Milwaukee has been graced with a load of amazing musicians in years past. Now, some of the area's most well known musicians have gathered to create a tastefully eclectic and talented album. The group known as MVM is composed of Dr. Martin Jack Rosenblum, a seasoned pro and a professor at University Wisconsin-Milwaukee; Victor DeLorenzo, those of you might know him from a little band called the Violent Femmes; and Malachi DeLorenzo, Victor's son and a talented guitarist.

"Navigator" is quite the mind boggling album. It's very all encompassing when it comes to the musical styles found within it. The opening track "For Me" is a short mellow stringed composition that leads into a very mod blues rock tune called "And His Middle Name was Bill." The chorus makes the song sound much more humorous than it really is. It has an almost a parody-like feel. Every single song on this album has a completely different mood. It's definitely refreshing to find that someone can still compose an album where every single song doesn't sounds the same.

Much of the last half of the album really is reminiscent of 60's beat poetry. "400" is definitely far different than the rest of the album. It has this almost compressed back beat and a train-sounding harmonica with spoken word weaved throughout. "Navigation" is probably the most up beat song on the album, but instead of hearing the intro and expecting pop rock, you're surprised by simple yet complex poetry. "Navigator" is really a roller coaster of music, it keeps you on your toes and listening for the depth of the music. For the music listener that likes ear candy, this album will definitely give you a kick in the pants! To find out more about "Navigator" and the musicians involved, check out www.holyranger.com
