For the few of you who don't know these great musicians from Miami, FL, I can say that Cynic are a progressive rock band, incorporating experimental music, ambient, alternative rock, metal and jazz fusion. Formed by guitarist (and now singer) Paul Masvidal and drummer Sean Reinert, they emerged from the healthy (at the time) floridian death metal scene of the late 80's-early 90's with a noteworthy debut record called "Focus" (that also featured the great bass player Sean Malone). Instead of choosing the brutal and hard-hitting approach to metal like most of their contemporaries, "Focus" took an experimental approach to music, resulting in a critically praised "jazz metal" (as they called it at the time) album.   Cynic disbanded during the fall of 1994 while working on a second studio album, to reform in 2006 and record a second full-lenght  ("Traced In Air", 2008) and an EP ("Re-Traced", 2009, composed of four re-interpretations of songs from "Traced In Air" and one new song).

"Heartbeat" is the title of the new single by american rock band from Denver, Colorado The Fray. The song has been released a few days ago, and you can stream it at the band's website now. I have to say that this is the kind of song that I would have welcomed on the new Coldplay album. But later of this.

The Fray's new album, to be released on February, 7th 2012, is named "Scars And Stories", after a B-side that did not make it onto the new record. For their third studio album, The Fray chose to change producer, switching from the Aaron Johnson/Mike Flynn duo to the superstar Brendan O'Brien.

During a recent interview, the band revealed that they used part of the album's budget to travel and see the world before recording "Scars And Stories". For instance, "Heartbeat" was inspired by a trip to Rwanda, and the tracks "Munich" and "Rainy Zurich" were inspired by their journey to those european locations.
