Wax Poetics celebrates its 10th anniversary with a stylish redesign. "In December of 2001, Wax Poetics debuted its first issue to a small following of record collectors and 'beat diggers.' Ten years later, Wax Poetics has carved out a niche for itself in the world of music journalism and expanded its audience to a worldwide congregation of music lovers. Issue 50 marks our ten-year anniversary and does so with one of the most iconic musicians in the history of African American music, the one and only Prince." On the back cover: Frank Ocean. Also in this issue: Larry Graham, Morris Day, Toro y Moi, DJ Quick Record Rundown, Blood Orange, Questlove on Prince, Jesse Johnson, Madhouse, The Family, Grand Central, and 94 East Re:Discovered.

"Like all great music, the score to Red Dead Redemption is grounded in history but bold enough to reach beyond the limitations of style. An update on the classic Western soundtrack, and created specifically for the Rockstar game of the same name, Red Dead Redemption has expanded the palette founded by folks like Ennio Morricone and Bruno Nicolai to include reggae beats, booming rock bass lines, and guitars that cut like a knife. The Wild West has never sounded so wild. Composed by Bill Elm and Woody Jackson, who previously worked together in the band Friends of Dean Martinez, and produced by David Holmes (Out of Sight, the Ocean's Eleven trilogy), Red Dead Redemption accompanies the exploits of one John Marston, a former outlaw on the trail of the same criminals he once ran with. The sounds of the early twentieth century American West are all in place -- jaw harps, harmonicas, whistling, violins -- but they're enhanced by heavy, heavy drums, and Fender Rhodes piano. One thing's for certain: this isn't your father's Western soundtrack. It's yours. And it's brought to life by a crew of daring West Coast musicians. Besides Jackson on guitars and Elm on keyboards, violinist Petra Haden, Beck drummer Joey Waronker, and actor/musician Jason Schwartzman are all along for the ride, among many others -- including harmonica legend Tommy Morgan, who recorded on the soundtracks to classic Westerns like Hang 'Em High and High Plains Drifter. So Red Dead Redemption is a mix of timely and timeless. A marriage of the old and the new."

"The sounds of Africa have taken multi-instrumentalist Chico Mann -- aka Marcos García -- all over the world. So it's fitting that on Analog Drift, his second album and first for Wax Poetics Records, he's returning the favor. Over the course of twelve thumping, impossibly soulful songs, including a cover of Talking Heads' 'Once in a Lifetime,' Chico Mann introduces the rhythms and guitarisms of Afrobeat to the music of Cuba, the Latin freestyle flavors of 1980s New York and Miami, and the synth-heavy electro beats of dance floors across the globe. 'I've spent years learning to speak Afrobeat, albeit with a Cuban accent,' García says. 'What I do is engage Afrobeat in conversation with Afro-Cuban funk, while electro and freestyle set the stage. I'm employing several dialects to make a larger musical statement. They're all branches of the same tree.' And that's exactly what Analog Drift is: a statement. It's saying something. At a time when most artists are blowing smoke in your face, García is blowing soul in your face. Not to mention truth and feeling. Songs like the searching 'Mentirosos' and the reflective 'Hay Que Correr' are guaranteed to get right to the heart of your matter; plus, synthy rumpshakers like 'Anima' and 'All That Is Rising' have been proven to get you movin'. So García's music is good for your mind and behind. And it's always real. The total package. But García says it best himself, on 'Go to that Place': 'If you want it you can have it / If you want it, you can take it, you can grab it.' So go out and get what you want, and let Chico Mann provide the soundtrack."
