British Alt-Rockers Release Follow Up to Black Holes and Revelations
On The Resistance, their fifth studio album, Muse have created a difficult collection of songs which may take casual listeners time to digest.

Interview with Mamane Barka- the Last Master of the Biram

Standing firm against the disappearance of the ancient African instrument the Biram, is the musician Mamane Barka- the last master of the Biram.
There is an urgency in Barka’s voice as he strives to fulfill his ambition to keep the Biram going, amidst ever changing musical tastes and the nonchalance of the political elite in his native Niger.

Marley, His Music and it’s Relevance Today

I had made up my mind a long time ago that I wasn’t going to work this year.” Read the rest of this entry »

They listened to an influential radio DJ, The Electrifying Mojo, who played European imports alongside Prince and the B-52’s. In 1981 Atkins and Richard Davies, aka 3070, started releasing records as Cybotron. Techno was born.
