Koda, "Movements"

M. Derrick's ten compositions on this record easily qualifies as someof the most relaxing music I've ever had the pleasure of hearing. Tentracks have separate names, but Movementscomes together as one cohesive picture built from shining strings andwarm, enveloping tones.

Marsen Jules, "Herbstlaub"

This new effort from Martin Juhls under the name "Marsen Jules" is apleasant meditation on plant life that easily reflects its intendedsubject matter without offering much commentary along the way.

25 Suaves, "I Want it Loud"

Not a single thing about this metal trio is particularly distinct ororiginal, but somehow that just doesn't matter. Peter Larson, FumieKawasaki, and Dave Sahijdak churn out destructive and catchy riffs witha powerful delivery, sticking to the straight and narrow path burnedopen years ago by other well-known guitar wizards and drunken partyfreaks.

out hud, "let us never speak of it again"

Though they are inevitably described as the weird, Funkadelic-stylelittle sister band to !!!'s Parliament, ever since the release of2002's Street Dad,Out Hud have always seemed like their own entity.

A Frames, "Black Forest"

Why does it seem to be necessary to remove any affection or humanemotion from a musical composition in order to sound modern orfuturistic? As of yet, the future isn't composed of robots or oiledhearts (well, ok...) and there's nothing particularly appealing aboutthis record's aversion to personal feeling or even soul. Lars Finberg,Erin Sullivan, and Min Yee play a distinctly steel and automatic brandof music marked by some ultra-repetitive drumming patterns and melodiesthat are pumped out monotonously and monophonically one after anotheron the bass and six-string.

AFX, "ANALORD 01-05"

Richard D. James may have made the most clever move of his entire,inconsistent career with the release of this series of twelve 12" vinylEPs. Only the first five are available as of this writing, but it isalready obvious that the grinning, tank-driving egotist is producingmusic that is unashamedly and resolutely anachronistic, kitschy andretrograde.

Dälek , "Absence"

Absence is the heaviest hitting release to date from hip hop'sloudest collective. For the first time, the words come close tomatching the sounds in weight. According to the eponymous frontman, therecord is a statement on hometown Newark, NJ, and suffice to say itwon't be promoted by the Chamber of Commerce.

Akron/Family

Proficiency at editing is just as prominent on the list of this quartet's skills as is their songwriting ability. Rather than presenting results along the way since recording commenced in 2002, Akron/Family have waited and produced a work that lends the project the air of appearing fully formed from out of nowhere.

Sam Prekop, "Who's Your New Professor"

If the truest goal of any one artist is to have as much completecontrol and freedom over their art as possible, it would seem this Seaand Cake frontman is as close as it gets, and the results are nothingshort of inspirational. If Sam Prekop's total artisticvision—writer/arranger/musician/singer and artwork painter—was ajoyride on his debut solo album, this time he's apt to changeperceptions and set the whole image on its side, making the wholelistening audience second guess every move.

BLACK LEOTARD FRONT, "CASUAL FRIDAY"

DFA
This week brings three new slabs of heavy DJ vinyl from DFA Records,with this one by Black Leotard Front sounding the most adventurous tomy ears. "Casual Friday" is a massive 15-minute groove that starts outas ingratiatingly slick metropolitan disco and ends up asingratiatingly slick deconstructed electro-funk from planet weird.
