I can see some heads exploding with this title. Sometimes I like to tweak my audience (He Left Jesus, He's in favor of an Alternative Gospel. It really is too easy to egg on the easily offended). This multi genre post is comprised of Instrumental Music, Alternative Rock, and Gospel and R&B. (Urban Gospel - You should worry if it was Southern Gospel). Anyway, let us get on with it.
Instrumental Music
Gospel/R&B
Alternative Rock
Our third and final multi-genre post is next. 4 this time. Children's, Electronic, Metal, and Remix. Until then, I am Awaiting Your Reply.
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
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
- Yonetta Odessa - The Climb 3.50 Emeralds
- Jered Sanders - Nobody Famous 3.75 Emeralds
- Social Club Misfits - The Misadventures of Fern and Marty 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.
Semi-Precious Metal
That does it for this January edition of Rewind. It's finally out. Thankfully it is only March 1. On to February. Until next time, I am Awaiting Your Reply.
Sometimes when it looks like you are never going to get out ahead and a window opens up and poof. That has happened. #PlatVnyl6 nominees out, Blog Page Updated, and now the May Edition of Rewind out before June is half way over. Time to throw a party.
We begin our monthly Rewind with the songs released during the month, or as we call it
The Singles Scene
- Skillet - Feel Invincible 5 Emeralds
- Tauren Wells - Undefeated 4.50 Emeralds
If you haven't heard it already Tauren Wells is going solo. Royal Tailor has to find a new frontman. We go now to those releases which will not make the #PlatVnyl7 Pool
Missing The Mark
- Mari Burelle - Treasure 3.75 Emeralds
- Social Club Misfits - The Misfit Generation 3.75 Emeralds
Mari Burelle likes to style herself MARi, but unless you search by album you will never find it like that. Just a friendly bit of help. Our next group needs no help at all. They are
Pure Platinum Perfection
- Emery - Emery Acoustic: Live In Houston 5 Emeralds
- Rivers and Robots - The Eternal Son 5 Emeralds
- Seth and Nirva - Never Alone 5 Emeralds
One note. Emery produced an Acoustic Live EP which smashes all the preconceptions around both Live Albums and EP's. Therefore I have awarded it a full 5 Emeralds instead of the Maximum 4.75 that I normally give to EP's. Now most albums fall somewhere in between the two and we call them
Semi-Precious Metal
