African Head Charge - Song of Praise

    Stepping out of the more hermetic sound that this strange band made with this album may make it more receptive and modern, but it also brings some ancient sound forms, archaic tunes and tribal chants. Now, how are this two going together? Well, let's put it this way: If the welder is the master of his job, the weld is barely noticeable. Only so much to feel fine texture under our fingers when we touch it :)

The Wolfgang Press - Bird Wood Cage

Enough dark to satisfy old gothic fan base, and under the influence of the then trends in music, refreshed with dance elements, this album is something that avoids genre, and to me, personally, always interesting adventure :)

P.S.
This is the original version of the album, which is available only on vinyl and don't contain bonus tracks, the one I prefer  :)

The Lijadu Sisters - Danger

When i was younger, i often listened to Fela Kuti, floating in his heavy and psychedelic kind of resistance, which moved me then and also years later, on different ways..
Later, unrelated to Kuti, i found a fantastic band, The Raincoats, and this was maybe the best all - girls band i ever heard. Their completely different four albums and fantastic imagination once again changed my already formed opinion what alternative music is.
And then, why today's post? What's connection between this two sisters with whole story? Well, with Kuti, they share same time and same geography - Nigeria. Also, i'm very interested in woman's perception of one obviously very "interesting" state like a NIgeria. And specifically, they deserved place here because, like i said before, best woman's band ever, have stolen a few things exactly from them  :)

Gary Clail On-U Sound System - Emotional Hooligan

Everything works so nice on this superb album, it's a fine example of British modern music, which is not surprising, given the people who made ​​it, the very top of British underground scene, although this particular LP bring more commercial sound, much more than their previous releases. So, just move your hips easily, in this amalgam of dancefloor, reggae and disco sounds. Or just think straight with world's conscience lyrics, whatever you prefer :)
Later, I heard rumors that Clail too absorbed the role of superstar, which led to the termination of cooperation with this team. However, we are all people, and, ultimately, their cooperation was short but fruitful ...

Little Axe - Champagne & Grits

Blues is huge music form, but somehow is based on cover songs and rarely sound fresh, just goes around. I don't say it's not good, just, there is too many blues records and i always had problems with genre-specific music. Music, for me, is much wider term. And Little Axe? Well, obviously, they think similar. And result is one of greatest blues record, and it even don't sound like real blues. It's not strange because it's recorded by first class alternative musicians, but music is very commercial, blues with updated production, made by dub and reggae master Adrian Sherwood....
And just because we have these opposites we can hear nothing less than magic. So, don't miss it, it is future classic :)

The Raincoast - Odyshape

It's not easy to say something clever for huge bite like this. It sounds like ambiental reggae, it's very minimalistic and full of sophisticated melodies, but in the same time is very, very complex LP, little bit nervous and sometimes uncontrolled. It's made by four woman, well, considering attributes in sentence before, and if we think that artists give themselfs through their art, i'm little bit closer to the solution of a mystery why i always have problems with females :) Ok, this is half a joke, but truth is, here is fantastic band before you. So, don't waste your time anymore, just imagine that you have new raincoat and outside is nice rainy day :)

Keith LeBlanc - Stop the Confusion (Global Interference)

Maybe I'm not an expert in a modern music, but I am very good at listening music itself. So, is this modern album? I don't have idea. Is it good album? O, yes, it's great...
