 Ami Shavit can be defined as a composer by chance whose invaluable work, both musically and conceptually, unfortunately largely lost, has been fortunately collected in these two publications.

Ami Shavit's 'Neural Oscillations And Alpha Rhythms' is a fascinating minimalist album rooted in his research on biofeedback and alpha brain waves.

Rediscovered and reissued by Finders Keepers, the album offers meditative soundscapes influenced by artists like Tangerine Dream and Philip Glass. The review highlights Shavit as a unique composer whose conceptual and musical contributions are invaluable despite being largely overlooked. Discover Ami Shavit's unique minimalist soundscapes blending philosophy and biofeedback—listen to Neural Oscillations now!

 The album is indeed somewhat "monolithic": the band’s sound appears as solid as a true wall of sound with a pulsating heart of post-industrial mechanics.

 The repetitiveness of the sounds, noise suggestions, and the post-punk garage attitude remain, however, the Skull Defekts’ trademark and also of this ideal soundtrack of an end through seppuku, the ritual completion of an artistic journey.

The Skull Defekts announce their final album after a rich career marked by experimental and post-industrial music. Despite difficulties during recording, the album balances composed and improvised elements, enhanced by Mariam Wallentin's hypnotic vocals. The sound is solid and monolithic, blending influences from Suicide, Bauhaus, and Einsturzende Neubauten. This release serves as a fitting end to the band's creative journey. Listen to The Skull Defekts' final album and experience their powerful experimental legacy.

 This album indeed does not hurt. But it doesn’t do any good either.

 It’s like drinking a glass of water completely stripped of any mineral component.

The Sufis' third album After Hours marks a change in musical direction, blending late seventies pop dance and indie pop influences.
