Backspace – Human Nature Architecture
It’s bands like this that the blog was initially made for. Finding a Krautrock band who mix in surf and psychedelic rock coming out of China is a magnificent thing. Backspace are one of the more brilliant bands to come out of the Middle Kingdom in some time, and I Continue Reading
Sergey Kuryokhin (谢尔盖·古廖金) – Divine Madness (天赋的疯狂)
First, a disclaimer: I am posting this review with the understanding that Leo Records has licensed this astounding collection covering the career of the late enfant terrible of Russia’s then-thriving avant-garde music community, Sergey Kuryokhin, to Old Heaven Books Records in Shenzhen, China. If this is so, it’s wonderful to Continue Reading
Galloping Coroners (VHK) – Naptánc / Dancing With The Sun
Long before space-rock was such a big thing (and I love the genre), the Galloping Coroners (Vágtázó Halottkémek) were making something I would imagine would be called proto-space rock, shaman-rock, or something akin to an even weirder version of Hawkwind. They are Hungary’s national treasure as far as I’m concerned.
Citizen – Ars Humana Aedificavit Urbes

Cellist Aaron Martin has released his score for the documentary The End Of Medicine, and it’s a deeply resonant collection of music. From Aaron’s Continue Reading
Viul & Benoît Pioulard – Konec
A Strangely Isolated Place provides us with a fine pairing. From the label’s Bandcamp site: “With an immediate arresting aesthetic, grounded in saturation, decay and distortion, tracks such as ‘Returning Clear Voice’ or ‘Flaxen’ reflect some of the duo’s more textured work – a hazy mist of life unknown in Continue Reading

As today is my 52nd birthday, I thought I would take a walk down memory lane. Today is also the 35th anniversary of New Order’s first major collection album called Substance, which was released on this day in 1987. As it turns out, it was the first compact disc I Continue Reading
