vhf#118 Alexander Turnquist As the Twilight Crane Dreams in Color CD
Second full length from NY based guitarist Turnquist, who defies expectations with a set of hypnotic epics that owe more to classic minimalism than current notions of solo guitar. Forgoing most of the extended techniques of his debut, Turnquist concentrates on laying down a thick blanket of 12 string that sets up persistent loop-like patterns in the music. Simple and lovely strings, piano, and percussion accompaniment provide the melody, carrying most of the movement in the pieces. The palette of sounds and styles here is used with extraordinary control and restraint - the orchestrations are as reductionist as possible, with no cringe-inducing "string drama" or unnecessary virtuosity. The almost monomaniacal tremolo thrum of the guitar dominates the album, but there is a lengthy ambient breakdown that occurs midway through the 18 minute "The REM Cycle - Dream Phase" that is a thing of elliptical and drifting beauty. "As The Twilight Crane" is a bold statement even in the context of the frequent micro-parsing of styles in the sub-underground - there's really not much else out there like it. CD

vhf#119 Vibracathedral Orchestra Joka Baya LP
First in a trio of limited edition new LP’s from the ever mysterious Vibracathedral crew, returning from another relatively quiet period with an uncompromising set of outre’ jams. Slightly reorganized around a lineup of stalwarts Mick Flower and Adam Davenport with frequent collaborators John Godbert (Total) and John Moloney (Sunburned Hand of the Man), the band here stretches way, way out over these six sides, taking in several different styles while maintaining “that” sound all the way through. Joka Baya offers up a first side of short pieces, in a high-fidelity style that is in direct contrast to the dark, smoky sound of the rest of the tracks. The percussive grooves laid down by all 4 members are overlaid with Sunroof-like shimmer, stabbing electric leads, gentle acoustic rain, and droning organ peeking through at opportune moments. The roaring side-long epic on the flip is a droning, phasing slice of psychedelia with Moloney’s drums battering the tape in between long stretches of humming stasis. Cut by John Golden, audiophile pressed at RTI. Limited pressing. LP

vhf#120 Vibracathedral Orchestra The Secret Base LP
Second in a trio of limited edition new LP’s from the ever mysterious Vibracathedral crew, returning from another relatively quiet period with an uncompromising set of outre’ jams. Slightly reorganized around a lineup of stalwarts Mick Flower and Adam Davenport with frequent collaborators John Godbert (Total) and John Moloney (Sunburned Hand of the Man), the band here stretches way, way out over these six sides, taking in several different styles while maintaining “that” sound all the way through. The Secret Base starts up at full throttle, straight into the middle of a raw sounding live outing, Flower’s overdriven guitar occupying the same sonic space that gives his signature japan banjo/shaahi baaja workouts with Chris Corsano their urgency. The sound is dark and rough, almost Xpressway-like in its claustrophobic atmosphere. The percolating Krautrock stylings of “If you can’t smoke ‘em, sell ‘em” chugs along hypnotically for over 13 minutes to close out the side. On side 2, the entire 20+ minutes are devoted to the clanging free sound of “Eyes of Wood,” where gamelan-like metal percussion dominates the proceedings. Cut by John Golden, audiophile pressed at RTI. Limited pressing. LP

vhf#121 Vibracathedral Orchestra Smoke Song LP
Third in a trio of limited edition new LP’s from the ever mysterious Vibracathedral crew, returning from another relatively quiet period with an uncompromising set of outre’ jams. Slightly reorganized around a lineup of stalwarts Mick Flower and Adam Davenport with frequent collaborators John Godbert (Total) and John Moloney (Sunburned Hand of the Man), the band here stretches way, way out over these six sides, taking in several different styles while maintaining “that” sound all the way through. Smoke Song’s more gentle exposition starts with Davenport’s santoor (a type of hammered dulcimer) leading the band into a lengthy mid-tempo groove on “Smoke Song,” followed on the second half of the side by the short, quiet “Cholita Maria.” The second side’s 17 minute “Get it, got it” lays down the tremolo and phase in a probably unintentional echo of the best Spacemen 3 comedowns, taking a pulse and riding it into an organ and percussion fueled bliss.

"Out of Highway"

In the era when the "Outlaws" - Wille Nelson, Billy Joe Shaver, Waylon Jennings etc. - ruled the radio, another little outlaw was born in the back of a cop car somewhere in Gwinnett County Georgia. It took him many years and many roads (including stays in foster homes, a stint in the Navy and a run with a punk band) but eventually Willie Heath Neal returned to his roots and began bashing out the kind of outlaw country that used to be so famous but now is in short supply. Back then, "Outlaw" was more than a marketing ploy, it was a way of life. The myths mixed with the music. Neal remembers that time, and he delivers his trashed up take on honky tonk with that same sense of honesty.

OUT NOW! Master P on Atari Transformed The Remixes.  Going World Wide 02/02/2010!

ARTIST: Mochipet
TITLE: Master P on Atari Transformed Volume 1
CAT-NO: DCR147
FORMAT: Digital
RELEASE DATE: 02/02/2010

Master P on Atari Transformed Vol.1 sets the stage for a futuristic-in- your- face- you -betta -be- paying -attention robot sizzle meltdown. Master P Transformed travels beyond bassy and spacy with plenty of glitched out lazers locked full on the dancefloor.   The remixes have elements of Glitch, Hip Hop, and Electro, but it is still  David Y. Wang, AKA Mochipet guiding the way beneath it all.Track 01 John Coltrane on Atari is exceptional, an acoustic down and dirty tussle. Track 02 comes from the reknowned Kraddy, a money-back guaranteed dance  party banger. Newcomer to Daly City Records, Deceptikon / Zack Wright works his magic on Track 11 Master P on Chords and Coffee, its like gifting you with the perfect  espresso martini buzz.This is a remix record that really gives  the original Master P on Atari its fair due while allowing each artist to contribute their own distinct and  original touch. Also keep an eye out for Master P on Atari Transformed Vol. 2, released early 2010, with remixes by Jacob London, The Flying Skulls, Preshih Moments, Spltium, Encarti, Layerz, and more. -Daly City Records

Peanut Butter Wolf's Straight to Tape Vinyl

IN THE STORE:
Straight to Tape: 1990-1992 2LP

Wolf's early 90s productions were released on CD late last year, and now on vinyl. 

“Not so sure about anything with these songs except for the fact that I made them while living with my mom in the early 90’s and almost all were recorded with the rappers rapping through headphones plugged straight into the DJ mixer. My original idea with this comp was to put stuff I did throughout the 90’s in honor of the 999 shows I’m doing, but I just discovered SO MANY songs from this 3-year period that I made that the focus. I didn’t use compression on anyone’s voice nor did I know what that was back then. That’s why the vocals are all over the place. Most songs didn’t have effects on the voices either. A lot of adding loops on top of other loops live, which made it sloppy.”

Somali Pirates Hijack Mr. Chop/Pete Rock vinyl; Now Released, Available

IN THE STORE:
Mr. Chop - For Pete's Sake now on vinyl.
(Now-Again/Five Day Weekend)

Last October we announced Mr. Chop's For Pete's Sake - his cover versions of Pete Rock's best beats, released by Now-Again & Five Day Weekend - and we said the vinyl would be released in a matter of days. 

Unfortunately the vinyl went missing.  All of it.  It wasn't really hijacked by Somali pirates - we made that part up - but we're really not sure where it was.  All we know is it's here now. 

Mr. Chop is a producer, engineer and multi-instrumentalist behind several Now-Again and Jazzman Records releases.  Recent work as a co-producer & co-writer on a series of tracks on Born Like This from MF DOOM (who called him “the illest to grace the boards”) led to a chance to rework psych funk, jazz and rock covers of producer Pete Rock’s greatest beats, resulting in For Pete's Sake.

His is a unique take that has led to an album that the heads will recognize by, say, the Tom Scott sax-line Pete Rock poached for “T.R.O.Y.,” or a host of other sample-based calls and response that Chop has deconstructed and reassembled again.  These tracks were recorded at his Cheshire, England-based Ape Studios with the likes of The Heliocentric’s Malcolm Catto, Jake Ferguson and Mike Burnham, offering up a futuristic mixture of fuzzy psychedelia, funk and jazz, informed by years of record collecting and hip hop studies.

"Hello!  Below you will find "High Places vs. Mankind", the forthcoming album from High Places!  Set for release in early April, I hope that you will consider it for coverage in the coming months!

Here is a free mp3 of "On Giving Up":
http://thrilljockey.com/assets/freedownload/High_Places-On_Giving_Up.mp3

High Places vs. Mankind is the second long-playing album from Mary Pearson and Rob Barber. The title accurately suggests the album will take a slightly altered course from the "goodness as growth reflected in nature" motif of the band's eponymous debut (Thrill Jockey, September 2008). Instead, Mary and Rob are tackling the complex, gigantic subject of being human and what it's like to interact with other human beings. The album's subject matter covers a wide range; from romantic relationships to overcoming addiction, aging, and finally death in the closing track "When It Comes."

A digital single released on Halloween entitled "I Was Born" (perhaps ironically addressing the subject of birth as a precursor to the album?) demonstrated Rob and Mary using more standard instrumentation than the two had employed in the past. In High Places vs. Mankind, guitars play an important role, and here the band has often kept them sounding like guitars. Mary's vocals are less effected and more present. But many aspects of the High Places sound and aesthetic remain intact. One hears dance rhythms, stereo effects, accessible melodies, dub influence, and as always, a love of layering and of combining the unexpected into something cohesive and new.

In early 2010, High Places will release a second digital single and video before collecting both on a 12" that will feature additional and unreleased remixes. The band will tour North America and Europe this spring in support of High Places vs. Mankind, due out on Thrill Jockey Records on April 6th."  -Thrill Jockey

 TOUR DATES:

"We are very happy to present to you the fourth album, "...And Then We Saw Land", by the British collective Tunng.  Crafting a unique blend of rustic acoustic based folk, kitchen sink experimentalism, delicate electronics, and pop melodies that don't let go, Tunng weaves these parts into a seamless whole that's anchored by sweet male/female vocal harmonies.  As a little reminder, check out the video for the track, "Bullets", right here:

http://www.thrilljockey.com/vault/index.html?media_id=44

"Bullets" appeared on the album "Good Arrow" released in late 2007.  Since then, they have toured the US, Europe, and even collaborated with Tinariwen on an unprecedented and highly lauded tour of the UK.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2009/mar/20/tunng-tinariwen

Here is a free mp3 of "Don't Look Down Or Back" taken from "...And Then We Saw Land":

http://thrilljockey.com/assets/freedownload/Tuung-Dont_Look_Down_Or_Back.mp3

Since last we saw them, the band have been on adventures both personal (Mike went to India, Ashley moved to Somerset) and shared – such as their ten-day voyage of discovery with Malian desert bluesmen Tinariwen, a unique collaboration that aimed to fuse the sounds of the two bands together.  An experience that helped shape Tunng‘s approach to the new album “We learned that you don’t always need structure!  As long as there is presence, emotion and groove. It taught us that everything is open and adaptable...”

In the spirit of all that travel and experimentation, they’ve decided to call their new album \"…And Then We Saw Land\" – and it’s full of adventurous spirit. The first Tunng album to take more than a year to write and produce, it’s packed with big choruses and joyful tunes. “We wanted to make a record that would be a great live set,” says Mike. “My friend described it as ‘Epic Folk Disco Brass Magnificent,’ and I’m not sure you could call any other Tunng record that.”

Three songs contain what the band describe as The Mega Chorus – a 15-strong group of collaborators and drinking buddies who lent their voices to the album one rainy night in an abandoned school hall in Old Street.

"...And Then We Saw Land" is set for release in early April!" -Thrill Jockey

****

Who should have thought some incoming spawn would survive No More Invention (2008) ? — Yes Sirs, inside the Grand Procreator's consumed ashes, still half lying half standing thus was some rebel mass endowed with the urge to appear in face of the fallen stuff. It would be chemically determined as a following sacrificial revenge after Invention got lost 2 years ago in a Rock located in San Pedro Ville, France.

And then came rebellion appearing in its entire regained nudity, though it was given a load of Seltz water so it can endure its own terrifying blast power. Here it is — now Maniacs & Zealots, be afraid of intending to tickle the Beast from your players !

World In Sound presents Manifesto Zero, Gunslingers' second atrocious little deformed baby, recorded on the infuriated November of 2009 while evil-red-eyed wolves were getting enraged in the frightened night. No doubt it has to be a relentless sonic testimony in the style of throwing Vitriol at the snobbish subculture's face and, Willy-nilly, you'll be given a proper naughty chase and a sixfold punishment always greedy of its prey from start to finish.

Rhythmically Cyclopean _ as overexcited as starving due to the constant hammering of its ritualistic tempo & contra-tempo gluttony _, its disturbing debauchery of lysergic & contemplative elements gives besides the whole savagery thing some multiple-headed Beast aspect by leading its own sound color touch (& its obvious axis of devastation) right into the alley of a space glider under over-saturated hypnosis ; and more generally, into variable expressions & exploration areas which stand between Underground Rock Music's unclassified genres & subgenres.

Demented Guitar wall-of-acid-riffs, pissed off takeoffs & instrumental smashs on bewitchment mode, harmonic death traps, pulsatory frenzy & insane grooves in the likes of a vicious contortionist highway, startling surrealistic vocals sealed to a psychotic Daedalus-esque bass unfurling, and ultimately a scary statement of visceral power.

The whole thing devoted to the cult of analog 4 track tape recording, the everlasting oily machine & Slingers dynamo.

Manifesto Zero is nothing less than an authentic firebrand.

SCI’S RECENT DOUBLE LIVE CD RELEASE, TRICK OR TREAT, IS AVAILABLE NOW; ALSO SCI’S ROTHBURY PERFORMANCE NOW AT iCLIPS

The String Cheese Incident will perform a handful of “Incidents” in 2010. The band will play their greatest hometown venue, Red Rocks Amphitheatre, on July 23, 24, and 25. In addition they’ll set up camp at a site close to the band’s/fans’ hearts, Horning’s Hideout (near Portland, Oregon), July 29 through August 1.

(Fans can download SCI’s epic ROTHBURY 2009 performance in its entirety at www.iClips.net, and check out a sneak peek at www.stringcheeseincident.com).

By all accounts, The String Cheese Incident’s only performance in the past three years - at the ROTHBURY music festival in July 2009 - was magical. It left the band and its community itching for more. This summer, SCI steps into a new decade to deliver…

For this new era, SCI stays true to its roots - by nurturing their community and creating live musical experiences rather than just concerts. In 2010, look for SCI to continue to think out-of-the-box about their musical journey – hosting special events instead of the typical tour-routing, exploring new ways of releasing new recordings, and building on their reputation as innovators of fan participation.

The String Cheese Incident’s recent live release, Trick or Treat (SCI Fidelity Records / October 2009), offers fans a chance to relive the group’s legendary “Hulaween” Incidents. Known to perform special concerts comprised heavily of cover tunes each Halloween, Trick or Treat offers selections from SCI performances recorded at Atlanta’s Variety Playhouse (1998), Philadelphia’s Electric Factory (1999), Portland’s State Theatre (2000), New York City (2001), Los Angeles’ Shrine Auditorium (2002), Sin City’s Cox Pavilion (2003), and Madison Alliant Energy Center. The two-disc release is available now on CD, vinyl, and digitally at www.stringcheeseincident.com.

“With Communion we didn't have anyone calling all the time, asking which track was going to be the single, or anything like that,” says Lundberg. “It was the opposite of the Origin sessions. We could work in peace.”

Before I started Never Ending Tour, each tour I set up my Network from the bunch of people I know. Actually Boris should join our Russian tour, my first performance tour un Russia. Due to his problem to get visa, he stayed couple of days in Finland to wait for us continue Finland tour. So, instead Boris, Nikolay Roubanov, a excellent Saxophones joined our dates in St.Petersburg and Moscow. Rests of instant band are also involved in “Suomi” double CD with Boris. We had short tour but, very intensive moments and was really great experience for all of us. This is documentation of my very first Russian Performance. Only one camera in work, still it has great moments and great camera work , I should say. Contact : www.kailas.ru
