Graham Lambkin (formerly of The Shadow Ring, natch) sends his latest report from the inner recesses of his curlicued mind, in the form of new CD Salmon Run (KYE 02). Interestingly this is the second-only release on his own label, the first one being a solo LP of extreme tapework called Poem (For Voice...

The Fun Years are a couple of guys Ben Recht and Isaac Sparks, who suffer from Life-Sized Psychoses and want to share them with the world, in shape of a CD by the same name, on the Brooklyn-based label BARGE RECORDINGS (BRG 002). Enduring a psychosis isn’t quite the same as being a paid-up...
Special guest Tymon Dogg, live performance on air, with records and chat. Tymon played Spanish guitar, electric violin, and drone box, and of course sang. Many thanks to Tymon and our engineer Nina Kehagia. Live songs were… ‘Oil’, which appears on the Guantanamo EP ‘Beyond This Frontier’, which first appeared on The Frugivores’ New...

Staiano plays 10 tracks of solo percussive energetic nutsoid hedgehoggery on The Absolute Tradition of No Traditions (PSYCHFORM PFR06), released on Stan Reed’s label which has been home to some real corkers of dementia. Unlike some releases in that catalogue though, the...

Mark Wastell is the English improviser who has a fair claim to being one of the innovators of the ‘quiet’ movement (such as it is) that’s been seeping across the world of improvised music for many years now. A string player by nature, at one stage he might have been drawn towards a virtual...
Another box of delights flown in from the Opalio Brothers who call themselves My Cat Is An Alien. This Italian duo use anything they can get their hands on, from guitars with FX setups to live electronics and percussion, to create long-form droney abstractions, often packaged and titled with fanciful outer-space exploration themes to...
