Somewhere, right now, indie rock kids are overjoyed beyond belief listening to this record. Why? Because Go Back Snowball is a project by two men that they readily worship for the music they release with their full-time bands. And people have often wondered in conversations at coffee shops and record stores what it would be like if they actually made a record together. The wonder is over, as Bob Pollard and Mac McCaughan, of Guided By Voices and Superchunk/Portastatic respectively, have joined forces for "Calling Zero." And it's almost as good as you'd expect it to be.

A very different improvising group from Italy is the strangelypunctuated tu m'. There is virtually no information given on thepackage of tu m's debut CD, but it sure sounds like a laptop to me(that telltale digital high-pitched whine is unmistakable). The groupmoves carefully through six relatively beat-oriented improvisations.The pieces develop slowly and deliberately, with loops rising up andfading out, sine tones entering steadily and cutting out, muted beatstaking a place somewhere in the background and thump thump thumpingalong. Though the music is improvised, it sounds more similar to theabstract Mille Plateaux or Ritornell bands (Neina springs immediatelyto mind) than to what one might think of as "improv". The recordingquality is muddy at times, especially when tu m' brings out the heavybass, so many of the digital details are lost in an undifferentiatedmurk. This could have benefitted from a cleaner production, but theideas still come across. More info at www.cut.fm. -

Thebetter known Vibracathedral Orchestra from the UK grace No. 010.Working with a variety of more traditional instruments, they sound abit like an outtake of the fictive 'Industrial Unplugged' Series."Oblong Two" is the far darker and heavier one of the two. It's mood isan ambiguous drift leading your ears towards amazement. The title trackleaves the impression of optimistic ignorance in midst the wasteland.This is not really my pair of shoes but I'm sure lovers of freestylepost-everything will enjoy it. These editions are numbered and featureexclusive tracks and should be available at normal 7" single prices.For more info on this extraordinary series check out www.tonschacht.com.
