About Chain Reaction
Detroit area rockers Chain Reaction started their mix of progressive rock and power pop in the late 80's, when founding members Eric Harabadian and Bob Drozdzewski met at a Hudson's department store. The two began playing live when they could, eventually earning enough money to release their debut, Out of the Ruins, in 1991. Getting their feet under them with that album, they earned a much larger audience through live shows and promotion and soon became one of the Motor City's hidden secrets. Offering several more releases through the decade, the band changed bassists and drummers several times throughout their career before landing with Andrea Marsack and Sam Bonanni, a talented duo that took over the respective roles towards the end of the 90's. ~ Bradley Torreano, All Music Guide

Love Lockdown KanYe West |
| KanYe West keeps on challenging the limits of hip-hop: if "Graduation" was his pop album, the first single from "808s and Heartaches" sees the star going all soulful and expanding the most spiritual side of former highlights such as "Jesus Walk" or "Can't Tell me Nothing". Arguably the first interactive recording ever made, thanks to the KanYe's official blog; when the original mix was posted, many fans reacted sending an avalanche of negative feedback; maybe it was the use of popular pitch-altering software autotune, abused in recent times by everyone from Cher to T-Pain, that led the audience to revolt and ended up with the notorious perfectionist re-recording the vocals and adding some taiko drums to highlight its minimal beat, imitating a heart pounding; posting it again afterwards for general approval. Not happy with that, he later went the Radiohead way, making six different stems (vocals, drums, piano, etc.) available for fans to remix the song themselves. "Love Lockdown" can be seen as West upgrading himself from rapper to proper soul singer and is one of his more inspired and powerful moments to date. A mind-blowing closing performance at this year's VMAs ignited a chart frenzy all over the world and it looks set to last for a few months. | |
