In 2008 while Isobella was off on a jaunt around the world Aaron and jack formed Stone Turner to keep them occupied during her absence and enlisted the help of a number of other UK underground and 'Stoner Rock' musicians for a number of experimental jams and gigs. Once Isobella returned last April Stubb picked up where they left off for a short time before Aarron moved on to fresh pastures . The band is still showing promise with Jack , as always, proving to be a prog rock wizard on guitar and new rhythm and Ginger Baker styled beats being provided by 'Peace Shiek'. The Stone Turner experiment is still going strong (though still a little shaky on the vocals) with the track 'Gypsy' showing all the promise of 'The Dropout Sessions'. A dvd is in the offing so keep your eyes and ears out for more of the 21st century 'taste' of raw and roucous rock at....

  Speaking of 'StoneTurners' , we turned over a few stones recently and discovered an enourmous slab of rock in the form of another 'Turner' whose first name is 'Rus'. If you're a fan of Pink Floyd, Peter Gabriel, or even Rush and like to lose yourself by bathing your soul deeply in the vast depths of expanded, intricate and intimate phases of musical brilliance then the music of Russ Turner is the perfect place to gleefully drown. From Southampton in the UK, Rus may be familiar to some as being a name previously linked to a few former multi national Ozric Tentacles.
  What you may not know is that Rus is a multi talented professional musician and sound technician who originaly played every single instument on his latest album, mixing and engineering the entire project as a truly 'solo' solo artist ( before later borrowing another former 'Ozric' for a spot of drumming). It has also been rumoured that prior to recording he managed to have a sneaky hand transplant after kidnapping the limbs of David Gilmour. It seems that the basis for this rumour lies in the stunning solos found throughout the new album and most notably on the title track entitled 'Breaking The Silence' - though anyone who knows of his skill will be able to reassure you that his guitar playing has always been this good. The other rumour about him stealing the vocal chords of Peter Gabriel however, may ( after carefully listening to the track 'into the fire') just have a slight glimmer of truth in it. One thing we do know is that Rus can match some of the greatest bands in history for musical composition and he is looking for like minded and gifted musicians to join him when he takes his outstanding sound on tour. Our link to view for the musical brilliance of Rus Turner are at his special Ultradimensional site.
Ultradimension also contains his ultradimensionaly multi genred collection of musical
masterpieces from the last decade ..a must for trance fans too!!

 Liverpool... A name synonymous with the birth of the British Beat movement and the Beatles, it's history has been filled with many influences from all corners of the globe in the last milenium and it is often referred to as a Dublin Suberb on both sides of the Irish sea . In fact, when the Beat movement and 'Northern soul' started to take hold in the sixties there was alot of two way trafficing of influences, Liverpool had the famous Cavern Club birthing many of the era's beat bands, while Dublin had the 'Tara Telephone ' movement founded by Peter Fallon ( later of T-Rex and John Lennon's Yoko Ono band) and Eamon Carr (later of Horslips -on Rock Cornerstone one) whose publications were sought out by many of both cities beat poets and musicians (John Lennon even submitted a few of his works throughout the sixties). When the Beatles exploded into the world of music and began to be persued by hordes of screaming girls with scenes that hadn't been seen on earth since the days of King David (arguably the worlds first superstar celebrity figure in 1000AD) Liverpool became the very centre of attention in the world of music. But once the Beetles split it seemed that a musical vacum appeared over the city and many talented musicians were left out in the cold purely because they were Liverpudlian's but not the Beatles. ( A similar story affected Dublin in the late eighties and nineties in the vacume left by U2 once America became their main home). Let's face it, if you say youre in a band from Liverpool no one wants to take you seriously in the UK...But things are looking up for the cities bands. New festivals have sprung up over the last 24 months to highlight the cities talents, abilities and creativities...and it is among these new bands that we discovered the best set of songwriters and composers to come out of Liverpool for the last forty years. Their name is The Majority and they have written some of the best songs to have emmerged from the UK in the last eighteen months with lyrics that show a much deeper level of maturity and understanding than ever expected from such a young band. It takes years of hardships and life experiance for most people to be able to write and think with such a depth - which itself can only be a testament to the bands abilities, integrity and experiance.Liverpool can be taken seriously by the music industry again and The Majority are the proof of it. If you do just one thing over the next few months make sure it's buying their new single and album due out from August 08...they're not just the best Liverpool band touring and recording at the moment, but the best from England and the whole of the UK. WHATEVER YOU DO - DON'T MISS THEM ! These moving songs and lyrics will wrap themselves around every fibre of your being and again there's a depth of character here thats almost unheard of in much of the music world, so see and hear it all for yourself on the jukebox below and on their MySpace page.. Sooner or Later you'll wish you'd bought the album... .

  *The majority have ceased touring as a band but are still active on the MySpace page where, if youre lucky, you still may be able to find their album and plenty of extras! Hopefully -if enough people buy the album- someone might even be able to talk them into reforming and touring again!! Though I dare say that there'll be plenty of new ventures to look forward to by all the former members soon.
