Welcome to the Red Tropic Music Blog
“If music be the food of the soul then you should eat right”
This is the raison d’etre of Red Tropic. We want this blog to become the source and resource of the serious music fan and collector. This blog is for the music geek who appreciates a wide range of music, whose only prejudice is quality and the importance of good music in art and the way we live.
We’ll give you fresh news, insightful reviews and even thought-provoking commentary on what’s happening in music. We’ll even throw in those crazy lists that everyone laps up. A music blog is nothing though without a healthy community of like-minded enthusiasts so feel free to speak your mind in the comments section. Contribute by recommending any significant artist or album you’ve heard lately — be it a new release or an oldie.
Let Red Tropic be the soundtrack to your soul.
Consider Red Tropic as the platter of goodness on which it is served. We want Red Tropic to be the source and resource of the serious music fan and collector- one who appreciates what each music genre has to offer without prejudice and has a wanton disregard for what is “cool” or “hip”.
