Ramble Records out of Australia have published a unique album here – one that should be seen as a modern psychedelic rock masterpiece. From their Bandcamp site: “Shūko No Omit, the name of the band, featuring Yonju Miyaoka on guitar and Vocals, his older brother Taiju Sugimori on bass and Continue Reading

Jeff Gburek and A.J. Kaufmann – Jazzisthmus
Had I not known the previous (impressive) works of both Jeff Gburek and A.J. Kaufmann, I would have happily believed that this was a lost psychedelic music gem long forgotten about in a basement studio recorded during Soviet times. While the tones are dulcet, you never really get a chance Continue Reading
Emma Caterinicchio & Pete Swinton – Celloscapes II
Cellist Emma Caterinicchio collaborates with Indonesia-based composer and sound designer Pete Swinton for a rather blissful and drone-laden album perfect for relaxing your mind for a spell.
Louis Tillett – Ego Tripping at the Gates of Hell
One of Australia’s most important, if overlooked, musicians, Louis Tillett, passed away on August 6. He started off as a musician who experimented with Industrial music in his first band, Wet Taxis, but ended up developing a rough, bluesy style that could really only be compared, vocally, to fellow Australian Continue Reading
Jeff Gburek – Vigilance Suite I & II
Fellow giromondo Jeff Gburek offers another incredibly profound album, balancing perfectly his own signature experimental sound touched with folk and blues, with the spirits of Robbie Basho and John Fahey once again coming along for the ride. For the influence behind this album, please consider taking the time to read Continue Reading

From the label’s Bandcamp site: “As a master of the Afghan rubab, Nasim Kushnawaz hails from one of the most important musical lineages in Afghanistan. The Continue Reading
Duncan Blachford – Piano and Rain No 1
Duncan Blachford is an Australian intuitive musician who delivers a gentle track of piano improvisation. Not bad at all for a non-pianist, I must say, as the track held my attention for its entirety.
Dirty Three – Whatever You Love, You Are
The Dirty Three are Mick Turner, Jm White and Warren Ellis, and between them, they have worked with a who’s who of alternative music like P.J. Harvey, Bonnie “Prince” Billy, and Nick Cave among others. What’s most impressive about their sound, however, is that they can sew together angular post-rock with a Continue Reading
John Wall – [Computer]-[Piano] Part II
![John Wall – [Computer]-[Piano] Part II](https://musicyouneedtohear.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/a0152936737_16.jpg)
John Wall is Australia’s foremost experimental music composer. I had lost track of him many years ago, but it’s good to see that he is still composing bold music. From his Bandcamp site: “As with the previous Computer-Piano release these three compositions consist of piano recordings (that are not subject Continue Reading
The Traffic – Fire/Bangarang
The first thing that came into my mind hearing The Traffic was that they have mastered the psych-soul formula to a tee. The first track, Fire, is a Jimi Hendrix cover where the flute takes the place of Hendrix’s legendary guitar playing, and it sounds damn solid. The second track, Continue Reading
