The Last Train to Zona Verde is Paul Theroux's compelling account of his final African journey. Heading north from Cape Town, through South Africa, Namibia, Botswana and Angola, Paul Theroux makes a final journey along Africa's western edge. The end of the line is the Congo but Theroux discovers that his trip's pleasures are tempered by a growing sense that the Africa which so long ago helped form him has vanished, along with the hopes of many of its people. Yet after 2,500 miles Theroux finds that though this will be his ultimate African adventure there are still surprises to be found by the traveller prepared to step off the beaten track. "A melancholic, farewell journey. Theroux does all this inimitably, and more, getting better the more detours he takes". (Evening Standard). "Hard to put down, brutal honesty. Theroux proves himself a sharp observer of human foibles and a master of pithy description. The book he has crafted out of his experiences packs plenty of bang". (Spectator). "As we worry about the future of the continent, there could be no better guide than Theroux. his sense that this is his final journey adds to the power". (GQ). "Excellent, barbed reportage". (Independent). "Probably the most important travel writer of his generation". (Sunday Times). Paul Theroux's books include Dark Star Safari, Ghost Train to the Eastern Star, Riding the Iron Rooster, The Great Railway Bazaar, The Elephanta Suite, A Dead Hand, The Tao of Travel and The Lower River. The Mosquito Coast and Dr Slaughter have both been made into successful films. Paul Theroux divides his time between Cape Cod and the Hawaiian islands.

Cast in quality designer resin. Hand painted. Dimensions: 4L x 4W x 7.5H inches. Who'd be more enchanting upon your shelf of favorite books or atop your computer screen than our Design Toscano 7.5 in. Amethyst the Fairy Sitting Sculpturel? Amethyst is amazingly sculpted with wings so delicate we're convinced she'll fly away at any moment. About Design ToscanoDesign Toscano is the country's premier source for statues and other historical and antique replicas, which are available through the company's catalog and website. Design Toscano's founders, Michael and Marilyn Stopka, created Design Toscano in 1990. While on a trip to Paris, the Stopkas first saw the marvelous carvings of gargoyles and water spouts at the Notre Dame Cathedral. Inspired by the beauty and mystery of these pieces, they decided to introduce the world of medieval gargoyles to America in 1993. On a later trip to Albi, France, the Stopkas had the pleasure of being exposed to the world of Jacquard tapestries that they added quickly to the growing catalog. Since then, the company's product line has grown to include Egyptian, Medieval and other period pieces that are now among the current favorites of Design Toscano customers, along with an extensive collection of garden fountains, statuary, authentic canvas replicas of oil painting masterpieces, and other antique art reproductions. At Design Toscano, attention to detail is important. Travel directly to the source for all historical replicas ensures brilliant design.

'Head Up High' is written by all three band members, Paul and Ross Godfrey and Skye Edwards with production by Paul Godfrey. The album reflects a series of significant changes in the trio's lives while marking the success of the bands career spanning eighteen years since the release of their debut album, 'Who Can You Trust', an acclaimed trip-hop blueprint and the root of Morcheeba's universal success and appeal having sold millions of albums worldwide. The album plays hosts to a truly stellar mix of guest features from hip hop legend, Chali 2na (Jurassic 5), rap mogul Nature Boy Jim Kelly, the smoky vocals of James Petralli (White Denim), cheeky UK rhymers, Rizzle Kicks and the fierce French-Chilean rapper, Ana Tijoux who Paul first encountered on hit TV show, 'Breaking Bad'. The diversity of guests on the album is an inarguable accolade to Morcheeba, highlighting the magnitude of their career and influence on artist's whole generations apart.

For years bright CPC light leads the way for artists, inspiration for many DJs and music lovers. Vlad never fails to deliver exceptional quality psychedelic music.

Year after year guru sound trip master presents us with a journey that he already made and highly recommends! Don't be alarmed by the Violence - sound is the beauty and mantra is the sound. It will perfect you and protect you from bad trips and CPC & Friends will show you very colorful and energetic journey! Enjoy the trip! About Vlad CPC: from childhood Vlad was in love with robots. when in Russia/USSR first computers appeared small Vlad did everything in his child power to get it. then to study it. he opened the box, he looked inside for those little gremlins who does all the work. he found none. but he also found out that he can do it himself. Computers understand simple language - programming. Natural language processing turned into writing music for computer games. Later, communication with electronic brains developed into more complex relationship with robots. Vlad fell in love with musical production. All those hardware and Synthesiser devices than can speak on a beautiful musical language! It only needs to be translated it to everyone! And so, simple hobby of musical programming has grown to professional music production that resulted in 3 albums and many, many single tracks released on various record labels. Nowadays, more robots lives in Vlad's apartment. We can be sure Vlad will continue to exhilarate us with his interpretation of robot's language.

The Fiery Furnaces: Eleanor Friedberger, Matthew Friedberger. Additional personnel: Ryan Sawyer (drums).The Fiery Furnaces can be lumped in only very superficially with other early-2000s garage-rock revivalists. Though comprised of a brother/sister duo (as the White Stripes claimed to be) and influenced by post-punk aesthetics, the Fiery Furnaces owe a much deeper debt to the tripped-out rock and pop of mid- to late-1960s. The group's debut, GALLOWSBIRD'S BARK, in fact, sounds like a cross between Jefferson Airplane's expansive song structures, the Seeds' grungy rock, and Paul McCartney's music-hall sing-alongs, all under the influence of Andre Breton's book MANIFESTOS OF SURREALISM. The distinctive sound of GALLOWSBIRD'S BARK is defined by the dominant presence of piano and acoustic guitar (which heighten the charming, carnival-esque atmosphere), as well as lo-fi production and a sonic melange of keyboards, fuzzed-out solos, and frenetic drumming. Moreover, Eleanor and Matthew Friedberger's associative, literate, and witty lyrics set the music apart, as do Eleanor's sly, somewhat naive vocals. The songs veer from shimmery folk-pop ("Tropical Ice-Land") to drone-psych paranoia ("Leaky Tunnel") to absurdist children's anthems ("Inca Rag/Name Game"). In short, the Fiery Furnaces are intelligent, ambitious, unpredictable, fun, catchy, and raucous, and their splendid debut should definitely be heard by those seeking fearlessly adventurous music.

Personnel includes: Roger Wallace (vocals, acoustic guitar); Jim Stringer (acoustic & electric guitars, lap steel, baritone guitar); Marty Muse (pedal steel); Eamon McLoughlin (mandolin, fiddle); T Jarrod Bonta (piano); Lisa Pankratz (drums).Personnel: Roger Wallace (vocals, acoustic guitar); Tim Campbell, Michael Heil (vocals); Jim Stringer (acoustic guitar, electric guitar, lap steel guitar, baritone guitar); Casper Rawls (acoustic guitar); Dave Biller, Derek O'Brien (electric guitar); Cindy Cashdollar (dobro); Eamon McLoughlin (mandolin, fiddle); Brad Fordham (upright bass, electric bass); Lisa Pankratz (drums).Audio Mixers: Derek O'Brien; Roger Wallace; Stuart Sullivan. Liner Note Author: Roger Wallace. Recording information: Arlyn Studio; Digital Doghouse; The Hit Shack; Wire Recording. Photographer: George Brainard. Listening to the opening notes of Roger Wallace's The Lowdown creates something of a time warp. The music sounds like country formed in the tradition of George Jones and Merle Haggard, and one could easily imagine the title track fitting between "Bartender's Blues" and "The Fightin' Side of Me." But the album's credits, along with the clean, bright production, assures the listener that The Lowdown was cut in an up-to-date studio in 2002. On his third album, Wallace and his fellow travelers take a trip back to the 1950s and 1960s to explore a number of country styles. While the lonesome steel guitar of "What Did I Do (The Teardrop Song)" reminds one of a sad Hank Williams tune, "You're a Heavenly Thing" washes the blues away with a bit of Western swing. This eclectic approach keeps The Lowdown from sounding like another retro one-note band trying to fit in with the current alternative country scene. Wallace is a versatile vocalist, offering a resonant baritone on the title cut and smoothing things out a bit for the swinging "Me and Abalina Jane." Wallace's band also sounds great, with guitarist Jim Stringer and steel player Marty Muse spicing up the proceedings. A number of guests also weigh in, with

Personnel: Chris Goss, Josh Homme (guitar); Philip Shepherd (cello, electric cello); Richard File (piano, organ, synthesizer, programming); Cosmic (keyboards); James Book (bass guitar, programming); Dave Henderson (drums); Pablo Clements (programming, background vocals); Chris Allen (programming); Aidan Lavelle, James Lavelle, Soul Children of Chicago (background vocals).Additional personnel: Graham Burris (vocals); Sarah Green, Matthew Santos, Gemstones, Bishop G, Nikki Jean, Pooh Bear, Snoop Dogg, UNKLE. Building on the success of his acclaimed debut, FOOD & LIQUOR, Chi-town representative Lupe Fiasco returns with a concept-themed record, THE COOL. Evenly balancing intelligent lyricism, poetic symbolism, and catchy pop-themed production, Lupe's sophomore effort partially follows the story of the ghetto Everyman, the Cool, in his ever-changing relationship with the Streets and the Game. Still, it's not all high-concept here. Lupe also celebrates the spoils of superstar glamour on the catchy single, "Superstar," and the travel-fantasy track, "Paris, Tokyo," and enters more experimental territory with the help of British trip-hop act, U.N.K.L.E. on "Hello/Goodbye (Uncool)." THE COOL features production work from Soundtrakk, Chris & Drop, Patrick Stump, and Chris Goss, among others, as well as guest appearances by Sarah Green, GemStones, Pooh Bear, Nikki Jean, Bishop G, Graham Burris, Unkle, Matthew Santos, and Snoop Dogg.

Audio Mixers: John Leventhal; Rick DePofi. Recording information: NY Noise, New York, NY; Swamp Raga Studios, Jacksonville, FL; Thompson Station, TN. Photographers: Clay Patrick McBride; Josh Johnson. Arranger: John Leventhal. Nearly eight years after Rosanne Cash last released a set of original songs, 2014's The River & the Thread finds her in a reflective mood, and just as 2009's The List saw her looking back with a set of classic songs recommended by her father, the late country legend Johnny Cash, The River & the Thread is dominated by thoughts and emotions that occurred to her as she was involved in a project to restore Johnny's boyhood home. This doesn't mean that Cash has returned to the spunky, country-accented sound of her most popular work - this is still Rosanne Cash the mature and thoughtful singer/songwriter we've come to know since the late '90s, and the tone of this album is unfailingly literate. But though this music isn't country, it's certainly Southern, and road trips from Alabama to Tennessee, visits to the Tallahatchie Bridge and Money Street, and vintage gospel music on the radio embroider these songs as Cash immerses herself in the places that were once close to home as if she's reuniting with long lost family. And two of the songs cut especially close to home - "Etta's Tune" was written in memory of Marshall Grant, a longtime family friend and member of Johnny Cash's band, while "When the Master Calls the Roll" is a tale of love torn apart during the Civil War that Cash wrote in collaboration with her former husband Rodney Crowell and current spouse John Leventhal - and they rank with the best material on the album, genuine and heartfelt, and written and performed with a genuine passion that never sinks into sentimental histrionics. Just as Cash's songs are crafted with a subtle intelligence, her vocals here are superb, getting to the heart of the lyrics without painting herself into a corner, and the production is rich but elegant and to the point. Rosanne Cash hasn't been especially prol

Personnel: Kimmy Drake (vocals, guitar); Alan Gabay (organ); Skyler Black (drums).Audio Mixer: Jim Diamond. Recording information: The Dungeon, North Miami, FL; The Living Room, Atlanta, GA. Photographer: Monica McGivern. Beach Day is another in a long line of bands looking to dig up the bones of the girl groups of the early '60s and give them some new life. The list is too long to even get started on here, but let's just say many have tried and relatively few have succeeded. The Florida trio's first album, Trip Trap Attack, is a noble effort that gets them about 95 percent of the way to success. Subtract the dozy ballad that sucks up way too much oxygen and stops the album dead in its tracks, and a punchy little album full of super-hooky songs, pleasantly scuffed and simple musical backing, and Kimmy Drake's powerful vocals is left. It really takes off on the peppy rockers like "Boys," "A Little Weird," and the handclappy "Beach Day," where the bandmembers bop and skip along happily, snapping their gum and daring the boys to keep up. They also show a little versatility by giving Northern soul a shot and nailing it dead on "Stay," trying out some bopping new wave melancholy on the very Josie Cotton-sounding track "Am I the Only One," and showing some admirable depth and soul on midtempo tracks like "Walking on the Streets" and "Wasting All My Time." Jim Diamond's reverby but clean production really helps these songs stick hard and the simple guitar-bass-drums lineup keeps things well grounded. Unfortunately, Beach Day aren't as good when they slow it way down on "Seventeen," which lays the schmaltz on a bit too thick and gets perilously close to bar band territory. Things are much better on the album's other ballad, "Come Back to Me," which is much less predictable and features some excellent guitar work by Drake. Apart from that one stumble, Trip Trap Attack is a really strong record that sounds made for the beach, but also for anytime you want a blast of nostalgia that's not too musty and has some modern kick.

Critically acclaimed guitarist Laurence. The original guitar music on the debut album 'A Story Without Words' is of such perfect production and creativity that it rivals the work of Ottmar Liebert and Jesse Cook. All the new flamenco and neo-classical tunes by Laurence are outstanding. Highly recommended. - Rene'e Gelpi, Galaxie CBC. About my music, or as I like to refer to it; an ethnic rhythmic stew: I have played many styles of music over the years but kept returning to acoustic based music. It wasn't until a trip to South America that I really started to hear the dynamic energy of the music that was created on acoustic nylon string guitar. The music I was exposed to, with its percussive pulsing rhythms, absolutely thrilled me. I knew I wanted to incorporate this into my own writing. It was from that experience that I researched artists and study material and the process is still on going. About Technology After being exposed to the recording studio I developed a love-hate relationship with the recording process.(there have been more than a few times that I was wondering if my 17 inch monitor would fit through my 22 inch studio window). I am however grateful for the fact, that with the advancement of technology, you can create whatever your mind can conceive. That is a very powerful position for any artist to be in. In the end I love the process. Having the tools to record, as you create, cannot be beaten. While I'm in the creative process the world seems full of infinite possibilities. About the CD 'a story without words' The music on my latest CD 'a story without words' is truly a hybrid of many styles and influences. It is an instrumental acoustic guitar based CD that uses a modified flamenco technique to create percussion and strong pulsing rhythms. I like to refer to it as an ethnic rhythmic stew. I have always been drawn to music that makes me travel either geographically or historically. This music music that will take you on an exhilarating journey to the beaches of Cuba, Spain, Brazil as well as to
