Sujo ~ Kahane

Sujo on vinyl!  And what lovely vinyl it is, courtesy of the fine folks at Fedora Corpse Recordings.  Call the shade coffee, dirt or gold, depending on your concept of color, and add a touch of black: somewhat like the recording

Leo Abrahams + Oliver Coates ~ Crystals Are Always Forming

“Crystals are always forming,” say Leo Abrahams + Oliver Coates, and on this album, one can imagine the slow process in which they form, building on existing structures, sending tendrils across their surfaces like dendrites.  The album contains a clear culmination,

Sun Hammer + Radere ~ Lotophagen

Earlier this year, we reviewed separate releases by Sun Hammer + Radere on the Futuresequence label.  The two are friends, and this effort is not only a musical collaboration, but an expansion of that friendship.  Jay Bodley (Sun Hammer) changed states twice

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
