Black Era – Third Eye Guerilla (Aquietbump) Heavy, slow and brooding but still just warm enough to be a relaxed listen. There’s a fairly brief summary of a rather good EP although leaving it at that might not quite justify my existence. ‘Third Eye Guerilla’, coming from the Aquietbump NetLabel, is […]

Christophe Marc – The Funny Fall (Jamendo) After listing Christophe’s single a few days back in my revelatory, consciousness expanding, superlative singles round up I found word reaching me of a fully fledged solo album from the same, my extensive and exhaustive spy network reporting back to me every detail of […]
Duck – Logical Fallacy (Fresh Poulp) Emerging from French Dub/Electronica/D’n’B/Trip Hop specialist NetLabel ‘Fresh Poulp’; Duck, or possibly ‘DucK’, is a purveyor of ‘Electro-Dub’, apparently, which as a sentence is jam packed enough with relatively meaningless genre definitions to satiate even the most determinedly anal and organised of souls.
Super Chron Flight Brothers – Indonesia (Backwoodz Studioz) A bit of a stretch today, at least as far as the ‘Creative Commons’ tag goes because this ain’t, as it were. This is however a free album and licensing aside it deserves a bit of loving attention. So, Super Chron Flight Brothers, […]
Jules – Devil Blues on the Rock (Jamendo) I like the idea of modern Blues, especially when it’s emerging from the CC world. Call me a cynic, or just a miserable bastard, but there’s never enough morbid, grinding, despairing music around when you need it and even if the old Delta […]
Jay Slim – The High Life (Just Plain Sound) Mo’ mo’ Hip Hop, which should come as about as much of a surprise on this blog as a corrupt MP resigning from Parliament. Bu-ut on a slightly more novel tip there’s actually a Rapper here as opposed to the usual collection […]
The Wind Whistles – Animals Are People Too (Aaahh Records) Another release here from those prolific purveyors of Indie Folk, Aaahh Records who, as well as being home to the habitually excellent Julia Kotowski (also known as Entertainment for the Braindead) play host to Canadian strummers ‘The Wind Whistles’. Who, for […]
The Art Punk Band – Zeno And The Happy Cats (Jamendo) A very definite example of an aquired taste today in the form of a short album release from American trio The Art Punk Band, who appear to have thrown themselves back in time a few decades to an era when […]
Annie.R – Megalo (Jamendo) A dose of blunt Pop today, the likes of which I habitually avoid for reasons unknown to even me given that, all things considered, I’ve nothing in particular against the music itself. Annie.R, who loses points by default for having the full stop there, is a songstress […]
Grüün – Kraut-Hop (iD.EOLOGY) It’s always a half arsed sort of job when I review foreign language Hip Hop. Sure, I can cover the music well enough, which to me is the generally the main point anyway, but I always feel a dash of discomfort when I start pontificating upon the […]
