Artist: Citizens' Utilities
While a product of the fertile Seattle music scene, Citizens' Utilities favored a much rootsier sound than their grunge contemporaries; a quartet comprised of guitarists Joshua Medaris and Chad Shaver, bassist Bill Herzog and drummer Eric Akre (all four members contributed vocals), the group debuted in 1996 with Lost and Foundered, issued on the...

Artist: Chavela Vargas
The best and longest preserved of the Mexican cancion ranchera singers, Chavela Vargas began singing rather late in life -- past the age of thirty -- but continued well into old age, charming audiences until she was well into her 70s. Born in Costa Rica in 1919, she first sang on a professional level in the early '50s, and toured with the... [+] Read More

Formed from the ashes of two alternative country bands, Whiskeytown and Hominy, the duo of lead singer/guitarist Jesse Sykes and guitarist Phil Wandscher met in 1999 in Seattle's Hattie Hat bar.

Artist: Encryption
During their brief, late-'90s existence, Germany's Encryption attempted to combine the technique and aggression of death metal with the melodic inclinations and commercial potential of power metal. Unfortunately, however, overwhelmingly positive reviews couldn't overcome the band's short-armed independent distribution methods. Nevertheless,... [+] Read More
Artist: Marcus Schmickler
A member of the thriving Cologne experimental music scene associated with Mouse on Mars, Nonplace Urban Field, Air Liquide, Mike Ink, and the A-Music, Electro Bunker, and Karaoke Kalk labels, Markus Schmickler is one of the more "composerly" contributors to that conglomerate's growing renown. A formal student of electronic composition,... [+] Read More
Artist: Black Eyed Sceva
Black Eyed Sceva didn't last long (1992-1996) and their output was hardly prolific (an indie demo tape, one full-length CD, and an EP), but they can lay some claim to being one of the best bands of the decade, certainly within the Christian music scene. The three-piece unit (Jeremy Post, guitar and lead vocals, Brad McCarter, bass and vocals,... [+] Read More

Artist: Popol Vuh
Of the many now-legendary artists to emerge from the Krautrock movement, few anticipated the rise of modern electronic music with the same prescience as Popol Vuh -- the first German band to employ a Moog synthesizer, their work not only anticipated the emergence of ambient, but also proved pioneering in its absorption of worldbeat textures. At... [+] Read More
Artist: Patrick O'Flaherty
Patrick O'Flaherty is a world-class mandolin player and multi-instrumentalist, as well as a singer/songwriter. Many of his original compositions are written in Gaelic, a rarity in a time when new material usually is not written in that language. However, it is quite natural for O'Flaherty. He was born in Connemara, Ireland, and Gaelic was his... [+] Read More
