Lou Reed’s Berlin (12A)
The Herald (Free subscription) | yesterday
Released in 1973, Lou Reed’s tale of addicts down and out in Berlin was labelled one of the most depressing albums in rock history. Stung by the reception, the Velvet Underground legend never performed the piece live – until December 2006.

Musical social commentary lands cool, calm, direct punch
Philadelphia Inquirer (Free subscription) | yesterday
NEW YORK - Laurie Anderson's relationship with mainstream pop music has always been offhand: Sure, she'll traffic in that world if it suits what she has to say. And if not? The 1980s new-wave music that first made her famous couldn't have been further away amid the lush, multimedia imagery of Songs and Stories From Moby Dick, or the more-literary-than-musical End of the Moon.

First Night: Moby, Mono Café, Glasgow threestar
The Independent (Free subscription) | 07/23/2008
In many ways, Moby is the perfect modern recording artist, although that's not a judgement that translates so readily when applied to his art. No, the New York DJ and producer signalled the way ahead for music almost a decade ago, and it was nothing to do with his own sound. In 1999, Moby (Richard Melville Hall) released the album Play, and the world exploded around him.
