At end of January we received the new CDR from Hearts Of Palm, the beyond-underground team of noise-improvisers based in Cincinnati. ballglovemask (NO NUMBER) exists in a run of just 50 copies and was recorded by the foursome of Chamberlin, Hancock, Renschier and Wilson at a studio in 2009. Outdoing even their own past...
From Fang Bomb in Sweden (arrived late January 2011) we have a double-cassette box by Neghantil called 1990-1996 (FANG BOMB FB015), presented in a rather stern and foreboding package; flip the lid from the box and you have a set of 6-by-6 art prints suggesting various uncertain and paranoid mental states using collage, xerox...

Another tasty French casserole from Franck Vigroux, a half-hour CD simply called Live (D’AUTRES CORDES RECORDS DAC 191) where he hammers his turntables mercilessly along with some spirited poundage from the drummer Rodolphe Loubatiére. Minimal this one ain’t; the pair are determined to fill just about all the available space with noisy and lively...
