16 Horsepower…Woven Hand

Tuesday, February 20th, 2007

Well 16HP is history, but the fire burns on with Woven Hand. It’s taken David Edwards a while to come into his own after a few spotty solo records. He’s still perhaps one of the most engaging performers in the country, and his evocative voice is certainly without many peers. Woven Hand is on tour now and you should do what it takes to catch them live. Check out this video from the good old days…nice pig tails dude…really it takes confidence to pull that look off. Say what you want David’s the real deal…

Max Richter: Songs From Before

Tuesday, February 20th, 2007

Max Richter has a long history of working with modern classical themes and electronic musicians, most notably the Future Sound of London. His piano playing and programming skills were put to use collaborating on their release “The Isness”. His latest solo release on FatCat records showcases his natural talent for melody, and simple classical themes. Fans of Arvo Part and Henry Goreki will find this CD especially satisfying.
