Associates - A Matter of Gender (Peel Session) Schizoid punk version by John Peel is a hundred times better than the mid-tempo version of "The Affectionate Punch."

Wolf Eyes - Undertow (Lower Floor Music, March 24, 2017)

Another ghostly release from Detroit's Wolf Eyes on Lower Floor Music last year. A 12" flash in the style of vocalist Nate Young and saxophonist John Olson (with guitarist James Baljo completing the lineup). Traditionally a noisy group, here they engage in an experimental work that combines drone and electronic components with noise obsessions, straddling between avant-jazz attempts in the vein of Mats Gustafsson and a Suicide attitude. The title track is a kind of underground recital almost inspired by Jodorowsky, alongside "Laughing Tides," "Texas," and "Empty Island," creating avant-jazz happenings in a cyberpunk context both visionary and structural, a melting-pot of transcontinental sounds. "Thirteen," clearly the highlight of the release (because it lasts indeed more than thirteen minutes, almost fourteen), takes up that underground style, as in literally underground, of the first track, but amplifies the swirling of ghosts, with the evocative role of the saxophone echoing through the tunnels of an abandoned subway, while at the corner a gaunt version of John Lee Hooker strums a dissonant arpeggio and mumbles a hypnotic blues born of paranoid deviations. In essence, I really enjoyed it and highly recommend it; it has clearly made me want to dig back into their massive series of releases: a mission not easy to accomplish. One day.

3-4 stars

Circus Face Great performers. This is also a beautiful album, in full Young style: kind, frugal, and bursting with positivity.
 
Franco Battiato - Da Oriente a Occidente - 1973
I’ll conclude with a classic that’s less classic than the usual classics.

Fantastic Plastic Machine - Steppin' Out
How to give new life to other people's songs. Drowned in Martini with an olive.
 
Alberto Ginastera: Concerto for Piano No.1 (Movement IV) let's listen to the original for once, shall we?!
 
#OUT OF HOURS °°°° Francesco Messina - Prati Bagnati Del Monte Analogo
we're in 1979, I don't know Mr. Messina, but this gentle half-hour of landscape description is worth the whole ticket.
 
Villa-Lobos: Bachianas Brasileiras 4 - Orquesta Simón Bolívar & Roberto TibiriçÔ the Brazilian bachianas... mixing Bach with the sounds of Brazil might have seemed like blasphemy, it was a true stroke of genius....
 
Suumhow " Carne "
Here's a new work that I've been enjoying lately.
Simple recipe: dark ambient layer, a hint of fleeting melodies, and a noisy hailstorm on alien dance floors. After all, it's not an original recipe; many chefs have prepared far more indigestible dishes, but These hold their own. It's a record I would recommend to some users, I don't remember the name but they know who they are.
 
morphosis - silent screamer
A leap back a few years, dark ambient with a pulsating bass. Dancing in the Dark
 
Sure, thanks @[musicanidi] for copy/pasting the link, but how do you copy/paste text like you do with Abdullah's tablet?

Lauryn Hill - Doo-Wop (That Thing) (Official Video)
 
Liars | This Dust Makes That Mud
Don't worry, the track lasts eight minutes and five seconds; the rest is 22 minutes of the same loop repeating endlessly, I’ve never understood such pointless choices. A nice debut ruined by a useless prank. Maybe it’s something genius, but I just don’t get it.
 
Ana Vidovic plays Asturias by Isaac AlbƩniz a piece like this should only be listened to... and in silence...
 
Josef K - Radio Drill Time A perfect piece: dub bass, paranoid guitars, and quirky voices.
