Le grand meĢchant Cochon et les trois gentils petits loups / face A If you chew on some French, at least try the side. Listen to the words and the music, and the cover that does justice to the three cute little pigs with a charming counter-fable.

THOMAS LEER international 1978 Leer has proven to be genius with this homemade 45 RPM, I repeat, HOMEMADE. Apart from the sublime "Private Plane", this other gem also has sensational moments: the explosive ending at 3:18 is something few can produce.

I continue the #buzz review series, with which I aim to collect all the incredible and fascinating suggestions from our @[ALFAMA]. This is, so to speak, the second 'episode.'

Alameda 3 - Pozne krolestwo (2013)

Alameda 3 is a project by Polish multi-instrumentalist Kuba Ziolek, along with drummer Tomek Popowski and bassist Mikolaj Zielinski. We are presented with an album, 'Pozne krolestwo' (2013), that might seem monolithic or at least an episode of heavy psychedelia akin to that of various bands in the psychedelic scene like Cosmic Dead or Mugstar. Stuff we can say we've had enough of. But not this time. Because this album is a kind of space-opera that essentially unfolds in two long sessions of ambient drone music, where a liturgical sacrality reigns in the contemplation of creation, and which ultimately explodes into a thousand chaotic splinters of avant-garde noise fury. This is essentially the content of the last track of the album, which evokes certain experimental sounds of Japanese psychedelic music celebrated by archdruid Julian Cope, as much as contemporary episodes like the experiments of Colin Stetson and Mats Gustafsson. In between, there are three small sketches of folk psychedelia that recreate the same attitude of religious approach to other forms of life in our universe, in a quest for space as much as for inner analysis. Overall, there are sounds where the drone reigns supreme, filled with reverberations and at times classical suggestions of psychedelia. A work that reconciles us, first of all, with humankind and that ideally revitalizes the classic imagery of science fiction, condensing in thirty to forty minutes an entire imagination that spans from '2001: A Space Odyssey' to 'Solaris' and then to what is true science itself, man on the Moon, Spirit and Opportunity, the long endless journey of the Galileo probe.

Every now and then, even the legendary #zot2016 review stumbles upon something completely useless. At least in my opinion. Like today.

Pictish Trail - Future Echoes (Fire Records).

This little record was released last year by the historic Fire Records. Pictish Trail is the moniker of Scottish Johnny Lynch, one of the most interesting names in the British scene when it comes to a certain folk sound mixed with indie electronics. Stuff that, in its minimalist expressions, fits perfectly in situations like the Green Man Festival. The album is titled 'Future Echoes' and is produced by Johnny's longtime collaborator, Adam Ihan, who also contributes to the making of the record. In 'Future Echoes', moments of more dub-step rhythms alternate with Radiohead-esque atmospheres like 'Far Gone (Don't Leave)', mostly typical expressions of indie pop aesthetics such as 'Dead Connection', 'Lionhead', 'After Life', and 'ambient' moments that pay homage to Bonobo like 'Rhombus'. Overall, I couldn't digest it, but it seems to me like a record that's past its prime in relation to certain patterns and schemes that are now well behind us, even within the indie landscape. 1/5

chianura docet: Faust'o - Overtones "Fausto wanted to flip the table after barely touching upon the great assertion with the previous J'accuse (perhaps referring to the album Faust'O ed.). In search of various oddities, I brought him Flowers of Romance by PIL. He fell in love with it. This was his response: an album featuring only drums, bass, vocals, and tape. The voice sampled here comes from Tierkreis by Stockhausen." "to pull the threads of the discourse, to make a clean sweep, proposing an exaggeration of the ditty by denouncing its repetitiveness." (cit. Faust'O). Compare the lyrics of "exhibition of love" with those of "chant" (PIL). "Faust'o's intention, on this occasion...was to present an exaggerated example to evade the typical <verse-chorus-bridge> formula, completely resetting the rhetorical canons in favor of total emptiness." (cit. Joyello Triolo "dentro questi specchi" crac edizioni pag.61) @[Dislocation]
