Il trio originario, The Blue Velvets, costituito da John Fogerty, Cook e Clifford, si forma nel 1959 a El Cerrito, California. Reclutato Tom Fogerty, a metà degli anni '60 la band firma per la Fantasy Records, che cambia il nome del gruppo in The Golliwogs, con riferimento a Golliwog, un pupazzo-menestrello di un libro per bambini. Vengono pubblicati sette singoli, tra cui Brown Eyed Girl, che tuttavia non ricevono alcuna attenzione da parte del pubblico. Nel 1967 la band cambia nome in Creedence Clearwater Revival. John Fogerty diventa il vero leader del gruppo, scrivendo la maggior parte delle musiche e...

Gli East Of Eden si sono formati nel 1967 e furono pubblicati dalla Decca Records nel 1969. Possono definirsi una coraggiosa avanguardia del cosidetto progressive ecletico o esotico per una musica ricca di influenze jazz, rock, canterbury e blues, il tutto condito con venature hard. La loro particolarità peraltro è l'utilizzo dei cosidetti sassofoni sumeri e la registrazione di nastri al contrario. Ma è soprattutto il violino di Arbus che tiene banco negli Est Of Eden. La loro produzione si concentra essenzialmente nel periodo d'oro del rock progressivo. Dopo i primi tre lavori, quando la band inizia a intravedere il...

A lot of things are different about EDEN CIRCUS. Being around for some years already, the quintet still focused on practicing in the rehearsal room to improve its skills in songwriting and defining its sound. With a clear direction, the musicians went the next step eventually and started playing live along with Nihiling, Zen Zebra, Galaxy Space Man, and Panama Picture. EDEN CIRCUS wanted to make sure to progress musically and to be ready to record a first album. Marula can be characterized to be post-metal, or post-rock, or prog. You also will find some reminiscence of nineties alternative. However,...

Tooth & Nail Records was born in 1993 and Wish For Eden will always be known as the first band to release an album on this wonderful label. Pet the Fish is a very simplistic album lyrically and musically, but many who were into Nirvana, Alice in Chains, and Soundgarden were fond of it when it released.The California three-piece, Wish For Eden, made their debut on Tooth & Nail Records with this record. "Pet The Fish" is hard and heavy – and flits happily somewhere between pop, punk, and grunge. Hard to imagine, right? That's because this music was avant-garde...

Martin Eden is a recording alias of Portland-based musician Matthew Cooper, best known for his work as Eluvium. Under this moniker Cooper has released a full-length album Dedicate Function and a seven-inch single "Worker," both via Lefse Records in 2012. This project, unlike the classical-imbued ambience of Eluvium, relies heavily on synthesizers and drum programming and as such is more clearly indebted to Warp mainstays Aphex Twin, Boards of Canada, and Squarepusher, in addition to The Field and Kraftwerk. Having since shifted focus back to his Eluvium project, it is unknown if Cooper will again operate under the Martin Eden...
