 Antipop Consortium - Biography - AOL Music
Antipop Consortium emerged in the early 2000s as one of the underground hip-hop scene's most inventive groups, bridging the gap between New York hip-hop and glitchy IDM.
Though the album wasn't quite as daring as Antipop Consortium's successive releases, it nonetheless garnered substantial acclaim, placing the group among similarly edgy New York underground rap artists such as Company Flow.
As a result, Antipop Consortium crossed over from the stateside underground hip-hop scene to the more international IDM scene, which was becoming increasingly interested in rap during the early 2000s.

It’s musical territory that Krall has often explored, but this album was certainly not a case of simply repeating past formulas: Krall’s A-team of support – producer Tommy LiPuma, engineer Al Schmitt and arranger/bandleader John Clayton – were on hand to ensure that inspiration was kept on an edge, unhindered by the studio environment.
Krall – for the few still unknowing – is the 41-year old sensation whose cool, heavy-lidded vocals and strikingly sensitive piano-playing has helped her transcend barriers of genre to become a popular artist of the first order who has carved herself a permanent position at the top of the jazz charts.

Despite being extremely well received by critics (the music climate at the time seeing a new interest in electronic pop music with the electroclash movement), he band's new record label, Papillion (a subsidiary of Chrysalis Records), went bankrupt shortly after the album's release, leading to poor promotion and sales.

There was a time when teen music meant the Osmonds, the Partridge Family, and the DeFranco Family.
That was back in the '70s; from the late '80s on, the music known as teen pop has been influenced by dance-pop, hip-hop, and urban contemporary.
While So Tight is much poppier than Bell Biv DeVoe -- one of the groups that Vi3 claims as an influence -- the disc is definitely harder and grittier than 90 percent of the teen-oriented releases that came out in 2002.

 Mos Def | Biography | MTV
Rap groups such as De La Soul, A Tribe Called Quest, and Brand Nubian -- loosely known as the Native Tongue collective -- had set a precedent years earlier for socially conscious, thoughtful rap music more likely to celebrate Afrocentricity than gangsta culture.
During the early 2000s, he acted in several films (Monster's Ball, Bamboozled) and even spent some time on Broadway (the Pulitzer Prize-winning Topdog/Underdog).
Mos Def hoped to infuse the rock world with his all-fl band and during the early 2000s, he performed several small shows with his band around the New York area.

 Mouse On Mars, MP3 Music Download at eMusic
German post-techno duo Mouse on Mars is among a growing number of electronic music groups dabbling in complex, heavily hybridized forms that include everything from ambient, techno, and dub to rock, jazz, and jungle.
A demo of material found its way to London-based guitar-ambient group Seefeel, who passed it on to the offices of their label, Too Pure.
Immediately hailed for its beguiling, inventive edge that seemed to resist all efforts at easy "schublade" (an even less flattering approximation of the English "pigeonhole"), Vulvaland was reissued in 1995 by (oddly) Rick Rubin's American Recordings label, which also released their follow-up, Iaora Tahiti, soon after.

The group was founded by Lee and Moody, its former lead guitarist.
For some time they were unable to find other musicians to play with, and did not have the funds to pay for professional assistance, so they were not able to play any live shows.
However, Lee dismisses these claims as mere "labels" and refuses to categorize and (to paraphrase) put in a box the band's music since she believes Evanescence has a unique sound unlike any other.

 BMG Music Service: CD Detail
The answer is that Tejano has represented a sleeker, smoother, more pop-minded approach to Mexican music; Tejano, arguably, is to the regional Mexican audience what salsa romantica is to the salsa/Afro-Cuban audience.
And one of the groups that has epitomized that sleeker, softer side of Mexican music in the '90s and 2000s is Intocable, whose "La Historia" is aimed at those who like their Tex-Mex rhythms laced with a big dose of Latin pop.
But those who appreciate the softer and more pop-minded side of regional Mexican music will find a great deal to admire about this rewarding collection.
