SOUND PROOF RECORDS
SOUND PROOF-SOUND PROOF
$12.99
ALBUMS ONLY(NASONI-RECORDS)
| Sound Proof can be regarded as a collective of musicians from Florida that groups around Jason Hanley. They call their music "a provocative raw form of folk-fueled blues and jazz sound". But by listening to this record you'll discover strong influences of psychedelia and westcoast rock as well. There is plenty of acoustic guitar but liberal amount of electric guitar, keyboards and wailing harmonica as well. The Lyrics of their songs bemoan tales of lives lived rough. This album promises to take the listener on an odyssey of human experiences. Ultimately SOUND PROOF is an honest and visual musical experience. |

| Acoustic Sketches incorporates stand up bass and tabla drum, a new bottom end to soundproof as it continues to pull together different styles of music to contribute to its unique sound. Doug Howard on keyboard gives a progressive Jazz/fusion undertone, Rich Paray on the tabla drums add a touch of world music and Steve Jernigan on the stand up bass gives soundproof a new rich bottom end. The result is a highly texturized sound with unpredictable twists and rhythmic jams. Jason Hanley’s constant incorporation of new players continues the never ending evolution of Soundproof, bringing acoustic folk based music to new levels. |

SOUND PROOF AND FRIENDS LIVE @ THEMP3CAFE.COM
$12.99
AVAILABLE ON CDS(SOUNDPROOF-RECORDS)
| Live@Themp3cafe.com draws as much from world-music influences as it does from blues or rock, making it a good soundtrack for a wake-and-bake, lazy Sunday morning. Bongos, swirling guitars, lengthy instrumentals and positive lyrics fill the disc. It starts off slowly, giving you time for the coffee and whatnot to kick in, before picking up with a clever cover of the klezmer tune "Russian Sher." The album mellows out again with the reggae-inflected "Some May Say," then builds with the 16-minute, New-Agey flute solo "Living in Harmony." It is a must buy cd. |
SOUND PROOF (1999-2003)
$12.99
AVAILABLE ON CDS(SOUNDPROOF-RECORDS)
| Sound Proof’s self-titled effort is a calm trip through a well-crafted landscape of organic sound, and on the whole, its songs, while simple, lack pretentiousness in any and all regards. Rather than attempting big budget drama that it likely can’t afford, the group clearly aimed at capturing a minimalist sound. However, where many have struggled with a similar approach, Sound Proof succeeds, utilizing its acoustic guitar accompaniments to punctuate the "laid back and chilled over ice" ambience of the entire album. There are touches of folk and Latin-tinged flourishes that grace the collection, and a faint echo of reminiscence hangs over many of the tunes. Tracks such as Jakeamya show off a heartfelt sentiment that is severely lacking in today's angst-y musical world, and with a sonic diversity that rumbles from power odes to head-bobbing grooves to harmonica showpieces, the album is chock-full of quality material. Granted, Sound Proof isn’t for everyone — it’s music is far too relaxed for that, but while no barriers are broken, none are left unexplored. |
JASON ENERGIES
$12.99
AVAILABLE ON CDS(SOUNDPROOF-RECORDS)
Jason
Energies is
a calm trip into the introspective landscapes and creations of Jason
White. A ten song CD that captivates you by it's purity of sound and
craft. This roots CD with a tinge of classical guitar and folk vocals
permeates through the soul of song writing. Though some say the cd is
a throw back to the sixties with tonal qualities like that of DONAVAN
and CAT STEVENS we can all agree that the message of peace and love
runs parallel to Jason Energies. ALL SONGS WRITTEN AND PERFORMED BY JASON WHITE |
