Posted by Mannieb on 8/26/2006, 1:51 pm And then I woke up - or did I? Today's dream can be tomorrow's reality and Norine Braun, founder of Braun and Brains Music, and the other artists on the Next Wave compilation are making it happen. This CD, twenty cuts from an international roster of artists, proves what this writer has always maintained - that there is excellent music in any and all genres. Like Mick Jagger said back in the day, it's the singer not (just) the song. Ms. Braun seems to think so, too. The forms and styles on the record include jazz pop, goth, old school country, New Wave (Greg Summerlin), Glam rock, circa 1972 (ecb), electro pop and clash (david z, Liliput). Rock is represented by Marwood, from New York, and the dynamic power songstress Vougeot, from Stillwater, whose vocal style is an unlikely mix of Joan Jett and Kelly Clarkson. Tracy Stark proves to be a mistress of the creamy jazz ballad on "Morning Light." There's also a retro '80s funk rock number, Raymond Fiore's "Spin The Wheel," hip hop soul from Flow, a female vocal group, and a guitar opus by Dave Hart called "No. 5."

Remember the future? When radio stations turned their back on niche marketing and began to give us listeners what we knew we wanted all along? When, much like in eras past, popular music meant quality, with something for the mind, the heart, the soul and the libido? Well, Braun and Brains Music presents - Next Wave! A compilation of hits from around the world, musically and literally. This record has all the hits, from the kickin' roadhouse country of MiniMal's "Crescent City" and Aussie sensation Megan Laurie's "Light at the End of the Bottle," to the neogoth "Nice Day (For a Murder)" by Morgan and jazzy pop neoclassics like "Cystallize" by Norine Braun. And there's more . . .
