Man Forever ~ Pansophical Cataract

The players sit down. The tape starts rolling. ‘Ladies and gentlemen…’ announces the MC, ‘the very best of order. Drumroll, maestro, please.’ The drum begins rolling. A tom-tom, mind, not a snare. Then more drums. And then more. Then a

L.T.D.M.S. ~ (« Insérer titre »)

Recommended if you like: roosters, flutes, and repetition.  That’s not a common combination, but it’s a fair description of this 8-piece Belgian band’s 50-minute, 4-track post-rock album. The rooster comes into play on the first track, “Douze”, which is bracketed

These Ship Wrecks ~ Raw Powerless

Gargle ~ Glow in the Gloom

A little alliteration is present in the hard “g” sounds of the title and band, but a soft “g” might have been more fitting since Glow in the Gloom is an album of smoother edges.  The press release touts “sensitive and pathetic
