Led by Beck saxophonist David Brown, Brazzaville's extraterrestrial, globally minded indie pop was as much a product of Brown's broad travels as it was the Los Angeles coffee shop view from whence most of its members came. Born in L.A., Brown had been a teenage fugitive and heroin addict in front cleansing up and finding a new take on sprightliness from his sexual love of travel the earthly concern on the cheap. He crisscross Europe, South America, and Asia, pick up melodious influences from the Far East, Brazil (bossa nova and Tropicalia), Africa, and France (nighttime club pop), among others. Eventually, he returned to California, where he studied the sax at L.A. City College. There he first met Beck, and was introduced to a community of artists and musicians centered some the Los Feliz/Silver Lake area of L.A. When Beck tally the big time, he tapped Brown as the saxist in his touring band, and invited him to play on the Odelay album.In 1997, during the human race tour encouraging Odelay, Brown conceived the mind for Brazzaville, taking the diagnose from the working upper-case letter of the Congo, which in a recent go had been branded with the worst timber of liveliness of whatsoever major urban gist in the world. Brown added guitar to his implemental repertoire (which grew to permit in piano, trombone, and percussion as good), and when he returned to Los Angeles in 1998, he draw together a diverse lineup of musicians -- scenesters and sitting manpower -- that reflected his own wide-ranging tastes. Trombonist/saxophonist David Ralicke worked with legion acts, including Natalie Merchant, Ozomatli, Ben Harper, Macy Gray, and Ziggy Marley, and later coupled the L.A.-based Cambodian rock confect band Dengue Fever. Guitarist/bassist Kenny Lyon, who'd grown up in Zaire and Spain, had performed with alternative bands like the Lemonheads and the Divinyls, as well as singer/songwriters like Mark Curry, Jann Arden, and David Baerwald. Guitarist Smokey Hormel was another Beck regular wHO besides performed and recorded with Cibo Matto, Sam Phillips, John Doe, and Tom Waits, among others. Percussionist Danny Frankel had played with musicians from Victoria Williams to Luscious Jackson to bluesman Ted Hawkins. Pianist Mike Boito was another Beck cohort who'd besides played with Ralicke in the ska isthmus Jump With Joey.Together with turntablist DJ Swamp and several other players, this version of Brazzaville recorded a self-titled debut record album and released it on Brown's possess South China Sea imprint in 1999. It standard favourable reviews of its crossbreed of indie pop, sofa jazz, world medicine, and noir-ish air, and was nigh ofttimes likened to Tom Waits or Morphine. Later that yr, the Engine mark picked up the record's distribution rights and reissued it under the title 2002. The redirect examination Somnambulista, released in 2001 on South China Sea, welcomed several new members, including Guadalupe-born/Paris-raised percussionist Joel Virgel Vierset (who'd worked with Nina Hagen), bassist Joe Zimmerman, and Latin-influenced trumpeter/accordionist Mick Bolger. Brazzaville's third uncut, Paint on Pockmarked Cheeks, appeared in 2002 with much the same frame of characters. Afterwards, Brown relocated to Barcelona and assembled an alternate European lineup of Brazzaville, which included guitar player Paco Jordi, keyboardist Richie Alvarez, bassist Brady Arthur Lynch, and drummer Ivan Knight.

Royal Hunt began in 1991 when bandleader Andre Anderson, primitively from Moscow, coupled up in Denmark with singer Henrik Brockmann, bassist Steen Mogensen, and drummer Kenneth Olson. With Andre on keyboards and seance musicians playing guitar, Royal Hunt was place to record their first album, Farming of Broken Hearts. This was a basic stone set featuring Andre's classically influenced melodies. For the adjacent record album, Merry andrew in the Mirror, Jacob Kjaer, wHO had played on the first album, joined the band as lede guitar player. Clown in the Mirror is a much more than progressive album and features even more classical-sounding melodies than its forerunner.


A fresh era of Royal Hunt medicine began on the next album, Moving Target, when Brockmann was replaced by American singer D.C. Cooper. Although Anderson continued to indite all the songs, Cooper brought a different, softer sound to the isthmus. Anderson's songwriting also matured, and Moving Target sounded more like an album, as opposed to a collection of songs. Yet some other lineup change hit for the fourth album, Paradox, as drummer Kenneth Olsen was forced to leave the band due to audience problems. Paradox, featuring a sitting drummer, continued along the commission started by Moving Target, if a little softer. Dual Live in Japan followed in 1999.
