Phoenix Rising: The 2019 Platinum Vinyl Awards 1st Qtr - Electronic

From one tie to another. There are actually three sets of ties this quarter. We had a four way tie with 5 entries and now have a two way tie with 6. We also have a two way tie with 9. That's a lot of horrendous neckware. 

Electronic and Industrial make the first of this pair. 

Electronic-Industrial

• Celldweller - Remixed Upon A Blackstar
• Celldweller - Remixed Upon A Blackstar Instrumentals
• Crusoe - A Cure For Gravity
• Hammock - Universalis
• Salt of The Sound - Beyond Here
• Soulbreather - Come Along

We have really filled out the category with Folk/Ambient (Soulbreather), Industrial (Celldweller), Trance/Ambient (Salt of The Sound, Hammock) and Other Electronic (Crusoe).  Instrumental is next. Until then, I am Awaiting Your Reply.

Night Beat Rewind: September 2018

Number Nine, Number Nine, Number Nine....Is now over. The eligibility year that was #PlatVnyl9 is now over, closed, kaput. It is hard to believe that it has been almost ten years since I started all this. Actually the official start of this incarnation of The Night Beat is 07/08/10, so we've got about 2 years to get a party organized.

#PlatVnyl9 eligibility is now over. Henceforth we are in the season of

#PVX

 

 

Don't Stop Believing: The 2018 Platinum Vinyl Awards 3rd Qtr - Electronic/Industrial

We now return to our regularly scheduled 3rd Quarter wrap. First up for the single genre's is Electronic/Industrial, the harder edge of Dance. They met the bar of 5 entries.

Electronic/Industrial

• Amman/Josh - Pieces
• Circle of Dust - alt_machines 
• Narrow Skies - Seasons
• Salt of The Sound - Meditations, Volume 3
• Somniscape - Calm, Volume 1

We need to make a few comments here. First, we are not trying to pad the results. Narrow Skies is one of two side projects by Salt of The Sound, the other being Antarctic Wastelands. Seasons is the full album combination of the four EP release of the past year. The third edition of Salt of The Sounds Instrumental series Meditations continues in their excellency. Two "new" artists make the list. Truly new is Amman/Josh (Amman Abbasi and Josh Varnedore) which has been discovered by Hammock. Somniscape is the instrumental side project of Eric Ooyoung (aka Future of Forestry). 

We go Live next. Until then, I am Awaiting Your Reply.

The Musical Industrial Complex: The 2018 Platinum Vinyl Awards 2nd Qtr (Jan - Mar, 2018) - Electronic Gospel

Continuing with our rollout (late) of the 2nd Quarter Nominees, we have our second of three multi genre posts. This time we have Electronic-Industrial and Gospel/R&B. Let's get right to it.

Electronic-Industrial

• Future of Forestry - Union
• Narrow Skies - Awakening
• Salt of The Sound - Lent, Volume 1 

Gospel/R&B

• Bee Ardoin - The Truth About Waking
• Todd Dulaney - Your Great Name 
• Jonathan McReynolds - Make Room
• Various Artists - WoW Gospel 2018

One more multi-genre post to go. Instumental Rock and Alternative are last to go, and then it is all single genre from then on.

Falling Rocks: The 2018 Platinum Vinyl Awards 1st Qtr - Modern Worship

If you never knew which genre was going to win the quarter, you obviously are new to The Night Beat (and if you are, Welcome). It's pretty much a running joke here, as it is well known that Modern Worship is the most bloated genre in Christian Music. Of course this quarter the genre has produced an album which just might win Album of The Year. So there.

Modern Worship

• Cherry Hills Worship - Cherry Hills Worship
• Higher Vision - For Your Kingdom
• ICF Worship - The Journey: A Collection
• Kutless - Alpha Omega
• Light City Music - In Rivers
• Matt and Toby - I Quit Church
• Anabeth Morgan - A Place Your Glory Dwells
• Young Oceans - Suddenly (or The Nuclear Sunburst of The Truth Revealed)
• Pursue Worship - Let it Rise
• J. Reynolds - Fire and The Flood
• Jeremy Riddle - More
• Salt of The Sound - In Prayer
• Soul Survivor - The Promise
• Southville - Freedom's Tree
• Austin Stone Worship - Everflow
• Substance I.O. - Input Output
• Vineyard Worship - Wear The Crown: Anchor Studio Sessions

Count them up. That's 17 entries in a single quarter. That's almost three years worth of finals, and it's only the first quarter. Thee more to go. This is the toughest genre to judge. The Second Quarter awaits. Until next time, I am Awaiting Your Reply.

A Perfect Scale: The 2016 Platinum Vinyl Awards 4th Quarter: Electronic-Industrial

We return to our rollout of the 4th Quarter Pool entries for 2016. These are the eligible releases for the months of July-September. We are going on to Electronic-Industrial, the darker side of synthpop. There were five entries here as well.

Electronic-Industrial

• K Gautier - The Prevailing
• Andy Hunter - Presence
• NYVES - Pressure
• Salt of The Sound - Meditations, Volume 2
• Jeremy James Whitaker - Broken Hearts

This is a stacked genre this quarter. Gautier, Hunter, NYVES, and Salt of The Sound all struck perfect 5's and they will be in the finals. That's 5 of Seven Slots, so this will probably be a genre buster. Whitaker fell just short at 4.75, so a good chance exists that it may make the finals as well. Up next is Hard Rock and Metal. Until then, I am Awaiting Your Reply.

A Perfect Scale: The 2016 Platinum Vinyl Awards 4th Quarter: Instrumental Gospel Folk Children

Do-re-me-fa-so-la-ti-do. That's the scale in question, just sayin. (What were you thinking I meant?). The musical reference is to announce that, for I believe the very first time ever (at least since the current genre expansion) had a quarter with at least one entry in every genre. Actually, that's part of the reason for the delay. I found out that NewReleaseToday and other sites aren't exactly reliable sources when it comes to Children's Music. So I had to do my own digging on Amazon. I found a bunch, including four for this quarter. The genre will be updated as the days go on, beginning with this one.

As is our custom, we roll out the quarters in ascending order starting with multiple genre postings for the orphan genres (those that don't make 5 entries. We have two of these this quarter). As is also our custom, these will be linked to Amazon for easy purchase to support The Night Beat. Do it. On to the nominees.

Folk/Folk Rock

• Sandra McCracken - God's Highway

Instrumental Music

• Salt of The Sound - Meditations, Volume 2
• Adam Young - Miracle In The Andes

Gospel/R&B

• Eddie James - Magnify
• Donnie McClurkin - The Journey (Live)
• Tamela Mann - One Way
• Candy West - Candy West Live

Children's Music

• Bible Jams - Bible Jams, Volume 1
• Colin Buchanan & Karen Pang - Living On The Rock
• Keith and Krysten Getty Kids - Getty Kids Hymnal: In Christ Alone
• Village On The Rise - Knowing God

We are off and running. One more multi-genre posting to go and then we are on to the single genre posts. Until then, I am Awaiting Your Reply.

Mistletunes: The 2016 1st Quarter - Industrial Metal Remix

We are back. Sometimes it is harder to get back into a routine than you expected. I know you have been waiting with baited breath, and here it is. The second and last multiple genre post. We cover three more genres: Electronic-Industrial, Remix, and Hard Rock/Heavy Metal. Let's get to it. 

Remix Album

• Family Force Five - Time Still Stands
• Hillsong Young and Free - We Are Young & Free - EP (The Remixes)

Electronic - Industrial

• Mutemath - Vitals
• Salt of The Sound - Echoes Of Wonder
• Seeker and Servant - You Alone Forever

Hard Rock/Heavy Metal

• Demon Hunter - Extremist (Deluxe Edition)
• For Today - Wake
• Stryper - Fallen
• Withered Bones - For the Ones I Love

That's it for this quarter for these genres. One big note here. Between these three genres we had Three Perfect Albums this quarter. Two of them came from Heavy Metal. Demon Hunter upped the ante with the release of their deluxe edition of Extremist. And Stryper continues to show the young ones how to do Metal. The third perfect album also comes from a group which is making excellence look easy, and that is Sweden's Salt of The Sound. Until next time, when we begin the Single genre posts with a four way tie, I am Awaiting Your Reply.

#PlatVnyl5: The Nominations Are In

The nominations are over. #PlatVnyl5 moves into the final judging period and the winners will soon be announced. The world waits with baited breath. Excluding compilations, there were 130 nominated artists, though featured appearances may have inflated the total by a few votes.

There were 55 categories, a record. The awards are spread over four fields: Album, Song, Video and General. Heading into the finals, British Expats Ben and Anita Tatlow, aka Stockholm's Salt of The Sound, lead the nomination pack with a record setting 11 nominations. Due to multiple nominations in a category, however, the maximum times they can step up to the virtual podium is 7.

They can be beat by the second place nominee holder, Kari Jobe of Gateway Church in Southlake, TX. Her 9 nominations for Majestic (Live) and its signature song Forever were all individual category nominations, so she has the opportunity to make 9 trips for 9 nominations. The album certainly lived up to its name. I confess at the first it didn't impress me, going only by Amazon clips. Once I saw and heard the video I changed my tune and upgraded it from 4.5 to a perfect 5 emeralds. It is a formidable hurdle for the others.

Tied for Second with 9 nominations is someone who probably will never be on the same stage with Kari Jobe. Metal Pioneers Stryper. Since they also had multiple nominations for two albums, they will only be eligible for 8 wins, which is pretty good considering.

Salt of The Sound led the debut artists, but they had a lot to crow about. Taking out the leader, the others had 34 entries between them. Rockers Veridia and Folk-Rock/Worship For The Fatherless were in second place with 6 apiece.

Though there is still no hardware and only a virtual venue as well (no pretty presenters or speeches), things are heating up and word is getting around. I give God all the glory for the growth of these awards, as I really am flying by the seat of my pants on this. And while all this is going on #PlatVnyl6 is halfway through the nomination period. Never a dull moment. 

I may be spotty on the blog. (Big Surprise) as it is my Birthday. No I won't tell you how old I am. So until next we meet, I am Awaiting Your Reply.

Night Beat Rewind: September 2014

We are interrupting our regularly scheduled Music Video Monday Schedule in order to get #PlatVnyl4 wrapped up as we cruise directly into #PlatVnyl5. One of the things I don't like about the September releases is that we start the Christmas Music Releases. Do we have to start this early, folks. The good part is I have no spot for them in the voting, so I can be honest with the voting and not think "am I trying to exclude (or include) them in the finals because of bias"

Christmas Music (Non-Eligible)

• Guy Penrod - Christmas 4.75 Emeralds
• David Phelps - O Holy Night (2014) 4.75 Emeralds
• Michael W. Smith and Friends - The Spirit of Christmas 5 Emeralds
• Sovereign Grace Music - Prepare Him Room: Celebrating the Birth of Jesus in Song 4.50 Emeralds

The fun part of Christmas Music is you get to hear artists we don't normally consider (Like Guy Penrod, a Gaither Southern Gospel Person, but here he went Jazz). We move on to the songs, or as we like to say here at The Night Beat

The Singles Scene

• 1 Girl Nation - Try 4.75 Emeralds
• Amy Grant - Welcome Yourself 4.50 Emeralds
• Andy Hunter - Harmony 5 Emeralds
• KJ - 52 - Gameface 4.75 Emeralds

Now we move on to the last of the #PlatVnyl5 eligible entries. After that we drain the pool and move on to #PlatVnyl6. Boy we have grown. I can still remember the first awards. But first, those that didn't make it. These are

Missing The Mark

• David Daughtry - David Daughtry 3.75 Emeralds
• Everfound - Reimagine 3.75 Emeralds
• Fever Fever - Aftermath 3.75 Emeralds
• Eamonn McCrystal - A Living Prayer 3.75 Emeralds
• OBB - Bright Side 3.75 Emeralds
• Robbie Seay Band - Psalms, Volume 3 3.75 Emeralds

Like I always say, these aren't bad albums (I would tell you if they were). They just didn't wow me enough to consider them for a Platinum Vinyl Award. Our next grouping, however, cleared all expectations. They are:

 Pure Platinum Perfection

• Disciple - Attack 5 Emeralds
• Plumb - Need you Now (Deluxe) 5 Emeralds
• Remedy Drive - Commodity 5 Emeralds
• Salt of the Sound - Meditations, V1 5 Emeralds
• Stryper - Live at The Whisky 5 Emeralds
• Various Artists - WoW Hits 2015 5 Emeralds
• Various Artists - WoW Hits 2015 Deluxe 5 Emeralds
• The Walls Group - Fast Forward 5 Emeralds

Eight Perfect albums to end the year. Sometimes the industry leaves the best for last. Though I do have a compilation award, only the Six single artist albums really count. Most releases are somewhere in between, however. These are the 

Semi-Precious Metal

• Boiling Point - More 4.75 Emeralds
• Climbing Blind - Burn 4.50 Emeralds
• Kim Collingsworth - Majestic 4.75 Emeralds
• Colossus - Badlands 4.50 Emeralds
• Lauren Daigle - How Can It Be? 4.75 Emeralds
• Desperation Band - Banner 4.50 Emeralds
• Flyleaf - Between The Stars 4.75 Emeralds
• Deitrick Haddon - Best of Dietrick Haddon 4.75 Emeralds
• Hillsong Worship - No Other Name Deluxe 4.50 Emeralds
• Justin Jarvis - Atmospheres 4.50 Emeralds
• Sarah Kelly - My Corner of Heaven 4.75 Emeralds
• For King and Country - Run Wild, Live Free, Love Strong 4.50 Emeralds
• Lara Landon - There is Grace 4.75 Emeralds 
• Lecrae - Anomoly 4.75 Emeralds
• Mandisa - Get Up: The Remixes 4.50 Emeralds
• John Mark McMillan - The Borderland Sessions 4.75 Emeralds
• Heath McNease - Fort Wayne 4.50 Emeralds
• Tim Neufeld - The Joy (f/The Glory Boys) 4.50 Emeralds
• New Hope Oahu - Victorious 4.50 Emeralds
• Matthew Parker - Shadowlands 4.75 Emeralds
• Paul Porter - F.R.E.E. 4.50 Emeralds
• Salt of The Sound - Through The Mist 4.75 Emeralds
• Kathryn Scott - Sing on The Battlefield 4.75 Emeralds
• Jenny Simmons - To Be Well 4.75 Emeralds
• Dustin Smith - Coming Alive 4.75 Emeralds
• Switchfoot - The Edge of The Earth: Unreleased Songs from the film Fading West 4.75 Emeralds
• Jaye Thomas - Here is my worship 4.50 Emeralds
• Veritas - Veritas 4.50 Emeralds
• Vineyard UK - Great Big God 5 4.75 Emeralds
• Brian Weaver - Motion 4.50 Emeralds
• Michelle Williams - Journey to Freedom 4.50 Emeralds
• Ayiesha Woods - It's Time 4.50 Emeralds

Kerrie Roberts still hasn't put out her album on iTunes or Amazon, and there are no sound clips on her personal website. Until something like that happens I can't review it, so it gets pushed to PV6 in my opinion.

 

That does it for this year. I am forgoing links for now. I know, I'm backlogged. Until next time, I am Awaiting Your Reply.

Night Beat Rewind: May 2014

We are finally caught up, and it is the last day of May. The nerve of the industry to release a ton of new material just at the time we are busy with #PlatVnyl4 nominations. We could say a conspiracy is afoot, but the truth is that we operate so far under the radar they probably don't even know we exist. But just maybe, if we make enough noise, like the who's of whoville, the industry Horton will know, "we are here".

We begin with "singles" this month, which is a new listing, and may help with song of the year nominees in the future.

Singles 

• For King and Country - Fix My Eyes 4.75 Emeralds
• Anthony Garland - Talk Dirty Reply to Jason Derulo 3 Emeralds
• Jars of Clay - Reckless Forgiver 4.50 Emeralds
• Jesus Loves Electro - Burning Love, The Remixes 4.75 Emeralds
• Salt of The Sound - It Must Be Hope 5 Emeralds
• David Thulin - Light In Me (feat Nicole Croteau), The Remixes 4.75 Emeralds

Looking at that list you'll note that they all just missed except that glaring 3 that I gave to Anthony Garland. All it contained was a hip hop beat with the words Satan Dirty to Me repeated at various intervals. If that is anything like the original it didn't need a reply. You don't need a response to horrible music. Only two albums missed the mark. The first, while I'm a little disappointed, I'm not especially surprised. That release belonged to CCM Veteran Carman, and his new release No Plan B got a just missed 3.75 Emeralds. It was a pretty good album, but no Champion, and was rewarded honestly. The other album that missed was a gospel album, Rachel Armstrong and Passion got 3.75 Emeralds as well.

Seven albums, however, rose to the occasion and beyond. They are those which are regarded as the most precious of all.

Pure Platinum

• My Epic - Behold (Instrumental) 5 Emeralds
• Wess Morgan - Livin' 5 Emeralds
• Relentless Flood - The Time Is Now 5 Emeralds
• Beckah Shae - Champion 5 Emeralds
• Seventh Day Slumber - We Are The Broken 5 Emeralds
• Tedashii - Below Paradise 5 Emeralds
• Various Artists - The Action Bible Remixed 5 Emeralds

I judge each genre separately, but each release exhibits those categories which I deem perfect in that genres makeup. 

Most albums aren't perfect, however. This month is no exception. These releases still qualify for the Platinum Vinyl 5 Pool, but they are

Semi-Precious Metal

• All Sons and Daughters - All Sons 4.50 Emeralds
• Arkansas Gospel Mass Choir - You Alone 4.50 Emeralds
• Artifex Dereo - Time In Place 4.50 Emeralds
• Audrey Assad - Death Be Not Proud 4.75 Emeralds
• Being As An Ocean - How We Both Wondrously Perish 4.50 Emeralds
• Chris and Gileah - Chris and Gileah 4.75 Emeralds
• Cor Captis - Hello Someday 4.75 Emeralds
• Crowder - Neon Steeple 4.75 Emeralds
• D-Tropp - Away From Home 4.50 Emeralds
• The Ember Days - The Ember Days Live EP 4.75 Emeralds
• Fellowship Creative - Running to Follow 4.75 Emeralds
• Fight The Fade - Second Horizon 4.75 Emeralds
• Mike Lee - Awakening Hearts 4.50 Emeralds 
• Shai Linne - Lyrical Theology Part 2: Doxology 4.75 Emeralds
• Shai Linne - Lyrical Theology Part 2: Doxology Instrumentals 4.50 Emeralds
• The Museum - What We Stand For 4.50 Emeralds
• V. Rose - Forever After 4.75 Emeralds
• Robbie Seay Band - Psalms, Volume 2 4.50 Emeralds
• Serge - Off Season 4.50 Emeralds
• Michael W. Smith - Sovereign 4.75 Emeralds
• Summit Worship - Our God is Unstoppable 4.50 Emeralds
• Michael Sweet - I'm Not Your Suicide 4.75 Emeralds
• Thi'sl - Fallen King 4.50 Emeralds
• Vineyard UK - Rooftops: The Sound of Vineyard Youth 4.75 Emeralds

That concludes this edition of Night Beat Rewind. It is such a good feeling to be caught up and on time. Until next time, I am Awaiting Your Reply.

Music Video Monday: Hope In The Bounce House

Welcome back to an all new edition of Music Video Monday. The Nomination Process of the Platinum Vinyl Award (#PlatVnyl4 Officially) is underway. Plus there is the NHL Playoffs, and this is Bruins Territory (of course Youppi of the Law firm Youppi, Snoopy and Cow is a BIG Habs Fan, so things are a bit tense in the office). Still, we manage to get things done. 

We have three videos for you today. We begin with a video from +Holly Spears , with a little help from the movie Virtuous. This is Where'd You Go.
Next up is a favorite "band" of mine. +Salt Of The Sound is the best thing to come out of Sweden since Jerusalem and Leviticus (what, did you think I was going to say ABBA?). This is the Lyric and Music video for It must be hope.
We finish things off with +Heath McNease . He recently made a video called Bounce House. The video has gone viral and been noticed by the likes of Time Magazine. Let's keep it going here.
Well that wraps things up for this edition of Music Video Monday. We will return with an all new edition next week. Until then, I am Awaiting Your Reply.
