Smart, Cynical and Heartbreaking.......2006-02-17

Driving North is a really incredible album. Chris's poignant lyrics and intricate guitar make this cd really stand out. Every single track is exceptional. If you are going to by one new folk album this year, I recommend Driving North.

Utterly Amazing.......2005-10-05

I have seen Chris perform twice, everytime she plays she captivates her audience and wills a sense of calm. Her voice alone is enough to buy the cd, but the passion that lies under the surface is astounding, evoking images of torn lovers reminiscing about times past, silos full of hay and passionate love. Her music moves the soul.

Stupendous Songwriting and Stunning Voice.......2005-07-09

If you're a fan of singer/songwriters along the lines of Patty Griffin, Cheryl Wheeler, Lucinda Williams and Elyza Gilkyson, then there's a fairly good chance that you will rejoice in the music of Chris Pureka. This New England-based folkie combines lyrical songwriting ability with an emotionally expressive (and thoroughly husky) voice, drawing you in with her simple homespun songs about heartache, happiness and the change of the seasons. Drenching the songs in the imagery of her surroundings, Pureka creates a soundtrack for East Coast travels, evoking some to compare "Driving North" to Bruce Springsteen's early '80s masterpiece "Nebraska." On gorgeous ballads like "Unwelcome" and "3 a.m.," she nails matters of the heart, while on driving, insistent tunes like the haunting "Silo Song" and "Reprieve," she does the same with a ferocity that will instantly capture your attention. Listen to any of those tunes (not to mention "Burning Bridges" or the urgently soulful "Porch Songs") and try not to instantly fall in love with Pureka's music. In fact, I dare you.

This album is beautiful. Pureka's melodies invoke wonder and awe at how someone as young as she is can be so talented and able to express emotion in such a raw, powerful way. Her voice is an amazing instrument.

Product Description

"MALICE" is a collection of previously unreleased alternative pop songs that can hang with the best of them! A unique and original sound that blends keyboards with real drums and percussion. These boys can write some hooks too! The stand out single "Deity" is a moody backbeat classic- get ready new wave and goth clubs- screaming for emily is back!

SFE mets Dan of Astrovamps.......2006-02-18

The cover art for this ablum Philip looks like my Ex best fiend Daren while the profile shot of Philip looks like Sam Roesenthal from projekt records. Its canny that his voice sounds like Dan Ian from Astrovamps. Love the song She's Risen. This band has the makings of a great goth band. PLEASE LISTEN, BUY and Support this band.

Incredibly suprised and delighted.......2005-07-06

Not knowing what to expect from this band, I popped their new cd, Malice, into the player. The sounds that came forth were comfortably edgey and transcendal. Very few artists in the past two decades can make me want to hear their entire album again after the first go-through but SFE has been in heavy nonstop rotation on my player. Their deep sound, and swirling melodic beats makes for an excellent atmospheric choice in music. Especially if you like dancing to intelligent accompaniment...these guys are gooooood!

It would be great if there were sound clips on this Amazon page so you can get a taste of SFE. But, until then, go to their site screamingforemily . c o m and watch their promo video... NICE!

Album Description

1958's South Seas Adventure was the fifth & last in a series of full-length documentaries designed especially for the 3-camera / 3-projector Cinerama technology. The Cinerama Adventure was a new type of film that traded in big-name stars & plot in an attempt to give the audience a virtual reality-type experience, in this case, a trip in the South Seas. Although the Cinerama films have since become cult classics, the original soundtrack for the film was just one item in composer Alex North's hefty repertoire, which included the soundtracks to such classic films as Spartacus (1960), Cleopatra (1963), A Streetcar Named Desire (1951), The Bad Seed (1956) & Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? (1966). 18 tracks packaged in digipak format. Original artwork. Dagored. 2003.
