Everytime I hear This I cannot believe it's not HUGE!!!!

I am a 34 year old Real Estate agent who used to own a Dance Club.... Think 10 years ago going to school... My personal leanings musically are more 80's dance and new wave... I got into the Gin Blossoms, Toad The Wet Sprocket, Origin stuff in the early 90's but when Nirvana changed the style of mainstream music I sort of dropped out... Went to dance music and there wasnt much of it... These past few years as I was busy with a family and real job I have not payed much attention but about a year ago I found Synthpop and www.adifferentdrum.com and www.slothradio.com aside from the synthopop and Blank and Jones type stuff I have been listening to I also have liked a lot of the teen-i-bopper music out latley... really top fourtyish as it has a dancable beat and the best writers seem to have gone that direction for the money.... K thats a long intro for why this album BLOWS me away... I have all this stuff playing in my office to keep me and my staff pumped all the time and whats wierd is we have this server (iTunes) where everyone can choose from 90 gigs woths of music and with iTunes you can keep track of number of plays. In the past 3 months with probably 100 new CDs in the server in that time this one is on top of all of them with the Killers coming in second. Its sort of dark, but energy filled, INCREDIBLE vocals and it really makes you want to dance. Please... check out the different mixes of

Mmmm...my music collection is getting minty fresh....

I mean it too. These past few albums that I have reveiwed really have brightened my music collection.

There wasn't much excitement going on in my music collection, so I actually did all these recommendation steps for amazon, and WOW. I am getting really good results, and I'm happy I have been taking these risks.

This CD rocks.

It's heavy enough for me, not so light, but it's got a slightly more goth rock/industrial sound to it. Like Ego Likeness or Faith and the Muse.

The first song "Single" is a perfect mix of these elements, and really starts the album off well. I think this group has a lot of potential and hope they continue putting out music.

The "Gabriel" song is really good. It's fast, and it has some good beats.

The remix, which is also on the CD, is positively stunning. I love it. Changes the feel of the song totally. makes it harder, and darker, and even adds some trance to it.

I'm very thankful for finding this genre, and I can only hope to explore it more and more.

A powerful and emotional experience

In today's modern landscape of throwaway pop and one-hit wonders, Glow presents an album of substance. Beautiful female vocals accompany electronics and guitars to create a fresh sound in the general realm of Everything But the Girl meets the Sundays. My personal favorite is "Regret", which builds over the course of the entire song from a gentle remembrance to a poignant lament of love lost to time. Yeah, it sounds cheesy the way I say it, but believe me, it is a powerful song that always prompts a second or third listen from me whenever I play through the CD (which is often!). You'll be glad you picked this one up.
