Since their inception, Florida's Underoath has evolved from a mine run Christian metalcore band into a mobile, dynamic, and energized rock mathematical grouping that adeptly blends affective strain, charged punk john Rock rhythm method, and low-set, engaging tail end end. Underoath formed in 1998 in vocalizer Dallas Taylor's bedroom. Within a yr, the group -- with guitar player Tim McTague, drummer Aaron Gillespie, and keyboardist Christopher Dudley -- had inked a make do with Alabama's Takehold book label. In July 1999, Underoath released the six-song Act of Depression CD, which sold over 2,000 copies. The five-song Cries of the Past followed a yr after, selling over 3,000 copies.


In 2002, Takehold commissioned all of its bands and releases to Seattle's Tooth & Nail/Solid State label. Underoath gain the studio and recorded the ten songs that would represent their first record album below the unexampled partnership, suitably titled The Changing of Times. Taylor suddenly left the group in the middle of 2003's Warped Tour, going distressed fans contemplating the band's unsealed future. Underoath -- which as well included bassist Grant Brandell and guitar player James Smith -- continued on, however, recruitment ex-This Runs Through member Spencer Chamberlain as their new vocalizer.


A year later, the young lineup released They're Only Chasing Safety and supported it on the road with bands like Thrice, the Bled, Hopesfall, and Fear Before the March of Flames. A limited edition of the album was succeeding released in fall down 2005 that included four fillip tracks; touring continued with a spring 2006 headlining term of enlistment aboard Poison the Well, As Cities Burn, and others. Deciding to stick with Tooth & Nail rather of jump to a major label, the sextette showcased significant increment and maturity date on their future cause, Define the Great Line, issued in June 2006.


A heavier, more emotional album than the prison-breaking success of 2004's Chasing Safety, the criminal record sold close to hundred,000 copies in only its first base hebdomad of release and was certified gold by the year's end. Embraced by fans and critics alike -- considered the band's masterpiece by many -- the grouping supported it on Warped's main stage that summer. But with a month of dates leftover, tensions inside Underoath's ranks on the spur of the moment came to a point, causing them to shake off sour the traveling fete. Rumors swirled of their impendent separation, merely the guys remained adamant that a much-needed break was simply due to sort things kO'd. They proved themselves by returning in 2006 with Specify the Great Line. Climbing all the way to number two, the record album became the highest-charting Christian album on The Billboard two hundred since 1997 when LeAnn Rimes took the number unmatchable touch with You Light Up My Life.

Damon Albarn, Monkey: Journey To The West

Anyone wHO was convinced that this was the year of the rat must, by now, be realising that, in fact, the animate being that's making 2008 its own is the monkey. In 2007, Damon Albarn and graphical artist brother, Jamie Hewlett - the men in arrears Gorillaz - premiered their latest outside-the-box project: Monkey: Journey To The West, and it's been wowing the critics ever since. Combining Hewlett's distinctive comic book style, circus acrobatics and Mandarin Operatics, it's amazingly reaching knocked out to common people for whom even Gilbert and Sullivan is a stretch. But how does the soundtrack fare without the stupefying visuals?



Everyone who has seen the two-minute animated ident for the BBC's Olympic coverage will cause a pretty good theme what to expect: Bubbly analogue synth arpeggios, seraphic Chinese vocals and a whole embarrassment of Eastern instrumentation combined with Western dance tropes. Pretty much like Albarn's other late project, The Good The Bad And The Queen, this intrepid mixture crataegus oxycantha look unbelievable on paper, but in the shape it makes for a delightfully offbeam delight. The mixture veers widely from Cantonese pop via totalitarian overkill (The Dragon King, March Of The Iron Army) to electronica (Monkey Bee) and dissonant musique concrete (Tripitaka's Curse). True enough, every once in a while Damon's older work pops up, as on the Gorillaz-like O Mi To Fu, but, surprisingly, some of the most successful stuff here is the straight forwards, brass-led classical work like The White Skeleton Demon or the closing Disappearing Volcano. It seems Albarn really is a proper musician.



Only on rare occasions do you get the feeling that the duo are cultural tourists. One suspects that Heavenly Peach Banquet was dredged from Albarn's boyhood TV habits watching The Water Margin (a keen fantasy kung fu serial whose base tune was equally sweetly naff). And Battle In Heaven's mesmerically repeated string loops that slowly lapse into bloodcurdling dissonance recreate the wobbly degradation of a worn out kung fu film soundtrack.



What is odd is considering just how widely bought this oddment will be. One suspects that just about 50 percent on extend will not prove to be on the majority's repeat playlists. But Monkey represents a really levelheaded and successful attempt to fuse East and West in new ways. And for that alone it is a triumph.
