Moby Dick-Led Zeppelin(Studio)
One of the most successful instrumental pieces ever in the history of hard rock; the best of Bonzo.

Absolute icon of those (fantastic) years.

Gary Moore - Blues For Greeny (1995)
Because to be great, one needs the right dose of presumption, arrogance, and awareness of their enormous abilities, but above all, the humility and inner happiness of having had masters to whom they always pay tribute...
Here Gheri does it with an entire album dedicated to his Peter Green...

XTC - Wonderland All it takes is one track for Style Council's "Long Hot Summer" to leave them feeling high (a band I thank only for having Tracey Horn sing the excellent score of "The Paris Match"). Well, to be honest, Weller only excites me with "Going Underground." But I'll tell you more: this song anticipates the American house sound by eight to ten years with its synthetic groove. You travel suspended above a tranquil nebula.
Rave on on your magic eden!

Seikima II - Akuma Nativity - El Dorado

Seikima II is a Japanese heavy metal band formed in 1982, known for their Kabuki-inspired makeup and flamboyant outfits. The notoriety of Seikima II in Japan is quite high; they are considered a legendary heavy metal band in their country. The group has sold over 10 million copies just in Japan. In 1991, they began performing their first concerts abroad in neighboring Asian countries and in Europe, particularly in England and Spain. The group disbanded on December 31, 1999; however, in the 2000s, the band had several limited reunions.
 
Said/done. This time the #buzz review doesn’t take us much back in time (as it's a record released last year) but rather into deeper space. At the helm of our spaceship, of course, is captain @ALFAMA.

Demdike Stare - Cosmogony (DDS, September 21, 2017)

Demdike Stare is a duo from Manchester consisting of DJ Sean Canty and producer Miles Whittaker. The duo is a minor presence in the UK underground, yet they have made themselves known in the past for their combination of minimal electronics and more avant-garde sounds. This record, however, is truly special and exceptional, as it is a work commissioned by the esteemed Ina-GRM, aka "Groupe de recherche musicale de l'Institut de l'audiovisuel," born out of the will of French avant-garde composer Pierre Schaeffer (1910-1995), who can be considered one of the founding fathers of so-called "musique concrète." This is how "Cosmogony" was born, a work released solely on audiocassette and ideally divided into two parts, conceptually dedicated to the birth of the cosmos and the origin of the universe, with a first part rich in space ambient suggestions and a second much more minimalist, indeed significantly more inspired by typically "concrète" content. The final result is damn convincing, as if the duo were truly akin to the great minimal and avant-garde composers of the past from Karl-Heinz Stockhausen to John Cage... Comparisons that may seem daunting, yet they do not "clash" in the face of such a well-executed work.

The #zot2017 review presents you today with a particularly experimental episode featuring one of the best artists and musicians around for the past thirty years.

Jim O'Rourke - Steamroom 31 (Self-Released, January 09, 2017)

Jim O'Rourke continues to release unreleased material and rarities through his Bandcamp page. On this specific occasion, I focused on listening to his "Steamroom" (which is the name of his studios) number 31, released last January and the first in a series of experimental works by the Chicago musician (who has now permanently settled in Tokyo, Japan) throughout 2017. The three compositions that make up the "release" are very interesting and showcase the more ambient and experimental aspects of O'Rourke's music. They consist of three long compositions created to accompany three visual works by director Takino Makashi (some of his works are available on YouTube). They are mostly abstract pieces filled with electrified and chaotic splashes of color, reminiscent of a Pollock painting. The three compositions, designed to accompany the visuals, last between twenty and thirty minutes. It ranges from the minimalist ambient of "Generator" to the expressionist no-wave of "Still In Cosmos," which opens with post-industrial noise before unleashing into an electro-magnetic noise storm. Finally, there are the thirty minutes of "The Seasons," a session of droning spatial ambient made up of amplified sound overlays filled with reverberations, feedbacks, and noise pulsations. A work that is certainly not easy listening and primarily dedicated to complementing visual works, but that proves to be effective even when presented detached from Makashi's context, as we simply need to close our eyes and imagine sequences of images in total freedom, detached from any preconceived notion and allowing ourselves to be guided solely by the music.
