	2002 in British music - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		This is a summary of 2002 in music in the United Kingdom, including the official charts from that year.
		The two biggest music acts in the UK were neck and neck, and despite numerous posthumous releases, it wasn't until 25 years later that one of them finally took the lead.
		What was probably considered the tune of 2002 came next and was a duet between US rapper Nelly and Kelly Rowland, a member of Destiny's Child.

	2006 in British music - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The first three months were dominated by both The X Factor and Indie music.
		It had been losing ratings for the past five years, having been usurped by music television.
		The other number ones in the start of the year went to Madonna, with her 12th chart-topper, and to U.S rapper The Notorious B.I.G in February, who climbed to number one after being beaten by the Arctic Monkeys.

	British Music Industry
		British Music Rights is the consensus voice of Britain's 34,500 composers and songwriters, 2,500 music publishers and their collecting societies (1).
		Though companies such as music publishers and record companies do take an interest in the copyright for the exploitation of the copyright in music, there is always an individual composer at the start of the value chain who depends on royalties to earn his or her living.
		Many developing countries have their own very strong musical culture and so this is the one area which they could develop, through copyright, into a business which could contribute to their own economic development (without the requirement of a high technological standard).

		It has to be said that it all works on the piano, but the impact of the music is materially changed by the sound of the harpsichord, and it is a pity it could not have been used here.
		This is an excellent selection of modern recorder music, and it is particularly good to see Rubbra's three principal works for recorder and keyboard brought together, making this CD a must for Rubbra lovers at the very least.
		Here in common with these composers he writes music which all amateur recorder players can attempt but which needs a virtuoso to present with the intonation and command of tone to give works such as the Rubbra their true stature.

		All of the trad rockers were obsessed with keeping the music gritty and real -- to capture the vibe of the classic '60s records, they used vintage instruments and didn't deviate from classicist song structures.
		More musically adept and experimental than Cast, Kula Shaker nevertheless worked the same vaguely spiritual lyrical territory, but musically they brought the overpowering rush of Oasis to psychedelia, a genre that the Mancunians had previously avoided.
		The three British singles released from the album are definite highlights -- "Get Myself Arrested," "Whippin' Piccadilly," and "78 Stone Wobble," the latter containing a beautifully haunting acoustic guitar riff similar to Nirvana's unplugged version of the Meat Puppets' "Plateau." All the praise that Gomez's debut received is definitely not hype.

		Ultimately, virtually every British group of any note from the mid-1960s made it in the States, including The Who, The Rolling Stones, The Hollies, The Yardbirds, The Moody Blues, Cream, Traffic, Pink Floyd and The Troggs (although in some cases, success did not occur overnight as it had for The Beatles and The Stones).
		America's return to control came via '60s soul music and then psychedelia -both these styles had much in common with R&B and country music, the joint sources of rock'n'roll, and their victory over the marauding Brits came much more gradually than the tidal wave bearing British beat music.
		What was different -and remains one of the British Invasion's most impressive achievements - was that Britain would henceforth be taken seriously as an inventive and trend-setting source of popular music.

	Boston.com / A&E / Music / Imaginative British composer has a flair for the dramatic
		Birtwistle's music remains relatively unfamiliar to local audiences despite intermittent efforts by Collage New Music, Boston Musica Viva, and the Tanglewood Festival of Contemporary Music.
		Birtwistle's only previous visit to Boston was on a fishing trip, but this semester he is in residence at Harvard University, where his presence will be celebrated in the city's first all-Birtwistle concert Friday in Paine Hall.
		Over a long career, Birtwistle's music has undergone change and development, but certain characteristics are unchanging -- a bristling, forward-thrusting energy as the music moves through complex labyrinths toward its destination; a personal and craggy harmonic language; and an engagement with the large and lasting issues embodied in myths.

		Butler and Fletcher, both multi-instrumentalists and singers, were avid record collectors and, even more so, avid record listeners, with interests that extend back to the roots of British rock and into American soul, as well as a multitude of other directions.
		Sunshine Hit Me, released by We Love You as a U.K.-only issue and credited to the Bees, reflected their interests and listening, melding '60s freakbeat and psychedelic sensibilities with '70s power pop, and got nominated for a Mercury Music Prize, for Best in British Music, in 2002.
		For all of their seeming '60s influences, the group comes off as startlingly contemporary, just willing to reach back to artists and styles they admire when it suits them which, so far (as of 2004), is often.
