Frances Madden is a Sydney based singer, pianist and songwriter. Frances Madden’s original songs and dis-tinctive interpretation of Classics and Jazz standards often take her sound beyond the Jazz genre – embrac-ing elements of swing, the blues and even pop at times. She grew up listening to artists like Diana Krall, Norah Jones, Eva Cassidy and Ella Fitzgerald who she acknowledges as influences. Frances Madden will soon release her debut album, If This Were A Dream. She has previously released a live album taken from a performance at Sydney’s Dome Bar, which is available on iTunes, Google Play, Spotify and other digital platforms.

“I wanted this to be my most open record, uncynical, naive, unguarded, the record teenage me wanted to make,” says electronic explorer James Holden of his generically unconstrained new album of rave music for a parallel universe 'Imagine This Is A High Dimensional Space Of All Possibilities'. “I used to balance my clock-radio on a wardrobe to catch the faint pirate FM signals from the nearest city, dreaming of what raves would be like when I could finally escape and become a New Age traveller. So it’s like a dream of rave, a fantasy about a transformative music culture that would make the world better. I guess it’s also a dialogue with that teenage me.”

This is the story of the last cruise of USS Belmont (AGTR-4), one of the American spy ships used in the 1960s. Half of the crew worked in signal intelligence while the other half ran the ship. The crazy things that happened during the last year of this ship’s life, made me wonder about that word, intelligence.
