Daft Punk-Seasick Steve-Sigur Ros-Wu Tang Clan
FEATURED IN THIS ISSUE...
Daft Punk
Rumours, rumours and yet more rumours …
There are very few dance acts that have managed to perpetuate as many myths than these two reclusive Frenchmen. Gossip around their shroud pervades more often than not.
Sigur Ros
Return with their astounding film 'Heima'
Iceland, that far-flung outpost of the Atlantic, has always had a disproportionately high level of cultural output.
Burial
First exposure to Burial can be disorientating
True or false: the most exciting thing to emerge from London’s music scene in recent years is a sweaty little smack-oik who mistakes his own gauche laziness for Dickensian wit. No conferring please…
Wu Tang Clan
Return Mob Handed
You don’t have to be Magic E to know that words have power. Take the proper noun Wu-Tang Clan.
Andrew Weatherall
Private Passions
Think Andy Weatherall and a rich array of noises are likely to enter your brain. Reshaped Madchester classics, perhaps, modern mutant techno, probably, or even the uptempo “oompty oompty business” he makes a living playing out these days.
Boy Kill Boy
Readying themselves for a Dj slot
The Leytonstone rockers are feeling pretty content with themselves – album number two is in the bag, and they’re still slightly tanned from spending two months recording it over in the Hollywood hills.
Steve Cropper
The legendary Booker T & the MGs guitarist
A Southern gent with a career many musicians would kill for, straight out of high school and onto the floor of Stax Records’ McLemore Street studios, working with a blush-inducing amount of Sixties soul talent while writing a fair proportion of their hits.
Album Spotlight
Led Zeppelin - Physical Graffiti
"What we talk about is creating something as notable as Beethoven's Fifth."Robert Plant on Physical Graffiti.
Personality Clash
King Creosote Vs Gruff Rhys
Gruff Rhys and Kenny Anderson (AKA King Creosote) have been seen sheltering beneath many a dripping tarpaulin throughout many of this year’s soggy festivals. With both the most recent Super Furry Animals and King Creosote albums flying off the shelves, the festival circuit was the perfect plugging ground before autumn tours. And while surrounded by the same falafel munching audiences, they have bonded, becoming fans of each other’s music, but also good friends.
