 Encyclopedia :: encyclopedia : AM stereo   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
AM stereo is any of a number of mutually-incompatible techniques for broadcasting two-channel audio in the mediumwave band in a manner that is compatible with receivers designed for standard amplitude modulation.
There are two main classes of systems: independent sideband (ISB) systems, promoted principally by American broadcast engineer Leonard Kahn; and quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) multiplexing systems (conceptually closer to FM stereo), of which the best known is Motorola's C-QUAM.
A famous European transmitter using AM stereo is Villebon sur Yvette on 864 kHz, which transmits Radio Bleue.

 Stereo MCs: Deep Down & Dirty ---Ink Blot Magazine
The Stereo MC's have survived 8+ years of inactivity, a several waves of English dance music that alternately passed them by and lifted them to prominence, and a whole career of incorrect punctuation (c'mon guys, "MC's?" MC is what?).
Deep Down and Dirty is the ballsiest album of the year, a strutting, defiant record that has the guts to sound exactly like the Stereos' last album and make no apologies for the -- gasp -- nine years in between the two.
And that's the way it had to be, really, because this is what the Stereo MC's do.

The powerful Connected was released in September 1992 to mounting acclaim; previous albums had all been well received, but this was comfortably their most rounded and spirited effort.
In its wake the Stereo MC's collared the Best Group category at the 1994 BRIT Awards ceremony, which celebrated the band's pre-eminence within the commercial dance music field to the detriment of their hip-hop roots.

Fans of the Stereo MC's who have been waiting since 1992 for a follow-up album to their brilliant and acclaimed CONNECTED may be somewhat disappointed to discover that this is a mix compilation.
The mix opens with what sounds like a recording of a child at a yard sale before launching auspiciously into "Moon Trek" by the Mike Theodore Orchestra from 1977--a funky and dramatic overture to the blend of hip-hop from both sides of the Atlantic, with and without rapping.

It's been 13 years since the Stereo MCs hit the big time with their third album Connected - and it's sad to see that they're mistakenly clinging to the "if it aint broke, don't fix it" philosophy which propelled them through their last major release, 2001's Deep Down And Dirty.
The accomplished production and standards of musicianship are hard to find fault with, but gospel-driven funky hip-hop tracks like album opener Warhead, Set It Off and Sun, plus soulful slow jams First Love and Breathe Out would have sounded dated five years ago.

Then they went away for a long time, and then they came back with 'Deep Down & Dirty' in 2001, which, well, flopped a bit.
