Heifervescent: Five Albums worth of Wonderful Pop/Rock

There's something absolutely hypnotic about U.K. Singer/Songwriter Andy Doran's project "Heifervescent."  I recently stumbled across Jamendo.com while listening to music on another site, TheSixtyOne.com.  Since then I've been like a kid in a candy store, listening to the many great offerings on Jamendo.  For those not in the know, Jamendo.com is a site that represents artists who are willing to, under restrictions of one of three Creative Commons licenses, offer their music for free download.  That doesn't mean that these artists don't deserve money and credit for what they do.  "Heifervescent" is a great example of that.  Don't believe me?  Take a listen to the tracks here.

At the time of this writing, there are 45,208 offerings available in every conceivable genre; But I digress.

"Heifervescent" is a true collage of sounds and styles.  There is music with harder edges and more mellow tones, but it all fits together in a very unique and wonderful sound scape.  Please take a listen.  I'll try to update this review with some specifics as time allows.
