Paul Simon & Friends
Title: The Library Of Congress
Release Date: 6th July 2009

In May of 2007 the Library of Congress gathered an unprecedented group of musicians together in Washington, D.C., to honor Paul Simon as the first recipient of the Gershwin Prize for Popular Song. Alison Krauss, Stevie Wonder, Lyle Lovett, Ladysmith Black Mambazo, Marc Anthony, Art Garfunkel and a host of others joined Paul onstage in a multicultural tribute to the music of a great American artist and a great American art form.

This gala event, called "the greatest night of popular music ever presented in our nation's capital," was beautifully filmed and captured with stunning 5.1 Surround Sound for a truly pure concert experience.

El Traducir de Quantic!

Aye carumba! We're getting all hot under the collars about the forthcoming album from the incredibly prolific, globe-trotting musician, producer & DJ Will Holland aka Quantic, Tradition In Transition.

Will has been living in Cali, Columbia for the last few years, where he recorded the exceptional Quantic Presenta Flowering Inferno album, Death Of The Revolution.

In that time he has also been assembling a brand new band, which he has dubbed Quantic & His Combo Barbaro (translating almost literally as "Band Of Barbarians").

The album is due for release 6th July, but in the meantime there's a whole bunch of cool stuff about the making of the album, a short film with photography from B+ & tunes from Tradition In Transition you can check out right here:

And keep your ears peeled for details of a NZ launch party for the album...
