Rage Against the Machine's new album, The Battle of Los Angeles (Epic), is a landmark not only because it's an exhilarating mix of hip-hop and hard rock, but also because it's a winning fusion of loud music and intelligence. This is music that bounces like a gangsta rapper's lowrider, snarls like Nine Inch Nails, and yet speaks out on issues with insurgent eloquence. In the early '90s, bands like Nirvana played loud, punkish music that thoughtfully expressed their alienation. Today, novelty acts like Blink 182 play loud, dumb music proudly, and the gap between...
Still, Santana and Davis agreed that there was very little Santana needed to change. His lightning finger work and exquisitely formed fusion of blues, Hendrix-style guitar fireworks and Afro-Latin rhythms remain fresh. The key was coaxing a new generation of record buyers to discover a musician whose early hits are probably collecting dust in their parents' vinyl collections...
What you missed: disco-folk fusion, sweet trombone playing, a funked-out "In the Mood" and good Irish beer. The Humming rocked The Burren, a traditional pub in Davis Square, last Thursday night, outgrooving the Irish band in the next room and sending fans crowding into the street for an acappella encore of "Happy Trails."

...Venice, Paris, and Kyoto all at once. The cultured atmosphere and fine dining cannot be matched by any other venue, as every Phoenix member is in training to become a gourmet chef. Though each member has a regional specialty, ideas flow as easily as the Pinot Grigio and fusion is the norm. It is not atypical to hear, "I'm trying a cilantro boeuf glazed with a light sherry and Napa Asparagus. Can you make sure that flank we selected is kosher?" The Phoenix does not accept reservations for groups under...
...took it to hell), instant knees-up anthem "Yo-Yo" and totally berzerk "Jump N' Shout," all of which were lauded with cries and sky-jabs from the crowd. This is, after all, the stuff that won them love when they were still underground. Felix's love for latin fusion, jazz rock and New York house were all there, slapped with Simon Face of Stone's sleight-of-hand technical leaning and wedged in everywhere with disco, ragga, R&B, Chicago house, techno, jungle, flamenco, breakbeat, punk, garage and all their lovely bastard crossbreeds. It was a musical food fight...
