FluiD/John 3:16 ~ The Pursuit of Salvation

John 3:16 is back again, this time on vinyl, and he’s brought a friend, industrial/hip-hop artist Christophe Gilmore (FluiD).  After 25 years in the business, the latter artist is still going strong, perhaps a sign that he was ahead of his

John 3:16 ~ Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God

When an artist calls himself John 3:16, he’d better be ready for theological discussion.  It’s a good thing this solo artist takes religion as his starting point.  While his works are inspired by faith, they are neither caustic nor traditionally worshipful.

HXDK ~ The Letting Go

HXDK‘s The Letting Go brings to mind multiple associations, including the Melissa Etheridge song of the same title (“I came here to let you know the letting go has taken place …”), the violent tantrum in the film version of Where the Wild

mouse on the keys ~ Machinic Phylum

Japan’s mouse on the keys possesses an instantly recognizable sound: hard piano playing accompanied by hard drumming, with slightly subtler bass accents (also played on the keyboards).  The band plays jazz for those who don’t usually like jazz, frequently laying an accessible

We Are the Wooden Houses ~ Halloween Haarp/Island of Death

Stephen Benson, half of Hills! Werewolves! Run!, is also half of We Are the Wooden Houses, but the two groups sound totally different from one another.  The former takes post-rock as its starting point, while the latter delves into psych, raga

Vincent Malassis ~ passages

We’ve only just discovered the Drone Sweet Drone catalog.  Yesterday we reviewed Benjamin Jarry’s Splendid Isolation, which we classified as modern composition with a drone influence; today we turn to Vincent Malassis‘ passages, which we define as drone with a modern composition

Benjamin Jarry ~ Splendid Isolation

Drone Sweet Drone Records is a delightful new French label that came into existence at about the same time as our site.  While drone is their raison d’être, many of their artists tend to wander into the arena of modern

Overlapse comes to us from the Portuguese netlabel Enough Records (“Free Music For Free People”), whose philosophy we somewhat agree with (free is nice) and somewhat not (we like our vinyl!).  But any label that brings us fine music is a
