Bob Ostertag - Say No More (2011)
/Improvised music, Avant-garde, Noise, Experimentalism, Free jazz, Chamber music/
Comment: originally these two long-running compositions were created approximately 20 years ago with the help of such legends as Joey Baron (percussion), Mark Dresser (bass), Phil Minton (vocal), and Gerry Hemingway (percussion). Initially the layers of the compositions were played in and recorded apart from each other and later elaborated and brushed up by Bob Ostertag and thereafter sent back to the musicians to learn their parts. The collective was born in this way. However, the outlet is very intense, noisy, and abrasive being immersed in various stylistic elements - extending from dizzy drumming snippets and Minton`s mad vowel/lycanthropic improvisations to few more subdued incantations embellished with the elements of chamber music all of that is wrapped up with the electro-acoustic ambiance. In a word, it sounds like a punk record within the plot of jazz world. In fact, it is much worth if to juxtapose it to a point on the average punk record scale.

Comment: Josè Soberanes aka Huixtralizer, an experimental music producer from Tula, Mexico provides 3 tracks which used to run on dirty, unpolished pathways made up of subdued (though, it is maliciously harsh now and then) noise and ambient, or even veering away the tendencies of subtle borealic vibes and scintillations (like Tim Hecker`s albums in the beginning of 00s). It can be assured the whole can be perceived lush and noiseful simultaneously. The issue is released on the legendary A.M.P-RECS.

/Experimental indie, Post-psychedelic electronica, Leftfield, Glo-fi, Alternative, Electronic pop, Poptronica, Sampledelic/
Comment: there are up 11 tracks which used to occasion lots of damnable vivid moments and miraculous feelings coming out from within me. It is neither pure electronic pop nor clear-cut indie pop - it is laid down somewhere in between. It is not even a chillwave/glo-fi act, it rather resembles of the sample-based/sampledelic works by The Avalanches or something like that which used to build on conspicuous warped pop visions. The project comes out from Philadelphia, USA. It is truly suggestive and enthralling now and then.
