New Album Reviews For Those Of You Who Have Never: New Album Reviews Music | Bittles’ Magazine: The music column from the end of the world I have always been a fan of the humble compilation. Although much maligned in recent years, they can be a great way to introduce yourself to new artists, or genres. This June has seen a surge of quality collections all begging to be reviewed. Some are designed to showcase a particular label (Floor To Floor for Dusky’s 17 Steps, Facticity for Functions‘ Infrastructure New York, The Lost Tapes for Code Is Law), the selection skills of a certain DJ (Tim Green’s Body Language mix, Ryan Elliott’s Fabric 88), or a specific era’s sound (C87’s 80s indie). If you aren’t a fan of compilations, please don’t despair, as we also find time to review great new artist albums by Rebolledo, Huerco S, Weval, Mala, Trevino, Wolf Müller & Cass, and more. So, put on your reading glasses, open up your ears and let us begin… This week we’ll start with the return of Rebolledo, whose second solo album, Mondo Alterado should be available in your local record store now. Continuing the soundtrack-inspired electronica of last year’s Momento Drive mix CD, Mondo Alterado is a stately, atmospheric downtempo delight. Described in the press notes as being “A kind of soundtrack for a movie that doesn’t exist”, the album conjures a wealth of emotions and imagery, making it Rebolledo’s most rewarding work yet. Opener, Here Comes The Warrior (Super Short Album Version) is a dense and absorbing fifteen minute ride into the heart of ambient grooves. Completely enveloping the listener from the off, this is one of those tracks which I could happily listen to on repeat for days. From here, Discótico Sinético utilizes a sublime synth-line and some shuffling hi-hats to stunning effect, Spacer Rainbow Woman is lounge-style trip hop which sounds so stoned you worry for its health, while Discótico Estático sounds like 70s disco gone wrong (in a good way though!). Brimming with imaginative energy from beginning to end, Mondo Alterado is pretty close to divine. 9/10. For Those Of You Who Have Never: New Album Reviews Back in 2013, Colonial Patterns by Huerco S took the rigid structures and formulas of house and techno, tore them apart, and created something exciting, visceral and new. This June the producer returns to the album format with the dense ambiance and subdued poise of For Those Of You Who Have Never (And Also Those Who Have). Out now on Anthony Naples‘ always excellent Probito imprint, the album recalls the glory days when IDM was the new rock n‘ roll and the chill-out room was king. Spread across two discs of the darkest vinyl, the LP’s nine tracks are mostly beatless, yet still manage to possess a sense of menace and drive. For instance, Lifeblood (Naive Melody) is exquisitely sedate and deep sounding. Further in, Hear Me Out is a beautiful technofied take on new age relaxation music, On The Embankment has a sense of nostalgia which stills the air, while The Sacred Dance is one of the most absorbing pieces of music you will hear all year. In short, this is intense electronica for those with open minds! 9/10. After the Record Store Day vinyl reissue of the revered NME C86 cassette, Cherry Red Records belatedly, yet brilliantly imagine how a follow-up would sound. The result is the imaginatively named C87, a 3CD set packed full of jangly guitars, wistful vocals and the type of do it yourself attitude which would come to spark an entire scene. Songs by the likes of The House Of Love, The Wonder Stuff, The Heart Throbs, Cud, The Shamen, Pop Will Eat Itself, Gaye Bykers On Acid and 14 Iced Bears feature in a compilation which successfully captures the hunger, political anger, innocence and experimentation which epitomised guitar pop at the time. Yet, it’s the lesser known acts which make this worth tracking down. For example, on Disc 1 alone Good For Me by Blow-Up is a killer 60s style jam, Don’t Ask My Name by Hangman’s Beautiful Daughters creates a glorious punk racket, Get Out Of My Dream by The Clouds could well be a lost Smiths B-Side, while Big Rock Candy Mountain by The Motorcycle Boy will have you gleefully leaping around your room. Before the term ‚Indie Music‘ was polluted by bands who sold their souls to capitalism it was used to identify great music like this! 9/10. For Those Of You Who Have Never: New Album Reviews Dutch duo Weval enter the album format this month with the melody- drenched aural landscapes of their self-titled debut LP. Out now on Cologne institution Kompakt, the record merges Gui Boratto style house with the experimental cheekiness of James Holden to stirring effect. Resembling Boards Of Canada should they ever neck a cheeky E, Weval is, at times, strange and discordant, emotional, welcoming, and an awful lot of fun. The stoned bass pulse of Intro makes for an engaging beginning, instantly inviting listeners into Weval’s hospitable, yet alien sounding world. Just as good is The Battle, which utilizes a hypnotic vocal cut up over soaring melodies and dense electronics to create something which sounds like it came from another world. Other goodies include the Modeselektor style bass pulse of I Don’t Need It, the trance-tinged You’re Mine, while You Made It builds slowly before reaching a euphoric crescendo to leave you desperate for more. Go buy! 8/10. Next up we have Floor To Floor, a killer house and techno compilation from Dusky’s 17 Steps imprint. More British than a bag of fish & chips wrapped in The Sun, this is dance music with a rough, urban edge. The label has been on fire these last couple of years with releases by the likes of Christian Piers, Velvit and Dusky themselves causing devastation to both ears and floors. And, if you are new to 17 Step’s output then Floor To Floor should be all the introduction you need. The aforementioned Velvit gets us off to a blistering start with the funk-filled beats and low bass groove of Looking Glass practically begging the dancer in you to move. Other highlights include the tough garage and rave inspired work-out of Mount Belzoni by Dusky, the low-slung house of Restart The Sun by Hugo Massien, the 90s warehouse vibe of Where Haus? by Alan Fitzpatrick, and the atmospheric techno crunch of Moniker’s Moving. Yet, each and every track is a winner in a compilation which forgoes pretension and chin-stroking to For Those Of You Who Have Never: New Album Reviews concentrate on old fashioned fun. 8/10. Dubstep don Mala’s debut LP, Mala In Cuba, combined traditional Cuban instruments with bass infused soundscapes to create one of the most rewarding listening experiences of 2012. For his sophomore album the producer travelled to Peru for a month to immerse himself in the country’s music and culture. The blissful house jams and laid-back dubstep grooves of Mirrors are the result. A more sedate offering than its predecessor, Mirrors successfully merges the angst of urban London with the openness of rural Peru. If this sounds a bit ‚worthy‘ or too Giles Peterson for your taste, don’t let me put you off, as this is a warm and engaging record from beginning to end. Just listen to the dub pressure of Dedication 365, or the creeping menace They’re Coming to hear exactly what I mean. The odd duff track aside, (please feel free to skip the likes of Cusco Street Scene, or The Calling) this is a rich, rewarding record which will put a bit of sunshine in your days. 8/10. Get Physical’s esteemed Body Language DJ mix series reaches volume 18 this June with a superb house set by London producer Tim Green. With previous editions having featured talents such as Dixon, DJ T, Matthew Dear and M.A.N.D.Y. the pressure is on Tim to deliver the goods. Taking in house, techno, electronica and the odd smidgeon of trance the mix doesn’t disappoint. Over 72 long, luxurious minutes we are taken on an electronic music journey which positively exudes melody, melancholy and an addictive sense of groove. Off You Go by Sven Laux and Justus – Hommage by Ole Biege get us off to a lush, yet subdued start, meaning it’s not until the bass-heavy throb of Tim Green’s own edit of Landslide’s Still There that things really kick off. From here the mix takes in the heart-stirring melodies of Junge Junge’s For Those Of You Who Have Never: New Album Reviews Beautiful Girl, the gorgeously atmospheric Burnt by Kiasmo, and lots more. With many of the highlights being Tim’s own edits created specially for the mix, this is a CD which tells a story you actually want to hear. 8/10. Best known for producing propulsive and dynamic drum n‘ bass, Marcus Intalex has also been making a bit of a name for himself lately in the house and techno communities under his Trevino guise. This month Marcus returns to the alias with the futuristic dance floor funk of the Front LP. Opener, Black Cat sounds as if it has been beamed straight from the dance music utopia of Detroit, its Derrick May-style synth mixing perfectly with a steady 4/4 thump and a succession of acid gurgles to create a track which will cause devastation on any floor.

  • Hawkwind – 50Th Anniversary Live
    Hawkwind – 50th Anniversary Live (58:39 + 48:56, CD, Vinyl, Cherry Red Records, 2020) So kennt man die Space-Rock- Urgesteine. Da feiern Hawkwind ihr 50-jähriges Jubiläum, aber statt darum ein Riesenbrimborium zu veranstalten bauen die Mannen um Dave Brock völlig unprätentiös eine Setlist aus einiges unverwüstlichen Klassikern, aber ebenfalls Material des aktuellen Studioalbums „All Aboard The Skylark“ zusammen. Optisch ansprechend verpackt mit einer Laserhsow, dazu als Gast den langzeitig freundschaftlich verbundenen Kompagnon Phil Campbell – seines Zeichens Gitarrist bei Motörhead – und fertig ist das individuelle Geburtstagspaket. Der Mitschnitt zu diesem Livealbum entstand auf dem Abschlusskonzert der „50th Anniversay Tour“ im November 2019 in der legendären Royal Albert Hall in London. Es steht zwar „50“ drauf, aber letztendlich steckt natürlich etwas weniger drinnen. Denn Hawkwind streifen eben nur einige Stationen ihrer umfangreichen Karriere, setzen zwar in erster Linie auf die Klassiker der 70er wie z.B. ‚Born To Go‘, ‚Space Is Deep‘, ‚Spirit Of The Age‘, ‚The Watcher‘, ‚Silver Machine‘ oder die beiden Doppelpacks ‚Assault And Battery / The Golden Void‘ und ‚Master Of The Universe / Welcome To The Future‘. Doch genauso bekommen insgesamt fünf Stücke aus „All Aboard The Skylark“ ihr Recht. Letztendlich ist dies ein teilweise übergangslos ineinander greifender Mix aus offensichtlichen Klassikern, wenngleich ohne die ganz großen Überraschungen. Dazu noch ein kurzes Blitzlicht in die 80er und 90er, angereichert um aktuelle Stücke. Immerhin gedenkt man beim unverwüstlichen ‚Silver Machine‘ dem legendären ehemaligen Bandmitglied Lemmy Kilmister, wobei ebenfalls der typische augenzwinkernde Humor nicht fehlen darf. Denn der bei diesem Stück den Gesang übernehmende Schlagzeuger Richard Chadwick kontert ganz locker die Frage „Richard verliert seine Stimme, möchtest Du noch ‚Silver Machine‘ singen?“ mit einem klaren „Es geht noch“ und schon geht die sprichwörtliche und gut geölte Space-Rock-Post, der Trip in weite Sphären, mit Volldampf ab.

  • BBC Four Programme Information
    SOUND OF CINEMA: THE MUSIC THAT MADE THE MOVIES BBC Four Programme Information Neil Brand presenter and composer said, “It's so fantastic that the BBC, the biggest producer of music content, is showing how music works for films this autumn with Sound of Cinema. Film scores demand an extraordinary degree of both musicianship and dramatic understanding on the part of their composers. Whilst creating potent, original music to synchronise exactly with the images, composers are also making that music as discreet, accessible and communicative as possible, so that it can speak to each and every one of us. Film music demands the highest standards of its composers, the insight to 'see' what is needed and come up with something new and original. With my series and the other content across the BBC’s Sound of Cinema season I hope that people will hear more in their movies than they ever thought possible.” Part 1: The Big Score In the first episode of a new series celebrating film music for BBC Four as part of a wider Sound of Cinema Season on the BBC, Neil Brand explores how the classic orchestral film score emerged and why it’s still going strong today. Neil begins by analysing John Barry's title music for the 1965 thriller The Ipcress File. Demonstrating how Barry incorporated the sounds of east European instruments and even a coffee grinder to capture a down at heel Cold War feel, Neil highlights how a great composer can add a whole new dimension to film. Music has been inextricably linked with cinema even since the days of the "silent era", when movie houses employed accompanists ranging from pianists to small orchestras.

  • Obscene Gestures: Sexual Transgression and Late Twentieth-Century American Political Culture
    Obscene Gestures: Sexual Transgression and Late Twentieth-Century American Political Culture Patrick Scott Lawrence, PhD University of Connecticut, 2016 Tracing a cultural history from the 1970s to the 1990s, Obscene Gestures places popular and legal notions of obscenity in conversation with anti-consumerist and anti-capitalist resistance movements, women of color feminism, and LGBTQ activism. Since the 1973 Supreme Court ruling in Miller v. California, obscenity discourse has policed the shape of the nation by marking non-normative bodies as objectionable. The dissertation’s study of the cultural artifacts this discourse concerns opens by situating the history of literary obscenity alongside the key theories of sexuality, power, race, and knowledge. The first body chapter links the Miller ruling with 1970s-era neoconservative policies by considering some of the decade’s major novels, including Thomas Pynchon’s Gravity’s Rainbow (1973), revealing a home- front cultural politics that stymied dissent by classing as out of bounds many forms of political speech, including Huynh Cong Ut’s 1972 photo The Terror of War. Chapter Two builds upon the polarization this moment caused via an analysis of the feminist battles over pornography in the early 1980s. I juxtapose figures on both sides of this debate with works by women of color, such as Alice Walker’s The Color Purple (1983), that address the histories of embodiment that this debate tended to obscure. The occlusion of race in organizing around pornography parallels the role of possessive individualism in justifying racial wealth disparities during the Reagan administration, which the third chapter highlights. Working in the shadow of the 1986 Meese Commission report, this chapter interprets neoliberal economic policies as an enactment of racial indifference through the metaphors of sex and violence in The Bonfire of the Vanities (1987) and American Psycho (1990).
