The Ripple Effect
A Music Review 'Zine for Those Who Love Music
Thanks for checking out this inaugural posting of The Ripple Effect. Our goal is to provide you with an ezine that you can use over and over again, as a reference for building your music collection, with albums from the best-seller list to the cutout bins. We approach this goal, not as pretentious music critics, but as music lovers. We'll be reviewing a large variety of music, not just the cult hip bands, but also some of the larger, popular acts. We hope you'll find some of our reviews surprising. While its easy to rag on popular, mega-platinum sensations, let's face it, a band doesn't get to sell ten million copies without some redeeming qualities. We'll try to point out what these good points of the music are, as well as its flaws and provide you with some fun alternatives.
Our purpose here is very simple. We love music and love to share the music we love. There is such an abundance of great music,from all genre's that somehow manages to slip under the public consciousness. Whether the victim of poor marketing, bad timing or a hip band from a foreign country, these bands deserve attention and can offer a tremendous listening experience. Here, you will find all the bands we've mined from our years of ongoing research.
There are three of us at the Ripple Effect, with the help of some guest reviewers, representing a huge variety of musical tastes. Rock, jazz, blues, reggae, rap, trip hop,folk, prog, metal, punk, funk, soul, world music, chill, downtempo or classical, it doesn't matter to us, we'll spend our time mining the new and ancient releases finding the best for you.
In the end, it's all about the music. We hope that every once in a while, digging through our reviews, you'll find that one cool band you forgot about, or never heard of and will give it a chance. Who knows, it may turn out to be your favorite.
