Comment: as you know at the moment there is going on a local war between the USA and Russia in Syria. I am quite sure there are some guileful reasons behind it. Ultimately the very reason seems to be the annihilation of some Russian friends like Syria, and then Iran and in this way to surround Russia as a country by all the sides. Why it is important to the so-called democratic countries to excel at it? Because in the final fight the advantage could be given to the country who would have better preserved their resources and of which environment is less polluted and of which territory is less inhabited. For sure, it will not be the USA at least. Do you think of Elon Musk's idea to flight off to the Red Planet as a viable one? No, it is just a goofy talk with the intention to shuffle real traces. In fact, the human race as a species is a miserable one and is not able to fulfil it and the only solution to survive is to protect Earth. But it is not possible anymore because we cannot withdraw the hyped need to get more and more things and artefacts, to get a better feeling while shopping and consuming. Don't talk me about transporting democracy to such countries like Iraq, Libya, and Syria because all of that ended up and will end up in human catastrophes by having done in false-hearted reasons. Just providing lies, and the elite's nepotism to get advantage in having useless things on their own. At the same time people are induced to compete with one another yet this does not have sense at all. This has a little to do with the ultimate end, to protect our and other species` existence.

Just listen to this 4-notch issue by the Englishman Robin Rochdale whose music embraces abrasive and collisional elements with pessimistic allusions, it may be a post-apocalyptic insight without life, emotions and reason. All will be lower than the grass. Yet then there would be no signs about the existence of deceitful souls on Earth anymore. The time of heroes would come up. At Handicraft 2 one can hear a ridiculous yet compelling repetition which is a sign to perfectly illustrate the absurdity of the recent situation. The issue is a part of the discography of Pilot Eleven. Why we need new versions of mobile phones? Are they somehow better than my Samsung Galaxy S4 I have been using since the beginning of 2015? Eat why'self fitter. (Indeed, listen to the Fall instead of getting information from fake newspapers, as your choice).

Math rock
Alternative rock
Indie rock
Crossover
Post-rock
Post-metal
Art rock
Art metal
Mood music
Dance rock

Comment: this 2-notch issue is something of which can be produced in Brazil only. Could you imagine a dance appealed post-rock example with some metal adornments and beyond that it is mixed up with more easy sonic chips as horn sections which used to progress into bossa nova-alike flickers and beatific incantations. Additionally, if you hear an issue of consisting of a flow of permanent chord turns it seems to more resonate with the moody nature of the human being nonetheless all the chords are controlled in mathematical sequences. The outing is a bit in the discography of Sinewave.

Colten Tyler Williams – Radiance of Resistance (2017)

Nulogic

Ambient drone
Post-rock
Post-classical
Crossover
Avant-rock
Experimental rock
Epic
Electronic music
Chamber music
Post-industrial

Comment: this 8-track composition by a US-based artist is profound and multifold full of intriguing twists and epic dramas, of course all of that is represented in an artsy way. From big beat rhythm thudded hovering cello created horizons which in turn is subjugated to a minimalist industrial algorithm (Patient). It chimes like an issue of Penguin Cafe Orchestra were produced by Coil. In a word, the result can be murky and glowering at times. Furthermore, you can hear echo drenched ambiances and incisive, even harsh electronic developments being an accompaniment to guitar based quests including marred guitar orchestrated outbursts. And heavily stomped piano chords floating through the void. CTW is a talented guy for sure of how he can create a crafty crossroad between so many styles. Another side is related to emotions, more profoundly, to emotive impulses. Indeed, it overwhelming and arousing. It is music which may make you agitated, or maybe not. Indeed, the result is outstanding being issued on Nulogic.

System Morgue – Distress (2018)

DNA Production

Ambient drone
Post-rock
Shoegaze
Micronoise
Alternative
Avant-garde
Experimental rock
Avant-rock
Dronegaze
Minimalism

Comment: System Morgue is a Sankt Peterburg, Russian one-man-project whose music could be categorised as meta-shoegaze because this 4-track issue opens up new perspectives from different points of view. Shoegaze as an approach has been developed by using techniques already known yet employed by other genres like ambient, noise, drone, minimalism, post-punk, melody hooks enriched easy listening. All these techniques were distilled within indie music to an extent until thereafter we could speak about it as a new genre. Since the 00s the coil started to close up because the aforementioned genres of which shoegaze as a genre was spurred by started to incorporate the genre's own distilled qualities to the mix. It can be admitted while listening to the release one can hear the aforementioned process in its beauty. More profoundly, you actually feel no need to draw the line between indie, and metal, between pulsating minimalism and distorted guitar and sublime synth induced ambient (rock), between atmospheric droning and watered-down yet still gritty noise. In a word, is it an example of abstract shoegaze? Top notch by any means.
