Ahmed Abdul-Malik
1970-01-01 00:59:59
"Ahmed Abdul -Malik was born in Brooklyn of Sudanese descent. His interest in music dates from boyhood; he began studying at seven, first violin, later the bass, then piano and tuba. His early professional experience ranged from Greek, Syrian and Gypsy weddings to symphony orchestras. Moving into jazz circles in the '40s, Ahmed played with such veterans as Fess Williams, Art Blakey and Don Byas.


Monkey 3
1970-01-01 00:59:59
This sounds idyllic: '39 Laps' was not recorded in a traditional studio, but somewhere in a wood house in the Swiss mountains. The crystal-clear air in the mountains has been very inspiring for these musicians, for I am always a bit afraid of albums without vocals, but Monkey 3's soundscapes are never prolix or monotonous. I was slightly abreast of that, because the band played last year at the

Indian
1970-01-01 00:59:59
It finally hit me after spinning this CD for probably the thousandth time; I've been spinning it a minimum of two times daily, for almost two weeks without fail. What hit me is this; first, this album title is perfect. Second, this album is beyond any foolish reviewer to even attempt scrutiny. The Unquiet Sky is a perfect moniker for this doom masterpiece as the metal on here is so vast, so


Saint Rorschach
1970-01-01 00:59:59
Saint Rorschach are a four piece group from Tucson Arizona and this is their first full length release, "Transference". Following a limited edition live in the studio album entitled "Do Something." last year. The band spent the first part of 2006 recording Transference and doing a self made tour of the west coast where enthusiastic responses from all who heard and saw speak of their intense live

John Coltrane
1970-01-01 00:59:59
This two-disc collection gathers the results of two recording sessions from April and May 1961 with the John Coltrane Orchestra. As the title indicates, The Complete Africa/Brass Sessions includes both volumes of the work and relocates "The Damned Don't Cry" -- originally issued on the Trane's Modes compilation -- to this more chronologically sound release. On this collection, these recordings

Miles Davis
1970-01-01 00:59:59
Thought by many to be the most revolutionary album in jazz history, having virtually created the genre known as jazz-rock fusion (for better or worse) and being the jazz album to most influence rock and funk musicians, Bitches Brew is, by its very nature, mercurial. The original double LP included only six cuts and featured up to 12 musicians at any given time, most of whom would go on to be

...Big Business
1970-01-01 00:59:59
BIG BUSINESS has two guys in it. It is spelled here in capital letters so you know we're talking about a serious band. Jared Warren plays the bass guitar and sings. He used to be in this band KARP and then he was in this other band for awhile name of TIGHT BROS FROM WAAAY BACK WHEN. Coady Willis plays the drums and sometimes yells and stuff. He used to be in the MURDER CITY DEVILS and probably

Flying Canyon
1970-01-01 00:59:59
Born beneath a marble-grey California sunset, Flying Canyon 's self-titled debut is a refreshingly down-to-earth statement set against neo-folk's increasingly freak-fashion landscape (remember grunge wear?). Part of the magic: It seems just about effortless. To place the aesthetic within a contemporary constellation, find the Jewelled Antler-league trio somewhere between Ben Chasny's Compathia

Labradford
1970-01-01 00:59:59
Having established their sound, Labradford took the admirable step on their sophomore release by extending it to further levels rather than simply refining what was already there, as well as adding bass player Robert Donne to the lineup. Whether various live appearances with Main in fact had an impact, Labradford here resembles that extremely avant-garde group in creating honest to goodness "


Blutch
1970-01-01 00:59:59
With the Belgian band Blutch you might logically think they are making a fusion of Clutch and Botch, and in the fast opening track 'Smile' it actually seems that way. After this however the band radically changes the tempo and turns the musical style into extremely heavy and cold sludge doom with a high fear-factor. It is advisable not to play these depressive sounds in the dark. It took quite

Elvin Jones
1970-01-01 00:59:59
Drummer Elvin Jones may have been breaking down new rhythmic boundaries at the time with John Coltrane's Quartet but his own sessions as a leader were not all that innovative. This quartet set with altoist Charlie Mariano, bassist Richard Davis and either Roland Hanna or Hank Jones on piano is an example of how the avant-garde of the era was starting to influence the more mainstream players. The


Rosetta
1970-01-01 00:59:59
A little known band hailing from Philadelphia, PA scores the "release of the month" for October. Rosetta 's debut album, The Galilean Satellites, is so immense in its vision that it must span two full discs. Converted into finely ripped -vbr quality, this monster occupies roughly one-fifth of a gigabyte. For those with less pretentious tastes in music, that's probably at least four or five albums


Electric Wizard
1970-01-01 00:59:59
ELECTRIC WIZARD is the heaviest band in the world. The oblivion and ecstasy of crushing doom and high grade marijuana, a sonic aural trip far, far away from this world, where only cyclopean walls of crackling vintage valve amplifiers set to the full overdrive and primal ritualistic beats can wash away all the filth and drudgery of everyday life. Our music is DoomMetal, the only true definition. .

Coil
1970-01-01 00:59:59
One of the bonuses arising from Coil's return to live performances was the release of CDs and CD-Rs issued to coincide and accompany their tours, resulting in releases such as Queens of the Circulating Library, Constant Shallowness Leads To Evil, Selvaggina: Go Back Into the Woods, and the newly reissued CDs, Black Antlers and The Remote Viewer. Black Antlers originally appeared to accompany


Earth
1970-01-01 00:59:59
A collection of live recordings considered by their fans to be the Earth Holy Grail, '070796' is centred around the Vienna Hyperstrings Festival performance whose date comprises the album title. A precursor to dronecore and with Sunn0))) amongst their most ardent advocates, '070796 Live' is predictably pretty hard going but does reward the listener with a level of utter immersion and involvement


Zozobra
1970-01-01 00:59:59
Taking its name from the 50-foot effigy burned every year by a hysterical mob during the Fiestas De Santa Fe in Santa Fe, New Mexico, Zozobra is the brainchild of Cave In/Old Man Gloom bassist Caleb Scofield. Featuring live drums courtesy of fellow OMG institute liaison Santos Montaño, Harmonic Tremors deftly traverses the far-flung fields of transcendental space rock and explosive dirge metal (


Seldon Hunt

Seldon Hunt, artist/designer/illustrator/photographer/writer and film-maker. He has designed posters and cover art for many contemporary musical visionaries including Neurosis, Khanate, Jesu, Null, Hydrahead Records, Isis, Kid 606, Lotus Eaters, Troum etc and has written apocolyptic liner notes for sunn0))), khanate and whitehorse. He has made documentaries about ISIS, subculture in Antwerp and


Souvenir's Young America
1970-01-01 00:59:59
When one's prerogative is to spend half their time chilling out and the other half flying to Jupiter, there is a much-debated question on what to listen to. Souvenir 's Young America has brought this dilemma upon themselves and answered it with their first full-length, Souvenir's Young America. The album in question is able to juggle some soft prettiness with a futuristic heaviness that is driven


Minsk
1970-01-01 00:59:59
Transcending the current crop of heavy music imitators, Minsk bleed their tribal conviction with an atmosphere of total psychedelic delirium. Hypnotic percussion thunders beneath thickly layered guitars as synths and samples provide a backdrop for searing melodies and deeply spiritual vocal ruminations. Superbly produced at the Volume Recording Studio by bassist/vocalist Sanford Parker (Pelican,


Rivulets
1970-01-01 00:59:59
Nathan Amundson (a.k.a. Rivulets) has consistently crafted stellar minimalist pop over the course of three records, yet You Are My Home still feels like a breakthrough. Here his careful melodies, cautious singing and full-band climaxes hit all the right spots, impeccably patterned yet with no hint of overwrought labor. The title track is the album's mini-masterpiece, an aching procession spurred


The Ascent of Everest
1970-01-01 00:59:59
Nashville, Tennessee calls itself the "Music City" of the United States, but that reference is inevitably lost on anyone who can't remember anything before nu-metal, boy band pop, and grunge. Even those recalling sounds of 80s hair metal and new wave can't conjure up why exactly Nashville is such an "important" city. Forget all of that. In the twenty-first century bands everywhere strive to

Jean Jacques André
1970-01-01 00:59:59
In the mid Fifties when I began figure photography straight photographs of the nude alone were not fully satisfying to me. In my mind, regardless of composition, form and lighting, they did not have great artistic value. They lacked meaning. Their use was that of a sketchbook, notes, poses, and angles to be developed later into a body of work with more depth and creative merit. By 1956 I began

Blood & Time
1970-01-01 00:59:59
Scott Kelly and I have been friends for ten years. Even though in that decade his life often played out like a protagonist from a particularly relentless Greek tragedy, I assure you he is flesh and blood. It seems only fitting that the latest outing to come from the extremely prolific Neurosis/Tribes of Neurot clan should be this disarmingly mortal release from Blood and Time entitled At The

Pelican
1970-01-01 00:59:59
After an impressive debut EP and a full-length, Australasia, that was something of a letdown, Pelican are gearing up for a busy 2005, with this EP, a forthcoming second full-length, a split with Japanese noise-post-rockers Mono, and tours of Japan (supported by Mono) and the United States. This is all very exciting news, particularly the stuff with Mono, who offer a good point of comparison to


Maserati

Who the fuck is Maserati ? Maserati is a son of a bitch hell bent on dismembering every last vestige of the so-called indie rock establishment before it can drive the last nail in its messenger-bag-wearing coffin. What the fuck am I talking about? This is not about me or your knowing about that of which I speak. No, fair warriors, this is about the now sound of ass kicking southern rock - a
