Blues
. . ." The song was originally a ballad, but so the legend goes, he and his backing band were so fucked up on wine that they recorded the guttural, pounding, primal version of the track which became (in)famous. Screaming Jay was reportedly so wasted that he couldn’t remember the session at all, and had to relearn the track by listening to the playback the next day." ( Tim O'Neil, from 3 AM magazine )

Catherine MacLellan - "Something Gold"
Folk/Acoustic/Indie
With her expressive guitar playing, beautiful melodies, and evocative vocals, Catherine MacLellan pulls the listener into her world of song. Described as having a “quietly magnetic” stage presence, Catherine’s voice stretches out and hovers in a room with a projection that is deceptively low-key, but ends up fisted in the hearts of her audience.
Catherine was born in southern Ontario, but from a young age has lived on Prince Edward Island. Coming from a musical family (famed singer/songwriter Gene MacLellan was her father) there was never any doubt in Catherine’s mind about her life’s work. . . . ( Last FM ).

Pepe Martínez-Choro brasileño
Flamenco Guitar Solo :
Pepe Martínez (1923-1984) was a Spanish flamenco guitarist born into a musical family, in the Seville quarter of Macarena. His mother, Isabel, was famous for her singing of religiously inspired Saetas, a vocal style which has since been incorporated into the flamenco palo.
Pepe was a virtuoso exponent of 'Flamenco Lirico', a style of playing which emphasises the melodic as well as rhythmic elements of flamenco. His musical style reflected his warm personality. His playing, even more than many other flamenco guitarists of the time, was strongly influenced by that of his mentor, Ramón Montoya.
Pepe initially excelled in accompanying the Cante and Baile before developing a solo concert career. As an accompanist he played with such artists as Pepe Marchena, Niña de los Peines, Pepe Pinto, Juanito Valderrama, Niña de la Puebla, Niña de Antequera, Pepe Aznalcollar, Pepe Guillena, Niño de la Huerta amongst others. . . .

Chris Clark
Electronica / AlternativeMixing computer-generated crunches, pops, and clicks with organic synthesizer tones and heavily processed sounds, U.K. native Chris Clark creates tense electronica that struggles between a sense of natural wonder and exuberance and dark, foreboding undercurrents. Clark, who lived in Bristol and Brighton before settling in Birmingham, debuted on Warp with the wintry Clarence Park, released in May of 2001. Recorded while he was still at university, it was a promising first record, full of cold, terse synths and big beats. The Ceramics Is the Bomb EP followed in May of 2003, but it was on Empty the Bones of You where Clark proved to be one of the most original laptop musicians working. With fully tweaked sounds and disorienting textures overlapping with lulling synths, Clark constructed a buzzing and organic world of sound. Two more full-lengths for Warp — Body Riddle (2006) and Turning Dragon (2008) — followed, both of which were preceded by EPs.

Lila Downs - Yucu Ninu, Mixtec Indian song
Mexican Folk / Mixtec Indian traditional song
Daughter of a Mixtec [mes-TEK] Indian woman and Anglo-American father, Downs was born near the mountains of Oaxaca [wa-HA-ka], she studied music and anthropology at the University of Minnesota and at the University of the Arts in Oaxaca. But it was only through music that Downs reconciled her heritage. "It took a long time to decide that I wanted to sing," she says. "Something needed to motivate me." That motivation was the songs and stories of her ancestors, the Oaxacan people. Downs explores the great Mexican ballads, the boleros and rancheras and sets the ancient codices of the Mixtecs and Zapotecs [za-po-TEK] to music.

Paititi - Pike
Japanese Alternative / Jam Band / Lounge
A twin-ukulele-featured band led by actress Yoriko Doguchi, who is well known for her works with film directors like Kiyoshi Kurosawa and Juzo Itami.
While they are influenced by early jazz giants like Django Rheinhardt and jug bands like the Even Dozen Jug Bands, their music is a highly-sophisticated kind of mixture of those with Okinawan traditional folk songs, psychedelic droned soundscapes and blues. Very freewheeling and playful.

Viking Moses - Werewolves in the City
Rock/Country/Soul : Alternative American musician
The VIKING MOSES was initiated by Southern Missourian Brendon Massei in 2003. The band has a dynamic, rotating cast of both established and obscure musicians worldwide, and is currently based in Northern Appalachia (USA).
More strait forward rock/soul than weird/folk as most of their contemporaries seem to be marketed, Viking Moses’ recordings are very accessible in convention, though live shows normally tend to have an unconventional approach, being hosted in unorthodox venues, often having assembled bands night-of, using members of support bands or strangers in the audience. Both aspects are delivered with utmost soul, passion, and humility, and always offer fans and strangers an experience which is unique and often contrary to expectation. . . .

Delia Derbyshire: Credit for " Dr Who" sound.
. . . "A hidden hoard of recordings made by the electronic music pioneer behind the Doctor Who theme has been revealed - including a dance track 20 years ahead of its time.
Delia Derbyshire was working in the BBC's Radiophonic Workshop in 1963 when she was given the score for a theme tune to a new science fiction series.
She turned those dots on a page into the swirling, shimmering Doctor Who title music - although it is the score's author, Ron Grainer, who is credited as the composer.
Now David Butler, of Manchester University's School of Arts, Histories and Cultures has revealed for the first time the existence of 267 tapes found in Ms Derbyshire's attic when she died in 2001." . . . . ( BBC News )

Aurora : Agustí Fernández
Jazz :
Think Agustí Fernandez meets Barry Guy and you're probably thinking of the kind of deluge of molten lava that characterised the Spanish pianist's volcanic contribution to Guy's Oort-Entropy back in 2005, or his spectacular scrap with Mats Gustafsson on Critical Mass. Add wildcard dynamo percussionist Ramón López to the mix and you've got all the makings of a Fire Music trio of epic proportions, right?
Recorded at Jazzclub Moods, Zurich, March 16, 2007. ( posted by dingoandfox )
