A Little Space is essentially two guys, Alan Gruskoff, aka "Big Al," who with a few exceptions writes and performs literally everything on A LITTLE SPACE; and Terrell Moran, who provides vocals on nine of the fourteen tracks on this release. And therein lies the split personality of this disc....

Innovative, intuitive, intelligent… just a few of the earliest thoughts that crawl into your head after a once over of their new self-titled night flight into the expanse of exploration. AI's foundation is one of life itself and the self-discovery within evolution on an instrumental odyssey that touches upon everything...

I absolutely love this DVD and have watched it several times compared to once of pretty much all the others. This is the London performance of the "Brutal Planet" tour in February of 2000. When contrasted to "Welcome To My Nightmare" it's obviously a grown up version of the dude...

Disc one is pretty much what you would expect from the story of a band. There are live cuts from concerts over the years, along with a narration by Alice Cooper and the original band members before he went solo. Between songs (many of them not the full song) the...

This is an original recording of the actual "Welcome To My Nightmare" live show, and it's really something when you consider the performance was filmed in 1975. We've become so sophisticated and spoiled by all our years of MTV, you really have to appreciate what Alice Cooper was doing that...

At the time of their arrival over a decade ago, Rock was dealing with its off and on bout with the flu, successfully distancing itself from eager youth looking for a new label to remedy discontent from simplicity and stage presence.  So The Black Crowes, all the more remarkable in...

Cheb Nasro is a proponent of Rai music, the northern Africa sound that fuses western rhythms with Far Eastern beats. DEPARTURES is his first release to actually see official world-wide distribution. Though he is a resident of the United States, he has been largely unknown here, notwithstanding the acquaintance of...

The expectations for Christina Aguilera’s sophomore release,  Stripped have been pretty high. Abandoning the Teen-Pop saccharine of her 1999 debut and trying to distance herself from the pack of blond ambitious youthful chanteuse’s, Aguilera has taken a big chance (a rarity in Pop circles) and has conveyed an assorted bag of...

Having spent most of his career shakin' a contortionist's wobbly leg and scratchin' out sizable hooks with the English Beat and Fine Young Cannibals, guitarist Andy Cox finally steps (teeters?) out of the shadows as the arranger/musical head of Britpop duo Cribabi.  Often marveled for his imaginative reconstructions of island...
