A Muso's Top 10: Tricky
The ever-rasping Tricky Kid marks his return with a rediscovery of his musical heritage called Knowle West Boy this month (see our review in Records). We recently gave the dark prince of trip-hop a tinkle while he was preparing to seep under the door in gaseous cloud form, to ask which tunes would get him most juiced if he were to find himself in a training montage situation.

A Muso's Top Ten - MGMT
Anyone who's listened to our album is not going to pigeonhole us easily, stylistically, Ben Goldwasser of MGMT warned us recently. This might be an accurate enough statement, but it reeks of a challenge if ever we've heard one.

A Muso's Top 10: Yeasayer
Given the eclecticism of All Hour Cymbals, it was no surprise that Yeasayer gave us a top ten covering five decades, three continents, million-selling mega-hits, out-of-print odd-jobs, and multiple styles and fashions. It's a myriad list that defies obvious logic; just how we like it. Read more »| 06 Jan 2008 -
