Long Walk Home: Music From The Rabbit-Proof Fence
by Peter Gabriel
June 18, 2002
Philip Noyce's period film about Austrialia's Aboriginal people, "Rabbit Proof Fence," serves as the inspiration for Peter Gabriel's return to recording for only the second time since 1992's 'Us.' Gabriel turns to Aboriginal music throughout the album, but don't expect any true "songs" from this work, which consists chiefly of longer, moody, instrumental pieces with a world music flavor. |

Yeah Yeah Yeahs [EP]
by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
July 9, 2002
One of 2002's much-hyped neo-garage rock bands, New York's Yeah Yeah Yeahs have opened for acts such as the White Stripes and the Strokes, and have drawn comparisons to both. This five-track debut EP was originally released in 2001 on the indie Shifty label, and saw a rerelease in the summer of 2002 on Touch & Go. |

Southern Hummingbird
by Tweet
April 2, 2002
The former backup singer for Missy Elliott and Timbaland comes into her own on this, her debut album, which was produced and co-written by her two benefactors. Tweet's presence and talent are evidenced by the surprising abundance of guitar/soul tracks here, instead of a reliance on electronic/dance numbers typical of a Missy-Timbaland production. |
