Comment: Sensorama 19-81 is the project of the Chilean musician Rafael Casanova whose 12-track issue is a mellifluous love affair of indie/alternative rock with art and progressive rock chips. More profoundly, it does conjure up lots of lofty developments and uncanny sonic explorations from exuberant chamber music panning and elaborate and almost frenetic spoken word snippets to more familiar rock structures. However, as usual, being bound with one another those weird aspects used fortunately to be predominant and to be remembered. And if the familiar ones will appear then these moments are multilayered and profound enough to provide captivating sensations. Indeed, I have to praise the artist for producing such vivid and flourishing soundscapes. Once the term progressive rock was a depreciatory one especially being condemned by many punks. However, this patchwork by attitude is more punk than most punk albums, especially today when many punk ensembles are the kind of caricature just having a bit in common with the genuine ideas of the subgenre. All in all, it is fascinating.

Comment: similarly to most of the UK-based The Bordellos' previous issues it is a mushy one veering away from awkward littery balladry to more impetuous and twitchy garage rock gears with some hints at hirsute Americana, and folk rock. In truth, post-punk has also been a main fare in their menu though it is not the recent case. Just getting together on weekends to have some beers and chin music and thereafter improvise some tracks at their own disposal. Sounds like fun. Despite some slightly adverse adjectives mentioned above The Bordellos provide examples of inner flaring which in fact are catchy. However, the favourites of mine are such releases as Gary Glitter EP, How To Lose Friends And Influence No-One, and The Bordellos Underground Tape 10.
