Thomas Jackson Park – Beans and Rice
Though I know Thomas Jackson Park’s work in its more experimental form, this new release is a nice surprise as the dub influence is obvious, and a pleasant distraction from all the brutal noise I’ve been going through today.

Daniel Thomas Freeman – The Silence After Life (Original Film Soundtrack)
Soundtrack music is always welcome in my inbox, especially if it is quiet, brooding and sets a heavy mood for an indie film. I can’t say I know too much about Daniel Thomas Freeman, but now that we are in…

Trigger Cut – Rogo
Wow! Imagine a mangling together of Gang Of Four, early Wire, an angry Birthday Party and all that is good in post-punk, and you would have the bones to make Trigger Cut. The tracks are minimal, punchy, and full of…
