[WM099] The Family Simpson – Montague’s Lunchtime Speciale (2009)

Imagine being holed up in a strange bleak industrial estate on the edge of what appears to be an eerily deserted town where bars shine desolate, their signs promising “music here tonight” without any sense of irony. This is where Montague started, sketching lyrics on digital photographs in late November when the mall closed and the entertainment retreated quickly to their homes. The fact they rarely shut the curtains or indeed their doors only served to inspire more…

VA – netBloc Vol. 24: tiuqottigeloot (2009)

After a couple back to back original blocSonic releases, I’m back to introduce you to the latest in the blocSonic netBloc series. This batch of netaudio gems is packed with ear candy. I have little doubt that you’ll find at least a couple tracks that you also call gems. Who knows, perhaps you’ll call them all gems, just as I do!

So what exactly is packed in this release? You have operatic vocals with a metal, swing backing. You have straight-up hip-hop. You have electro-pop. Singer-songwriter pop. Smoldering, funky, lounge. Dance music. Straight ahead rock. Rock with a funky edge. Music from Japan, France, Germany, Mexico, Russia, Sweden, the UK and the US.

Many thanks again to all participating artists and labels, this series just couldn’t happen without your participation. Of course, thanks to you for downloading this excellent collection. Enjoy it. Share it.

[hrtph013] Jason Sposa / Mike Downey – The Same Heart (2009)

The Same Heart’s first murmur occurred when Jason Sposa and Mike Downey began collaborating on this EP’s title track in the summer of 2009. After the song’s completion both dug into their archives and picked previously unreleased songs to fill it out. The outcome is a candid peek into both artists’ somber sides presented in the lower-fi frequencies.

[hrtph012] Mike Downey – Audio Graves, Vol. 4 LP (2009)

AUDIO GRAVES is a 4 Volume 100-track collection of unreleased songs from my archives. In 2007 I issued a monthly podcast in which the process of digging through stacks of various media began. Some of these songs were included in those podcasts although unmastered and unavailable for download as single tracks.

AUDIO GRAVES is the result of not only many hours of sifting through my archives, but a thorough look at the music I have been making for the past 15 years.

If you are interested in some of the background, click on the “info” link next to each song. I went through song by song and scribbled a few notes. Safe to say, some I recall better than others.

released 12 September 2009

[afm050] VA – #50 (2009)

Within just one year afmusic got off to a lightning start. The most innovative netlabel in Germany for Darkwave, Gothic and Independent Music celebrates on the label founder Falk Merten’s birthday their release-anniversary and distributes big presents to their fans – and that are 16 in number on this fiftieth publication.

All are on this Anniversary-Compilation “AFMUSIC #50″. Exactly one dozen of it are previously unreleased or recorded exclusively for this release. Beside many known afmusic-acts the sampler also presents an absolutely new band. Therefore, it is less a retrospective, than even more a look in the future of the label.

“AFMUSIC #50″ indicates not only the variety and versatility of the present releases, but also their high musical and artistic quality. LATRISTE – the newest member of the label family – immediately deliver with her first song a potential hit single. SMOKE FISH and EMERALD PARK contribute dark-coloured pop pearls of the grade 1A and CONFUSION IS NEXT are represented, just like LIGHT IN YOUR LIFE with a dreadfully nice ballad. Thereby the music ranges from Shoegaze to the sturdy Alternative rock.

SPINEFISH, (((S))) and ART NOIR provide for the dark sound-collage which hold together “AFMUSIC #50″ and lend a breathtaking atmosphere to the album.

In between the big potential of a lot of afmusic-bands flashes: The label-draught-horses ALL:MY:FAULTS cement with a never been there mixture of 8-bit Postmetal and spoken words their exceptional position as the most innovative German band of the scene. STROMBLE FIX’s “Dispirited” is more progressively Hybrid from Grunge and Deathrock, “Enjoy” of REPTILE71 is more sombre than the legendary “Drowning one” and CAMP Z present a modern version of the Sisters Of Mercy.

Crowning end of the completely successful afmusic-show is the “Smells Like Teen Spirit” cover, which is the most stretching cover with wide distance of this decade.

Barbagallo – Floppy Disk (2009)

About “Floppy Disk” – Written by Enrico Veronese, Translated by Francesco Cantone:

Floppy disks are our vintage, that’s a fact. Soon cds will follow too. Before this comes true, grab Carlo Barbagallo’s “Floppy Disk”, a very talented sicilian musician who is also a member of Albanopower and Suzanne’Silver. If you’re sick of the derailed application of the concept of “indie”, have a listen to his 11 tracks, to be played as if they were two sides of a vinyl. You’re going to find various analogies with both the way and the ethics stemmed from 70’s record production added to a low-fi necessity but without the blurred mind of those who deny the past and keep from knowing what has happened afterwards.

Rarely enough, “Floppy Disk” leaves an ultimate image in your mind, hitting the ground around that place psychologists call “ocean felling”, that is the unborn reactions to the outer stimulus they perceive when they are still in the womb. Psycho-Floydish attitude becomes a natural partner to the latest Beatles, as well as a conservation of the american classics (Neil Young, country, blues, west coast rock radios) added to an eye for 90’s disciples like Layne Staley, Shawn Smith and Greg Dulli; alienated impros descend smoothly from the glam era written by Brian Eno, Bowie and King Crimson.

Here is an unaware hold on to the present Dr. Dog and the already regretted Beta Band, vocal deviations à la Damno Albarn’s soundtracks and an osmotic liaison with Albanopower (another dissociated utopia, if you look at our times) whose lemon tree field has witnessed the birth of the vocal lines.

In translucency you see Barbagallo, a new figure who’s intended to populate like elves do our oneiric, narc-hypnotic, maieutic dimension of our musical reception: a cubic super8 kaleidoscope yellow blurred patina from which you cannot escape in first place, then you don’t even want to, right when butterflies begin to prevail.

[Mi113] Opaluc – Including Five Tracks EP (2009)

Exemption is called the area where the rest delicacies waiting for preparation.

And the truth is that there aren’t good desserts and good pastry without full waiver, as there is prior careful conclusion or virtuous without upstanding sacristy.
Then there is a consensus that a good book, cooking is guarantee of good taste, selection and quality. It is the best tools for any culinary neophyte tranship of life, a guide to wills, a paradigm of happiness, a journey of flavors.

Opaluc seems to be always cooking in the fresh mornings, the smiles and open face aromatic.
In 2009, for the first time, take a Pantagruel designed by Yo La Tengo heads for more than two decades and written by hand, barbaric by Galaxie 500.

[rsc017] Sanchez is driven by demons – Robot Replicas (2009)

after some side steps (remnant and and friends), solo projects and side projects, Sanchez is driven by demons has returned with their latest and perhaps also as implied last full length album robot replicas. the band has come a long way from their first experiments on the untitled debut album in 2002 and they have finally evolved into a band with confidence enough to sing in seven out of ten songs.

robot replicas takes you on a roller-coaster ride both musically and emotionally with mostly new experiences like up-tempo blonde redhead tribute saab, coldplay pop sounding om en stund skiner solen and rhythmic experimental bipolar. familiar demon territories are however visited with the ambient cut up piano track power of radio, the even more ambient monster and static void and, ending the record, the simple and beautiful vocal and vocoder driven labradford that brings you back to the same feelings, that of the 2002 panda.

the record tells a story – a story of leaving the past and parts of oneself behind, to come to terms with one’s demons and an awakening thirst for life. the risk of being pretentious is by far overcome by the genuine and straightforward way the music and lyrics manage to channel feelings of bitterness, pain and hope. the lyrics are an essential part throughout the whole record – a sense of intimacy is conveyed by the soft and at once compelling whispering – making up a contrast to the inexorable, sometimes fierce and yet delicate music. together, the impression is very strong and it’s impossible not to be hit by the power expressed by the songs.

the record is constantly balancing between sadness and hope, but gradually building up a sense of anticipation. it is intense and very real.

buy robot replicas and receive one of the 50 numbered copies packaged in a beautifully made arigato pak.
