Let the music speak for itself
Article Abstract:
The Dave Matthews Band has gained a strong following, and is even admired by a number of celebrities. However, the popular music press has been largely dismissive of the band's success. Some observers have likened the band to The Grateful Dead, but its mix of folk, jazz and world music is actually more complex than that of The Grateful Dead. The band's most recent album, 'Before These Crowded Streets,' is its strongest so far, with both song-writing and musicianship being extremely focused.

The dinosaurs that beat Darwin
Article Abstract:
The popularity of heavy metal music has waned in the UK over recent years. This seems to be the result of a natural evolution in rock music tastes, with traditional hard rock acts such as Iron Maiden being displaced by slightly softer sounds. Iron Maiden remains popular abroad, while its status in the UK has declined, even though it is still attracting more support than most other heavy metal groups. Iron Maiden is to tour in the UK from Nov 17, 1998.

Whatever happened to/all of The Stranglers? (just ask the sheep ...)
Article Abstract:
Rock group The Stranglers performed to an audience of only 35 people when it visited Mount Alice, an army base located on West Falkland. There was a very unusual atmosphere there, but the performance was greatly enjoyed by the audience. The base is very isolated, so there was no need to be concerned about creating a disturbance. The group performed very energetically, and there were no restrictions on the behaviour of the audience.
