Frost* – Hyperventilate

16th June, 2009 by Chewbacca

Frost* - Milliontown Jem Godfrey, a British music producer, was responsible for several pop hits, such as songs by Atomic Kitten and Holly Valance. However, do not let this news misguide you – Jem Godfrey’s progressive rock band, Frost*, is as far from the cheese-factor of these songs. However, with such an extensive period producing pop songs, he has brought his experience of creating catchy riffs and elements to progressive rock. Frost* was formed in 2004 with members of other popular prog-rock bands, Arena, Kino and IQ. In 2006, they put out their first album, “Milliontown”, a masterpiece in neo-progressive rock ending in an awesome twenty-six minute song. As is often the case with progressive rock, the length is often a hindrance to introducing a band. However, today’s track – the first on the album is a brilliant instrumental introduction to the band which reveals the awesome talents of the band. Although Frost* split up in 2007, they reformed last year and released a second album, “Experiments in Mass Appeal” which is also well worth a listen. For now, enjoy today’s track, “Hyperventilate”:

Alvin Lee – Lost in Love

11th September, 2007 by Chewbacca

Alvin Lee - Pure Blues So, I have been accused of having no real blues track to fully quantify having a blues category on Something Chewie (previous outings have been too much rock, not enough blues!) and so, open to suggestion and admittedly unwise in the area – I was presented with today’s track, which definitely doesn’t scrimper on the blues. As an instrumental track, “Lost in Love” has to wow you with only his music, and it surely does that, with powerful soulful playing to get you right into the full of it. Of course, Alvin Lee is a big name (being around since the ’60s), and although Something Chewie is about finding new artists, sometimes it nices to… “re-find” artists. I hope you enjoy Alvin Lee’s “Lost in Love”:
