Scottish Bill Wells Octet( trumpet, sax,flutes, tuba,harmonica,piano,bass, guitar, percussion, voice) plays slow jazzy acoustic elegiac pieces that recall many things from music and life: retro atmospheres, avant-garde, soundtracks, half abandoned thoughts, even lounge moods and...Sushil K Dade (future pilot aka) adds them some contemporary (for its time) exp-electronica edge. The whole attempt keeps a friendly asymmetry that sounds interesting. "Requiem pour un con "(S . Gainsbourg) is covered here , and the closing track also has a nice art-ambient-ethno-ethereal touch. Ten themes they fit together by being free to rehabilitate a different each time picture puzzle.

This release is one of the 90`s solo works of the man behind "THIS KIND OF PUNISHMENT ", if not the most important, at least my favourite band of New Zealand . Peter and his brother Graham formed TKOP after the shortlived NOCTURNAL PROJECTIONS, while Peter was also member of PLAGAL GRIND with Alastair Galbraith.Their vision for music went much further than punk ,lo-fi,and post industrial psych-folk ...An even beyond music encounter of many inclinations of the civilization of late twentieth century. ELEVATOR MADNESS is 3rd solo lp recorded in canada at a time Peter already involved with MECCA NORMAL(Jean Smith of MN is here producer) . Unbearable cold noisy environments alternate with piano , some velvet minimalism and hammillian vocals. Amongst thanks to..is Blaise Pascal.






Avant-jazz-folk-klezmer-experimental approach of the classic "FIDDLER ON THE ROOF" musical , from first class "knitting" personalities and friends.Uncompromise , funny, grotesque, inventive and completly diverse songs create an extreme eclectisism by bringing close (and sometimes one into the other) the different and the old, the classic and the unexpected. Stephen Merritt , Residents , Jill Sobule, Uri Caine, ...my favourites from a compilation you can leave nothing out. Knit with sunthreads.
This avant prog , experimental czeck band that originated from late sixties, recorded the material of this album at early 80`s and at a period their members were under police surveillance because of their opposition to regime. PPOTU go beyond the usual for the genre combination of virtuosity, free imagination and complexity. Hovezi porazka is dense , tight music ,rooted in the blues-jazz-folk-r.i.o. territory.Impressive eastern european flavoured horns sound rockier than guitars while dark, inauspicious, or explosive vocals express clearly the direct facing of the reality for a band that seeking freedom in life and art is one and same thing. Artistry with rare skills in the service of a revolutionary heart that needs no ideology to live riskly between activism and dreaming, between senses and thought.posted by paramo

With an oxymorous name ,totally harmonic with the ever evolving contrast of light and shadow, this Nebraska trio (guitar -voice - bass-drums ) repeats with 1997 `s "shelf life" once again the same old miraculous trick : simple on the surface , far from novelties, (and that `s why timeless), dreamy haunted guitar pop music , challenging beautiful by staying stubbornally close to their basics.Although term klezmer referred at first to the "musical instrument" and gradually meant also the musician that played it ,finally,
in the 20th century, this term referred to the traditional music of hasidic hebrewism.That music performed mostly in weddings or other festivities and as many pieces of jewish culture carries a lot of multicultural elements and influences.This genre became quite popular the previous decades amongst listeners all over the world and not specifically because of the ethnic -world fashion of that era.
Important musicians and composers dealt with it, especially ones activated around the NY avant -free -impro -jazz scene like John Zorn, Paradox trio , Andy Statman ,Eric Friedlander a.o.
Amongst them , the Klezmatics members Frank London (trumpet) and Greg Wall (sax) , formed the very exceptional project of HASIDIC NEW WAVE in 90`s and recorded "Jews and the abstract truth " ,their first lp.
Both the old and the new fitted perfectly into their compositions.Free-jazz-impro-psych-funk electricity joins the basic cheerful , simple, but also somewhere distantly mourningful spirit of tradition leading the genre to new, less secular directions and some deeper , mystic ritualism.
"KABALOGY " their 3rd effort, equally or a bit less trippy than 2nd lp "psycho-semitic " , hides and appears some meditative melancholic mood behind of explosions of free imagination mania , anger, simple joy, fun, and ....a humour topped up in the last "giuliani uber alles" cover track.
KABALOGY , a knitting factory release, performed by:
FRANK LONDON trump
GREG WALL sax
FIMA EFRON bass
AARON ALEXANDER drums
DAVID FIUCZYNSKI guitar
