>> BitBurn's Top 10 Favorite Songs of all time!


I don't think that this is fair because there are so many songs I love and could fit in there! To me, a good song is one that has touched your life at some point and one that brings back some beautiful memories of a passed experience. Example: a summer vacation somewhere, school graduation, college days and, of course, a break-up or a new beginning :-) For what it's worth here's a bunch of songs that means a lot to me...

01- Right in the Night (Jam & Spoon)
02- Avalanche (Matthew Good)
03- Insomnia (Faithless)
04- Watermark (Enya)
05- When the smoke is going down (Scorpions)
06- One Slip (Pink Floyd)
07- Running for Home (Matthew Good Band)
08- Cups (Underworld)
09- Photograph (Def Leppard)
10- Giv me luv (Alcatraz)

Background Info

I play guitar, bass, keyboards and been trying real hard to sing for the past 20 years! I have brutally succeeded in a few projects and at karaoke bars. But one day I'll be the world's greatest dummer... I mean drummer!

I find playing and listening to music fun and relaxing. I tried to make a living of it back in 1994. The band I was part of, Capital Sound, won a Juno Award in 1995 and we really believed it. Wow! In 1996 we produced a 2nd record but it didn't really work as well as the first one. So we pulled the plug and decided to focus on other things. I chose a career in Information Technology.

But, in the year 2000 I roused back with yet another electronic music project called BlueTonicWorld and this one went straight to #1 in the electronic chart of mp3.com and #4 on the global chart, up against Madonna and Korn! Over 1.3 million downloads so far! I was proud to be part of the Mp3 explosion. Ironically, when you don't take yourself too seriously things work out great.

Music CD Reviews
If I like a lot it's 5 stars / If I don't like it's 1 star...duh!

David Gilmour "On An Island"  
Does it sound like Floyd? Well, of course. So, is that surprising? Not at all and quite welcomed to say the least! It is a very beautiful album, very enjoyable and very well crafted. Don't expect any big surprises; the man has nothing to prove here. Who you think will enter the legend? Sean Paul or David Gilmour?  Duh!!!!

Depeche Mode "Playing the Angel"  
Needless to say, these ol'farts still have a few new tricks under their sleeves! From the first 3 seconds you can tell they're back with a vengeance! The sound is raw, intense but yet underneath all these analog synth layers of cool dirty licks you still find that goody deep and distinctive DM melodies that never cease to please us! Wonderful! Definitely their best since 1993's Songs of Faith & Devotion.

BT "Emotional Technology"
I must say, I love the way this guy produces music with such quality and detail. On this new album, he truly pushes the limits; every measures and beats are crafted with such precision it's scary! But there's a slight problem though: The songs are not that good. I mean, incredible production is one thing but where's the beef? Where's the magic in the songs itself? I really did enjoy one track and it's called "The Force of Gravity".

System Of A Down "Mesmerize"  
Once in a while there comes an album that's got that edge over all the competition; Daring, fresh, and cleverly smart. That album "Mesmerize" from System of A Down is one of those albums. And that's why it deserved BitBurn.org's five stars! It's brutal, raw and  fun to listen too cuz it's so freakin' retarded! I love it.

Foo Fighters "In Your Honor"
Man o' man I love that song "Best of you"! Best rock song I've heard in a long time. But, like every other Foo album released before, there's only 3 good songs! And those songs are "No way back", "Best of you" and "Over and out". So that's disappointing for a double-disc package.

Coldplay "X & Y"
Well, here it is, the new album we've all been waiting for! You know, Kelefa Sanneh of Rolling Stones Magazine said it all and exactly using terms I'm not smart enough to come up with! ;-) But my feeling is the same and results as follow: It's great, but that's all it is; great and nothing more. A surprising number of songs here just never take flight. Maybe I was expecting too much. To me, it sounds like a band that didn't know exactly where to go. Perhaps they should have waited another year before releasing a new album.

Nine Inch Nails "With Teeth"
I was not too surprised when I heard this album for the first time. And that's a good thing actually. Just like any previous NIN release, this one is avant-gardism as well. Reznor hasn't lost his touch in creating original music as both his writing style and sound proves it. Nonetheless, there's a bleakness that I can't run away from; some tracks are simply too mind-numbing for me.

Dirty Vegas "One"
Exactly what I rate this album: One star. What the f....?!! You know, if I want to listen to pop-rock I'll play U2 or Coldplay because at least that's what those guys are good and known for. But what in the name of hell is this? Where's that groovy house beat; the cool laid-back synthesizers; the awesome and thick bass line? There's nothing here but an attempt to be like every pop artist but worse, to be a bad pop-artist: dull, unoriginal, monotonous, and not a sign of life...not one sign of the Dirty Vegas I once knew.
