Blue Man Group

The Blue Man Group is a "band" wearing lots of make-up (mainly blue) and they put on a theatrical show with lots of effects and pretty boring dance music. Think Kiss for the house crowd.

It just does not work on a home stereo, not even a good one. Canta Conmigo is a collection of remixes released to cash in on the hugely successful South American tour, where they performed for large crowds. The problem is: a remix cannot save the day if the basic track was not great to begin with. In a cut-out bin near you very soon.

Francesco Cinelli - Good Times Good Times

Francesco Cinelli is an Italian songwriter who was raised in London. He recorded his first full length album Glue in his bedroom and self-released it using his band name Good Times Good Times.

Good Times Good Times: Glue

Creating folk songs is easy enough, creating good folk songs is something else. Glue is an album that makes the cut. Franceso loves Johnny Cash, but he sounds more like a young Bob Dylan in his Simple Twist of Fate mode without the poet imagery. Glue is album full of melodies that will stick in your ear.

You can buy Glue at his website.
