Latest vinyl arrivals... Finally completed my Talking Heads collection! Also there's yet another Circle live vinyl album out! Because Circle is on tour right now and Ektro shop is closed (well, they actually return to business later this week but I didn't dare to wait, after all it's a limited edition) I had to use other sources and ordered my copy from Pitkämies.

* Talking Heads: Little Creatures (1985) (LP)
* Circle: Soundcheck (2009) (LP)

Drone, oh the drone
may '09

Kuolleen musiikin yhdistys reviews the latest BQ album:

"Bearly Queen from Oulu is a rather fresh name in the field of drone music. Yet he has managed to put out four CD-R releases already in just two years. The freshest one, titled "Void, oh the Void" certainly awakens my interest to follow the activities of this artist.

Void, oh the Void consists of one long track of pure minimalist drone music. The first half is somewhere in between minimalistic Troum and Moljebka Pvlse: ever so slowly a gigantic mass of sound rises out of the silence. Like a giant ship slowly approaching in the night, revealing more and more of it's size and power. Very low bass frequenies and a rich and detailed sound (revealed by turning the volume button rather high) add to the feeling of vastness in spite of the record being rather quiet. The second half explores the deepest abyss in a more Lustmord-ish way - more static, more dark. In the end there is an orchestral "outro", of whose necessity I am not sure.

This is some very well-made drone music, and a name worth checking out for fans of artists like Troum of Moljebka Pvlse.

Oh!

Men from the east

Arrived in the mail today:

* Far East Family Band: "The Cave" Down To The Earth (1974) (cd)

Here's a cool video from '75:


The original album version on "The Cave" was sung mainly in Japanese but here they sing in English (or rather Japenglish?) as they did on their next album which included new versions of selected tracks from this album and from their first as Far Out. Recognize the man behind the synths? Yes, he's Masanori Takahashi, more commonly known as Kitaro.
