RECORDS / The IoS Playlist: The five best sounds of the moment
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.Lutoslawski: Symphonies 3 & 4. Los Angeles Philharmonic / Salonen (Sony, CD only). Confirmation that Lutoslawski is an alluring symphonist, Los Angeles a world-class orchestra, and Salonen one of the finest younger MDs in the business. Michael White
Sinead O'Connor: Universal Mother (Ensign, CD/tape/ LP). An exquisite, exhausting, emotional documentary. NB
Bryan Ferry: Mamouna (Virgin, CD/tape). Ten new songs, done with the greatest of difficulty, but you wouldn't know: five of them are models of deluxe R&B (see under Dave Stewart, above). Tim de Lisle
The Prodigy: Voodoo People (XL, single). The flute is funky] Ben Thompson
Diamanda Galas with John Paul Jones: The Sporting Life (Mute, CD/LP/tape). Avant-garde diva and Led Zeppelin bass-player make homicidal soul together. BT
