Trevor Tanner (formerly of The Bolshoi) created 100% of the content on Eaten By The Sea solely on his own (no other musicians contributed). The creation of this release took Tanner four years of diving deep within himself to uncover new glittery treasure, a colossal voyage that was truly a necessity and now offers fans something 'Melodic & Masterful' - Chester Von Magneto - a sonically spectacular trip through every corner of Tanner's prodigious mind.

  British & Irish Music Bloggers - Updated via Shared Google Reader Widget

Bloglines has been down this evening, so this is an opportune moment to introduce a new project that I am developing.

I have created a shared public folder via Google Reader [Google Reader - Music Blogosphere via martin] for British & Irish Music bloggers. I am also displaying new updates from these blogs on my Blogger Template via a widget.

Qualification:

* British music bloggers [England, Northern Ireland, Scotland, Wales]
* Irish music bloggers [Republic of Ireland]
* I will also include music blogs from Isle of Man or Channel Islands [Guernsey or Jersey] if they exist!

* British or Irish music bloggers living abroad [e.g Simon Reynolds in USA]

* I will also include British Isles - based music bloggers of other nationalities.

* I have also included some RSS feeds of British / Irish music websites and music retailers.

Why have I created this?

1: the music blogosphere is dominated by Americans so this updating list will give increased prominence to British & Irish music bloggers.

2: fresh content, there will be new content / updates to read when you visit this blog.

3: I previously developed something similar using Kinja, however that service closed down in April 2008. [info: Kinja - Wikipedia]

These are the music blogs that are included on the Google Reader shared public page at the mo:

The third album from these two excellent musicians was recorded live at various European venues, although the high level of musicianship, focus on detail and high recording quality could easily lead you to think it would be a meticulously assembled studio recording. With ”Rest At Worlds End” the duo continue their adventurous explorations of abstract grooves and atmospheric moods. But don´t expect any live versions of previous studio tracks, these are all brand new tracks, 11 on the CD and 18 on the limited double LP edition.

Ståle Storløkken is a founder member of Supersilent, Elephant9 and Terje Rypdal´s Skywards and is probably the most interesting and versatile electric keyboard player operating on the Norwegian scene at the moment.
