This mini-LP is a tiny gem out of the Canadian new wave and alternative rock scene, of which we are totally unfamiliar with. The Palace At 4 a. Because of this and their thrifty arrangement, they could be mistaken for a contemporary band. Saxophone and flute are dominant as well, as they apparently sound somehow indolent, but listen closely to the song "Untamed World", it sounds as if was composed in the sixties. Also, the homonymous opening song "The Palace At 4 a.
In conclusion, Ihor Holubizky's detached vocals are certainly a plus to the whole minimalisic approach leading us all the way to the superb -almost sacramental- "The Man Who Never Sleeps", reminiscent of Tuxedomoon. Let us note that this particular album has never been uploaded by another blog. Have a good listening to this one, we hope you like it!!!
By the way, we humbly support the idea that this second LP is equivalent to the first if not better than the first. The album was recorded in one day live session at the studio, preserving the energy of a live performance all the way through. Nevertheless, the arrangement is effective in conveying the original style of Villa 21 even from the homonymous track "Men Of Clay" that literally "kicks ass": "Men of clay fear not to pray The guitars scream in agony following the voice of Costas Pothulakis.
He recites his verses almost as if he is trying to exorcise life, death, pain, love, betrayal, loneliness After the equally great "Meaning" and "Creature" follows a surprise; there's a new version of their second single "Move"rambling on for almost 7 minutes. We believe that Villa 21 had been a great live band, too bad we never had the chance to enjoy them, yet this record should be reminiscent of their legendary stage performances.
Nevertheless, seven minutes go by very fast and the noisy and violent post punk anthem "Still Can Burn" enters side Two. One might think that the instruments are involved in some kind of a race and the bass guitar is the winner, then Pothulakis' voice comes next striving with agony. Some familiar tunes swirl around as "New Days" and "Birth" are slowing down a bit.
Finally, the mournful "Damnation" begins with the shrieking vocals which eventually become singing No matter what, we will post more of their work in the near future. Have a good listening to this one, we are certain that you will enjoy this great music. ENG: It hasn't been very long since we posted another Elfish release. Indeed, Elfish Records is one of our favourite labels, however, this isn't the only reason why we mention it again so soon.
Giannis Papaioannou the founder of Elfish Records is also involved with the group - he was involved with Rehearsed Dreams and Raw, too!! Spider's Web do differenciate themselves from other Greek indie bands of the 's. The experienced genius of Spyros Faros who seeks for new ideas by means of minimal experimentation transforms this mini LP to a greatly-crafted masterpiece.
Nevertheless proving the band's name at the same time. Last but not least, check out the minimalistic white colour of the artwork which from then on became dominant in most Elfish releases. Happy listening then With the winter drawing nearer we are likely to prefer darker coloursounds, colder and more minimalistic music, too. Thus winter after winter we let ourselves go deeper into music that is able to depict our mortal world, our human darkness, and explore through it at the same time until the first reborn sunray arrives at Spring or Summertime.
Until then we come closer to the true reflection of ourselves portrayed as a dream or a nightmare accordingly. The album we are presenting today also brings us closer to this experience, via a minimal icy plainness.
Ever from the first tunes of "Compendium Maleficarum" and the stunning first track "Murder in Paradise" we realize that something familiar and eerie at the same time takes place. Martin Arthur Lucas, a. MAL created this absolutely mysterious album with thriftiness and austerity in terms of means and arrangement and then delivered it to the world in the year through his own label 'Physiocrat Productions'.
The rest of the songs unfold within a similar dark motif, "Student of Prague", "A Manual of Human Dissection", "Camera Obscura" with MAL's voice and music as detached as the first opening song, in a chilling and atmospheric manner throughout the rest of the LP.
Both electric and electronic sounds fill in the background and dull samplers add to the mystery of each crafted song. In addition to the above, the title of the album refers to the compendium about witchcraft and demonology written by the Italian Fransesco Maria Guazzo.
Those were dark times of humanity and a spiritual winter that lasted for decades and hundreds people were 'sacrificed'for allegedly being associated with the devil. Nevertheless, today we recognize that beyond religious extremities, such a literary work could as well become an inspiration.
Perhaps a sad and melancholic one, however full of imagination that's coming alive from within the darkness of the soul. MAL's music is indeed melancholic and perhaps too serious, however, it is most effective in conveying this icy and almost supernatural scenery. It is definitely an album that needs your attention - not just one listen. Courtesy of The Unspeakable just like the previous rip of Camberwell Now straight from his record collection Let's see something entirely different and extraordinary too.
The latter explored futher music realms in a wothy manner, they went further than This Heat did. For both groups there was this common denominator, the drummer Charles Hayward whose music connects the tradition of Camberwell and Canterbury , influences from kraut and progressive rock and finally the coming of the renewed music of the 80s. If one can't imagine what all the above sound like, The Camberwell now is the answer.
They were a short-lived act producing only two eps and one full LP, the great "The Ghost Trade" that we are presenting today. Another thing that you might realize just by listening to it is that it sounds like a fresh and quite modern piece of work, only that it was issued almost thirty years ago. This is music full of fresh ideas by musicians that aren't afraid to experiment.
In fact, experimentations is given. Nevertheless, this is a quite easy-to-handle album that sounds brand new everytime one listens to it. Truly brightly made music for those who seek for it.
From arrangement point of view "The Ghost Trade" is a perfect and enjoyable LP all the way to the end. Don't miss this one!!! Enjoy listening to this one!!! ENG: The last posts were about compilations that help us get to know some alternative labels. This post will be no surprise since we are going to talk about one of the most representative labels across the Atlantic Ocean and that is Fundamental. The compilation's title is "The Fundamental Hymnal" and was released in , compiling the elite of the label's catalogue.
Fudamental is a label that has brought great bands to light. Let's not forget that the pioneers of the u. In addition, there is a special treat, an unreleased song by the Drowning Pool whose seemingly-endless spiraling soundforms are distinctive of their excellent moody atmospherics. Finally, Red Temple Spirits end this interesting compilation, like "modern shamans" exploring new wavish prog rock and vice versa. Hope you like it!! The fact that independent label 4AD influenced modern independent rock music and not only is undisputed.
Throughout its entire long catalogue emerged a multitude of artists and groups with at least two common features. First of all, there was a higher quality of expression in both musical and artistic fields sleeve art and presentation. Secondly, there is the avantgard-ish atmospheric and dreamy sound that became 4AD's trademark over the years. Also equally important was the release of the record we present today which has the "enlightening" title "Dark Paths".
This was a unique release at the time came to be a guiding sampler for those who favoured this music genre, since it depicted successfully most of the diverse trends the label expressed. This compilation is also unique because it was released solely in Greece in through the label WEA probably a distributor for 4AD material at the time. In addition, there are two songs taken from the collaboration of David Jay Bauhaus and the poet Rene Halkett who actually recites the poems!
Closing, let's also note that the two Dance Chapter titles were mispelled and the actual titles are 'She' instead of 'Demolished Sanctuary' and 'Attitudes' instead of 'Backwards Across Thresholds'. Most probably most of our readers already know about 4AD and what it represented back in the 's. Perhaps this compilation doesn't serve as a new thing, but definitely gives a "fresher" impression.
