Excellent CD reissue of Fifteen Saxophones (UNSEEN WORLDS RECORDS UW06), a solo record by Dickie Landry who was a founding member of the Philip Glass Ensemble. There are a couple of his solo records on Chatham Square which predate this (and I suppose you’ll be lucky to see original copies of those), but this...
Took in five CDRs from the netlabel Dark Meadow Recordings which is a home to various marginal musics of a supernal nature…Ian Holloway‘s Silent Spring (DMRF07) is a single 45-minute piece of sinister drone-working intended to keep listener in a perpetual state of tension and achieves its disquieting effects with great economy.

How about these three Cardiff freaks who call themselves Bear-Man and produce a startling and vital jolt using drums, guitar and electronics…self-titled cassette tape of their unkempt live music is Phantomhead Recordings N.18 and the great line drawing cover depicts a fantasy version of the three young players depicted as hairy wildmen or semi-apes...

Tracker are a trio from somewhere in the Tyrolean range, who made quite a stir with their 2009 EP and have now had a...
We last heard from American composer Michael Gardiner when he collaborated with John Latartara on the fascinating and uncategorisable Beethoven Hammerklavier project. Here he is with an equally unique solo record Source Of The Symptom (VISCERAL MEDIA VMR 005), which amazingly began life as a piano recording of sorts, yet at first blow appears...
