Every now and then a record comes along that makes you want to take it into your heart and befriend it. You want to sit down and talk with it, if only you could.  You want to make it as personal to you as it obviously is to the artist who made it. War Machine is one of those albums. It's an album that can take me on a journey by candle light. It can enhance whatever mood I'm in, turning both joy and sadness into tears, or happiness into calm smiles and inner peace.
  There seems to be a fine line these days between artists and mockingbirds. Tamara Kent is an artist.  Her voice is sweet and lovely, but very human. You can feel the person in the music and not just a well trained diva reading words
from a lyric sheet. In an age of genres and labels, this work is a display of pure self. It's unique and personal, obviously emanating from Tamara's own artistic impulses and not from any externally derived goal.

WAR MACHINE the latest full-length album by MINEFIELD revolves around politics of passion, romance, and getting away with pure murder!  Listen to it now thinking about the ones you love (and the ones you'd love to get rid of).

Each song on this CD explores its own mood, both in lyrics and in music, yet the pieces blend together perfectly to create a cohesive album as a whole.  Everything that is extraordinary about the artist's previous short CD, "After the Ball", continues on "War Machine".  I usually play them back to back in order for a maximum addiction fix.

The title "War Machine" may give you an idea of a work thats based in harsch industrial sounds and/or weird sampling etc (i dont know about you but i think i got sick of that whole seemingly ever-repeating genre).  I could describe WM as an album tat is for all senses.  Taking elements from electronic industrial patterns (mainly the drums), Minefield does an excellent job in blending those with ethereal-style vocals and ebullient melodic piano parts.  Tamara's voice is very expressive and gets the listener to feel what is sang.  The music is well recorded and the production is excellent (they know what theyre doing its not your average wannabe-with-a-computer geek).  
This album is very very good and its worth a listen, definately!
