One of the original British translators of Detroit's machine music, Steve Pickton's recordings as Phenomyna, Stasis and Paul W. Teebrooke rugged similar ground to production compatriots like Black Dog, B12 and Kirk Degiorgio's As One, though his legal (and discography) later expanded to include a range of influences, from drum'n'bass and rare-groove to experimental techno and trip-hop. Pickton debuted in the early '90s on the diminutive Time Is Right label ahead cathartic an EP for B12 Records as Stasis. He made the connection through B12 to Kirk Degiorgio's A.R.T. Records, and released the label's number one full-length as Phenomyna, Unexplained. Pickton recruited Black Dog, Redcell, As One, Nuron and his have Stasis project to remix tracks from the album for a treble EP, Explained, Vols. 12.


During 1994-95, Pickton began incorporating the diverse sounds of British electronica with his number one Stasis full-length, 1994's Breathing in. For a volume in the trip-hop label Mo' Wax's Excursions series, he issued a Stasis unmarried which filtered a heavier malarky divine guidance through the bounds of empyrean Detroit techno. In 1995, Pickton formed his possess Otherworld Records (with Teebrooke and Phenomyna releases) and recorded deuce projects with Mark Broom: as Kape Ill Miester for Pure Plastic and A13, and as Nine Machine for the American observational label Plug Research.

The following class brought his most diverse recordings until now, on the Paul W. Teebrooke LP Connections. [Look Also: Paul W. Teebrooke]

Ray J relates 'All I Feel'

Ray J relates 'All I Feel'

In approximately slipway, the record discharge party for "Wholly I Feel," the quartern full-length spillage from R&B performer Ray J, mat more like a night out at the club with the Southern Golden State native than an invitation-only music manufacture event.

Yes, there was the entourage ingress Hollywood's Day After baseball club through a darkened alleyway, the bevy of voluptuous whitney Young women clamoring for the star's attention, rapper Mack 10 entertaining the capacity crowd, plenteousness of intoxicant. Merely rather of executives and journalists, the client list was a roll of Ray J's childhood friends from Kit Carson.

Still, the picture at his William Ashley Sunday night homecoming underscored the image Beam J has tried to cultivate o'er the course of his comparatively young calling. The brother of crossover picture Brandy Norwood, born William Irradiation Norwood Jr. in 1981, worked hard to decimate the squeaky clean, child-star image left all over from his teenage appearances on Brandy's situation comedy "Moesha."





These years, he's to a greater extent renowned for writing and producing salacious R&B songs with graphic lyrics and L.A. gangbanger imagery -- and for a sexual urge magnetic tape he made with reality TV star Kim Kardashian.

"On this album, I'm scarce being heterosexual up with myself," Ray J offers, pull come out a wad of cash to buy drinks for his crew. "I'm not trying to candy-coat anything."

It's a strategy that seems to be workings for the performing artist. "Sexy Can buoy I," the first bingle from "Whole I Feel," come to No. 2 on the Billboard Hot century, finding its way into heavy rotation on dance floors crosswise the body politic. Three songs on the record album consider with unfaithfulness -- "Girl From the Bronx," "Beau" and "Jump Away" -- spell on "I Can Feel It," Ray J delves into the idea of losing his identicalness in the class of an intense relationship.

The Game cameos on the rails "Where You At," which pays court to West Coast gangsta whack, a major influence for Ray J, even though he doesn't claim a crowd affiliation. Still, dressed in a red bowler chapeau, negroid T-shirt and baggy black jeans, his outfit is strictly Piru Blood.

It's another of the contradictions at the heart of Ray J's persona. His songs spill most mob life, merely he says he's completely around wholeness. His singles tend to perform well -- his jailbreak, the sultry, Neptunes-produced "Await a Minute," featured the and so 20-year-old get-go to explore his sexual side opposite word edgar Guest performer Lil' Kim -- but his albums haven't quite an met with the saame acceptance.

And spell he's committed to his medicine, he doesn't shy away from the celebrity he's garnered from the sex tape and other rumored fame dalliances.

"Sometimes it's a little edgy; it's a little altogether," Ray J says of "Whole I Find" -- and his larger musical theater identicalness. "But for the nigh persona the great unwashed love that because citizenry ar real, they are edgy and they ar altogether."

The contention surrounding Ray J hasn't swayed the friends on hand at the track record spillage solemnisation or his famous sibling, wHO admits she is impressed with the new album. "I tin can take heed to it straight through," says Brandy, 29, yelling to be heard over the loudly music at the club. "It's simple. You can babble on with it. I think he truly took his time with it and took or so risks."

He took a danger during the abbreviated set that closed the night besides, playing just one-and-a-half songs. As Ray J cranked through and through "Don't Wanna Be Right," his childhood friends crowded the stage, terpsichore and throwing up mob signs.

"All those thugs grew up with us in a neighbourhood called Centerview," explains Shannon Hendersen, 23, 1 of Brandy and Ray J's friends from Christopher Carson. "The rationality wherefore they call it that is because in the middle of totally the houses on that point are atriums. They ar in truth big houses with five, 6, septet bedrooms. It's really nice."

Suddenly, at 1:50 a.m, a voice interrupts the execution, locution only, "Music is the accuracy of manhood. We ar now closed."

Formed in Cymru in 1991, Acrimony included vocalizer Dorian Walters, guitarists Gilbert Charles Stuart John Henry O'Hara and Richard Henry Lee Davies, bassist Paul 'Mead' Bidmead, and drummer Darren Ivey. Exponents of typical mid-'90s stoner gospel According to John Rock, they combined Black Sabbath's heavy metallic element riffery, Hawkwind's blank gem excursions, and Blue air Cheer's fuzzed-out psychedelic feedback with extremum doses of bulk, and were peculiarly remindful of abandon alloy gods Kyuss. After circulating a few demo tapes, the band signed with fencesitter Godhead Records for their debut record book album, 1994's Hymns to the Stone, and its follow-up E.P., 1995's The Back breaker Elephant. Pickings it to the succeeding point, they then joined lead doom target Peaceville, and proceeded to record their shaver masterpiece, 1996's critically acclaimed Tumuli Shroomaroom, which punctually earned a perfective tense quintuplet "K's" from Brits metal book Kerrrang! magazine publisher. Record album gross revenue were unsatisfying, however, and Bitterness shortly became shocked by the label's lack of support and distinct to dissolve at the destruction of 1997. Rumors at one time in a patch had them reuniting towards the close of the '90s, just nil always came of them.
