Flywheel � "Flywheel" � Keavin

Once in a while a CD comes in from out of nowhere for review and just floors me. Flywheel's self-titled debut is one such CD.

Ra � "From One" � Scott Slapp

(technically it came out in late 2002 but I didn't discover it until this year.) What an amazing album that crosses time and genre barriers and just plain gives up the goods! These guys should be superstars if only Universal could get off their asses and promote them. - Scott Slapp

If you are a fan of heavy music with progressive flavors then RA is definitely the band to check out right now! - Keavin
