HEALTH


Get Color isn't as good as the self titled, but people that didn't like the first one probably will like this one. Way more poppy.

This is the official release, got it from Lovepump.

tha Trillest shit for tha Illest dicks

It's weird, some dude I didn't know e-mailed me. The body of the message:

"aye girl cum bac 2 tha crib
http://www.mediafire.com/?m3ozydtioum"

I would probably describe this as post-free jazz (in the sense that he is taking it to the next level, not that it's like Godspeed) mixed with the modern dubstep scene played through one of Steve Reich's tape shits.

If you're not already downloading this, get on this shit.

PS

NOW THERES NO WAY OUT
SO WE GOTTA MAKE LOVE

PPS 50th post today, happy whatever.

But you guys are cool too.

Dronez

And now comes my first solo release, entitled Dronez.
It's solo bass with some effects, all improv and live.
Fall asleep to it or something, I listened to it and liked it, which is rare for my own music.

Verse En Coma


Verse en Coma are yet another offshoot of the revolutionary pageninetynine, but give an altogether different sound than the chaotic sound wall of, say, Document 8. Rialto, their only release to date, is about melody and composition. All of these tracks have a clear set goal, and never overstay their welcome. Quite an accomplishment in punk, where 6 minute songs usually get boring in the first 2.

Another fantastic element of this album is the production. The guitar tone of the melody at the end of the first track will ensure that you understand what I mean.

4 Corners


4 Corners is an extremely fun live album by Magnus Broo (trumpet), Adam Lane (double bass), Paal Nilssen-Love (drums), Ken Vandermark (baritone saxophone, clarinet, bass clarinet).

Although I am unfamiliar with most of the work put out by these guys, they are fairly well known in free jazz circles, and it is evident from first listen that they are all extremely proficient players.

The most important factor in jazz, provided that members of the band are good musicians, is the level of communication between players. Groups like Supersilent appear to have a superhuman sense of what every other member is thinking, and 4 Corners is also notable for the interdependence between members.

Also, it sounds like Dolphy at times, which is always a plus. Another standout: distorted double bass grooves perfectly locked in with the drummer.

Ricardo Villalobos


I've had Fabric 36 by Villalobos for a while, and it's taken me this long to digest how great it really is. This is microhouse, the exact opposite of flashy music, but for anyone that likes ambient or dance music, this is a trip.

I'm giving you guys Alcahofa, his first album, because it's more like traditional pop/dance songs, whereas Fabric 36 is a live set and just straight up weird.

If you're not feeling the first song, listen to Dexter in the dark. That's what this is about.
