Artist: Spacetime Continuum Title: Double Fine Zone Label: Astralwerks Rating: 8/10 Astralwerks Records is all about producing techno, and they have a lot to boast about with Spacetime Continuum’s new record, Double Fine Zone.

Since signing to Astralwerks in 1991, Spacetime Continuum has consistently pushed the boundaries of electronic music, making some of the most interesting and challenging…

Frank Sinatra
Frank Sinatra was arguably the most important popular music figure of the 20th century, his only real rivals for the title being Bing Crosby, Elvis Presley, and the Beatles. In a professional career that lasted 60 years, he demonstrated a remarkable ability to maintain his appeal and pursue his musical goals despite often countervailing trends.…

Sinomatic
With their perfectly blended cocktail of hard rock swagger and art-damaged pop, Sinomatic is ready, willing, and able to shake up the current state of modern music. The Youngstown, Ohio-based group’s self-titled Rust/Atlantic debut album sees the band kicking out their own special brand of nu-millenial rock n’ roll – power grooves and richly textured…

Sisqo
There’s little disputing the fact that the year 2000 belonged to Sisqo. The undeniable “Thong Song” became the first party anthem of the millennium and it’s follow up, the heart wrenching “Incomplete,” became a #1 pop smash. Few could predict that such a meteoric rise would merely hint at what the then platinum-cropped entertainment dynamo…

Sister Hazel – Fortress
Artist: Sister Hazel Title: Fortress Label: Universal Rating: 5.5/10 Sister Hazel is best known for their number one hit single, “All For You”. If you don’t remember the track, that’s fine.

Sister Seven – Wrestling Over Tiny Matters
Artist: Sister Seven Title: Wrestling Over Tiny Matters Label: Arista Rating: 6/10 Sister Seven has a great sound. Though occasionally confusing, they are skilled performers that deserve a listen.

Sister Seven
“Sister 7 had a scant forty minutes to prove their mettle tonight. It took only one, just long enough for the snaky liquid groove of “This The Trip” to come to a boil over Pike’s ultra-confident delivery of the first chorus. “Trip on baby, come along,” she growled like a seductive Tina Turner peddling apples…
