Editorial Product Review: :''After As Is Now I thought the time was right to make the sort of record Iwanted to make,'' says Paul Weller of the creative process which ledto his striking ninth solo album 22 Dreams. ''Instead of worrying aboutanyone else, I wanted to really push the boat out. I think the result is goingto surprise a few people.'' Surprises have always been part of the artisticvernacular for the man who changed rock forever with The Jam, explored ...
Editorial Product Review: :If it's your belief that one of the reasons today's rock is so bereft of personality is that all sense of show business has been drained from the music, then a look back at the career of Styx offers proof positive that it wasn't always thus. Greatest Hits offers a comprehensive overview of the band, from its art-rock days--which produced a top 10 hit in 'Lady,' a new version of which is included in this package--to its years ...

Editorial Product Review: :'A live performance from October 20, 1994, Pulse records the great psychedelic band Pink Floyd rocking out like only they can. Renowned for their hallucinatory special effects and lighting schemes, Pink Floyd goes all out at this spectacular (and very long) concert. Twenty-one of their classics are performed, including classic rock radio staples Dark Side of The Moon and Wish You Were Here. :At long last Pink Floyd: Pulse has arrived on DVD, and Floyd fans already ...
Editorial Product Review: essential recording:Less than a year after the release of CSN's groundbreaking debut, the group returned with Stephen Stills's former Buffalo Springfield cohort/rival Neil Young augmenting the threesome. The result is a less concentrated but more kinetic creation; Young swims through the celestial harmonies of rock's best barbershop trio like a fly in consommé. While somewhat dated ('Almost Cut My Hair'? Wait a while, David, it'll fall out), Deju Vu is teeming with early '70s FM staples, including ...
Editorial Product Review: essential recording:Queen brought a whole new meaning to the phrase over the top. While rock & roll flamboyance stretched back at least as far as Little Richard, Freddie Mercury continued to camp it up, taking little seriously and smirking at the music's growing pretensions while partaking in them no small bit. Many of the band's singles hold up extremely well, later tracks such as 'Hammer to Fall' as much as prime-era numbers such as 'Bohemian Rhapsody,' 'Killer ...

Editorial Product Review: :This compilation repeats seven tracks from 1988's Money For Nothing anthology. Given that Mark Knopfler and crew have recorded one new album during the decade between best-of collections, how different could Sultans of Swing be? For one thing, CD dominance has made for longer compilations, and this one is fleshed out by singles, three tracks from 1991's On Every Street, and Knopfler's solo 'Local Hero' theme, performed live. More importantly, the second track here is the band's terrific ...

On paper, the Mio DigiWalker P550 looks to be an attractive gadget for the mobile professional, combining the capabilities of a PDA and GPS into one device. However, its poor battery life and subpar navigation skills tell a different story.
Though it won't appeal to the masses quite yet, the Nokia N800 Internet Tablet is a nice, portable device for on-the-go Web browsing, and it has some worthy upgrades.
Though it's expensive, the Sony VAIO VGN-TX670P delivers a great combination of business and entertainment features, long battery life, and unparalleled connectivity in an incredibly ultraportable package.
