School House Rock! Rocks (1996)

Allmusic Review

Sing the phrase "I'm just a Bill, yes I'm only a Bill" to any American between the ages of 25 and 40 and they'll answer "and I'm sittin' here on Capitol Hill" without thinking twice. "I'm Just a Bill" was only one of dozens of School House Rock! animated videos that ran on ABC Saturday morning TV throughout the '70s ...
Beyond the undeniably delicious nostalgia trip, the compilation shows the surprising songcraft of the original tunes. The fabulous "Interplanet Janet" performed by Man or Astroman? could easily be mistaken for a proto-punk space saga. Matching the songs with alt-pop darlings like Better Than Ezra, Ween, Buffalo Tom, and the Lemonheads is a logical progression, continuing the tradition of melody-centered pop carried by earnestly pretty singing.
There are also some great surprises. Biz Markie turns in a stride piano version of "Energy Blues," which sounds remarkably like the original. Moby udpates "Verb:That's What's Happening" with an Ant music beat and crackly vocal effects. Blind Melon is perfect for the '70s feel-good vibe of "Three Is a Magic Number." It's proof of the power of nostalgia when a song about multiplication, with its rolling jam-band rhythms and naive imagery of a nuclear family "a man and woman had a little baby/and that's a magic number," along with Shannon Hoon's wispy vocals, has unexpected resonance of lost childhood.

2. "I'm Just A Bill" - Deluxx Folk Implosion
3. "Three Is a Magic Number" - Blind Melon
4. "Conjunction Junction" - Better Than Ezra

Instra:Mental - Zones

Instra:Mental get their mid-period Autechre on. Cold and clinical, deep machine music with not a small hint of life underneath the hiss and snap.

We've got a tiny handful of the latest Semantica release, courtesy of Instra:mental. 'Sun Rec' sees the duo swing into mid-tempo mode with cruising machine breaks offset by trickling IDM-esque synth arpeggiations. 'Love Arp' pays tribute to one of their favourite boxes at a 130bpm electro flex with spiraling synth twists and their characteristic melodic shifts. Comes housed in plain card sleeve, get one while you can.

Space Dimension Controller - The Love Quadrant

Excited to finally get this one on wax - the official digital version seems like a bad rip, way too quiet. This is better.

Hi-concept inter-dimensional disco-tronic fusions from Space Dimension Controller, aka Belfast's Jack Hamill. The young producer has created something quite special for the second release on Kinnego Records (run by Boxcutter and friends) taking cues from jazz-fusion inspired disco-house, electronica and perhaps a touch of the auld dubstep to create two gorgeous groovers with an uncannily well-defined character. A-side 'The Love Quadrant' contains the space-waif vocals of Kat Kirk over skweeed purple synths with distant keys and a grandly spacious atmosphere backed up by a story that we won't go into right now (you'll have to buy it to find out!), while the flipside takes a more abstract and dubbier option overidden by a uniquely odd sense of melody and harmony with a strange metallic sound sphere. Maybe the best way we could put it would be if Boxcutter met Black Devil Disco club for a session on Mir, and Buzz Aldrin recorded it from the next pod, it may sound like this. Check!!

And last but certainly not least

Pearson Sound - Blanked / Blue Eyes

This guy has been the electronic singles artist of the year under the Ramadanman moniker (Girl Unit came close, but Ramadanman's comparitively frantic output and the unassailable quality of everything has put him up top) and his last 12" is under his Pearson Sound guise. His signature sound has been distilled and refined over the months, and the basic core conceit is still in full force - meticulously textured and arranged minimalist Juke patterns that eventually give way to immensely devastating synth chords. Not an inch of fat or moment of unskilled production.

Ramadanman switches to his Pearson Sound alter-ego for two killer Juke-infused roll-outs on Hessle Audio. 'Blanked' is the one you want, mapping percussive patterns somewhere on the cusp-of-'ardcore-and-garage, and Chicago Juke styles with a stunning midway drop sounding like early '90s Autechre pads. 'Blue Eyes' takes the flipside for a straighter revision of the Juke sound with brittle, splintered rhythms and succinct synth drops and that infectious female vocal snippet, but for the most part this is just a perfectly formed naked roller ready for mixing by able DJs. While the distinctions between his two sonic personalities are becoming blurrier, there's a much-reduced aesthetic to these tracks that set them apart from pretty much all his recent material, making this a certified winner. Big twelve!

To mark the imprint's 10th anniversary n5MD has assembled a very special compilation with a slightly different viewpoint. “The Reconstruction of Fives” features songs from the n5MD catalog covered by a hand picked group of like minded and personally admired artists. Pale Sketcher (Justin Broadrick/Jesu/Final), Nadja, Architect (Daniel Myer/Haujobb), worriedaboutsatan, Bersarin Quartett, Ben Lukas Boysen (Hecq), Jasper TX, Rafael Anton Irisarri (The Sight Below), Boy Is Fiction, and Miwon all re-envision their favorite n5MD tracks in their own signature styles. Two of n5MD latest signings Dalot and Winterlight also weigh in on covers from two of the label's alumni. A different perspective on n5MD's output which is a must have for fans of the label or any of the participating artist's bodies of work.

[TheFuriousWombat]

Two releases by Jon Dale, the man formerly behind Rhizome records.

First up is 1997-2003 released under the Moth moniker. As the title suggest, this is a collection of eight Moth tracks recorded over a six year period. Dale primarily uses organ, guitar, and amplified metal to create an incredibly haunting, rich dronescape. Tracks vary wildly. Untitled 8 is nearly 11 minutes of gorgeous glowing guitar drone, the soundtrack to the sun rising blood red over the desert. Untitled 5 is composed almost entirely of dense organ, shifting ever so subtly across its 16 minute run time into a swelling, hypnotic sea of noise. Untitled 1 is a spooky journey into an ancient, fog filled forest. Guitars chime heavily like distant funeral bells beneath a thick covering of slow, rumbling haze. Untitled 7 almost sounds like a jazz standard slowed way down. It's the most percussive track on the album with  real drums instead of the strange shards of metal which seem to be the primary percussive of choice elsewhere. The drums rumble and shuffle with a thickly reverby, high end, undulating dial tone swirling over top. All in all "1997-2003" is an intensely beautiful collection of songs and is pretty much essential for fans of Jefre Cantu-Ledesma, Jasper TX, even Stars of the Lid.

Code: [Select]

http://www.mediaf!re.com/?raa5zda95h1soh5
Next is Son D'ora release by Dale under his own name from 2005 comprised of a single 20-minute long track. This sounds a good deal like the Moth release above but in a lot of ways this is more developed, a more mature piece of drone work. As in all good drone music, the subtleties are what make this worthwhile. While this could work as background music of a sort, it really demands careful listening with headphones. A cursory listen will let you know that a humming organ drone sustains throughout the single track, shifting at times here and there but largely remaining a constant presence of trance inducing noise. Beneath the surface hypnotic guitars swirl and glow while ominous metallic scrapes and clanks claw through. It soon becomes apparent how densely layered the sonics are here and the more you listen, the more deeply mysterious a piece of music this comes to be. Both sonically assaulting and mesmerizing, this is on my list of essential drone.

Hype Williams - Han Dynasty

The only dudes making what people keep saying Drag Music is supposed to be. It's basically those early, murky Mellow Gold demos, but taken seriously as "hypnagogic" music. Fun and "important".

Available digitally for the first time, Hype Williams' 'Han Dynasty' 7" tracks, plus a bonus cut not previously available on the vinyl. From the sound of duppied R&B in pt.1, pt.2 fragrances a more secluded post-punk space with zombied bass guitar hook and probably-drooling vocals delivered so slack-lipped and munted that drugs or strong religious invocations must have been involved. Part 3 is the most substantial, wandering along some cheap casio keyboard with a faded baroque, chamber music-like quality that sounds like Spencer Clarke starting to suffer fatigue in the 57th hour of a nonstop ritual performance. If you've not checked it before, these tracks only serve to heighten Hype WIlliams' deeply mysterious and inexplicable style. Awesome.

Anworth Kirk & Demdike Stare - Samhain Slant Azimuth

It's Nurse With Wound for the new millennium, which is to say it's more or less inexplicable. Weird stuff. Presented as one hour-plus long track.

Samhain Slant Azimuth is a 50 track sound and music collage that was performed and mixed by Pre-Cert's Anworth Kirk and Demdike Stare between 23.30 and 00.39 on 31st October 2010 (Hallowe'en). Taped at a mutual domestic residence for the entertainment of family and friends, Pre-Cert have pressed a very limited amount of physical copies available exclusively here. Adhering to their Part Art/Part Trash research model, this 69 minute session delves into the macabre, combining the label's key influences including sound research libraries / V.H.S. video culture / electronic Folkways records / Germanic Kunstmärchen / Italian Fumetti / Indian Horror Films / sound poetry / tape manipulation / outsider art and field recordings to name just a few. Boasting the signature characteristics of Demdike Stare's vinyl trilogy and the newly released Anworth Kirk LP, 'Samhain Slant Azimuth' continues to give a stylistic nod to the folkloric/industrial landscape of the anti-labels local history while providing a glimpse at their soon to be revealed archive of disparate noise.

501 - Rise & Fall / Ultraviolet

Weirdly enough I initially got 501's Short Circuit single because the blurb I had read about them said they were Subway doing dubstep-type stuff. I took this to mean they were the bass music guise of acid techno veterans Subway, but in retrospect they were probably fresher-faced DJs releasing stuff on Subway records, which has nothing to do with the acid act. This new single is fairly bruvstep-ish, which is to say it sounds a lot like Caspa.

Demdike Stare - Forest of Evil

The first Demdike Stare album from this year. The second one was a classic and the third is coming to me in the mail, but I've just dipped my toes into this one. It's dark. These guys aren't playing.

*First in a series of three albums to be released from Demdike Stare this year - taking in broken sound experiments, unfurled dub and haunted strings...* Lancashire's sons of occult darkness push off into the night with the first in a triptych of spellbinding vinyl-only LP's. 'Forest Of Evil' is a direct elevation and expansion of the ideas expressed on the debut album, 'Symbiosis', literally breaking down multiple elements to run as two extended pices - one on each side, giving more scope to suck us into an abyssal vortex of inky blackness without interruption. The sides are themed as 'Dusk' and 'Dawn', entry and exit points for a trip where owt can happen in between. On the palindromic 'Dusk' tentative strings with one eye on Alice Coltrane imbue an astral sense of wonderment before plunging us head first into the cold water of elliptical percussion. With lungs and ears flooded we're churned in a current of Shackleton-esque percussion at the bottom of a tarn, high in the hills before returning to the coruscating strings on the surface. With 'Dawn' a battery of warlocks forge a martial tattoo, like Regis sent to the dark ages to live out his fantasies with a medieval drum circle. And then, out of nowhere, an ominous veil of layered strings emerges out of nothing to sweep us away with vintage elements and ghostly traces of sound last heard on the sublime last album from the Caretaker as quivering subbass tremors threaten to open the ground beneath the turntable. Approach this when under the influence of magic potions for maximum rewards... Very Highly recommended.

Heavy Winged - Sunspotted

Sounds sort of like... Swans playing at Birthday Party tempos, minus vox. It's heavy.

Type records break new ground with Jed Bindeman's Heavy Winged trio. Contemporary avant and heavy instrumental rock fiends will probably be familiar with the group's sprawling, cacophonous mass of CDRs, cassettes and wax for NNF, Digitalis and Aurora Borealis, but unless you're in the band yourself, you've never heard them playing quite like this before. The underground safety net of lo-fi recording techniques has been torn down in order to reveal electrifying sheets of distorted guitar noise and a heavy welt of blast drums with unsettling proximity the listener. There's still enough grit in the recording to demonstrate that we're not listening to a major studio production, but the new found clarity brings us closer to a "real" representation of the group, comparable to actually sitting in the room with them while they power through two extended tracks of transcendent, ritualistic and incredibly dark music. The intuitive balance of fidelity and dirt, harmony and discord makes this album worthy of comparisons with both Yellow Swans and early Mogwai or Sonic Youth, and if that means anything to you, then 'Sunspotted' requires your immediate attention. Highly recommended.

Jam City - Magic Drops

Possibly the last release for the year on the unstoppable Night Slugs imprint. Jam City's last was a pretty excellent set of house / ghetto house remixes, but these are all originals. Terror Danjah / Swindle-esque grime instrumentalism. It grows on you pretty quickly. "2 Hot" is going to go places.

Night Slugs introduce the debut proper from the highly touted Jam City, following his essential estival anthem 'Ecstasy'. While he's been tipped as "the most exciting prospect in House" by the likes of Fact magazine, the three tracks of 'Magic Drops' are fundamentally influenced by early Grime, specifically Wiley's lean and efficient Eski Beat. The lead cut rolls off a damn cold fusion of taut, swaggering crunk snaps and glassy bleeps with glaring robo-grime synthline and a necessary trace of heat from alien-exotic, neon-lit keys. On the flip the equally sparing 'Scene Girl' will make lesser producers blush at his virile R&G moves while the dancefloor won't be able to hold back, and then there's the more dense and menacing '2 Hot', gliding into tranced-out instrumental Grime zones with sublimely suspended halfstep syncopation. You can bet your life there's gonna be some killers from this guy in 2011, but for now this 12" makes us very happy...

Light Club - Night Bulbs EP

I have no idea where this act is from but from the sound of the music and the list of remixers I'm going to guess Scandinavia - there's a definite Skweee feel to a lot of the music, though the opener "Scirocco Night Drive" sounds like a lost Plaid classic. Bare essential electrofunk.

Expanded digital edition of this dope debut from Light Club, now including remixes from V.C, Grimace, Miramichi and Boss Kite. Like we said before **He gets top marks just for the title of 'Scirroco Night Drive', but the woozy, Carpenter-esque synths and spindly crunk beats reall ain't too shabby either. Following this, 'Sweet' is fonky little Skweee-like HipHop number, but matters get much more muddied with the ghoulish construction of 'Ghost', which sounds like some crooked Benelux darkwave experiment beamed into a wonky 2010, and 'Nick Nolte' is left to dot he Mr. Soft strut in style** For the remix session V.C. gives a lushly smudged revision of 'Scirroco', Grimace reinforces 'Sweet' for the club and Miramichi redoes 'Ghost' with a hero theme propulsion.

Rafael Anton Irissari - The North Bend

Ambience in the Caul / Eluvium / Nest vein. Simply gorgeous.

It doesn't get any easier writing about dark-ambient music, and certainly there are only so many adjectives you can usefully throw around the place to describe the music at hand. Often in this genre, what separates the good from the mediocre, and in turn the great from the good, tends to be something intangible that resides within the atmosphere a piece conjures, and (speaking from first-hand experience) trying to verbalise just what that is can often make you sound like a bit of a divvy. Having said all that, Rafael Anton Irisarri's music is rich in imagery, and like Wolfgang Voigt's corpus as Gas it seems to paint a synthesized portrait of a particular place and time without getting too directly involved in it, in the more documentary style of Chris Watson and the like. During The North Bend you'll hear sounds that draw you into natural landscapes, but also muffled micro-melodies and huge, immersive sonic vistas fashioned from gusty electronic plumage. The standard and scope of production places Irisarri within the upper crust of artists in his field, and as with his work as The Sight Below the well-rounded depth of his sound will keep you returning time and time again. From the anthemic, looped fanfare of 'Traces' to the intoxicating, balmy orchestrations of 'Blue Tomorrows', every corner of this album brims not only with artistry and accomplishment but also a stealthy emotive grandeur that holds your attention for long after the record has finished. So yes, it's a struggle to convey the sense of what this music is without getting a little bit wishy-washy or sentimental, but The North Bend is without doubt one of the more worthy albums of its kind and deserving of your full and immediate attention. Highly Recommended.

Phochos - Glaciers

Sorta like that last one but a little bit quicker and a lot more synthetic. Very Vangelis / Alexander Brandon-circa-Deus Ex. The b-side introduces a house beat to bring out all the drama for your cyberpunk dance party.

Gorgeously cinematic, beatless ambience from Dutch synth boffin and amateur astronomer Jos Lieferink. 'Glaciers' sounds like it could have taken from a vintage library record, which is kind of explained by the fact that he's been actively making this stuff since the mid 1970s. His contemporary analog, Legowelt, offers a mix of 'Interface Phrase A', adding a Chicago jack engine and his trademark vintage synth works for added drama. Ace.

Raime / Regis - If Anywhere Was Here He Would Know Where We Are

I got the last Raime EP on vinyl and deigned to get this one digitally. Wish I could switch 'em, because I think this one's a lot better than the last. There's a definite Shackleton or even late Coil vibe to this song - tribalistic, repetitive drum motifs and droning synths slithering around in the dark. I'm definitely putting it in my Fallout: New Vegas custom radio station. The Regis remix sounds a bit like an uncharacteristically angry Pantha du Prince, in a good way.

After their incredible dystopian debut crept out of a sewer somewhere, Raime drop the 2nd Blackest Ever Black release, backed with an exceptional Regis remix. 'If Anywhere Was Here He Would Know Where We Are' is another side of hugely evocative dread minimalism, all suggestive tones and ghoulish rhythms writhing somewhere between Dubstep and ritualistic industrial zones. If anything this track offers less melody and even fewer stylistic signposts, while equally creating a greater space for the arcane mind to inhabit. In a stroke of A&R genius, the label has also secured one of Regis' finest remixes of recent years o'er on the flip - and coming from some of his biggest fans, we don't say that lightly. Versioning 'This Foundry' from the 1st 12", Regis dowses for the darkest Techno substance, wading chest deep in dank, fetid and ethereal ambience while propelled by a current of subs-driven steppers techno drums more akin to Shackleton than anything you've heard from him before. Darkside b'stards, your time!

Speaking of Shackleton


Shackleton - Man On A String Part 1 and 2

I have yet to get his (apparently awesome) Fabric mix but these are two extra-long tracks from the UK veteran, bringing his love of African rhythms into very dark places. Like First Dark Ride-era Coil. Hypnotic.

Shackleton enters the void left by Skull Disco with the launch of a brand new and somewhat unexpected new imprint: Woe To The Septic Heart! It's become a noticable trend that when Shackleton produces for other labels he tends to adjust ever so slightly towards their aesthetic, but Septic is clearly the place to go for the most esoteric, personal strains of his sound. 'Man On A String Parts 1 & 2' maps out a florid jungle scene populated with telepathic drum circles and spiraling sequences of melodica-like tones organised in ritual formations over a sprawling 10 minute duration. By contrast 'Bastard Spirit' is like the evil character lurking in the undergrowth, beating a super slow and martial bass tattoo with groovesome swagger and all of the melody emitted from tilted percussive timbres and the presence of menacing subbass harmonics, all designed to put dancers in a drowsy, hypnagogic state in order to be infiltrated by the titular entities. With the awesome full colour artwork from Skull Disco sleeve designer, Zeke Clough, this looks like being the start of something very special indeed. Deadly.

Starkey - Space Traitor Vol. 1

The progenitor of Street Bass and pretty much the only good dubstep artist in the USA comes back with a continuation of the goofy sci-fi radio serial / musical he's explored on various podcast mixes. The usual widescreen cinematic American grime, polished to a mirror sheen. Ital Tek shows up to provide a pretty good remix alongside a number of Street Bass-oriented upstarts that I've put up in the last few months (+Verb and Kaiser) plus a Rudi Zygadlo remix that is surprisingly not terrible. In fact it might be the most interesting thing on the EP.

Chunky bundle from Starkey, combining his 'Space Traitor EP' 12" with remixes from Egyptrixx, Kaiser, Rudi Zygadlo, ARP101, and Ital Tek. These are some of his first new productions since the 'Ear Drums And Black Holes' LP dropped at the other end of the year, firing out the lurid rave ruffige of 'Robot Hands' and the mad grimey string slashes of 'Holodeck' plus a laidback moment with regular vocalist Anneka. The CD also includes his exclusive 'Lenses', next to the slippin' cyber Funky remix of 'Robot Hands' by Egyptrixx and a splendidly screwed and agitated Wonky revision of 'Paradise' by Arp101. Perhaps most impressive of all is Ital Tek's dread-filled sci-fi-step version of 'Playing With Fire'. Heavy stuff.

One more thing!


Speed Dealer Moms - Speed Dealer Moms EP

It's Venetian Snares + the guitarist from the Red Hot Chili Peppers. How? It is a mystery. There's not a lot of guitar in it. Or any, for that matter. But it's acid-y, much more like Last Step than Snares (well, outside of Filth and a few scattered tracks elsewhere). Improvisational, apparently.

Second release on Venetian Snares' Timesig imprint is a much touted collaboration between himself and RHCP's guitarist John Frusciante. To date they've only played a handful of shows together, concentrating largely on what sounds they can carve out of a 303 and 808. To be totally fair, 'March_Three-3' just sounds like a typically spazzy V. Snares composition. Perhaps there is an underlying melodic structure which isn't always at the root of an Aaron Funk track, but basically Frusciante's input isn't immediately noticeable. Much the same can be said of 'March_Four', but again, this sounds like it could just be from Snares' Last Step project. Either way, hardly anyone else out there makes music as twisted and beguiling as this, so you now what to do.

Good suggestion, very nice little EP! I kinda think it would be better without vocals though...

Arp 101 - Flush EP

Hissing, scratching instrumental hip hop stuff, on the relatively low-key Eglo imprint. Like Floating Points gone Skweee.

Eglo's enigmatic secret weapon drops three fluoro R&B heavyweights for the future funkateers. From the crushed and discombobulated acid boogie of 'Flush' on the A-side you know this is gonna be a special session, before cruising the interstellar funk vortex to a proper low-rollin' cosmic-gangsta ride on 'Korg-A-Tron'. Finally 'Ac!d' tips the scales back into resplendent Dam-Funk territory, fingers dripping with greazy synth juices but still causing enough friction through fizzing, spasmodic drum machine splurts for that bona fide funk itch. The likes of Benji B, Martin Cark, and Alex Nut are understandably all over this one...

Point B - Free Standing Structure EP

More IDM-leaning than most anything Point B has made. Pretty awesome.

Not heard from Point B for a while following on from his excellent twelves for Scsi and Combat a couple of years back, with this latest twelve for the Frijsfo Beats imprint displaying a more robust approach to electronic science with a sound somewhere between UK Garage, Dubstep and IDM. "Detritus" opens the set with a sped-up Garage formulation complete with dubby stabs and nicely stripped synthwork before "No Smokes" hooks up a modified square bassline for a shuffling stepper with a good dose of spannered synths thrown in for good measure. "Istocity Meter" on the flipside is the best thing here, getting hold of a demented 2-step vibe supported by a nicely freaked out vibe with elements of Bassline and IDM thrown into the pot, before Kuoyah's remix of "Someone Else's Past" closes the set with another re-built Garage template doing the trick with considerable low-end savvy. Good twelve.

Hey music forum.
It's been a while. A few years I guess.
So. How's it going? Is Khar still a lovable dick?
Who has currently quit the Internet for the time being?
Does Tommy still exist here? Does the chatroom still exist?

I guess I thought about you on and off sometimes.
So I was listening to this new Destroyer album, and I just remembered you.
And I went, "Hey!"
Yeah, that's what I did. I went "Hey!"

Destroyer - Kaputt


This is Destroyer's new album. I like it more than Trouble in Dream!
Give it a listen if you're into Dan Bejar being magical, doing dance tracks!

So here's another thing to enjoy. Some of you like The Go! Team right?
They're pretty cool! Here's their new album!

The Go! Team - Rolling Blackouts



So I haven't listened to it yet. I was about to mfire thread! Or are you not calling yourself that anymore?
It's been a while, right? So anyway, I can't vouch for its quality? But if The Go! Team excites you, jump in to what I'm sure is an album full of cool musical collages of fun poppy sounds mixed with a pumping schoolyard chant and some blaxploitation chaos soundtracking.
