MYSPACE MUSIC REVIEW - HARPITALLICA
http://www.harptallica.com/
Ashley Toman is a genious. At least in my eyes she is. First of all the very notion of playing Metallica via the harp is as innovative as you will see on Myspace or any space for that matter. Secondly (and most importantly) Harpitallica's music is melodic, beautiful, soothing and most listenable. (Even if you know nothing about the harp).
The cover of the Metallica music takes an active ear to find the tune. But that is a good thing. It isn't so much a Metallica cover as it is an adaptation, a merging of the musical genres that creates a most soothing and interesting listening experience.
When their CD comes out I am buying. It is that good. Harpitallica....thank you for the innovative creation that you are producing. It is a musical lighthouse in a sea of sameness.

MYSPACE MUSIC REVIEW - PAULINE TAYLOR
Pauline Taylor
http://www.myspace.com/paulinetaylor
There is one word that I think of when I hear Pauline…smooth. This woman is full of soul with a bit of a folk edge. She has low vocal tones sounding at times like a young Karen carpenter or Tracy Chapman with a British accent. Her song "We Dream" is probably one of my favorites. There are some very creative lyrics that you'll want to stick in your back pocket to quote later and the piano in this one is mixes in really well. I also love the feel of "My open heart".
There is a real Johnny Cash like honesty and even though it brings you low, you still get that uplifting soft southern feeling while listening. "Solo flying mystery" is a great acoustic track with some really pleasant percussion and beautiful harmonies. It builds up really nice with some light piano and acoustic guitar bringing it back down to a perfect ending. Pauline definitely knows what she's doing with her style and I hope we continue hear more of her in the future.
