Pitchfork Media recently claimed that the American Analog Set had split up, possibly in an attempt to ruin the careers of these young bold musicians, or possibly because they make mistakes - who knows. What I do know is that they are alive, together, on tour and releasing quality music. Check out the website www.amanset.com for tour dates and for infomation on where to buy their stunning 2003 album "Promise of Love". also on the website are a couple of exclusive mp3's. Don't say we're not good to you.
Kraak en Smaak
Oscar de Jong, Mark Kneppers and Wim Plug are Kraak & Smaak, a Dutch trio championing the sound of funked-up breaks whilst winning acclaim from the likes of Annie Nightingale, Ali B, Lottie, Chris Coco and Laurent Garnier.
Studying at the Music Conservatory in Rotterdam, Oscar cites jazz, hip-hop, funk, breakbeat and all experimental music as his main inspirations. The second member of Kraak & Smaak, Wim Plug has traversed the length and breadth of Holland and found himself up on the decks next to Portishead's unofficial crate-digger Andy Smith, Depth Charge's Saul Kane and drum 'n' bass DJ Aphrodite amongst many others.
Over in Holland Mark is a bit of an all-round entertainer, "It's quite odd to think but I'm also in one of the biggest pop bands in Holland," he explains. "It's a 70s retro-act called Wipneus & Pim, we do a lot of festival stuff and we've got our own radio show but I keep it totally separate from what I do with Kraak & Smaak, although we did drop a drum 'n' bass remix of one of our chart hits recently, that was quite funny."
"The album (Boogie Angst) fits everywhere," says Wim. "We like to think of it as dance music to listen to."

DangerDoom
A awe-inspiring collaboration of Hip Hop's MF Doom and Danger Mouse. Inspired by the late night cartoon network animation, ADULT SWIM. We have some of the oddest rhyming in a long time, Vats of Urine, anyone? I suppose that this kind of thing is all water off underground hiphoppers back but it's a breath of fresh air for the rest of us. www.dangerdoom.com
THE IDLE RACE
The Idle Race was one of the top 1960s acts never to have a hit although Jeff Lynne later made up for this with a stint in The Move before forming The Electric Light Orchestra with Roy Wood and Bev Bevan in the 1970s.
The original guitarist was Johnny Mann who had been in Carl Wayne and the Vikings. The Idle Race came out of Mike Sheridan & the Nightriders, a Birmingham group that included future Move, ELO and Wizzard frontman Roy Wood. Pritchard, Masters and Spencer were joined by Jeff Lynne. Lynne wrote most of the band’s material and produced the second album. The Idle Race released two poorly-selling LPs, The Birthday Party and The Idle Race. There was also a series of seemingly commercial singles but these all failed to chart.

Fronted and basically run by Phil Evrun of D+ and Old Time Relijun. The microphones have released a series of four concept albums based on the four greeek elephants, i mean elements. Sounds like it should be a load of tosh but is in fact, beautiful, gripping and incredibly addictive. I haven't had it off my iPod since i discovered this band. While this was only yesterday, I'm sure they'll be a fixture on the pod for a while yet.

The weed, whites and wine of todays Musical Love in:
Control Z
Control Z are a Nu-Skool Breakz Production duo fresh outa London. Tom Petais and Nicky D'Silva aka Dash and Inch met through the Community Music Project. The first single was snapped up DJ mutiny's Funkatech Records and very quickly "Disko and Pain" went to number one in the mixmag charts. They have released 11 12"s this week and we are expected great things from them. Especially at this years Breakspoll, - come on!!!!
THE SOFT MACHINE
The Soft Machine were a pioneering British psychedelic, progressive rock and jazz band from Canterbury, Kent, England, named after the book The Soft Machine by William S. Burroughs. They were one of the central bands in the Canterbury scene.
When the band became Soft Machine, its initial lineup featured Kevin Ayers (bass), Robert Wyatt (drums, vocals), Daevid Allen (guitar) and Mike Ratledge (keyboards). Allen left before their first album, and Ayers was replaced by Hugh Hopper by the time of the second. Allen later formed Gong.
The best-known lineup, containing Wyatt, Ratledge, Hopper, and saxophonist Elton Dean, produced the critically-acclaimed album Third (note: recorded at the same time as Miles Davis's 'Bitches Brew') and its follow-up Fourth. At that time Soft Machine was playing a form of jazz rock/fusion jazz influenced by John Coltrane and other American post-bop jazzmen and has some similarities to the early work of Weather Report. However, Machine's jazz comes directly from the avant jazz and free jazz movements that had developed amongst young British jazz musicians in the mid to late 60's. This is reflected in the similarities to the music of (Ian Carr's) Nucleus, as well as personnel overlaps. Wyatt, disagreeing with a direction that left no room for his vocal experiments, left the band in 1971 to form Matching Mole (a French pun on the name Soft Machine), the creation of proably the first RIO album 'End OF An Ear', then with the unfortunate accident that broke his back, a notable solo career. Later line-up changes left Ratledge the only original member of the band, and by 1976 he was gone too (composer of some very successful music for ad jingles, including those for BA). Karl Jenkins (keyboards and woodwinds), who had joined in 1972, became the band's leader and led it until its disbanding in 1984; guitarist Allan Holdsworth was a member during this period. (Today, Karl Jenkins is better known for cross-over classical projects such as Adiemus.) Ric Sanders (later a member of Fairport Convention) was on "Alive and Well" (1978).
