Jumble Hole Clough ~ Raising The Nap
A recent railway journey took your correspondent through the heart of English industry, now scarcely recognisable from the thriving centre it was fifty years – if that – ago. Buildings which housed all manner of machinery are now reduced to

Gregorio, Giallorenzo Duo ~ Multiverse
Improvisation can be a bit hit and miss as it’s impossible to strike gold every time, no matter how gifted a performer you are. Improvising in performance heavily involves the audience’s response, whether they are aware of it or not,

Matthew Collings ~ Splintered Instruments
Splintered Instruments calls to mind a seemingly unintentional question: “Why don’t we listen to pop music?” By we, I mean those reading this review, and by listen, I mean primarily ~ as there’s no escape from the popular tunes of the day. The

Various Artists ~ Your Victorian Breasts
Here’s a welcome oddity, a double-vinyl potpourri of demos, live tracks, collaborations, unreleased gems and genre-splicing originals. Unfortunately it’s not polite to mention the album’s title or inspiration (a Supreme Dicks song) in public. Mention to Grandma that this is

Ciènega ~ Viva Bocashi
It’s safe to bet that the members of Ciènega and A Shelter in the Desert know each other, given the fact that both hail from metropolitan Mexico, both play post-rock and both released albums within 12 days of the other. They

Pechuga de Pollodiabolo ~ Le seminaire #1
So this is Aztec dub. We’re not ready to proclaim it a new category yet, but it’s definitely worth the props. This is music for 21st century gunslingers, with one foot in stirrups and the other in a new Ford Tundra. Le
