New Kyle Brylin, New Aidan Casserly

Two new Ninthwave releases to tell you about this week


Kyle Brylin “Everything I’m Missing” b/w “Make It So”
Two hot new songs from Kyle, including the previously locked away “Make It So.” Kyle has been on fire lately, popping up on “Melanie LaPatin presents Ballroom Remixed” where his song “I’m a Man, Not A Piece of Meat” caught a lot of people’s attention (it’s the best selling song off the album btw). His cover of Rihanna’s “S&M” struck more than a few as being much better than even the original.
So now we have two new songs from Kyle, written and produced entirely by Mr. Brylin himself. Keep your eye on this one, lots of great stuff coming out over this long, hot, summer!

"The naming of Blue" (from a poem title by Cathal Casserly) is the 2nd solo album from Irish singer/songwriter Aidan Casserly (noted and respected lead singer from both Empire State Human and The Garland Cult).
Released in 2011 on Ninthwave Records, "The naming of Blue" is especially dedicated to Aidan's dear brother Neville who passed away in Oct 2010, after a long and brave battle with throat cancer and who is sorely missed by all his family and friends.
This is the follow up to "White Soul" (2009) and whereas "White Soul" was purely acoustic, "The naming of Blue" mixes orchestral, pop, ballad, electro, torch song, rock and ambient music elements, to create an ambitiously moving and emotional collection of personal songs, but also songs which really shines and stand out on first listen.
The album features a song called "Castles" co-written with pianist Martin Watkins, who is famous for his piano and keyboard work with the legendary Marc Almond. The album also feature's Aidan's touching tribute to the late and great lead singer of The Assoicates Billy Mackenzie, with the song "Boy Song (for Billy Mackenzie)".
Maybe this is the album Aidan was born to record afterall ..... and with over 200+ Aidan Casserly related tracks currently now on iTunes since 2002 alone (Empire State Human, The Garland Cult & Figaro), that's quite a musical journey indeed.
Here's a simple promo video to a song from the album "Steal for Love" which many feel has 'a hit single' written all over it.

Bass! The Bass Must Flow from Cotton & Gin


The Bass Must Flow by ninthwaver

RIP Martin Rushnet June 4th 2011

He is the man behind the first non- BEF Human League album (aka "Dare")
For my money his finest work was with Peter Shelly. But Dare is still one of my top ten all time albums
