M.I.A.的背景特殊，出生于英国，父亲是革命组织创办人，却也因此她流亡于斯里兰卡成为难民。也许是这般的际遇，让M.I.A.的作品有了深度的世界观，在2004年初试啼声的Mixtape作品《Piracy Funds Terrorism》便引起乐坛一阵骚动，来年加入XL厂牌的正式专辑《Arular》，迅速夺下全美电子榜季军／热门潜力榜Top15／独立榜Top16！更吸引嘻哈教母蜜希艾莉特、旷课乐小公主席亚拉、当红制作大佬Timbaland等，热情邀约M.I.A.在其畅销作品中轧上一角！ 此回M.I.A.再度与制作人Swith与Diplo合作全新大碟《Kala》，三个人在世界各角落找寻新概念与灵感；她唱出了第三世界人民心中急切的自由渴望，奋力一搏争取向往事物的生活态度。首波主打〈Boyz〉融入印度手鼓、Soca、嘻哈与舞曲节拍音源，荣登目前最夯的舞池大热曲！〈20 Dollar〉旋律部份取样英伦大团New Order畅销曲〈Blue Monday〉，歌词部份则混入美国另类乐团The Pixies经典〈Where Is My Mind?〉；巧妙混搭庞克团The Clash和饶舌团体Wreckx-N-Effect的〈Paper Planes〉呈现第三世界生活态度；末曲〈Come Around〉则是和「嘻哈排行冠军制造机」Timbaland合力演出！Ragga狂野节奏（Dancehall + Hip Hop）＋印度宝莱坞异国情调＋前卫新潮街头风格…「这是一张令人觉醒的专辑」M.I.A.如是说。M.I.A.街头酷妹的独特形象、令人惊喜连连的音乐态度…你还在等什么？快点踏上M.I.A.的另类街头，一起加入她的Kala卡拉帮吧！

Moby可以说是电子音乐界的异类，家庭环境是造就他特立独行的最大因素，父母亲皆是磕药的摇滚激进份子，
早在幼年时期，父亲就因磕药车祸身亡，孤独与不快乐似乎已成为童年挥之不去的阴影，从吃素、不抽烟，磕

品专辑中，从最新专辑「PLAY」单曲＜Why Does My Heart Feel so Bad？＞ 的MTV中，Little Idiot Moby
(Moby卡通人物化身)身处在已被战争、人类破坏殆尽的地球上，四处可见枯死的树木、荒凉的沙漠及被大海淹
没的陆地，孤单的行走而无人理会，始终在他身边的只有一只毫不起眼的小狗，结尾部份在梯子顶端观看月亮
，更透露出强烈的落寞感，似乎对他来说孤独已成为日常生活的一部份，甚至全部。
如果说Moby是电子音乐界的鬼才或顽童，我想是没有人会反对的。不按常理、无法捉摸的音乐型式始终是世人
对其作品的见地，从单曲＜Thousand＞得到金氏世界记录「史上最快的歌曲」就可得到映证。对他的作品，要
以单一种音乐型式呈现是较为少见的，总是尝试性的融合各种不同类型的音乐型式，又能将旋律诠释的如此完
美，就拿这次的新专辑「PLAY」来说，取样自1925年史学家Alan Lomax的田野录音作、黑人灵歌与蓝调福音，
搭配着Hip-Hop的节奏和凄美的弦乐与钢琴旋律，再加上Moby透过效果器的人声献唱与轻迷浪漫的民谣吉他，总
是很怀疑他的构想来源是如此的精湛及诡异，毕竟天才仍旧是少数的。

In conjunction with the release of Ken Burns' ten-part, 19-hour epic PBS documentary Jazz, Columbia issued 22 single-disc compilations devoted to jazz's most significant artists, as well as a five-disc historical summary. Since the individual compilations attempt to present balanced overviews of each artist's career, tracks from multiple labels have thankfully been licensed where appropriate. Accordingly, Thelonious Monk's volume draws from his early piano trio recordings with Blue Note and his expanded ensembles and solo explorations for Riverside and Columbia. Monk frequently re-recorded many of his now-standard compositions in different formats, so it's difficult to choose definitive versions; the compilers have wisely opted to present the full spectrum of arrangement approaches Monk employed over the course of his career. Not quite all of Monk's best-known pieces are here, but … » Read more

Pressed on 180gram vinyl at RTI. Mastered from the original analog master tapes by Kevin Grey at Acoustech Mastering. Features all original packaging. Highlights include 'Caravan', 'Into The Mystic' and 'Moondance'. Van Morrison's 1970's follow up album to Astral Weeks titled Moondance was every bit as brilliant; buoyant and optimistic where Astral Weeks had been dark and anguished it cracked the Top 40 and generated classic hits.

Now in 2006, The NEW YORK DOLLS return with the follow-up to 1974's Too Much Too Soon that proves that the band hasn’t lost a step and that they are ready to show the world what they've been missing. The new studio album "One Day It Will Please Us To Remember Even This" captures the spirit of a band that had disappeared long before rock n roll became about big business, and presents the essence of fun, revelatory Rock N Roll in its purest form.

With 63 previously unreleased tracks, this newly remastered version of Prince’s groundbreaking 1987 album is a trove of lost songs and dramatic lore, a jaw-dropping look into one of the most creatively fertile times in his career.
