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.Hodie: Carols from Cambridge. Clare College Choir, Timothy Brown (Gamut, CD). Sharper and more modern than the glacial sweetness of the King's sound. Michael White
The Beatles: Live at the BBC (EMI, double CD/double LP/double tape). Long-lost tracks from 1962-65: an already accomplished band play their hearts out. NB
The Unplugged Collection Vol 1 (Warner, CD/tape). Some of the best live tracks ever recorded, and a few others. Tim de Lisle
Palace Brothers: Hope (Domino, CD/mini-LP). Six lovely uplifting laments from maverick minstrel Will Oldham. Ben Thompson
The Headhunters: God Made Me Funky (on Classic Rare Groove Vol 2, Mastercuts CD/ tape). A true jazz-funk great. BT
