About Tommy Knocker
Tommy Knocker started playing bass in a London-based rock band before getting involved in jazz, inspired by prominent contemporary musicians. Captivated by the music rooted in the African-American traditions, Tommy Knocker attended jazz classes at the Chicester College. In 1993, he turned to dance music while experimenting with electronic sounds. Beeswax released his first EP and later Intercom Recordings signed him up. In August 2002, his track "All for Love" reached the U.K. Top 40 Dance Singles and Albums. ~ Drago Bonacich, All Music Guide

The Holy Pictures David Holmes |
| Four years in the making, since venturing into the rugged rock-jazz-blues arena with The Free Association; to prepare his fourth proper album David Holmes has put aside Hollywood commitments that began as the soundtrack composer for Steven Sorderbergh movies and has nearly become Holmes main activity as forthcoming soundtracks for the Bobby Sands biopic "Hunger" and "Five Minutes of Heaven" undeniably prove. "The holy pictures" is named after the pub his father was a regular of and conceived as a tribute to the city of Belfast and its people. On it our favourite North Irish DJ gives another lecture on eclecticism and takes a 180 degree turn towards the trendy road where shoegazing and krautrock meet. Next to his cinematic instrumentals, the main surprise here is Holmes singing for the first time, in a not too different manner to Jesus & Mary Chain's Jim Reid. Best example is the first single "I heard wonders", helped by Martin Rev, one half of 70s icons Suicide. Other highlights include the closing track "The Ballad Of Jack and Sarah" dedicated to his parents. Altogether, is a beautiful and rewarding record; his most personal to date. | |
