Shipwreck Island Studios - Best Of 2006

As another year ends we look back & pay tribute to the material that we found to be the best of the best. This year was completely different then the past few in that we saw Rock Stars become Country Stars, Rock Bands release cover albums at an insane pace, not to mention the countless reissues & remasters. Some have said this year was power packed full of amazing music but to us this year showed the good, the bad & the ugly in the world of music.

Shipwreck Island Studios.com saw a huge increase in visitors as well as mentions in newspapers, radio ads & websites scattered across the internet. We are extremely humbled by this sudden outreach and would like to thank every single artist who has come forward to share their music with us. All of our PR Contacts around the globe who've shared their knowledge/information. And last but certainly not least, all of our readers because without you there would be no drive to better ourselves and continue to share our love for music.
