Boxing Gandhis is a retro-funk band formed in 1993 by lead singer and guitarist David Darling. The sextet released its second CD, "Howard," on Atlantic Records in 1996. The album has a classic-funk feel, reminiscent of Sly and the Family Stone, Stevie Wonder, Prince and George Clinton's P-Funk. The group's debut music video won Billboard Magazine's 1995 Video Award for Best Jazz/Adult Contemporary video.
Cult heroes Jane's Addiction are the Grateful Dead for the should-I-be-a-punk-or-a-hippy-or-metal-head-or-just-get-high-and-become-one-with-the-music underground; so Kettle Whistle, the band's collection of live recordings, a few new songs, and B-sides from their two albums, would be as must-have for fans as all those Dead bootlegs–even if it sucked. This is definitely an album for the converted, and the extended jams and live ramblings would be hard to endure without a frame of reference. The electronic filler and robotic knob-twiddling on the new songs, "Kettle Whistle" and "So What," suggest that Jane's Addiction's breakup was well timed, but the demos and live cuts ooze the band's tremendous energy and chemistry. In the 1988 demo of "Ocean Size," Perry Farrell's charismatic, raspy howl mingling with Dave Navarro's screeching guitar sucks you into the music and sends you to an alternate groove-plane.
The '90s were known for a brooding style of rock music, but also for several emerging and revisited genres such as trip hop or neo-swing. Following the eclectic path which characterized the later years of this decade, the series attempted to reunite memorable songs while meticulously avoiding overplayed clichés and filler tracks. The resulting playlist is a well-brewed tribute to Generation X.
"Первоначально это была концепция альбома о нашей любимой еде" говорит Амит из электронно-рокового феномена Infected Mushroom о последнем альбоме группы Legend of the Black Shawarma. "У нас была пачка песен, посвященных нашим любимым закусочным по всему миру. После всё же решили дать трекам более серьезные названия, но как подразумевает имя альбома, есть множество материала о возможности замарить червячка"
Новый, седьмой по счету альбом — является по-настоящему мощным и имеет некоторых высококлассных гостей. В основном сингле "Smashing the Opponent" звучит зажигательный вокал Джонатана Дейвиса из группы "Korn", а фронтмен групп Jane’s Addiction/Porno for Pyros и покровитель альтернативного рока святой Perry Farrell своим неподражаемым голосом одарил предстоящий сингл “Killing Time.”
