Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The co-founder of beardie Norwegian prog-meisters Jaga Jazzist presents his second album (following 'Pooka' from 2004), and it's a belter.
Recorded in a church in Riga with the Latvian National Orchestra conducted by Terje Mikkelsen, 'Kaleidoscopic' is one continuous 37-minute piece that develops slowly from pastoral strings into a gradually developing soundscape that recalls Disney or John Williams' film scores, Mike Oldfield's 'Tubular Bells' and Steve Reich's early ECM work.
Pick of the album: There's only one track, but the first 10 minutes sets the scene
