Richard H. Kirk Meets The Truck Bombers of Suburbia, "Uptown Vol 1," feat. Pat Riot

Sunday, 16 January 2005

Administrator

Music

Throughout 2004, the typically prolific Richard H. Kirk dug deep into his vault, releasing several discs and twelve inches of previously unavailable solo material. Still, after 2003's politically charged albums The War Against Terrorism and The Bush Doctrine, likeminded fans seemed eager for more new work amidst the increasingly bloody Iraq quagmire and the rhetoric-heavy U.S. presidential election campaigns.

Andrew Liles, "My Long Accumulating Discontent"

Sunday, 16 January 2005

Administrator

Music

The most important and pleasing aspect of Andrew Liles' latestfull-length is that it doesn't depend on any one formula, nor does itever venture into the realm of total and complete chaotic madness. Attimes the music is wonderfully melodic, featuring ballroom-like musiccirca 1930s or 1940s and, at other times, it is an admixture blossomingwith strange digital reverberations and analogue distortion.

Guilty Connector, "Cosmic Trigger/2AM Visit"

Music

The aural assault unleashed on Cosmic Trigger/2AM Visitis nothing short of a head cleansing catharsis of the best kind.Japan's Kohei-chang (AKA Filthy Dabo) uses homemade electronics andscrap metal to assault the senses on his third full length release.

Early Day Miners, "All Harm Ends Here"

Sunday, 16 January 2005

Administrator

Music

Early Day Miners have this odd quality of meticulously recalling a veryspecific mid-90s, Midwestern emo/indie sound, though slowing it to anear halt. It's as though the Miners spelunked their way to somefossilized sound from the Polyvinyl/Tree/Caulfield label nexus of 1996and successfully unearthed it, thawed it, and unleashed it, albeit at aslower tempo (perhaps the lethargy can be attributed to a neardecade-long hibernation).

LUSTMORD, "HERESY"

Sunday, 16 January 2005

Administrator

Music

Brian Williams has been operating as Lustmord for more than 20 yearsnow, churning out an impressive number of albums, all of which havebeen classified, for want of a better term, "dark ambient." Not thatit's an inappropriate term for what Williams does, creating rhythm-freesoundscapes that evoke an oppressive atmosphere of loneliness,desolation and dread.

Die T√∂dliche Doris, "Kinderringellreihen F√ºr Wahren Toren Des Grals"

Sunday, 16 January 2005

Administrator

Music

Käthe Kruse, Wolfgang Müller, and Nikolaus Utermöhlen formed somethinglike a band in 1980 and began producing all kinds of awkward soundcollages, pounding rhythmic pieces, and just plain silly exhibitions.Whether or not they can truly be considered a band is hazy, butPsychedelic Pig's release of Nursery Rhymes for True Fools of the Grailcontains twenty pieces of audio that were either ridiculously rare("Schöne Musik" appeared in an edition of twenty copies on cassette) ornever released at all.

Secret Mommy, "Hawaii 5.0"

Sunday, 16 January 2005

Administrator

Music

This 17 minute EP belongs to a rare breed of musical projects: theconcept project that is not overblown or pretentious. Perhaps thebrevity helps this cause, as Hawaii 5.0is the perfect length to visit the islands without feeling trappedthere. Each of the five tracks represents a different aspect of theHawaiian experience, as filtered through Ache label owner Andy Dixon'ssense of composition.

MUSLIMGAUZE, "SYRINJIA"

Music

The late Bryn Jones was rightly notorious for his extreme prolificacy:a characteristic that incredibly, does not seem to have slowed down atall since his demise in 1999. In addition to the mountains of new musicthat has been dusted off and released in the past five years, therehave also been many reissues of previously limited edition releases, ofwhich Syrinjiais one.
