The first two Massive Attack albums (Blue Lines and Protection) are trip-hop classics. Highlights include Unfinished Sympathy, Protection and Karmacoma (sung by Shara Nelson, Tracey Thorne and Tricky respectively). The band’s music became much darker on Mezzanine (1998). Prior to its release, nobody thought of Massive Attack as a rock band. However, there are rock […]
Almost half a decade before Basement Jaxx burst onto the music scene, Moloko was making funky and lively dance music. The debut album (Do You Like My Tight Sweater?) has a party feel throughout.

The Hartnoll brothers have just released a new album. Let’s go back to the beginning. Spurred on by the success of Chime, the brothers began working on more material. An untitled […]
In the Autumn of 2007, I decided to change my name. When I moved to Washington, I decided to use my Indonesian name, the one I was given while living there as an exchange student as my full time identity. It wasn’t that hard of a transition as I had been using “Joko” as my […]
