The Huntingtons
The Huntingtons debut album "Sweet Sixteen" was released in 1996 by Flying Tart Records. A few months later, their first attempt at recording Ramones covers, entitled "Rocket to Ramonia" saw limited release via the Burnt Toast Vinyl label. At this point the band added a second guitarist, Tom Rehbein (later in Small Towns Burn a Little Slower). After working with producer Mass Giorgini for the band's next album, "Fun and Games", Tom was replaced by Brad Ber. After the album's release in mid-1997, the band started touring and gained a cult following. Their big break came in 1998, when they signed to Tooth & Nail Records and released "High School Rock".
Lifetracks
Lifetracks is the debut solo album by British electronica artist Tom Middleton, released in the UK on October 1, 2007 and the US on November 6, 2007 (see 2007 in music). The title is a reference to representing different places, times, and people in the artist's life. The majority of songs on the album have appeared on compilations over the last ten years, under the moniker AMBA, which was Middleton's previous ambient project. The song "Shinkansen" refers to the Japanese bullet train of the same name. The song "St. Ives Bay" refers to an area in the artist's home region of Cornwall, England. Tom Middleton is notable for building a worldwide reputation as one of the most eclectic DJs on the dance music scene. He started his career in the early 1990s as the partner of Richard D. James, better known as Aphex Twin, then branched out on his own to form the electronica duo Global Communication, among others with fellow musician Mark Pritchard.
