this is pablo's review of the SU Global Jam album. feel free to edit this page and add your own reviews :o)
Disc one
1. Jeanie Flowers - No One Left At home http://guitargirl.stubleupon.com http://www.myspace.com/jeanieflowers http://www.flowersmusic.net http://www.guitargirl.org
Beautiful song beautifully performed. And great production courtesy of http://nibito.stubleupon.com.
2. Tobi Hang - Breather http://my-musicblog.stubleupon.com
What starts out as a simple instrumental gains so much from dark electronic production. really enjoying this - a vast, optimistic soundscape. sounds like it should be in a movie.
3. Gareth Llewellyn Armstrong - Paper Dragons http://donniedarko.stumbleupon.com http://www.myspace.com/paperdragons
What a voice! the eastern melodies make this hypnotic, driving thinkpiece sound like so much more than the acoustic guitar and vocal that make it up. there is a hint of the Doors here, and that's no mean feat. Looking forward to hearing this at Global Jam Live - http://musicians-their-music.group.stumbleupon.com/forum/55242/.
4. Anibal Miranda - Just Now http://nibito.stubleupon.com
This is beautiful. the violins on this are so refreshingly different. It's a powerful song and Anibal's vocals make it something special.
5. Dragonhead - Year Without A Summer http://dragonhead.stubleupon.com http://dragonhead.me.uk http://www.myspace.com http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/dragonhead http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/dragonhead2 
Ah, the man himself. The Godfather of Global Jam. Really well put together, I can only begin to imagine how much work went into making this sound so full without being cluttered - a real skill. Looking forward to Slipstream Science now. And can't wait to hear Films Without Pictures, which arrived with my Global Jam CDs. Nice work Andy :o)
6. Contraption - Wet Dream http://emortis9.stumbleupon.com http://www.myspace.com/contraption
These lyrics are great. This is a driving, insistent, crunchy twin-vocal assault. Play this loud.
7. Vate - Diablo (En Vivo) http://vate.stumbleupon.com http://www.vate.com.mx
Ah, Phat Beats :o) Dark Groove excellently produced. I'm scared.
8. Burton Richardson - Freedom Fighters http://burtonger.stumbleupon.com
More Phat beats. This time with a dark, Indian flavour. Sonic weirdness - so different to anything else, and all the better for it.
9. Steve Blomerth - So Smart http://numenorean.stumbleupon.com
Classic Rock - nice production and guitar work
10. Trevor Joyce - I'm Not Gonna Die http://hapax.stumbleupon.com http://www.soundeye.org/trevorjoyce
Wow! a poem! This is very cool. Very bitter, very honest, very witty. very Irish.
Disc two
1. Ariel X - Sunship http://arielx.stumbleupon.com
This reminds me of my youth. Good ol' Ariel has created a house classic. and he's ma homie
2. Axydlbaaxr - Resurrection http://axydlbaaxr.stumbleupon.com http://www.myspace.com/axydlbaaxr
This would be a great piece of music in its own right. Knowing the story behind it makes it even more poignant.
3. From Rusholme With Love - Sunny Summer Smile http://mogfather.stumbleupon.com http://spikeygman.stumbleupon.com http://fromrusholmewithlove.co.uk
This is me, so not really my place to review it :o) if someone would like to edit this page with a review though, i'd be grateful.
if you like it though, you can hear more here - http://www.fromrusholmewithlove.co.uk/music
4. Jordana Kocher and Ian Woods - Don't Let Go http://jeradarklighter.stumbleupon.com
love the guitar work on this epic
5. Project Bluebird - Rose Colored War http://eisy.stumbleupon.com - i think eisy is the lyricist, not the performer, but this was the only link on the sleevenotes
Nice bit of bluegrass
6. R L Hargis - Miranda http://rhargis.stumbleupon.com http://www.mp3.com/rlhargis
not a song about a girl, as i had expected, or a song about Anibal, but about the miranda rights. a stroke of genius
7. Migrant Pickers - I Ain't religious http://migrant-picker.stumbleupon.com http://myspace.com/migrantpickers
Great blues tune, and a nice sentiment
8. Ian Woods - The Cold http://icwoodsy.stumbleupon.com
More great fretwork from Woodsy
9. Third Track Conspiracy - Poor Little Me http://dragonhead.stumbleupon.com
Dragonhead goes all darkside. Quite hypnotic. i think this will be one to get lost in when under the influence :o)
10. Trevor Joyce - Saws (for Linda) http://hapax.stumbleupon.com http://www.soundeye.org/trevorjoyce
Moving words from Global Jam's resident Irish beat poet. lovely work again.
