Voivod - Nothingface
Got my Hydrasynth Explorer yesterday. Haven’t explored much patch creation yet beyond trying out some of the wave scanning and fm. Mostly tested some presets. I quibble with its supposed portability,...
I have an Explorer on order, hoping to get a shipping notice soon.
It is very good. I mentioned in the new releases thread that it feels like it draws on all eras of KD and MotW (it is a reunion of that band’s lineup) yet remains focused and as mentioned above,...
Digging the new Kayo Dot. It is the reformed lineup of Maudlin of the Well and it really does sound like a blending of all the styles that band and KD have touched on from metal to the synth goth of...
He kept it private for 10 years apparently
RIP
Fred Frith in a cape making Yes noises all over. Never would have thought.
Aaron Dilloway & Lucrecia Dalt- Lucy & Aaron
Moritz Von Oswald Trio- Dissent

Lingua Ignota- Sinner Get Ready
Floating Points- Promises
Darkside- Spiral
Black Midi- Cavalcade...
I think this was the last update on all things related to this family of bands from facebook
Black Midi, New Road is a live combo they do sometimes
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hpf5s_o3dE4
Cavalcade is awesome
Alongside bm and Squid, Black Country, New Road are another of these young brit post-punk/rock, prog etc. bands worth checking out with a debut from this year
Edit: I see...
Their first album Schlagenheim is very good, more in the math/noise rock and oddball post punk vein and less overtly avant-prog. Their drummer is ace.
New black midi is pretty tasty

I like them well enough, but I was surprised when I learned that that they are apparently much hyped in the UK. They are plowing well worn territory, drawing on a lot of math, noise rock, and quirky...
Flying Luttenbachers- Shattered Dimensions / After 12 years the band is back with a bunch of Brooklyn avant heavy weights joining WW. More on the ol punk jazz tip than the brutal prog the band was...
Cellular Chaos featured on that comp is another of WW’s bands and Dirty Girl is a cover of Cardiacs Dirty Boy

Speaking of Pak, a new lineup and a new album last year (no physical...
So sympho lympho.
I will second Burning Stone. Hyderomastgroningem after that. I am a bigger fan of the Masuda period, the Sasaki stuff feels a bit sterile to me.
Not remotely Krautmas (more Residential post punk, from a former member of Mott the Hoople) but my fav classic Christmas album is this un

Doneish, kinda? They are on hiatus and they have said the band will be back in some new form, whether that means a new lineup or a different sound, time will tell. Perhaps premature to say “final”,...
I’ll check those out.
I gave Have You in My Wilderness a try when it came out to much acclaim and it was fine it just didn’t make much of an impression. Sounds like Aviary brings together her...
I’ve been digging this one, though I hadn’t paid too much attention to her in the past. It really is a beautiful piece of avant-pop

The End- Svårmod och vemod är värdesinnen

Beefheart relied very heavily on his band and on members who acted as musical directors to translate his ideas into actual music, and he was an abusive asshole who had little concept of why his music...
Yeah that was my mistake, I meant the moonbeams,and UG stuff, not the tragic band. I have a hard time seeing those albums as essential.
Even the “Tragic Band” stuff?
Maksymenko’s Kräldjursanstalten is probably the best Beefheart influenced band from the late 70s/early 80s.
There was also the time they were on SNL

Another new track

Beefhesrt was definitely an influence on the more skewed and dissonant strain of math rock, not so much on the clean, diatonic, tapped stuff.
Thie list is meant to be lesser known releases, Don Cab and Hella were the biggest names in math rock in the 90s and early 2000s respectively, Fucking Champs had a moment of notoriety (as much as can...
A track has been released

The preorders started in the summer and it was supposed to be released by December, but TD was not happy with the initial test pressing. The colored vinyl was even more expensive and I think it sold...
Kayo Dot have reissued Choirs on vinyl. A bit pricey and that beautiful colored version sold out in preorders.

Ah, didn’t notice that.
I think you may be right the crowfunding has gone up about 50% since the bandcamp preorders went up.
Are the physical releases a sure thing, it looks like the crowdfunding is well short of the goal?

Actually, I don’t listen to any music from after 1976. In reality, I agree with everything Skullhead says.
Damn! My plan has been foiled. Okay, so all I wanted was to make everyone else look like a symph weenie, was that so bad?
Everything I listed sounds like Yes.....all of it.
“Vapid” is a strange take

I don’t particularly like AC/DC, nor do I hate them. A big shoulder shrug really.
KISS on the other hand, are the absolute worst.
Bungle has become the go-to comparison for lazy music journos. Idiot Flesh were contemporaries of Mr. B, not followers. For me, Bungle was always about post modern genre hopping, but SGM, despite...
