Welcome to the EvO:R Independent CD Reviews Section.
I would like to take a few minutes to introduce ourselves to everyone. The EvO:R review section features reviews from various independent musicians that submit material for our consideration.

I wanted to let you know a little about our review teams collective thoughts on music. It's important to let the people we review know what we think of their music and how we listened to their creations.

We hold nothing back! The team has been instructed to be honest and respectful of all CD's reviewed.

‘Ex-member of Chuck D of Public Enemy fame project band the Impossebulls, Khalfani (aka Pvt Militant) is back with a new EP that is sure to earn him respect, even amongst his peers.’ – from artist page at CDBaby.com-

As with most Rap (not all), Khalfani is self righteous and vulgar. It doesn’t really matter what his message is as he uses all the standard trash talk that appears in so much of this type of music.

I’ll refer to it as ‘music’ even though any kid with a sense of rhythm, a computer and a few machines can create a record like this. I’m sorry, but no one that creates this garbage will ever have my respect. I know a few rappers that don’t use the F word, N word, Bitch and Shit and they will gain my respect much quicker than Khalfani.

I am sure that I will receive some nasty emails and possibly even a few threats for being true to myself here but as I tell most artists that I review, ‘this is my opinion.’ It shouldn’t necessarily stop you from doing what you do. But I wish you would.

I kept feeling like there was a good message here somewhere but I failed to find it.

Conclusion:

Surely, there is a better way to get your message out without catering to the dregs of society. Conclusion: Really?!! Need I say more?

Jimmie Caterine ...EvO:R Reviewer.



Jimmy Caterine...EvO:R Reviewer.

About the reviewer- Jimmy Caterine has numerous album credits to his name. He is most noted as founder, guitarist and co-writer for 80’s metal quartet, Sacred Rite (Capitol Records.) He has worked with top name professionals in the industry. This would include Grammy Award winning producer Sonny Limbo (Bertie Higgins) and publishing coordinator Randall Wixen (Fleetwood Mac, Jackson Brown.)

Aside from his original projects he did a 3 month stint playing guitar for the live stage production of Rocky Horror Picture Show in 1987. He was the guitarist for MGM recording artist and power house vocalist, Sami Jo Cole (Tell Me a Lie) in 1995. He has also played with classic rock tribute act Time Machine, on the Las Vegas convention circuit in ’97 and ’98.

Following a car accident in 2001 Jimmy Caterine took a break from performing. He was reluctant to return to the stage due to PTSD. In the years that followed Jimmy took an inward journey to confront his own personal demons. While away he had to come to terms with the many changes in the music industry. During his hiatus he created and released two independent solo CD’s.

In 2007 Jimmy recorded and released a reunion CD with Sacred Rite. Currently Jimmy owns Soulaire Sound which is a mobile recording/live sound reinforcement company in Phoenix, AZ. He performs regularly with his organic jazz sextet, Dream Chemistry.
