Al Jolson - Collected Works of Al Jolson (2005)

/Music hall, Vaudeville, Jazz, Classic pop, Blues, Vintage sound/
Comment: there are Jolson`s collected works from the years of 1911-26. It is massive, 36 ditties in total. Al Jolson was the the pop star on its own in the beginning of 00s, approximately 100 years ago. The World`s Greatest Entertainer was said about him at his heyday. More detailly, jazz, blues, ragtime, vaudeville tinged songs are to pour out fun and delight, and even farcelike seeds from within the miscellany. In a word, it is a tremendous experience to listen to some of the notches being older than 100 years. A classic one by any means.
Last King Of Poland – Follow Lonely Roads (2012)

/Electro-acoustic, Avant-garde, Experimentalism, Noise, Acousmatics, Avant-electronica, Abstract, Non music, Sound art/
Comment: Last King Of Poland is Tomasz Jurczak who explores the realms of ragged electro/psycho-acoustics, ghastly noise in a pair of long-running progressions. More concretely, there are represented interesting vocal-based developments amplified with profound reverbs and the shapes of repetitive formations or hammering at metal and edged, noiseful electronic effects on the other side. Indeed, at times the parts of it are truly obsessive. However, the result seems to be bigger than the sum of its particles.

Comment: undoubtedly Andreas Rohden is one of the most intriguing folk/indie songwriters from (Bochum) Germany and Europe generally. The recent array of 7-tracks clocking in at a length of 15 minutes all in all could be cited as the most accessible album ever produced by him. As the title hints at itself it consists of halcyon guitar chords only. Indeed, the pieces are polished, clear-cut and arranged without effects and whimsical point of view. Yet, on the other side, the whole seems to chime in arty way where arpeggio-pitched acoustic guitar chords used to occur as instrumental introspective visions which altogether will offer pleasant moments and calming milieus.
