The Memory Band - By The Time It Gets Dark

In a decade which has seen a wide ranging and fruitful revival of interest in folk music, Stephen Cracknell's The Memory Band has established itself in that fine English tradition of slightly schizophrenic projects pointing in several directions at once which manage to find their place in the ever exciting independent music scene, popping up at several influential moments and though the marvels of technology finding audiences all around the World.

From the outset The Memory Band has embraced change and for its third album, Oh My Days, the ever-fluid line-up of The Memory Band has shifted once more, with a fresh emphasis on rhythm courtesy of the powerhouse team of bassist Jon Thorne from Lamb and drummer Tom Page of Rocketnumbernine, as well as an all-new vocal frontline featuring Jess Roberts, Jenny McCormick, Hannah Caughlin and Liam Bailey. Sam Carter, winner of this year's Horizon award at the Radio 2 Folk Awards, plays and sings on a number of songs, while there are contributions from names new and old; Nancy Wallace, Dot Allison, Sam Genders on vocals, guitarists John Smith and Pete Greenwood, bassist Jonny Bridgwood, string players Quinta, Rob Spriggs, Jennymay Logan and Laura Moody, Sarah Scutt on accordion and recorder, and Serafina Steer on harp. Oh My Days is a warmly-textured, delicately-balanced blend of the best elements from its predecessors.

Roy Ayers - Everybody Loves the Sunshine (Super Rare Version)

My interpretation of the beautiful song by Phosphorescent. 

Lyrics:

mama there's wolves in the house
mama they won't let me out
mama they're mating at night
mama they wont make nice

they're pacing and glowing bright
their faces all snowy and white
bury their paws in the stone
make for my heart as their home

they tumble and fight
and they're beautiful
on the hilltops at night
they are beautiful

blazing with light
is the whitest and the tallest and the biggest one
she's muscled and fine
when she runs

they're tearing up holes in the house
they're tearing their claws in the ground
they're staring with blood in their mouths
mama they won't let me out

they tumble and fight
and they're beautiful
on the hilltops at night
they are beautiful

blazing with light
is the whitest and the tallest and the biggest one
all muscled and fine
when she runs

mama there's wolves in the house
mama i tried to put them out
and mama i know you're too wise
to wait till those wolves make nice	

Wolves (Phosphorescent Cover) feat. Gemma Alexander

Album: Sunny, Ten to Eleven K
Track: 08
Title: My name is Carnival (FabzMK Mix)

The original is already pretty awesome, but my own version is actually different!
I have not yet mastered it and probably never will.

Maybe this song could be improved upon by adding more intricate drum variations - at times, i find the rythm section a bit too repetitive. Tell me what you think!

Sound In Silence is very pleased to welcome <b>J.R Alexander</b> (aka Message To Bears) with his new <b>Moments EP</b>.

Being already well known under the moniker of Message To Bears, the multi-instrumentalist Jerome Alexander has released so far two albums, one EP and one split album, all of them on the recently closed Dead Pilot Records.

This time he releases his new EP under a different alias, choosing for the first time to use his real name as the new tracks take a more electronic direction.
Moments EP is slightly less ambient and more beat based than his previous releases, while some of its tracks could have easily been released under the name of Message To Bears.

On Moments EP, J.R Alexander demonstrates a progression in his discography, creating five excellent tracks of beautiful soundscapes, using layers of electronics, warm synths, ethereal samples, gorgeous acoustic guitars, glockenspiel, piano and viola.
The finishing touch on the great sound of Moments EP was applied by the carefully done mastering of George Mastrokostas (aka Absent Without Leave).

This is a limited edition of 300 handmade and hand-numbered collectible copies, packaged in a lovely hand-stamped recycled cardboard envelope with the front cover image printed on a polaroid style photo paper and an insert printed on nice fabric paper.

Available from www.messagetobears.com

Grant Green is one of my favorite guitarists. I've listened to a lot of Grant Green but somehow I never heard the music that he did for the movie The Final Comedown. Blue Note released this soundtrack in 1972. This song, "Luanna's Theme" has been sampled before by Digable Planets on their song "Black Ego", but I flipped it a little differently.
