Pele 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Pele's Elephant was re-released by Polyvinyl in Summer 2003. The album had become a staple in the CD carousel the previous Winter and the question was raised why such a wonderful album was out of print. Originally the album was released in 1999 on Sign Language Records as a limited-run with little retail distribution. Despite the lack of availability, Elephant had become the record most Pele fans
Everlovely Lightningheart 1970-01-01 00:59:59 The impression that I got from various official sources for the band is that Everlovely Lightningheart are some kind of artistic commune that have tapped into some abstract spiritual plane and have brought back enlightenment in the form of music. While there is a lot of beautiful music on this album, Everlovely Lightningheart are far from the cultural monument that they're portrayed as.
Cusp is
Ennio Morricone 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Morricone was born in Rome and was educated at the Conservatory of the Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia in the trumpet and composition under Goffredo Petrassi, and choral music and choral direction. In the beginning, he regarded himself to be destined to compose modern classical music, but this changed when he was invited to write arrangements for popular Italian songs, something that was Read more:Ennio

Crippled Black Phoenix 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Having a member of Mogwai in your lineup and making post-rock does admittedly set expectations fairly high. Although not entirely responsible for the genre itself, Mogwai were integral in getting it "out there' and have recorded some of the most important additions to it's canon, and now in 2006 the sound is still going strong.

Drosselbart (req. by Gijs) 1970-01-01 00:59:59 One and only album from Munich band. This album stands out as one of the most provocative and aggressive efforts from Germany anno '70 with loud vocals, harsh guitars and swirling organs sounds. It is close to impossible to find more frantic and vicious songs like "Engel des todes" and "Böse buben". The German sung vocals of Peter Randt really have a attitude of telling the rest of the world to
Mouth of the Architect & Kenoma 1970-01-01 00:59:59 When I started to write this review I wasn't really sure what direction this introduction was going to take. So I decided to let the album play on repeat and just sit back and in my chair and look outside at the rain. I closed my eyes and proceeded to relax, allowing the soft sound of the rain falling to fuse with the lush tones of the album for one extremely comforting experience. Thus, this Read more:Architect
Circle 1970-01-01 00:59:59 The album seems to divide into two parts. The first four tracks flow together in sort of suite, burbling beautifully and hypnotically...just so so pleasant. No heavy riffs, nothing edgy at all. Then there's a pause, and the remaining two tracks reveal something of a darker, more mysterious sound. Just a bit though, like a bright sunny day edging towards twilight, the knowledge of the coming night Read more:Circle
Brant Bjork 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Meet BrantBjork
, the JJ Cale of the Californian Desert. He already was co-architect of the heavy psychedelic stoner sound with Kyuss (he played drums on their first three albums), was a member of Fu Manchu during the latter half of the nineties and is steadily creating an impressive catalogue of his own. If you expect his albums to contain the thunderous drumming he delivered when he was with Read more:Brant Bjork
Tides 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Tides have undergone a number of changes since we last heard from them on 2005's Resurface. Most notably, the band has added a second guitar player in Tim Fickeisen and they've picked up and moved from rural upstate New York for the metropolis of Boston. And even with those dramatic changes, Tides remain a focused rock outfit playing airy instrumental post-rock music.
From Silence is comprised Read more:Tides

Jesse Sykes & The Sweet Hereafter 1970-01-01 00:59:59 The word 'artist' these days is used to refer to pretty much any musician, but few songwriters or performers approach their musical life with the degree of intense concern as does JesseSykes
. Although originally a visual artist, Sykes sings that "only music sets my soul free." She's always, however, brought a deep visual sense to her textually (and texturally) rich songwriting.

Manatees 1970-01-01 00:59:59 There's something about the name Manatees
that has the uninitiated (but about to be blown away) listener expecting passages of calm ambience, a series of soundscapes ideal for drifting away to, as if sailing a still sea, the gentlest breeze propelling your vessel. Ha.
Manatees are brothers of doom and no mistake: this three-piece carve their works from solidified sludge, they grind out riffs so
Paine 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Paine (translation: “Pressure”) combines the strengths of guitarist/keyboardist/voice manipulator Jyrki Laiho (ex-Circle), drummer/keyboardist/bassist Juha Ahtiainen (Ovalki; ex-Circle), drummer/bassist Janne Peltomäki (ex-Circle) and drummer/bassist Veli Nuorsaari (Kuusumun Profeetta). Despite a reliance on taut, oppressive structures that recall their mother band, these veterans have rapidly Read more:Paine
William S. Burroughs 2007-03-02 17:00:00 One of the best Burroughs recordings, Dead City Radio features the writer reading five previously unreleased pieces, along with selections from several of his books. The acerbic Burroughs wit is at its finest on many of these selections, and he even takes a shot at singing on one track. Musical contributors to this project include Sonic Youth, Donald Fagen, Lenny Pickett, Cheryl Hardwick, Chris Read more:William
Nadja 2007-03-02 12:47:00 There are plenty of copycats using that tool, a few innovative performers, some entertainers, and then there are those writers on the fringe that seem to be a part of the scene but ultimately don't fit satisfyingly into its machinations. Aidan Baker's affair with abstract music places him somewhere in that final group, a group far more interesting than the often proclaimed masters of the genre.
Slow Horse 2007-03-02 12:45:00 Much like the name implies, Slow Horse
is a very trudging, heavy beast of burden, as their six song self titled album demonstrates. Falling very vaguely in the same category as Kyuss but not particularly having the desert feel or stoner rock implication, Slow Horse comes across as a very brooding band that pulls it off quite well. The song structures are somewhat based on jam sections but the
Circle 2007-03-04 06:55:00 Limited LP that catches a session Circle
recorded exclusively for WFMU during their US tour, on 19/9/05. Comprising two lengthy pieces taking up a side each, 'The Greatest Kingdom' and 'The Ghost of the Highway', it focuses on their often spacey improv underpinning and applies new meaning to a vision which strides powerfully over the line dividing apocalyptic dread from a semblance of hope.

Dystopia 2007-03-06 17:25:00 For years, Dystopia have been punishing ears with their combination of dark complex music, misanthropic lyrics, and twisted emotions. Their eerie music and tortured vocals make them the leaders of this doom-laden genre. That and they just straight up kick ass.

Middian 2007-03-10 09:59:00 I can think of very few albums I have ever purchased, listened to once, and sold back to the store. Generally, I am a pretty forgiving guy and I can find something worth listening to on a disc. However, YOB just was not my cup of tea. I don't know what it was, but after I listened to the latest YOB release I was not only unsatisfied, but also thoroughly annoyed. Maybe I got hung up on the vocals

Ulver 2007-03-10 09:57:00 Taking their name from the Norewgian word for wolf, Ulver
is a black metal band employing both noisy death-metal blasting and more relaxed, morose acoustic instrumentation, depending on the concept of their work. Led by vocalist Garm, Ulver recorded two concept albums beginning in 1995; Bergtatt detailed a Norse legend in which maidens are abducted by denizens of the underworld to live in their
...Englar alheimsins 2006-07-16 23:27:00 Englar alheimsins, or Angels of the Universe, was a critically-acclaimed Icelandic film about a man's descent into despair and schizophrenia. This being the soundtrack to the film, one might expect a pretty moody score, and that's indeed what we have here. Sigur Rós (most likely the reason you're reading this review) only contributes the last two tracks; the first fifteen are all Hilmar Örn

I have two pieces of music accredited to the band, an EP from 2004, …And Then We Were Killed, and one from 2005, So Much for Summer, but I can't say for sure that either could be considered a "release" in the general
Kalas 2007-03-13 17:40:00 A brand new Matt Pike's project is always good news. This time, assuming only the vocalist's role, leaving the rest to a bunch of (not amateurs at all) players, coming from different music backgrounds such as punk/hardcore.
But Kalas' debut ain't anything like that. It's straight, modern doom rock, with really heavy downtuned guitars, and the unavoidable Matt Pike's always carrying scent.
