	NME - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		By the early 1970s the NME had lost ground to the Melody Maker as its coverage of music had failed to keep pace with the development of rock music.
		In the nature of important new popular music, NME thrives in an atmosphere where ex-readers resent the new music it is covering, accusing the paper of 'selling out'.
		NME sponsors a tour of the United Kingdom by various up-and-coming bands every year, soon before the NME Awards themselves.

		The New Musical Express (better known as the NME) is a weekly magazine about popular music published in the UK.
		It is unlike many other popular music magazines due to its intended focus on guitar-based music and indie rock bands, instead of mainstream pop acts.
		This resulted in the recruitment of Tony Parsons and Julie Burchill, who went on to champion a new musical trend that became known as punk rock, giving coverage to rising bands such as the Sex Pistols and The Clash, and clubs such as The Roxy in London's Neale Street.

	Travis - New Musical Express, February 27, 1999
		Despite being utterly besotted with each other, with their music, with the whole dazzling potential of rock 'n' roll, despite having just finished a second album of which they are fiercely, paternally proud, they still refuse to embark on any flights of fancy.
		Their new single, "Writing To Reach You," might be a fragile, raw-nerved love song, yet the "You" in the title is meant in the plural.
		Music is about communication in a very un-visual way--you've got to create a picture in someone's head.

	20 July 1981 Munich
		The expected media fanfare came, but it was muted in comparison to that afforded the '78 trip, when Dylan was seen as the concensus of the ongoing 'rock' tradition handed down from the 60s; still the enigmatic and unrepentant rebel carrying the standards of alienation, protest and emotional and spiritual exploration forward into the future.
		Dylan's new material continues to reflect his Christianity, though the songs of the new lp, 'Shot of Love' are less directly devotional in their approach, taking the Christian code as the bedrock of his observations rather than merely preaching, as 'Saved' too often did.
		The new songs - which may or may not be called 'Angelina' (a title already fabled among fans) and 'Caribbean Wind' - he mentioned in my interview sound exciting, promising a fusion of his 60s sound of the 'Blonde on Blonde' era and his 80s sensibilities.

		This resulted in the recruitment of Tony Parsons and Julie Burchill, who went on to champion a new musical trend that became known as punk rock, giving coverage to rising bands such as the Sex Pistols and The Clash, and clubs such as The Roxy in London's Neal Street.
		It suffered during the late 1990s and early 2000s as British music became dull and uninventive.
		Other former NME journalists include song and Sci-Fi writer Mick Farren (of the Deviants (band)), plus DJs Steve Lamacq, Danny Baker and Andrew Collins (also a film critic), sports television and radio presenter Danny Kelly and writer David Quantick.

	village voice > music > MOBY's 18 by Michaelangelo Matos
		You might not be able to tell if a song is by Moby just from the voice or musical style, but it's pretty difficult not to notice that four-chord arrangement he uses all the goddamn time for ambient tinkle and career-killing thrash alike.
		That changing of the same is what kept Moby's music fresh; he didn't have to keep moving mountains with the same set of hands, keep building steam with the same grain of salt.
		Play may have made ace background music for the nail salon or sports car or blockbuster sequel of your choice, but it was out a full year before it got popular—it represented a consolidation, not a capitulation.

	New Musical Express, 0688 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Where her landscape is usually a bleak, metaphoric wasteland, littered with the worlds of French Romantic poets, here she maps out a vision of America through which drifts snatches of the blues, negro-spirituals, suggestions of rock 'n' roll and country, even dancebeats.
		Her sentiments are made clear enough on 'Double Barrel Prayer': "The trick to saying prayers/When the devil's in the way/Is to help god pull the trigger/On the dogs this judgement day," she sings, recasting the rednecks on the receiving end of the angel of judgement's attentions.
		While it's difficult to separate this LP from its subject matter, it must be said that it is remarkable not only for its content, but for Galas' complete mastery of its musical forms, her voice proving equally stunning when tethered to a melody as when soaring in the upper reaches.

		At 50 years old, the New Musical Express is the great survivor of the music press.
		Nobody really listens to the music of, say, The Pixies (number 33) any more, but at the end of the Eighties the NME seized on them as emblematic of a certain brand of new American rock -- dark, ugly, but with eloquent hooks-and helped deify them in the eyes of their impressionable following.
		The NME once had the game almost to itself: it was streets ahead of fellow weeklies Sounds and Melody Maker, there were no monthlies, and no rock coverage to speak of in the national press.

	New Musical Express
		The relation between music and time is a complex one.
		Some music has more than one time - the doomed romanticism of The Doors, the soundtrack not only to Apocalypse Now but to the Vietnam war for real, seemed to fall through a time warp, emerging in the late '70's/early '80's as the sound of post-punk, Postcard and Creation.
		Listening now to the music of Throbbing Gristle brings back memories of an era of experimentation between 1976 and 1980 when conventions were being trashed and possibilities seemed endless.

		Vangelis's music is definitely not based on the "Zorba's Dance", "Never On Sunday" tourist concept of Greek music, but it has a lot of Greece in it.
		"Music is the way that I speak better," he adds to amplify the statement.
		And on top of that he has no great regard for the music of the other rock keyboard players' of our time - such as Emerson, Wakeman, Lord - believing that they're all failing to achieve their full potential by not opening their minds more.

		Half the way I'm thinking, musically, philosophically and every other way is her influence both as a woman and an artist.

		His music of late is imbued, literally and metaphorically, with the spirits of Blake, Wordsworth, Donne and Yeats.
		The new LP may have had something to do with his decision or the fact that he is, this year, celebrating a quarter century in the music business.
		The fact that pop music in general, and Cliff Richard in particular, held their own amongst the blues record collection of the young Morrison may come as a surprise to those who think of the man as a purist.

		NEW MUSICAL EXPRESS 10 January 1981 1: MARK E. "It's typical of the 'rock' sort of thing today.
		Mark Smith's commenting on the way certain music journalists have turned against The Fall's staunchly anti-escapist stance because the vagaries of fashion at present dictate that "having a good time till the bomb drops" or "looking good when the bomb drops", or suchlike nonsense, is the de rigeur pose to pursue.
		In fact, until this year, the only pieces of Fall music I could honestly confess to liking were 'It's The New Thing' and 'Repetition', wryly acidic comments on the programming of desire performed with appealing shabbiness.

		After a while, the loose limbed semi- choreographed shenanigans on stage took a severe drubbing at the hands of the sonic assault coming from the amps.
		This was The Fall in a new context - innovatory, exciting, iconoclastic - all the adjectives you'd heard applied to Michael Clark.
		Basically, tonight, the rock music whitewashed the modern dance.

		Music is like a medicine and a refuge to me, and since I use other music in that manner maybe that's what mine could be good for."
		This, more than ever, is music brought about in the fire of the moment — tenderness, humanity and abandon fusing in a single rush.
		I think his best music is tough and slippery enough to transcend such a tag, but the temptation to play to a gallery of new pop-haters must be hard to resist.

		So perhaps in a way it is fitting that as the year draws to an end, the group should find themselves taking a new look and a new stand in the musical field with the news that Dave Mason, composer and singer, is to quit and Traffic will be three.
		He was part of the group's music but that's all he was interested in.
		So 1968 will bring a new Traffic with a beautiful, complete LP behind them and the promise of more film scores to write after their successful venture into Round The Mulberry Bush.

		I can equate all the important phases of my life with certain pieces of music and I seem to have, unconsciously, set about re-collecting the albums (in CD format) that marked the passing of the ages.
