Musicians: M
Bryan MacLEAN
Although Arthur Lee gets most of the credit, he would have been nothing (and unfortunately, Arthur has been somewhat mediocre post-”Forever Changes” Love). The true songwriting talent of the band was Bryan, who tragically died a few years ago after poisoning himself on alcohol and other substances. Still, he has the honor of writing one of my favorite songs of all time, “Alone Again Or.”

MAMA|MILK
This has to be about the sexiest experimental music I’ve ever heard. From their Myspace site: Mama!milk is a acoustic-instrumental duo with an accordion player Yuko Ikoma and a contra bass player Kosuke Shimizu. Yuko Ikoma laces gorgeous and mysterious melodies by her beautiful fingers and Kosuke Shimizu built, various beats from deep down to up. Based in Kyoto, Mama!milk have been performing since 1997 around Japan at various venues like gallery, temple, theater, botanical garden, museum and cafe-lounge. Their music has been described as “Japanese New Exotica”, “music like SUMI-E (black ink painting)” or “Cinema for Ears”. Live performances are made by just the two of them. But they play together with the air, the room surrounding and blend it into their music and have a high reputation among their audiences. On their recording, they like to work with a lot of guest musicians and have gained acknowledgment. Currently they are working on “meets” series which is a collaboration album with various musicians whom mama!milk have got to know through their performances and friendship. They play domestically or internationally for other musicians recording as guest player. In addition to producing music for theaters and films, they also have played on other musicians recording as guest musicians…
