Even though I prefer Delta blues in its pure form, I must say that I really enjoy it when musicians alienate that sound with modern elements. One of the best examples for it is R...
Dear reader, did I ever actually tell you that I give a flying crap about techno and all its sub-genres? If not, then the time has come now to do this, because the documentary 'Last Hippie Standing' takes a close look at the hippie movement and its link with goa/trance music. I am highly critical of the whole hippie culture of the late 1960's/early 1970's, because it has been totally unworldly even if there was a little positive impetus on pop culture...
Here, we have the vinyl-only reissue of the first LAMP OF THE UNIVERSE album, that has been originally released in 2001 on Cranium Records. You are perhaps aware that LAMP OF THE UNIVERSE is the solo project of multi-instrumentalist Craig Williamson (Datura, Arc Of Ascent)...
LARMAN CLAMOR are two guys from North Germany, hard as it to believe that only two people make this thick, rich audio gumbo. On their self-titled debut CD, they play the blues, post-modern delta blues with licks of psychedelia, 1960's garage rock and heavy rock...
With their new record 'Salvador', LO-PAN getting closer to the perfect album; it's a big step up from the band's previous release 'Sasquanaut' and that was already a great album. The songs on 'Salvador' are all significantly less sonorous and more direct than their work on 'Sasquanaut'...
There have been times when my interest in sludge decreased rapidly resulting from the musical stagnation in that genre. I was bored by all the Grief, EyeHateGod and Buzzov-en clones, and it seemed to me that there were only a very few bands around who manage to add something new to the existing formula...
Here, we have the remastered and remixed version of LO-PAN's second album, which was originally released by Nice Life Records in 2009. Small Stone Records is responsible for this re-issue and I am surprised that they did not sign the band right from the start, because LO-PAN meets the requirements for this excellent label...
Consistent with the hundredth album release of Small Stone Records, label owner Scott Hamilton took advantage of the opportunity to release the debut of LUDER, where he plays guitar and provides the sound with some effects. One thing is certain: LUDER is not your typical 1970's-infected riff rock band...
California's LITANY FOR THE WHALE show with their debut EP what can happen if you mix the brute heaviness of later Neurosis with the vulnerability of mid-1980's DC hardcore punk. The result is heavily energetic and the band has done tremendously well...
