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 :)

Cabaret Voltaire - The Crackdown

Although somehow sounds tamed, and for some fans it is a selling of their favorite band, this is really just another logical step in the development of the band, in accordance with the then music flows. After all, a million years away from commercial sound, this excellent album, with its twisted logic, constantly make my brain pulsing in rhythm :)

New Wet Kojak - Nasty International

If we ask what kind of music is this, I'm not sure we'll come up with some concrete results. Created as an extension of Girls Against Boys, this Washington-based group may be a rock, but it's also the noise, ambiental, or some kind of sonic passage that feels good to my ears. All in all, a thick and murky sound, based more on tension than on the riff.
After all, this is all just theorizing, what is important that I spent an hour in vacuuming and wiping the dust, enjoying, all thanks to this great album :)

Bohren & der Club of Gore - Black Earth

Fast food, fast fashion, fast movies, fast flow of information, rapidly maturing, fast courses, everything is fast and too fast ... And yet, if you want to make a break, a step further from the imposed rules, well, here is one of the possible solutions :)
Powerful, seductive and extremely slow solution :)

Loop - A Gilded Eternity

The question is should we even theorize about this strong, repetitive and riff oriented album of British band "Loop". Its purpose is very primitive and extremely simple, you just need to unscrew it very loud :)
There is a saying " Still waters run deep." Now, what does it matter? There is nothing still in this album, nor has to do with water .. So, what i wanted to emphasize with this counter example is (at least in this case) needlessness of any allusion. I only wanted to say that raw power is, by definition, incontinent and that is "A Gilded Eternity", just a nice example of a factual situation :)

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  :)

Alan Vega, Alex Chilton, Ben Vaughn - Cubist Blues

This is one very unusual rock record. Why? First, mostly because is unusual and second, because it rocks :) After all, what can you expect from record called "Cubist Blues"? Although, not an easy bite, stained with various synth noises, repetitive rhythms and expressive Vega interpretation, this record manages almost impossible. In the same time, it has cold electronic feel and, also, sounds like a dirty Rock 'n' Roll.
Great joy, if you ask me.
But, this is one of the records that you love or you hate. You'll probably hate it, but it's good for your mental health, I read somewhere :P

Diamanda Galás - La Serpenta Canta

If you mix anachronistic music genre like blues with singer Diamanda Galas, what you get? Pure Diamanda Galas :) I can tell many things about Diamanda, she is very interesting persona, but, i leave judgment to you. Only one thing i must tell, hold on tight to your chair  :)

Einstürzende Neubauten - Haus Der Luege

Where is connection between Nick Cave and Blixa Bargeld? Probably, same primitive instinct. If you listen to the first few Bad Seed albums, you can notice strong influence of tribal music, psychedelic and repetitive rhythms all over. They are a collective that travels incontinently to peak. And todays post? Same thing. On the other side, this record sounds very modern, and for me, this is kind of dance music, which bring us back to the already mentioned tribal sound, so simple in form and so rich in giving.
So, if you are caveman, like Blixa, Cave and I, let's dance :)

Tuxedomoon - Divine

I'm sitting here, it's almost midnight and i'm trying to do my homework for tomorrow. But, somehow, i'm very tired, my mind wanders around and i'm completely lost in this dramatic and sometimes hard to swallow peaces. And, if for some reason you need a similar kind of escape, i'm glad I could help.
Also, there is whole concept behind this LP, but, like i said, i'm too tired now :) Anyway, the knowledge is not always necessary for enjoyment.
