Night Beat Rewind: January 2017

Welcome to the First Rewind of 2017. It is starting out to be quite an interesting year both musically and politically. Let's not waste any time. We begin with the song releases.

The Singles Scene

• Colton Dixon - All That Matters 4.75 Emeralds
• Matt Hammitt - Tears 4.75 Emeralds
• Matt Hammitt - United Again 5 Emeralds
• Carmen Justice - Flaming Arrows 4.75 Emeralds

From the singles to the full albums. We begin with the ones that will not make the pool for #PlatVnyl8.

Missing The Mark

• Advent - Pain and Suffering 3.75 Emeralds
• Mark Bishop - Seasons 3.50 Emeralds 
• Colony House - Only The Lonely 3.75 Emeralds
• Jimi Cravity - Heaven EP 3.75 Emeralds

• Strengthen What Remains - 2017 Promo 3.75 Emeralds
• Theory Hazit - It's Whatever 3.50 Emeralds 
• Watoto - Signs and Wonders 3.75 Emeralds 

Nothing bad can be said about our next release.

Pure Platinum Perfection

• Danny Gokey - Rise 5 Emeralds 

A 10:1 ratio Missing The Mark to Pure Platinum to start 2017 gives me good feelings. I always need reassurance that my critical skills are not going soft. Of course we all know that most of the releases fall somewhere in between.

• AMP - Futuregen 4.50 Emeralds
• The Brilliance - All Is Not Lost 4.75 Emeralds
