Daedalus, "Exquisite Corpse"

Exquisite Corpse (a sequential collaborative process in whicheach successive contributor is only allowed to see the very end of theprevious addition before adding his or her own) is Santa Monicaaritifcer of sound Daedalus's most collaborative effort to date, withthe likes of MF Doom and Mike Ladd on board.

Revenge, "No Pain No Gain Live 1991"

Speaking as a committed New Order fan, I can confidently assert that Revenge was the worst musical excursion that Peter Hook ever took. Toying with blatantly darker themes than the main band, most notably through collaboration with the highly touted S&M outfit Skin Two, this misstep of a side-project was the least satisfying of the three acts that the group's members launched (the others being Electronic and The Other Two) after the release of Technique.

"Tibetan Buddhist Rites From The Monasteries of Bhutan"

This double CD reissue of intimate recordings by Englishman David Levyfrom 1971 is a sprawling document of immense beauty. These recordingsof rituals, chants and ceremonies strike a perfect balance betweensounding clearly recorded and gloriously primal.

Nodern

The white eyes staring out from darkness on the cover and the screamheard in the opening seconds of Nodern's debut album point toward anuncomfortable listen. He is adept at taking elements normallyassociated with specific genres and displacing them into his own,highly personal world.

COIL, "AND THE AMBULANCE DIED IN HIS ARMS"

This is the first new Coil release (and also possibly the last) tosurface since the untimely passing of Geoff Rushton AKA Jhonn Balancelast November. As we are assured that the title for this release wasalready decided upon before Balance's death, it's hard not to read itas strangely prophetic, just as it is difficult to listen to any Coilmusic nowadays without hearing signs, omens and harbingers of deatheverywhere.

Keith Fullerton Whitman/Greg Davis, "Yearlong"

Recorded on the road between December of 2001 and November 2002, thesethirteen tracks prove that it's never impossible to continue exploringnew musical palettes. Each track is, as far as I can tell, the combinedeffort of both Keith Whitman and Greg Davis and the music is markedlydifferent from anything they've released by themselves.

Charalambides, "Our Bed Is Green"

Kranky's double CD reissue of the debut recording from Charalambidesreveals the origins of a band that, to some of us coming in late in thegame, were seemingly without one. Everything I've heard from this nowtriple-guitar band is amorphous and translucent, the music never quitetouches the ground, preferring to remain among the hazy and unsureimages of dreams.

Thighpaulsandra, "Double Vulgar II"

This is the long-delayed sequel to the mad Welshman's 2003 Double Vulgar album, which was intended to follow closely upon the release of the first, but because of various problems surrounding the pornographic artwork and the dissolution of World Serpent Distribution, it has been delayed until now.

F.S. BLUMM, "ZWEITE MEER"

After hopping back and forth between a few different record labels overthe past four years, Berlin-based multi-instrumentalist, Frank SchültgeBlumm, has returned to the Morr Music fold for his latest release, Zweite Meer.I found myself easily drawn to his lush and gorgeous compositionalstyle, which is just as influenced by modern, minimalist classical asit is pop music.

GUM, "Vinyl Anthology"

Gum was the late 1980s project of two locked groove-obsessed Australianyouths. Seduced by the sounds of their warped and scratched records,Andrew Curtis and Philip Samartzis developed a conceptually challengingway to harness the hidden and embarrassing music of phonographic mediagone wrong.
