Terra Naomi



Terra Naomi - Not Sorry
This is a fabulous song and Terra has a very strong and flexible voice.The chorus got itself well embeded in my brain and just wouldn't let go. The whole album is great and well worth getting hold of.

Ricki Lee Jones



Last Chance Texaco

Hey All
I have always loved this song by Ricki Lee Jones and I just found this vid on you tube.

It's a bit grainy but it's fantastic how RLJ and the band really make you feel as though you are looking out on a rain soaked highway late at night listening to the traffic pass.A wonderful use of sound.
The album version is better but this is a classic.

What can I say about Jon Crosby except that in my opinion he is one of the best composers I have ever heard. When I first experienced the self titled VAST album I was blown away with his use of eastern and monastical samples. When you listen on a good system there is so much activity in the high and very low freq ranges that you would completely miss normally it keeps you coming back for more.
I have put the video clip "Touched" below as a good example but I would recommend that you check out his track "pretty when you cry" on youtube. I didn't put it here as the official vid is rather disturbing but brilliant all the same.

If I am ever able to produce material like this guy I will be happy.

RAMMSTEIN



Here is a strange one for you. I went to see Rammstein in Nottingham two years ago and was blown away with their blend of German industrial rock.Fantastic guitar riffs that drag you in kicking screaming and laughing all the way.I dont speak any German at all and after reading a few translations it probably for the best...... but I still enjoy this band..... Oh I want to be a little miner LOL..... Twisted? Me? No!
