I look in the bathroom mirror for the eyes of someone who has suffered yet another scam by capitalism and see myself looking fit, fresh, and lucid. Then I understand, then it’s a fresco. I gather my saliva and spit into the sink: clean.

Sherwood is the guy who organizes and orchestrates the jams, reworks them, and abstracts them; he isolates the components and interrogates them one by one, bending them to his will through the mixer. It is the most obvious answer, and the closest to the truth, to what can us white people give to this music? An updated discontent, a new sense of rudimentality, but with fashionable polish for the parties of the new decade.

This review highlights how The New Age Steppers, a collective including members from The Slits and The Pop Group, created a unique punk-dub fusion under Adrian Sherwood's guidance. Produced in London circa 1980, the album is celebrated for its activism-inspired sound and innovative mixing. Vocal performances from Ari Up and Mark Stewart add distinctive layers reflecting anti-capitalist and urban guerrilla themes. The record stands as a seminal point in the evolution of English punk and dub music. Dive into The New Age Steppers' pioneering punk-dub sound and explore the roots of innovative 1980s music experimentation!
After some attempts still too indebted to the tutelary deities, we hear them here at full maturity, with a sound that finally replicates the physical deeds of their live performances. The result is uncommon ferocity and heterogeneity, and precisely in the boldness of the rhythmic blends, I find the most interesting reasons.

The scream has become deeper, guttural and phlegmy (the voice runs out live in about fifteen minutes); thus even more true. From the listening of Black Queer, there will remain not a phrase, a riff, a break, but a feeling of dismay.

Gerda's album Black Queer represents a deliberate departure into deeper, more guttural and unsettling hardcore music. The band evolves their sound with extended, dissonant structures and intense vocal delivery. Tracks like Hafenklang and Night showcase complex atmospheres and unpredictable progressions. This album leaves a lingering feeling of dismay rather than memorable riffs or phrases. A challenging yet rewarding experience for fans of experimental hardcore. Experience Gerda's Black Queer — dive into its dark, guttural depths and challenge your hardcore boundaries today.
The scream is idiotic and electric and mostly death. There is a defined attitude and a clear intention, a vocation for massacre.

The review praises Geld's album 'Perfect Texture' for its relentless intensity, featuring fast D-beat drums and aggressive screams reminiscent of Seattle's Iron Lung. The music balances brutal noise and hardcore elements with intelligent composition to avoid monotony. It highlights the band's clear attitude and focused intent, making it a notable contribution to the harsh noise and hardcore punk scene. Listen to Geld’s 'Perfect Texture' for a ferocious hardcore noise experience that pushes the limits of intensity and power.
If the album is a pale testimony of an otherwise vivid ballroom animator activity, damn don’t do it. It’s not fun to hear the musings of a bunch of high people if you’re sober and not their friend.

This review provides a critical and ironic look at Pop X's 'Musica Per Noi,' highlighting its chaotic and inside-joke heavy style that alienates casual listeners. The album is described as more enjoyable live and better suited to those close to the band or familiar with their scene. Despite its flaws and provocative content, it draws comparisons to other Italian cult acts and retains value for a very specific audience. References to Paola Tovaglia add a nostalgic touch. Dive into Pop X's 'Musica Per Noi' to experience its raw, irreverent spirit — if you can handle its chaotic charm!

"Tolkachev tends to hide what is exhibited in genre techno, skillfully working with illusion and deconstruction of rhythm to give a sense of compactness.", "His latest 12" has not reinvented himself in free-form, he hasn’t gone ambient. But almost."

A friend writes that Brutalism has crushed her sternum to the ground and crapped on her face while licking it. Talbot’s mother died, and the writing was affected by it. When Talbot in Mother says that the best way to scare a conservative is to read and get rich, he is not making a manifesto.

A crystal-clear vocal talent can be done without when there are happy compositional inspirations, absent here, and one dares in interpretation, which Aadae does not do. Highlife is supported by the chorality, by a warm sense of communion among musicians (an agape), which I cannot feel on this record.

Aadae’s Agape EP aims to bridge highlife's rhythmic vigor with contemporary pop-soul sensibilities. While the debut shows flashes of potential with catchy vocal lines and intricate arrangements, it lacks the compelling vocal expressiveness and communal warmth essential to highlife. The project is an interesting start but still feels underdeveloped and slightly restrained. Explore Aadae’s Agape EP and dive into its modern highlife-pop blend—listen now and decide if this fresh fusion speaks to you!
