Y'all, I am on a major trip-hop kick, and you're coming with me. Making Bones is an extremely dynamic record, and definitely leans to the more.
Red Snapper are a British instrumental band founded in London in 1993 by Ali Friend (double bass), Richard Thair (drums), and David Ayers (guitar).[1] The three core members are also joined by various guest musicians and vocalists on different records. Since the 2007 reunion Tom Challenger (saxophone) has also been a member of the band.[2] According to music journalist Jason Ankeny of AllMusic, 'the British acid jazztrio [are] notable for their pioneering synthesis of acousticinstruments and electronic textures'.[1]

Career[edit]
Red Snapper at Milk Club, Moscow, 2009
The band released three EPs on Flaw Recordings before signing to Warp Records for their debut album, Prince Blimey (1996).[1] The band were a somewhat unusual feature of Warp Records' 1990s roster: in contrast to the studio-oriented IDM the record label primarily dealt in, the band had a live and organic sound: a smoky mixture of dub, jazz and all tempos of breakbeat from trip hop to drum and bass.[3] In 1997, Red Snapper (along with the Foo Fighters) supported the Prodigy on their Fat of the Land tour in the UK.
For their follow-up Making Bones they were joined by jungleMC Det, Byron Wallen the jazz trumpeter and singer Alison David. The latter was replaced by Karim Kendra by their third album, Our Aim Is to Satisfy (2000).
In early 2002, Red Snapper announced its dissolution.[1] In interviews since the reunion the band said a reason for splitting was too much discussing what to play, rather than playing. Each member wanted to try a different musical direction.[4][2]
Also in 2002 the various artists compilation album It's All Good was released. It included a previously unreleased track, 'Ultraviolet', which was also included on Red Snapper, a compilation of unreleased and rare Red Snapper tracks released by Lo Recordings in 2003.
Later in 2003, an album of remixes was released, Redone, which included tracks remixed by the Snapper themselves. Ayers and Felix Tod were credited as The Creation, Thair remixed 'Ultraviolet', and the 'Odd Man Out' (Odd Man remix) was done by Friend, Gavin Clark and Ted Barnes. The last track included vocals. Later the Flameboy Records (owned by Jake Williams, former RS keyboard player) released a 4-track vinyl called 'RedOne', which included three tracks from Redone and a previously unreleased Red Snapper track entitled 'Drill' featuring MC Det.
Reunion[edit]
Red Snapper reformed in 2007[1] – this was posted on their MySpace page:
After 6 years apart concentrating on different projects, Red Snapper return. Ali has been working with Beth Orton and his new band Clayhill. David has been focusing on writing music for TV with his work featuring on the highly acclaimed BBC show 'The Tribe'. Rich has been working with Jakeone on their band Toob, with Rennie Pilgrem and the TCR Allstars and Bomb the Bass.
In late 2007, the band decided to rejoin after a jam session. They returned to the recording studio to work on new material for their sixth album. Saxophonist Tom Challenger played at the sessions and became a member of the band.[1]
Red Snapper appeared at the Bloc Weekend in March 2008. The band released Pale Blue Dot (Lo Recordings) on 2 October 2008.[1]
They appeared on the Glade Stage at Glastonbury 2009.[citation needed]
In May 2011 the band released 'Key', their seventh album on V2 Benelux with original band members Rich Thair (drums), Ali Friend (double bass/vocals) and David Ayers (guitar). They are joined by jazz saxophonist Tom Challenger and guest vocalists Gavin Clarke (UNKLE, Clayhill) and Mercury Prize nominee Eliza Carthy. The band are followed up the album with an extensive tour of Europe throughout the summer of 2011.

RAR (Roshal Archive) files store compressed data and are created and unpacked using WinRAR (among other other programs designed to do the same thing). RAR files can be password protected using Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) encryption, making the passwords very difficult to crack. RAR password crackers have popped up on the Internet, and some are available for free download. However, most of these RAR password crackers do not try to break the code and rather work more like a very thorough version of trial and error, so they can take some time.
Step 1
Go online and search for 'RAR password crack [operating system].' Many RAR password crackers are dedicated to one operating system or another, and, as the RAR file format was first released back in 1993, some RAR password crackers are very old. Find one that works for your operating system and represents the latest in RAR password cracking technology. Some are free, some are not, but just don't pay more for the password cracker than what you would for whatever is in the RAR file you're trying to crack.
Step 2
Download the RAR password cracker that fits your operating and monetary needs. Follow the onscreen instructions to properly install.
Choose your password search method. Most programs offer a variety of methods, from searching word lists to searching all possible combinations of characters. If you usually use passwords that are real words (as opposed to names or made-up nonsense), the word list method is far more quick than searching all characters. If the password is a long, random combination of characters, the all character search could take weeks or months.
