Comment: this batch of three long-running compositions is a way for intriguing and intricate sonic combinations, innovative experiments, and decent accomplishments we need in the afternoon of incoming end of the human kind as the aggressive cancer on Earth. Indeed, one can see a very clear parallel with the deadly disease because if an organism gets killed the disease also will succumb. If behind it is a reasonable being then it can be called stupidity. No less no more. In another sense, one can imagine, even if the gross cancerous disease gets eradicated there remain yet some bad cells spread out in an organism which later may get activated and the adverse process takes off again. There can be drawn analogous parallels to the existence and history of the race of homo sapiens. How to survive, how to disseminate, how to annihilate real and possible rivals. Through its exaggerated and voluptuous nature it is even more inferior and destructive than the usual behaviour of an average being from the other species. Creating the art and dealing with analytical philosophy is the only indulgence for the biped malady. The best way to get out from it is just to abandon all this civilised crap by escaping to the wildlife until one's very end. This can be the only purgative, redemptive asylum for a human being. These sometimes wobbly and sometimes more aggressive industrial-tinged rhythms and piercing yet atmospheric noises and alongside running corrupted sonic effects and on the other side sleazy and exhaustive ambient glimpses reflect upon the aforementioned perversity in an artsy way. These 39 minutes of a fine sort are a part of the discography of the Chilean imprint Cieliro Diystro.

Improvised music
Avant-garde
Experimentalism
Drone
Electro-acoustic
Free jazz
Field recording
Musique concréte

Comment: this bunch of 15 tracks (most of them are just very short snippets) begins with an intense glistening droning (the truly blissful start to an outstanding release as we can get convinced eventually!) which later will be variegated with electro-acoustic improvisations, downright electronic effects, field recording mixed wide plateaus, uncanny dodges towards obscure jazz inclinations and vowel-based experiments beyond distinctive categorization – in a word, there is no borders to be established. By its nature it is an example of simply experimental music wherein the musicians employ all the aforementioned elements in a playful, witty, and incisive way. By its frequently primitive way at will it is coated with broken sounds and crackling currents as if partaking in an oldie simulacrum providing no dates, providing no spatial parametric orientations. It does mean, of course, the outing is filled in with wholesome humour, it is a something truly one's consciousness broadening and inspiring case being an issue coming out from the discography of Mansarda Records.

Comment: this set of 7 tracks continues to unveil the madness of the artist whose first outing was Old Norse Mara (2013) being issued some months before. The title is appropriate, of course, I feel myself like being a witness of a live bed show directly coming out from the Brocken/Blocksberg mountain. I first thought the issue to be pigeonholed as lo-fi and DIY among other ones yet obviously lo-fi says very little about it – it might be it is a simulacrum of it yet on the other side, there is no obvious need to create it – it is an original synthesis which might be something between a new coming of Captain Beefheart, and Sun City Girls. Or it might be a five times darker version of Animal Collective's Campfire Songs. More profoundly, blackened dirges are up there to slowly change into abstract sort of slowed-down drones, then again trance-inducing rhythms are set up to create hypnotic loops and serpentine labyrinths in one's soul. Intensities are up there to get variegated – it is the true algorithm of it. From lethargic witch dreaming to exalting bipolar appearances to come in a way you will find eventually yourself in a state of mind where time and space as the parameters of our physical world are completely eradicated. The mind-provoking outing is a bit in the discography of Centipede Farm.

Reckless Kickers – Conquer EP (2013)

Lemari Kota

Skate punk
Pop punk
Hardcore punk
Skatecore

Comment: Reckless Kickers is not a North American band like Sum 41, The Offspring, Blink-182 and who have not sold millions of albums but instead of it coming from Indonesia yet playing an analogous punk style. More profoundly, high-energized melodic guitar riffs, fast drumming, invigorated and slightly happy singing is something which can be pigeonholed as melodic hardcore, pop punk, skatecore. By following the lyrics of one song regarding repulsive and desperate feelings related to urban life it might be more righteous to consider it eco-punk/agrarian punk. Just the failed joke of mine. In the first place, it is a sort of pop music rather than a bearer of early punk spirit in spite of the fact Sex Pistols was a business project by Malcolm McLaren. Undoubtedly it is produced very masterfully with some suggestive noise pop-inflected walls behind the refrains which can be considered the most arousing facet of the album. The 5-notch outing is a bit of the discography of Lemari Kota, a fine platform within the vast Indonesian music landscape.
