2008 Album Releases I Love
I get shivers every time I listen to one of these. I tear up to another just because of my own subliminal classical conditioning. One makes me want to lie on a couch and dream about ghosts.

Saccharine. Really, really sweet. Like thaumatin sweet, comprised of Jon and Psalm Sebastian. Off of Viper Bite Records comes The Color Wheels (MySpace). Anyhow, something I like lately. "Green Means Go" is my favorite. Stream their entire self-titled album over at:
