[TRANSMISSION 95] Clocks (Gabriel & Dresden Mix) By Coldplay
Published: 2009-11-12 20:30:49
Coldplay's musical style has been defined as alternative rock, being compared to Jeff Buckley and Oasis. Lead singer/songwriter Chris Martin once labelled the band's music as "limestone rock". The band's music has been called "meditative" and "blue romantic"; it "[reflects] on their emotions" and Martin "endlessly examine[s] his feelings". Martin's lyrical wordplay has been called feminist, similar to Andrew Montgomery of Geneva. During the early years, Coldplay became widely known in the media for claims they gave 10% of the band's profits to charity, which they continue to do. Bassist Guy Berryman said, "You can make people aware of issues. It isn't very much effort for us at all, but if it can help people, then we want to do it." The band also asks that any gifts intended for them are donated to charity, according to a response on the FAQ section of Coldplay's website. Martin was outspoken against the 2003 invasion of Iraq, and he endorsed the United States Democratic presidential candidates John Kerry, and Barack Obama in 2004 and 2008 respectively. In June 2009, Coldplay began supporting Meat Free Monday, a food campaign started by Sir Paul McCartney which attempts to help slow climate change by having at least one meat free day a week.

[TRANSIMISSION 94] I'm No Human By Misstress Barbara
Published: 2009-09-28 02:40:42
Barbara Bonfiglio, better known as Misstress Barbara (the misspelling is an intentional portmanteau [i.e. "miss" and "stress"]), is an Italian born, Canadian electronica disc jockey. She moved from Sicily to Montreal, Quebec at the age of eight, and has resided in the city ever since. Musically speaking, Barbara is known for her DJ sets and her beautiful melodies.

[TRANSMISSION 93] Butterfly Caught (Paul Daley Remix) By Massive Attack
Published: 2009-09-25 06:04:29
Massive Attack's style is often thought of as being experimental. The duo have talked of their ethos as being to have a very different creative approach to each album and to "avoid the obvious". Some of their most noted songs have been without choruses and have featured dramatically atmospheric dynamics, conveyed through either epic distorted guitar crescendos, lavish orchestral arrangements (like swelling, sustained strings or flourishes of grand piano) or prominent, looped/shifting basslines, often underpinned by high and exacting production values, involving sometimes painstaking digital editing and mixing. The pace of their music has often been slower than prevalent British dance music at the time. These and other psychedelic, soundtrack-like and DJist sonic techniques, formed a much-emulated style journalists began to dub "trip hop" from the mid-nineties onwards, though in an interview in 2006, G said, "'We used to hate that terminology [trip-hop] so bad,' (laughs) 'You know, as far we were concerned, Massive Attack music was unique, so to put it in a box was to pigeonhole it and to say, "Right, we know where you guys are coming from."

[TRANSMISSION 91] Dirtygrrrls/Dirtybois (Electro For The Masses Remix) by Faderhead
Published: 2009-09-20 00:32:00
Faderhead [real name Sami Mark Yahya] got the name in 1996 from an American friend who saw him mix a song and watched him moving the faders on a big mixing console. So he said "Man, you're a real Faderhead!" - and everyone in the room thought the name was fitting. The new EP "Horizon Born" will be released in Europe and online on October 23, 2009 and will feature ballads exclusively. [SUPPORT OUR ARTISTS!] Like what you hear? Me too.

[TRANSMISSION 90] Utopia (Tom Middleton's Cosmos Vocal Remix) by Goldfrapp
Published: 2009-09-17 20:02:38
Goldfrapp by far needs no introduction. The majority of band's songs are composed by Alison Goldfrapp and Gregory, although they have collaborated with session musician Nick Batt several times. They have called their writing sessions a "democratic affair", playing off one another while in the recording studio. However, Alison Goldfrapp is responsible for the lyrics. While writing, Goldfrapp uses her vocals to create melodies and drumbeats. Gregory composes his music on vintage keyboards, interpreting the mood of Goldfrapp's lyrics. Alison Goldfrapp believes that "music is a visual experience" and therefore visualizes her lyrics before writing them. Her songwriting is characterized by its use of animals to describe human emotions and status.

:wumpscut:'s lyrics always make you wonder what the inspirations for his lyrics are.
Each song is a small story in itself - but then when you add them together on his new album 'FЦСҚIT' it as a whole deserves to be considered a small novel. :W: never ceases to amaze me with his haunting and beautiful musical experiments.
