lsd march

Category: By the bug


LSD March's repertoire might be limited, the same song might make it's way onto many different albums, but they vary so much from one version to the other that they're barely recognizable each time.Shindara Jigoku finds the trio in great form, blasting out their classics in their usual sloppy way. The fuzz is as present as ever. But through all the mess and the drumming that sounds like hits to cardboard boxes, they manage to create a real sense of drama. The Lamp - Tomorrow's Godard, a favorite of mine, sounds very powerful here; the tune is very sorrowful. Clepsydra Flames sounds particularly good on here. I found it irresistible to tap my feet to the guitar rhythm...

Tα Κεφια Της Μινος # 2

Category: By the bug

This CD stands alone amongst Throbbing Gristle�s work as one of their most accessible and abstract recordings. It was never released during their existence, as it was the soundtrack to Derek Jarman�s film of the same name and had been inextricably linked to it until 1993, when this CD version was released. The soundtrack works perfectly with Jarman�s slow-moving, ritualistic Super 8 film which, being one of his earliest (1972 � 74), is also one of his most abstract. The music was improvised in 1980 to the film at a cost of only £100.

"Joan La Barbara has a quality as a performer that goes beyond her renowned extended vocal techniques: genuine intimacy. There is something inviting about her voice and the way she shapes Cage's sounds; you feel let in on a secret, even if you don't know exactly what it is. And especially in the Whiskus, she effortlessly slips from one word fragment to another, making it sound like a perfectly natural monolog."

The Towering Inferno

Category: By the bug

''The British ensemble known as Towering Inferno take music to grand scales on Kaddish, a nearly 75-minute long electronic elegy of beats, voices, and screaming instrumentation performed in memory of the victims of the Holocaust. Composed by Richard Wolfson and Andy Saunders, the music on Kaddish ranges from metal guitar to sampled cantors to echoing drum synths--often on the same track. Jazz, classical, Middle-Eastern, metal, electronica, and prog rock all feature prominently here, meshing together for epic effect. The beats on "Occupation" crescendo at the three-minute mark as the voice samples of Hitler, a Nazi, and a rabbi all collide. The driving strings and voices of "The Ruin" hark back to Steve Reich's legendary New Music composition "Different Trains." Best heard on headphones and all at once, this disc can be somber and riveting''

The legacies of Burt Bacharach, Henry Mancini and The Carpenters permeate intensively throughout this collection. The Navin brothers concoct musical trinkets that are velvety and evocative in their instrumentation and vocal delivery. However, any illusions of aesthetic naïvité are shelved by the more adult and worldly-wise lyrics which, when offset against the occasional incorporation of cheesier instrumental references to '80s pop, provide this duo with an easy-listening vocabulary all of their own.

spring heel jack

Category: By the bug

The British duo Spring Heel Jack took the world of drum 'n' bass and jungle to new, sophisticated levels. Their music begins with the standard drum and bass formula—frenetic rhythms, arching synth notes, throbbing bass tones, skittering break beats, and samples—but transcends the ordinary by making forays into free jazz, dub, and modern classical music.

Equal parts rock and free jazz, V as in Victim is a weird journey through a number of styles and sounds -- there's some grooves, some soundscapes and some brutally dissonant variations on free jazz.

"Quantum" was spliced together by Basil using jazz, field recordings (animals, insects, trams), his wife and Autistic children. It's all based on Basil's theories of sound, and that when you slow down or speed up sound, you open up new doors, and new sound is revealed. Considering this recording was made circa 1973, one cannot underestimate the true genius and musical foresite of the man.

gabor szabo

Category: By the bug


Gabor Szabo is one of those gigantically influential guitarists whose name or music few have ever heard. Carlos Santana, John McLauglin, Robbie Krieger, and Larry Coryell all seem to have spent some serious quality time soaking in Szabo’s hypnotic sound. Largely self-taught, Szabo‘s playing brilliantly fused elements of jazz, pop, Gypsy, Indian, and Middle-Eastern music, creating a highly mystical and totally unique style.

A refugee of the 1956 Hungarian Revolution, Szabo spent his formative years playing guitar in underground jam sessions in Budapest. His distinctive sound matured during an important four-year tenure in Chico Hamilton’s pioneering quintet, which also featured saxophonist Charles Lloyd. Two years into his solo career and deep in the midst of the late ‘60s music revolution, Szabo released his studio masterpiece, Bacchanal. It was on this 1968 recording that he triumphed in his experiments with feedback and Eastern-tinged psychedelic re-workings of current pop tunes.

The album opens with one of two Donovan covers, "Three King Fishers." Szabo fluidly bends his guitar strings to create a spellbinding sitar-like sound. Classically trained guitarist Jimmy Stewart accompanies him with rhythmic intensity. Monster drummer Jim Keltner is magic here, keeping things incredibly tight while seamlessly floating in and out of jazz, rock, and Eastern time signatures. "Three King Fishers" is a golden psychedelic relic, comparable in mood and intensity to the Doors’ brooding classic, "The End." The title track, one of only two Szabo originals included here, follows the shining path of "Three King Fishers." Hal Gordon’s percussion adds another layer of rhythmic complexity to the mix, driving the song to the highest of heights. Szabo’s agile fingers wring every bit of emotion imaginable from his electric guitar. This musical highpoint is followed by the album’s second Donovan cover, "Sunshine Superman." This up-tempo track sounds wonderfully dated, conjuring up images of miniskirt clad Go-Go dancers gyrating in suspended cages while waves of multi-colored lights wash across their bodies. Szabo’s contagiously energetic playing uplifts the song, keeping it from sinking into pure kitsch. "The Look Of Love" is a pre-Barry White pillow talk classic: clink your wine glasses and sink into the plush shag carpet of this relaxed groove. The strongest LP recorded by Szabo’s regular group of the era, this would prove to be their last session. While Bacchanal is largely an album of ‘60s pop covers, Szabo’s inspired quintet transforms the material into a one of a kind collection of first-rate jazz instrumentals(musthear)

The record's outernational bent, improbable touches of Eastern European folk collide with Le Rap and bassy eclectronica, paints a convincing picture of a gang of nomadic misfits adrift from instituted culture in sufferance of it's paucity of relevance to their intense demands; a culture they believe is at once not sufficiently cerebral and neither funky enough.

Their music for Fight Club reflects their own hip-hop and dance roots, as well as the film's edgy, underground tone in its blend of trip-hop, drum'n'bass, and electro elements
