Works for Upright Bass and Amplifier
by Luke Stewart
supported by 26 fans who also own “Retriever”
Urgency, groove, tradition, anger, it's all there in this wonderful bass sound. The pieces reveal different aspects each time I listen to them. Feedback, overtones, shifting patterns, lyrical moments, make this a very contemporary and explorative album, while tone and phrasing at times reaffirm the power of the instrument's tradition.

MEM, ALEPH, LASSIS performed by THE PITCH & BONDI/D'INCISE/MAJKOWSKI
by Cyril Bondi & d'incise

Hamid Drake is utterly unique. Anyone who watches him perform will be in awe of the fluidity of his movements and his rhythmic sensibilities. Both can seem supra-human at times. This is not a collaboration which I would have predicted to even take place, let alone be successful. Just goes to show how little confidence I have in my good fortune. Mako Sica is “free-rock trio” from Chicago whose members seem to have a very wide palette of tones and musical ideas to draw upon. This is a melange of spacey psychedelic jazz which repays careful listening. It’s immediately likable. But the more you listen the more you see, if I may coin a phrase. The deeper you go the warmer and more satisfying this mixture of influences becomes. Pick up this limited edition cassette while you can.

A wild free improvisational ride that melds free jazz, black metal, noise rock, and lounge into one vision.

Dazzling vibraphone compositions that set gentle tones against empty air to create constellations of sound.

The new album from electroacoustic composer Jeremy Young is draped in a sense of mystery, tones flickering gently, like an old home movie.
