Emil Biljarski has had a storied career, first as keyboardist of the seminal Hungarian psychedelic rock band Korai Öröm, and who continued the psychedelic, world music and even post-punk stylings in bands such as Fókatelep and Meszecsinka. His pedigree is impeccable. He graces our blog with a new album which Continue Reading

Selen Gülün – TRE
I’ve been looking forward to hearing Selen Gülün’s latest release, and to say I’m not disappointed would be an understatement. I had spent the day listening to John Cage after lunching with my priest, and then this record came on. The first track, Ah, Tu Dici!, blended into Cage’s Three Continue Reading
Curve – Blindfold EP – Bootleg EP Series 1 & Chinese Burn – Bootleg Series Vol 2
There’s not a lot more to say about the legendary Curve that I could add to, save for most of the 1990s, they were among the best shoegaze bands, and it could be said that maybe only My Bloody Valentine were more highly esteemed, yet the members never seemed to Continue Reading
Subact – Life EP
Subact are based out of Dresden, Germany, and are friends of myself and my former blog, A Miscellany Of Tasteful Music. They produce a very hyperactive electronic music sound, and the energy given out is dance-floor-friendly. As well as dubstep, one can hear ragga, jungle, and if you can believe Continue Reading
subduxtion – Deep Space
Philippe Gerber comes back to us with a new project called subduxtion which flows in a very different direction from other works on his label. subduxtion is the monicker of Christopher Gilmore, a composer I’m very new to. This tends to go more into tech-house and minimal dub, and the Continue Reading
Orphan Sound System – Layered Seed Water
My (Western) Easter listening happens to be an avant-garde recording put together in the mid-nineties in Italy and just now being released. Imagine works being recorded nearly a quarter-century ago still sounding fresh and relevant. This is the sound of Orphan Sound System. The project features the talents of Jeff Continue Reading
Yanti Bersaudara – Anggrek Merah
On this Holy Saturday for our Western Christian friends, I’d like to present to you a group out of the island of Java in Indonesia called Yanti Bersaudara (The Yanti Sisters), who were a well-known pop group during the 1960s. Sounds Of Asia are releasing a lot of lost albums Continue Reading
Sean Khan – Starchild
I came across Sean Khan’s work a couple of years ago when he paired up with Brazilian jazz legend Hermeto Pascoal on a phenomenal record called Palmares Fantasy. He’s back on his own a new Samba-infused track and a remix of it for your listening pleasure.
Lance Austin Olsen | Terje Paulsen – Nattinsekter
Though I am familiar with the great experimental musician Terje Paulsen, I have not yet heard the works of Lance Austin Olsen, and I’m impressed with this pair’s use of field recordings and instruments into one organic whole. From Lance Austin Olsen’s Bandcamp site: Nattinsekter (night insects) developed from my Continue Reading
Metalhead From Zanzibaria – Tusk Of Well-Being
No, unfortunately, this is not from Zanzibar or Tanzania, but from Russia. Metalhead From Zanzibaria bring a cold, claustrophobic retro experimental sound to fore. Those of you who remember cassette-based artists like Cranioclast will find a lot of good memories with this music.
