The best so far.......2005-08-02

Tommy T returns with slew of friends to make the Distortion Chamber the best Diverje disc yet. Joining Tommy this round are Josh Wood (The Mercy Cage), Vince Pujol (E.S.R.), Xon (Boundless/Symbiont), and Justin Cameron (Lexincrypt)-just to name a few. if you have any experience with these bands, you will love this record and clearly see the various artists influences (If you haven't heard them, look for them at DSBP records). This is the heaviest Diverje disc to date, and therfore my fav. Best tracks are #5 -You Pleasure (Harsh), #6 -I walk alone, and #7 No time for compromise. However, many other tracks are also good. You will find something for all electro fans. Heavily distorted vox and synths, great programming and pummeling beats, and a few danceble club tracks. I give it only 4 stars b/c I am a fan of lyrics (yes, even in industrial music) and while I love the message in Tommy's lyrics, sometimes they just don't work. All in all, great disc, their best yet. 15 tracks - 74 minutes of harsh electro/industrial. Shows that even record label presidents can make great music.

Album Description

"Underground Famous is a strong indie release that will easily appease fans looking for fresh & creative music to enjoy. The album is stacked with fourteen full length tracks, over seventy minutes, of entertainment & insight. Fluent is talented, and he earns a ton of respect & recognition for this strong indie release that is a smorgasbord of dazzling lyrics, and explosive beats.

Fluent is abrasive with his lyrics, a down to earth, put it all on the line type of lyricist. Fluent is intense, creative, witty, & energetic on the microphone. His flow is tight, his punch lines are witty & funny, his rhymes are well written, and his delivery is impressive. Fluent spits a million bars and never has the need to surface for air. He dazzles fans effortlessly with his music, talent, and skills. Fluent gets heads nodding in a fraction of a second, and ears never tune out or away from his commanding, and captivating vocals.

Underground Famous more than deserves listening attention. The album sets off with an average introduction track - not the best way to introduce an album's music to fans, but intro's never are in any regards. Intro's never add to the music, and always take away from the flow of an album. Once fans get past the minute or so of the introduction, they are pleasantly delivered into a non-stop, ever fresh, & continuously dazzling array of fourteen incredible full length tracks, the first being Guarantee. Guarantee is a strong track that does a great job introducing Fluent & his music to fans. The beat is equally as impressive & explosive as the lyrics. The next track, entitled "Dreams Come True", continues to stimulate fans with another incredibly strong beat, and some of Fluents best laid bars on the entire album. The album continues with a slue of equally as impressive songs that are sure to draw attention & earn respect.

Overall Underground Famous is a strong album that is creative, refreshing, and deserving of undivided listening attention & heavy rotation in audio systems world wide. Fluent is extremely talented, and deserves complete recognition for his music & skills. This is mandatory listening."

Incredible.......2005-03-15

The way that Fluent uses wordplay is impecable. His theories are untouched by any other individual currently making music. I cannot wait to hear what he will come up with next.

"Underground Famous" is out of the box hip hop!.......2005-03-09

Fluent's wordplay is on a different level with real intelligent lyrics. "Underground Famous" challenges the listener which is how all music should be. 4 Eva Blesst has some dope beats too, real underground.

My advice, get this album because Fluent is an emcee with undeniable skills. Can't wait for the next LP "inFLUENTial"!

Album Description

"Blues-based, groove-baked music made to put your ass in a trance." The debut CD from Michigan's Fluent Blue promises to take you on a journey through various musical landscapes. From Katalyst, the Chili Peppers influenced intro song, to Dose, which evokes images of a vintage Santana instrumental, through the mellow, jazzy final cut, Blue Light, Fluent Blue proves that there are still bands willing to take chances and delve outside of the corporate pop-rock arena.

Great Album.......2001-05-25

This is a great CD. Since I bought It I think I have listened to it more than any other CD I own. I would recomend it to anyone who really appreciates music. Also they are great live. Their unreleased song "Birds Have Wings.." is very good, and the only way to hear it is to see them live.

Unbelievable.......2000-11-02

I have been a devout fan of Fluent Blue since their inception a few years ago. They mix a fiery blues melody with Santana-esque tones intertwined. The album gives a broad reality of what is "Fluent Blue." These guys also put on a live show that matches non other. If you ever get a chance....go see them.

Four Walls Bending may be the best album of the past century.......2002-11-27

This album is so overwhelming on so many levels.

Four Walls Bending is a real masterpiece, and its grandeur may only be experienced by the listener, once the album is on one's CD player.

Although Emily herself prefers to describe Four Walls Bending as a "pop" album, it's rather an incredibly artistic, profound, subtle, complex, experimental, surprising and beautiful piece of work.

Emily's got a great love for music, and her aesthetical sense is unmatched, as we easily realize once the album starts playing.

Indeed, Emily manages to create dissonant / psychodelic, and still very melodic songs, as the unusual arrangements are on par with her beautiful, soothing and well trained voice.

Obviously, Emily Bezar's ingenious music may not be easily digested by those who are used to MTV or radio friendly songs only. Still, she certainly became somewhat more accessible to the general audience here, albeit kept the high level of her work.

Comparisons to Tori Amos and Kate Bush will always spring to mind. But a deeper contact with Emily's material will be more than enough to demonstrate - even to the most uncaring ears - that any resemblances are as remote as they can be: her music is her own.

In fact, as talented as Tori Amos and Kate Bush are, they never attained the depth and the level of experimentalism that Bezar so easily seemed to have achieved.

If one wants to give this VERY talented artist a try, this is the best start. Highly recommended.

wonderful ms bezar ............2001-12-06

i bought this album having never heard this artist's work and i have to say that i love this album. having been a fan of kate bush and tori amos for what seems like forever and a day, i was almost ecstatic when i heard there was an artist who had a style even remotely similiar to these two overly talented women. this cd is one of the most amazing cds i've ever heard and i haven't stopped playing it since the day it arrived in the mail and that was 12/05/01. ms.bezar obviously has had an extensive background in classical music as well as opera but here she shows she is also well-educated in classical or modern jazz. what fascinates me even more is that she fuses modern rock in with these jazz and classical compostions. most of her songs veer away from the mystical and faery themes and focuses more on the joys, fears, and ultimate hopes of motherhood. it's just a shame in my opinion that more folks have not had exposure to ms.bezar's phenomenal work.

Emily Bezar's fabulous art rock offspring.......2000-06-13

I would place "Four Walls Bending" up there with Emily Bezar's ingenious debut "Grandmother's Tea Leaves", in the "records that should have sold 10-million copies instead of 'Hit me baby one more time'" category. While the stylistic transformation that Bezar has made in "Four Walls Bending" (her third album to date) is huge and not necessarily a logical extension of her sophomore effort, "Moon in Grenadine", it is nonetheless a stunning and original piece of work. Bezar's band, who made their first appearance on "Moon in Grenadine", is back in peak form; far from sounding like a studio-assembled backing band, the different members interact almost organically. When the songs occasionally extend into "jam session" territory, the musicians keep it interesting with their tight interaction and remarkable proficiency. Apart from the newfound rock instrumentation, what sounds most different about Bezar's new CD is that it contains many more pop elements than either of her previous albums. "Grandmother's Tea Leaves" was an electronic foray into slightly pop-tinged art song, and "Moon in Grenadine" was a somewhat indecisive album in which melodic piano ballades, quasi-progressive rock and fusion sat side by side; Four Walls Bending is definitively in the pop/rock idiom, but respectably so. Bezar's chord progressions remain daring and unexpected, and her delicious tendency to explore alternate time signatures remains intact (if not accentuated, given her fantastic rhythm section). However, the lyrics on "Four Walls Bending" are more accessible, songs are more concise, and Bezar's piano playing sounds less like Debussy and more like Tori Amos. While that comparison may have been inaccurate on previous albums, it is definitely right on the mark here: Bezar has almost abandoned her previously operatic-sounding voice for a more breathy, pop sound (well, to be blunt her voice sounds a lot like... Tori.) Interestingly, some of "Four Walls Bending" sounds strikingly like "Little Earthquakes"/"Under the Pink"-era Tori, and some of it sounds very much like the recent "To Venus and Back". People who found the first two albums hard to digest will likely be seduced by the sheer catchiness of "Four Walls Bending", as well as Bezar's recent tendency to expose her emotions through tender lyric-writing (about half the new album is about her newborn son). My personal favorite tracks are "Filigree of Noon", "Black Sand", and the title track. While this album is not as daringly original or avant-garde as her first two, it is perhaps more cohesive and retains the unique mesh of pop, (prog) rock, jazz, and classical that is Emily Bezar.
