I built and ran this website between 2000 and 2001, combining passion for popular music and programming. It was listed by MTV's now defunct MusicNewswire as one of the then nascent web's top twenty sources, alongside Billboard and VH1. The most exciting part of it — for a 13/14-year-old excited by new music — was receiving scores of pre-release CDs from record companies. The entire project was written entirely from scratch (frameworks and libraries were not the norm back then!) in PHP linking to a MySQL database, with HTML as well as a little CSS and JavaScript for the frontend; the code is available here.

Embrace - Wonder
15 August 2001 | 14:36:00 GMT/UTC

Embrace are back with a new album and this, the gorgeous Wonder.

It's been eighteen months since Embrace's last album Drawn From Memory. Their next long-player If You've Never Been will be out next month. This is the first single to be lifted from it.

Wonder is a slow, anthemic record with vocals courtesy of Danny McNamara. "If everyone has a shot at the top and you can't get out the way, it's you wonder will say." Those are the lyrics that are sung over the fantastic music produced by Ken Nelson.

Brilliant, and there's better to come on the album.
