Amy Winehouse ( above) has changed musical tack for her second album, replacing the jazz leanings of Frank with a R&B-tinged offering that earns her a first Top 10 album. The Who, meanwhile, are in at No 9, with the appropriately titled Endless Wire - it has, after all, been 41 years since the My Generation album crashed into the charts.

About GEMINI WOLF
Dreamy vocals, laptop bleeps, thunderous drums, dubby bass, strings, and guitars all blend together in the world of Gemini Wolf. The band was founded in 2005 as a noise/folktronica duo with Pandar and Mikronesia. Their unique blend of glitchy beats, psychedelic guitars, and ethereal vocals pleased crowds throughout the land. Gemini Wolf caught the ear of the Atlanta based label Nophi Records, and their tune ?Owl Song? was included on an acclaimed vocal + electronics compilation ?Nophi Presents - Compilation iii?.
In 2006 the band has grown to include some fine musicians. Len Magen joined Gemini Wolf on electric bass; then Gary Dann on drums. Rounding out the lush sounds are Alison Rigby on violin and Richie Frangiosa on cello. In October 2006, they began recording their debut album ?Josiah?.
Another soulful full band version of “Owl Song” was chosen as the lead off song on the new Philly Car Share SoundClash CD Vol 1. It\’s an exciting compilation of eccelectic Philly bands with tracks hand chosen by Josh Wink and King Britt. Also on the CD are Gildon Works and a Josh Wink / Trent Reznor track.
Gemini Wolf\’s debut album, Josiah was released in May 2007. The album goes from trippy folk to electro-funk to philly soul to dark rock to glitch pop and back again over nine tracks that span the sonic and emotional landscape. The album has just hit the streets and is looking for a label home. The City Paper has declared “… Josiah, has the makings of an epic …” (5/17/2007). Pick up a copy today.

Their first two albums peaked at No 3 here but at Nos 113 and 55 Stateside, while Because of the Times debuted at No 25. Elsewhere, Bright Eyes, led by Conor Oberst (above), chalk up their best chart position yet with their seventh album, Cassadaga, this week’s highest new entry at No 13.

Elsewhere, Paul Mc-Cartney’s latest, Memory Almost Full , was helped to No 5 by the most publicised “secret gig” in living memory. And the anniversary of a certain other album might have helped too, as Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band celebrated its 40th birthday by creeping back into the charts at No 48.

This November sees them playing London’s Alexandra Palace - proof of their rise from cult indie band status. And, while the latest album by Prince ( above), Planet Earth, has been excluded from the charts after being given away free with The Mail on Sunday, last week James Blunt’s Back to Bedlam became the 21st century’s biggest selling album, having shifted 3,020,490 copies.
