On 2006's CONTINENTAL, Robin Guthrie's second solo outing (and his first for Darla Records), the former Cocteau Twins guitarist offers up another instrumental set that is more striking and melody-driven than his beautifully subtle debut, IMPERIAL. In fact, many songs on this release, particularly the slowly building title track and the moody "Monument," clearly echo vintage Cocteau Twins recordings in their shimmering elegance and graceful ebb and flow. Arguably the finest Cocteaus-related project since the group's late-1990s demise, CONTINENTAL is sure to please many fans of the revered ensemble.Magnet (p.98) - "CONTINENTAL is definitely the gorgeous tapestry of ethereal soundscapes you would expect from Guthrie, and it's completely dependent on the soaring, feedback-drenched tones of his guitar work."

On his full-length 2001 debut, German electronica artist Ulrich Schnauss offers up an immediately engaging and hypnotic set of instrumental tracks that mix Cocteau Twins-like ambience with dance-oriented beats and samples. Atmosphere and melody are nicely balanced here, making the disc appealing to both fans of contemporary "chillout" techno and the 1990s shoegazer scene.

The Sons of Champlin's sprawling, double-LP debut album, Loosen Up Naturally, had its launch marred by the discovery of an obscenity in the cover art that resulted in a mass recall and ruined its commercial chances. They were also beset by internal strife, and when the time came to release their second album only six months later, they chose to de-emphasize the primacy of lead singer and main songwriter Bill Champlin by shortening their name to "the Sons" and also giving that name to the record. But their music remained essentially the same, a mixture of Champlin's thoughtful lyrics and gritty singing with Terry Haggerty's inventive lead guitar work and the two-man horn section of Tim Caine and Geoffrey Palmer. As usual, there was almost too much going on in the arrangements, which gave the songs touches of folk, rock, jazz, and psychedelia, often in the same song, as a couple of the tunes extended beyond ten minutes in length, changing tempo and feel in mid-flight. Clearly, this was a band that was accustomed to using its songs as frameworks for free playing in concert, but the bandmembers still hadn't quite figured out how that worked in the studio, and their arguments about musical direction could be heard in the music itself. Champlin remained the strongest presence in the band, but his songs (all of which were credited to the Sons communally) took a backseat to the group that was playing them any way it wanted to. The results could be exhilarating, if in a somewhat anarchic way. The 2002 CD reissue on Acadia adds the group's first single and debut recording, only released as a promotional disc, "Jesus Is Coming," which appeared for the 1968 Christmas season and made some people mistake the Sons for a Christian group. ~ William Ruhlmann

Dave Clarke's second solo album, Reunion, is poised to consolidate his reputation as one of Canada's finest acoustic guitarists and to launch his career as a singer-songwriter.For the last decade, Dave has garnered kudos for his work with the acclaimed Montreal-based folkgrass trio Steel Rail, Juno-winning singer-songwriter David Francey, Canadian Folk Music Award-winner Penny Lang and the up-and-coming West Coast bluegrass band Shearwater.On Reunion, though, he steps to centre stage, singing some of the songs he has been crafting over the last few years of a career that stretches back to the heady Montreal folk scene of the 1970s. Added to his playing style -- he has been called one of the country's "most fluid acoustic pickers" -- his gift for melody and his fluency in folk, Celtic, bluegrass and country, it makes for a powerful addition to the Canadian scene. And as the title might suggest, Reunion features many of the artists Dave has encountered along his musical journey. Dave's interest in music stretches deep into his childhood in Montreal. He remembers taking naps with a beloved 78-r.p.m. recording of Casey Jones, and he played in a ukulele band with his brothers when he was in grade school. But it wasn't till he heard the strains of Mississippi John Hurt and Doc Watson that he fell under the spell of the guitar and began racing home at lunch time and after school to practise for hours on end.He got his start as a professional musician with the legendary Quebec group the White River Bluegrass Band in the late 1970s and later with the jazz-folk-swing band Soupe du Jour in the 1980s. He played with such performers as Barde and Theresa Doyle, but it was his work with the Montreal-based folkgrass trio Steel Rail, starting in the 1990s, that brought him to national attention.Dave also played with David ...
