Comment: I guess this is not the first issue being inspired by the legendary traveller and geographer of Norwegian heritage whose moves in the periphery of Northern hemisphere made him immortal due to his superhuman stretch. Valovoima's three track issue though embracing lengthy compositions reflects tightly upon possible appearances and situations with convincing power through propellent, galvanised energy yet being at times segmented into more murky, at times more cheerfully ennobling progressions. Musically and stylistically it is a quite extraordinary outing because of incorporating such styles as laid back downtempo, reverberating shamanistic trance and shrill Hi-NRG into each other. The issue which simultaneously provokes one's mind and soothes it due to majestic synthesised progressions is a part of the discography to Kovaydin.

The Hirundu – The Savage Crimes E.P (1990)

Bandcamp

DIY
Lo-fi
Alternative rock
Avant-rock
Experimental rock
Psych-rock
Indie rock
Outsider
Jangle pop

Comment: Mark E. Smith and The Fall are being considered as true representatives of the underground rock movement. Although The Blackpool, UK-based John Crewdson-led project The Hirundu could be considered a doppelgänger of the Manchester legends yet they have represented something even more through since the end of the 80s. Stylistically they are more diverse and musically more hoarse and firsthand. This was their one of the first issues at all while they were being more guitar driven sounding as a demented, fucked-up blues influenced rock and roll act, the formula which was two decades earlier invented by Captain Beefheart. Strumming (indeed, reflecting upon then strong jangle pop influence – for instance, at I'll See You you could draw comparisons with McCarthy) and at times light-hearted propulsive guitars are set atop in the middle of buried singing and reversed sonic effects and inferior yet somehow stimulating tape hisses. The Blackpool-based combo's music consisting of four pieces is very elegant and irresistible in its lo-fi tinged approach. It is a very solid notch within their great legacy being issued under their own Pitch And Putt Records.

Stereoshape – New Vintage (2012)

Bandcamp

Nu jazz
Breaks
Funk soul
Alternative dance
Brass pop
Synth rock
Soft rock
House

Comment: this is a magnificent dance pop interface made up of catchy funk, soul, nu jazz, house and brass pop threads. It is highly dance appealed, sexy, sweaty and rhythmic. In a word, I am saying the words being tautological with regard to the extraverted rhythmic music. Nonetheless there are represented some deviations from the main formula where the artist is immersed in silky dreams and velvety longing. Furthermore, the issue proves that a scope within the dance music by a contemporary artist could be very wide having no doubts and spoiling considerations. Just take them off to get full sway over one's body language and mood. Just listen to it to get convinced of the quality of this 9-piece issue. It is not a disposable issue, because it will not be an issue in ages. It is an exalting cocktail for all ages from Mainz, Germany. The project`s newest issue Laser Lori awaits to be listened.
