Kings Lynn, UK - Wright views himself as an explorer, whose goal is to find undiscovered songwriting territory, to create lasting art in the 21st century. Part of his vision is to express freedom in its multitude of forms. His songs reflect his soul, moving from deeply profound, spiritual lyrics to about rage and anger. "If only every one of us could hold one idea foremost in our minds, we might progress beyond violence & greed: we are one. We are not separated from each other, but united by the same source."

1. Micro Prophet

Ottawa, CA - "Watch Em Come (BOTNEK Remix)" is pretty hot.. nasty.. prowls at you to be fed with insatiable rhythmic electro funk. It's a no-nonsense remix which is cleverly produced and beats conventional dance music. This is what I like.

2. Bob Pruitt

Greenfield, MA, US - Nothing much can be gathered about Bob Pruitt, but the song "My Father Is" has such a chilling reverence for God in Christian-folk music style. The song partially acts like a Hymn, and sounding modern at the same time - something I've never listened before.

3. Breakdown

LA, US - The brothers, Josh & Matt are remix combo called 'Breakdown', creating electronic music that has been reaching great success in the past few years. "We started working together, since I had a lot of experience going through music to DJ, I could point out what wasn't in the right place, and then Matt, with experience on the engineering side, could fix it," says Josh. Their music reflects that they are serious artistes, and in no time, I believe they will call the attention of much bigger acts. A solid remix, one that most Dj's would definitely like.

Phoenix, AZ, US - I played the guitar for several blues, rock & Christian bands years ago. Then I had to take 12 years off with no guitar at all. You see, both of my arms have been ripped off by Alien beings after I tried to help them when their spaceship crash landed. Then they picked up my arms off the ground and slapped the heck out of me with my own hands.

Well, needless to say I was traumatized.. I mean, how was I suppose to use the TV remote control now? Then one day, I was twiddling with my imaginary thumb and thought how cool it would be to play the guitar again - when suddenly to my surprise, I felt a tingling in my shoulders. To my utter amazement, my arms started growing back. My son, David, seeing I had arms gave me a Les Paul and I was hooked again.
