Encyclopedia > Almo Sounds

Almo Sounds is a record company started in 1994 by Herb Alpert and Jerry Moss after they sold A&M Records. The intent of the label was to recreate the initial concept of A&M Records as a small, "boutique" label.


The label signed artists Gillian Welch and Garbage to the label, and Alpert himself released his "Second Wind", "Passion Dance", and "Colours" albums on the label. The label was sold in 2002 to Universal Music and was disbanded thereafter.

Pulsars geek rock digitally perfected (597 words)
Talks with paper tongues / he laughs at funny sounds / T-9000, I adore you, sings Dave, but he soon wants to know if his friend will always be ready to perform every time he's plugged in.
Later, he's the kid who was picked on in school and runs home to find solace in his computer.
But it somehow sounds totally today, which probably has something to do with all this talk of electronic music taking over.
