Don't Dare Listen to this Music Alone

May 30, 2010

Gotta admit I’m developing a real soft spot for these groovy reissues of heavy jazz kitsch from the Righteous label. The latest emergence is Shock and Panic (RIGHTEOUS PSALM 23:35) by The Creed Taylor Orchestra, a CD which bundles together Shock Music in Hi-Fi with its successor album, Panic: The Son of Shock. With...

Harpist Rhodri Davies sent me a copy of his great new record, a team-up with the saxophonist John Butcher. Carliol (FTARRI-220) is released on a Japanese improv label and represents two of the most distinctive talents working in the UK today. These seven pieces of distilled music have the same kind of intense, filtered...

The Mirror Image Fades

May 30, 2010

Got a great little box of powerful noise from Per Strom in Gothenburg, that Swedish burg that continues to act as a magnetic focal point for all that is righteous and heavy in the fields of nullifying, grisly-grey nouveau-industrial anti-music of blackness. As Barrikad, Strom blasts forth with three intense packets of nitro packed...

C Joynes to present African music show

Tomorrow night’s radio show will feature special guest C. Joynes, playing ‘a sketchy and highly subjective selection of music from across Africa, drawing mostly on cassettes and CDs bought from vendors and market stalls – a hybrid of commercial folk and pop releases for Africans, rather than either ethnographic field recordings or world music...

Leaves From Off The Tree (BO’WEAVIL RECORDINGS WEAVIL16CD) is another shining example of contemporary folk music from the very fine UK singer Sharron Kraus, here part of a trio with friends American songstress Meg Baird and the avant cellist Helena Espvall. Together they recorded a selection of nine favourite folk songs and ballads (effortlessly...

El Jinete Del Cubo

Bumper package of materials from Miguel A. García in Spain, who impressed us last ish with his “stern and severe” approach to very minimal electronic noise on Armiarmak. In this generous bundle a number of his collaborative projects and solo endeavours are represented; I made a beeline for the long package with a picture...

This oddity arrived from Austin Texas about the end of last month from a person or organisation who dub themselves “Festival Of Failure”. Two intriguing found photographs, perhaps filched from the covers of Scientific American, convey something of the American aspirations through the 1960s and 1970s in the areas of sonic devilry. Open up...
