Πάρε λίγο από τα χαρισματικά φωνητικά των Wild Beasts και του Antony, λίγο από τον θεατρικό χαρακτήρα των Efterklang πρόσθεσε και δύο πρέζες από Baroque και έχεις ένα ντεμπούτο που αν όλα πάνε όπως τα περιμένω θα ξεχωρίσει την χρονιά που μας έρχεται. Είναι οι The Irrepressibles, από την μεγάλη βρετανία, μια εννιαμελής ιδιόμορφη ορχήστρα, έχει όλα τα προσόντα να σου γεμίσει τις ελεύθερες ώρες του χειμώνα με αξέχαστη pop μουσική, δοκίμασε!

Strictly limited vinyl edition - a CD version of this album will only be released in April 2010.
An accompaniment to the animated film 'Varmints', this is a collection of achingly beautiful orchestral work balanced on a bed of Jóhannsson's patented electronics. Surprisingly however, the film itself is not intrinsic to the enjoyment of the music; Jóhannsson's score stands alone perfectly as a haunting collection of tracks.
As with most soundtracks, the album is made up of a selection of repeating themes which appear and disappear throughout the record; Jóhannsson manages to approach this with such subtlety you can't always even tell that a familiar theme is drifting in and out of each track. The clouds of ambience and growls of synthesizer that underpin the lilt of the orchestra are crucial to the record and give a similar warmth similar to what made 'Englaborn' so very special. These pieces are memorable and deeply moving, and within one listen you could almost visualise the film itself – or at least a home made version. Soundtrack or not, Jóhannsson has created yet another peerless collection of electronic/classical vignettes you won't be forgetting any time soon.
How to Be a Child & Win the War
Το 2010 ξεκινάει για την Inner Ear με την κυκλοφορία του πρώτου άλμπουμ των Electric Litany, “How to Be a Child & Win the War”. Οι Electric Litany έρχονται από την Αγγλία, και αποτελούνται από τον Αλέξανδρο Μίαρη (φωνητικά, κιθάρες, πιάνο, synths), τον Duane Petrovitch (μπάσο) and Richard Simic (drums). Μέσα σε μικρό διάστημα χρόνου έχουν καταφέρει να μαγέψουν το κοινό με τις «στοιχειωμένες» μελωδίες, την ασυγκράτητη δυναμική και τους ρομποτικούς ρυθμούς τους. Το “How to Be a Child & Win the War” ηχογραφήθηκε τον Ιούλιο του 2009 σε μια εγκαταλελειμένη εκκλησία στο Βόρειο Λονδίνο και θα κυκλοφορήσει από την Inner Ear τον ερχόμενο Ιανουάριο.A Theme For The Moon

'This is the first splendid album of Ashram’s pianist solo. Crystal notes of piano, nostalgia of violin, grace of Cello brings one into a very intense feeling of emotion, moving & intimist. Like an original soundtrack, the music draws the most peaceful & celestial timeless landscapes one can imagine. Luigi Rubino started playing and studying piano and liturgical organ when he was 10, with both Italian and foreign teachers. Piano player with the band Ashram, he collaborated with bands such as Argine, Corde Oblique, Trees... Today he dedicates himself to original composition and loves 20th century classical music (Debussy, Poulenc, Bach, Pergolesi, Rachmaninov, Chopin, Wagner but also Satie, Keith Jarrett, Arvo Part or Morricone).''

drugs
Για κάτι τέτοιες στιγμές θα πάω και στις δύο εμφανίσεις τους την άλλη εβδομάδα στο Rodeo.
Για την τετάρτη μου μας έρχεται στην εκπομπή έχουμε αφιέρωμα :
Δύο ώρες αλύπητα, και όποιος αντέξει!!!
είδα live τους a place to bury strangers και είμαι καλά
Υ.Γ2 Ναι ο zeugolator φορούσε ωτοασπίδες σχεδόν σε ολόκληρο το live, μόνο στο τελειωτικό τζαμάρισμα τόλμησε να τις βγάλει. Καλά έκανε γιατί μετά το live των Fuck Button άκουσε στο 100% μετά από 5 μέρες.
Υ.Γ3 Την συναυλία αυτή μόλις τελείωσε ο zeugolator την χαρακτήρισε γρήγορα γρήγορα ως την καλύτερη της ζωής του, δεν κράτησε για πολύ όμως, τον πλησίασε αυτός ο κερατάς και του είπε κατά λέξη ''ίσως από τα καλύτερα live που έχουν γίνει στην χώρα μας, αλλά σε κλίμακα my bloody valentine αυτό ήταν ένα 0,3 στα 100''.

Thee Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra (SMZ) returns with its sixth full-length recording and first since the band’s line-up change of summer 2008. Having shed three members and recruited one (drummer David Payant) the group officially dropped the "Tra-La-La Band’ from its name, played a debut performance as a newly minted quintet at All Tomorrow’s Parties in upstate NY, and embarked on an extensive European tour through the fall of 2008. As Kollaps Tradixionales ably demonstrates, the band has lost none of its raw and frazzled anthemic power and continues to forge bold new ground in its search for a unique hybrid of punk, blues, psych, folk and modern orchestral idioms.
Anchored by the fried electric guitar and plangent voice of band leader Efrim Menuck (who previously co-founded Godspeed You! Black Emperor ) SMZ continues to slide comfortably and unforcedly towards an expansive, loose and blues-inflected balladry – not so much the inexorably riffing blues shuffle of the title track from its previous effort, 13 Blues For Thirteen Moons, but a more languid waltz-time marking an almost smouldering dynamic arc, as heard on the new album’s opening track “There Is A Light” and gorgeous closer “’Piphany Rambler”.
Needless to say, the slow burn with SMZ, whatever the blues influence these days, bears little reference to typical notions of musical seduction, relaxation, or hip-swinging satisfaction. What smoulders here is much more precarious and anxious, driven by some of this decade’s more devastating lyrical conjurings – of the universal outsider and the thematics of 21st century western psychic oppression. As the lyrics to “There Is A Light” attest, these are no simple paens to the human spirit, but songs of complex, desperate and thorny hope. The words to this song (and so many others too often poorly understood in the SMZ cannon) should at least give the lie to the oft-repeated charge that Menuck is some sort of miserablist or glib pessimist. This time around, they are also legibly printed for all to see and read in the accompanying insert.
With Efrim now the lone guitarist, his shattered oscillating tone and staggered snarling leads collide against one another on tape, framed by a swirling widescreen backdrop of dual violins, courtesy Sophie Trudeau and Jessica Moss. Their playing is in ways more classically orchestral than ever in many places on Kollaps Tradixionales, serving up arpeggiated runs and modernist strokes that counterbalance and destabilize the more conventional progressions at the core of any given song or movement. Thierry Amar’s upright bass work as always plays a similar role, fluidly moving from harmonic anchor to counterpoint to adventurous extrapolation, displaying this player’s fluency and alliance with free jazz, improv and out music. The way all these strings push and pull, with their own multiplicity of influences, against those punk rock ‘lektrik guitars has long been one of SMZ’s crucial and inimitable strengths. It is on fine display in many exciting new guises on the new album, and the band’s freshest member, dummer David Payant, does a wonderful job playing into and off of this heady brew.
And of course there is plenty going on here that ain’t no blues at all, particularly the two middle sides of this four-sided album. “Metal Bird”, as it has been known to fans from set lists over the past couple of years, takes up Side Two (or tracks 2 +3 on the CD) and the two sections now bear titles that together spell out the entire first enigmatic line of the song. This has been a massive crowd favourite in concert in recent years, careening through a throbbing 7/4 template of intertwined ascending and descending lines, coalescing into unison melodies and pumping breakdowns. The sonic references are abundant, ranging from afrobeat to bouzouki music to hard bop to punk rock – culminating in the memorable refrain “dance you motherfuckers”. The three phases of the album’s ‘title track’ on Side Three (with their variant spellings and parenthetical modifiers) are indeed ‘traditionals’ of a sort, playing on tropes of American and Anglo-Saxon folk, marching song, sea shanty and hymnal. Together they make for perhaps the most overtly enchanting (“Kollapz”), tender (“Collapse”) and terrifyingly rapturous (“Kollaps”) music on the record.
Kollaps Tradixionales is available on CD in a custom gatefold paperboard jacket with lyric sheet insert, and on double 180g 10" vinyl in a deluxe package that includes a CD copy of the album, a special 16-page 7″×9″ perfect bound art book of found image collages by Efrim Menuck and filmmaker/photographer Jem Cohen with a foil-embossed cover, and a limited edition silkscreen poster. All papers and boards used in the packaging for both formats are 100% recycled. The album is also available digitally.
