Rakta - III
Xetas - The Tower
The Cavemen - Born To Hate.

Just picked them up on the way home from work today.
I loved self titled Rakta, played it to death when I got it, this new one has better production but still manages to impress.
The Cavemen are great, snotty fast punk, remind me of Antiseen, but with a better sense of humour.

What album made you decide you wanted to pursue music?

"That's difficult. I think it was either Love Man by Otis Redding or Bad by Michael Jackson. Both of those albums had a huge effect on me. I originally couldn't decide whether I wanted to be a drummer or a dancer

The earliest influence on my songwriting comes from the singer-songwriters I grew up on — people like Jackson Browne, James Taylor, Dan Fogelberg, Crosby, Stills & Nash, Jon Pousette-Dart, and so on. These artists define the main stream in which I work: acoustic folk-rock. At the same time, I listened to a lot of progressive rock early on, especially Yes, which helped shape my early practice of writing suites of songs.

Since then I have expanded my musical horizons considerably, both within the singer-songwriter tradition and into blues, bluegrass, reggae, jazz, and classical music. In my later songs you can hear echoes of artists I didn't listen to in my teenage years, such as Bob Dylan, Lennon & McCartney (and George Harrison, whose songs I like a lot), Cat Stevens, Joni Mitchell, Michael Hedges, Professor Longhair, Bob Marley, Duke Ellington, the medieval troubadours, and so on.

When it comes to lyrics I'm an intellectualist and a formalist — probably a result of my study of classical literature in college and my overall intellectual tendencies (evident also in my poems). I've never been able to write lyrics that are more moody, free-flowing, and spontaneous. I don't know whether that's good or bad, it's just the way I am. :)
