B'more Live, an online guide to Baltimore nightlife, features an article on Beyond Hamsterdam, the soundtrack from HBO's The Wire featuring selections from the city's local club music scene. The article includes feedback from a number of the artists on the album that gives a good idea of what defines the unique Baltimore sound. Says pianist Lafayette Gilchrist of his first encounter with the music after moving up from DC: "People heard Baltimore club and they were ready to climb the walls."
