ARTS : THE IOS PLAYLIST : THE FIVE BEST SOUNDS OF THE MOMENT
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Schoenberg: Erwartung, Kammersym-phonie No 1, Variations for Orchestra. CBSO/Simon Rattle, Phyllis Bryn-Julson (EMI, CD). Rattle proves yet again that hard-core modernism can be radiant and rewarding in the right hands. MW
Various: Rewind Selecta - Vol 1 (Grapevine, CD/LP/tape). Balmy lovers- rock: ideal for warming chilled cockles. Ben Thompson
Tricky: Maxinquaye (4th & Broadway, CD/ LP/tape). Superb, sinuous and sinister dbut from maverick Bristolian. BT
Carter USM: Worry Bomb (Chrysalis, CD/ LP/tape). Back from the darkest depths of critical disdain with an explosion of lucid social commentary and classic scruff rock. NB
Belly: King (4AD, CD/LP/tape). A right royal follow-up to Star. Sparkling, skew-whiff and impossible to dislike. NB
