"Zippo Songs is a collection of deeply

lighters of American GIs during the Vietnam war. Kline has set these
profound and often desperate poems with a calm and sacred spaciousness
that echoes through the listener as if the soldiers themselves are
singing to us from the afterlife. Coupled with songs set too texts by
current US Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, Zippo Songs is Kline's
fascinating and eloquent statement on war and politics of war, and a
fresh and new take on the age-old tradition of the protest song."

The Rephlex label has released a new Grime
compilation. As the press sheet reads,
"First major compilation of this
breaking new UK underground scene. Post-drum'n'bass, way-post-UK-Garage,
'Grime' is intense and mindblowing ... 'Grime. Sublow. Dubstep. It's
Music. Different people call it different things, depending on when they
discovered it. In the 80's, maybe it was House, Techno and Electro. In
the 90's it was UK-G, Drum and Bass, Breaks or whatever. Now there are
so many terms for it that the journalists can't pigeon-hole it any more.
This is a good thing -- it's music. Moody music, multifunctional,
multifaceted music created by Humans with Brains, Hearts, Machines &
Electricity. Music that's great for dancing to in clubs, or submerging
yourself within your headphones, your car, your home, wherever. It's
instrumental dance music, but it's the perfect forum for the best MC's
and vocalists. We at Rephlex call it Grime to publicize to the people at
large, outside of the specialist world of its producers. The purists
might debate the name, but while they do that, crews around the globe
are uniting in this strong & fresh dance movement. In this age of
Information Technology, people are able to easily find real quality that
they actually want, without being spoon-fed compromised product. Now, it
is a time of change and the soundtrack is Grime.'"
