...we've noticed that TD has been nominated for the Grammy Awards several times, yet it's bizarre that the band hasn't received this acknowledgement so far. Any particular reason which could explain this? <<<
The "Best New Age" recording Grammy, like the "Best Reggae Recording" Grammy, is stacked--whatever has the most publicity and sales in these genres is the one that wins. Shabba Ranks and Beenie Man are the only decent reggae artists who have won Grammies--Elephant Man, Lady Saw or TOK don't have a chance at a Grammy because they are too raw, despite how much they sell. And if you are a Marley, you'll win anyway. Enya will win New Age whenever she records anything, so the "real" New Age artists, such as Steve Roach, Robert Rich, Jeff Greinke, or Lustmord will never win. Peace.
