Our first published reviews and analysis of the Phish phenomena on the Internet happened in 1996 - more than 15 years ago today… Many things happened in the musical world since then, but this American rock/jazz band you might never have heard yet is still the best the live scene has to offer, worldwide! There's been some ups and downs in their history, but they're currently touring, rocking, grooving and bending minds as fresh & hard as ever. Forget what you think you know about what music can do to you, just go see this band on stage if you have the chance. Phish are regularly...

Phish - Joy
(CD/LP/Deluxe Joy Box 2xCD+DVD) JEMP, 2009-09-08

Working with , who produced Phish's 1996 Billy Breathes and albums by U2, Dave Matthews Band and the Rolling Stones, the band recorded Joy in April and May of 2009 at Chung King Studio in New York City. A loose yet focused vibe is apparent from the first notes of the album's opening track and lead single, Backwards Down The Number Line, which was cut live in the studio - solos and all - and left entirely intact. In contrast, the epic 13-minute, 29-second Time Turns Elastic was recorded section-by-section, in more than 260 takes. Throughout, Phish strikes a remarkable balance, keeping a strong sense of songwriting while allowing its trademark improvisations room to stretch out. In fact, Joy includes more improvisations than most of the band's previous albums. For that reason, says bassist Mike Gordon, "in some ways, I think this one is more for our fans than any of our other albums". Joy marks the first-ever non-archival release on JEMP Records, an independent record label created in 2005 by the members of Phish. The label's initial function was to release live concerts in CD, DVD and digital formats from the band's extensive archives, which are located in Burlington, VT. In a recent interview with Billboard for the cover story of "The Indie Issue," keyboardist Page McConnell noted: "We're still outside the mainstream of the business and happy to be existing there".
