FEATURE PRESENTATIONS

PolyGram-US Online is proud to bring you our Feature Presentations. Updated monthly, these features are jam packed with exclusive content like contests, artist interviews, audio/video clips and other goodies you can only find here. This month, we're proud to feature:

PORTISHEAD

Portishead launched their second album with a live show at Roseland in New York City on July 24, 1997. This wasn’t just any live show - this would be the first (and probably only) time the band would play with a full orchestra and conductor. It was a magical night. PNYC captures that magic on an album of live tracks culled mostly from the Roseland show. Check out an exclusive Q&A with Adrian from Portishead and enter to win an autographed poster!

THE CARDIGANS

From the blast-off success of First Band On The Moon, Sweden's The Cardigans return with Gran Turismo, their fourth studio album featuring the hit single "My Favourite Game." To celebrate, Nina Persson and the gang are putting their Sony PLAY STATION up for Grabs as well as the game Gran Turismo and an Autographed CD. That's mighty generous I must say. So start your engines and Enter to win!

BOYZONE

They're international superstars and the U.S. is about to get its first taste of Boyzone, the five-member Irish pop group who have already captivated the rest of the world with their potent blend of soulful harmonies and unforgettable melodies. Learn all about the boyz, see cool pics, listen to clips from their American debut Where We Belong and maybe even win an autographed Boyzone jacket!

RUSTED ROOT

It took two years, but Rusted Root is finally back. After spending a great deal of time touring - playing sold-out shows on their own as well as participating in historical festival tours such as The Further Festival and the Page/Plant tour - the band took it back to the studio. They consider the new self titled album a step back to their musical roots. Enter to win 1 of 3 very rare autographed buffalo skin drums!

PJ HARVEY

PJ Harvey's fifth album, Is This Desire?, is her first since 1995's million-selling worldwide hit To Bring You My Love. The iconic sound first heard on her debut Dry returns in twelve new songs. Here's your chance to win an autographed copy of the Limited Edition Vinyl LP!

UNKLE

Psyence Fiction from UNKLE "is the Apocalypse Now of albums. Cinematically, problematically and epically," says Mo Wax Records founder James Lavelle. Along with DJ Shadow and friends like Radiohead's Thom Yorke, The Verve's Richard Ashcroft and Beastie Boy Mike D, UNKLE is topping the electronica charts and is already finding it's way on to year end top 10 lists. So forget the facts, check out the Fiction and enter to win your very own alien!
