De-Luxe: Cherry Red Chronicles The Sound of Shoegaze On "Still in a Dream" Box Set
Noise-rock, dream-pop, post-punk, drone-rock, neo-psychedelia...all of these musical subgenres and more became components of the shoegaze sound.

Slip Away: Ace Reissues, Expands Two Albums From Soul Legend Clarence Carter
As 2000 ushered in a new millennium, it also reintroduced the soulful voice of Clarence Carter on Cameron Crowe's Grammy-winning soundtrack to Almost Famous.

This is not to say that Carter is the only R&B artist found in the film proper. On the contrary, Stevie Wonder's "My Cherie Amour" was masterfully used
