https://actrecords.bandcamp.com/album/catching-ghosts-1 Jazz Rating: World Treasure released April 28, 2023 It’s with a heavy heart that I’m writing this so soon after Brötzmann’s passing at 82 years old. He’s obviously one of the great voices and in some cases one of the most brutal in jazz. If you don’t know about him and his music theContinue reading “Brötzmann – Bekkas – Drake Catching Ghosts”

486REVIVAL by 486 Paradise
Genre: Experimental Rating: Highly Recommended released February 10, 2023 It’s been a minute since I’ve checked out a new B O G U S // COLLECTIVE release but the glitch tag piqued my interest. Glitch music used to be high on my radar but suddenly I just started seeing less of it. I still enjoyContinue reading “486REVIVAL by 486 Paradise”

in the end we are all leaving by default.cfg
https://noproblemadigital.bandcamp.com/album/in-the-end-we-are-all-leaving Genre: Ambient Rating: 5/5 released on bandcamp March 15, 2022 It’s been a bit too long since I’ve heard a truly pioneering ambient release. And as much as I love aggressive music there’s something very special about music that successfully adds a large dose of the surreal in a peaceful way. It’s easy toContinue reading “in the end we are all leaving by default.cfg”
Masses by Armbruster
https://armbruster.bandcamp.com/album/masses Rating: 5/5 Genre: American Classical This music hits hard with sorrow and beauty. Two comparisons came quickly to mind. Jonny Greenwood’s Power of Dog score and Aaron Copland. It’s a bit more melancholy than Copland but it’s essentially doing the same thing: Providing the soundtrack to America’s lost and damaged soul. Perhaps appropriate toContinue reading “Masses by Armbruster”
ANTIDAWN EP by Burial
https://burial.bandcamp.com/album/antidawn-ep Genre: Hauntology Rating: 5/5 released on bandcamp January 6, 2022 Mark Fisher would have loved this record. Burial’s most minimalist and ethereal work is their best to date. ANTIDAWN sounds like the permanent time of a day in a bardo and this sounds like the musical memories passed along through spectral telepathy of theContinue reading “ANTIDAWN EP by Burial”
Hauntology In UK by Various Artists
https://eighthtowerrecords.bandcamp.com/album/hauntology-in-uk Lost futures is the nexus of Mark Fisher’s interpretation of Derrida’s philosophical movement Hauntology. Like the organizer of this project, Sonologyst, I too am a fan of Mark Fisher and have be molded to some degree by his book Ghosts of My Life named after the Japan song. Fisher and I are very closeContinue reading “Hauntology In UK by Various Artists”

https://boguscollective.bandcamp.com/album/aw0rldofconflict Genre: Hauntology Rating: 5/5 released on bandcamp October 15, 2021 A copy of a copy of a copy of a memory soaked in a ethereal ghostly nostalgia and false memories and senile fantasies. I’ve never heard it taken this far and even if I have I’ve never heard it taken this far this successfully.Continue reading “aw0rldofConfLict冲突的世界 by クリチバの地下鉄”
