Beth Orton's new album 'Weather Alive' is a sensory record: 'I was really engaging with this idea...

Chicago Tribune — Beth Orton's "Weather Alive" is an album bustling with firsts. Orton has been a working musician for nearly 30 years. In that time she has distinguished herself as a ruminative folk artist whose "two-finger ditties" (her phrase) are soulfully strummed, but "Weather Alive" is Orton's first album to make copious use of the piano.

Masta Class: Take A Look Around Turns 30 - Rock and Roll Globe

Rock and Roll Globe — Celebrating three decades of a hip-hop classic including an exclusive interview with Masta Ace himself! Even without Marley Marl corralling and cajoling his men, the Juice Crew would have prospered well into the early '90s.
