THE HATERS - FURTHER

• the haters: further
  (2008, cd, usa, transparency 0322)

The Transparency label has never been afraid of taking risks.
Here's another album that will probably only appeal to a very small audience.

Founded by SURVIVAL RESEARCH LAB's GX JUPITTER=LARSEN, THE HATERS were formed in 1979 and are known as America's premier noise act. They won Best Electronic Experimental Artist in the 2005 LA Weekly music awards. These are brand new studio recordings, two "extra noisy" tracks totaling over an hour. "A lot of what people think is Noise is not. The only true Noise bands I can think of are TNB and The Haters and stuff like that because it has no human element to it whatsoever."-John Olsen of Wolf Eyes (Transparency).

MIKE KENEALLY & MARCO MINNEMANN - EVIDENCE OF HUMANITY

• mike keneally: evidence of humanity
  (2010, cd+dvd, usa, exowax)

"Evidence Of Humanity" has a extraordinary and exceptional concept. Percussionist and composer Marco Minnemann provided the same album-length drum improvisation to different artists and invited them to compose music for it.
Among the participating artists one finds Trey Gunn and Alex Machacek just to name two. And now Mike Keneally has been added to the list as well.

Mike Keneally's music has always been on the on the edge. And with every new album, he went a bit further, making the new album sounding even more MK then the previous one.

With "Evidence Of Humanity", Mike Keneally leads you even further away from the safe, familiar and comforting path.

This is music that you will want to hear again and again.
But remember, this is not the album that you should try when you've never heard Mike Keneally's music before.

This is good. It's great. It's fabulous. It's just not easy.
There's lots of Zappa-esque rhythms and lines in there as well. Check out 'Tooth And Cold Stone Pew' if you can.

Highly recommended !!

• dj grazzhoppa's dj bigband + aka moon: s/t
  (2010, cd + dvd, bel, cypres)

Here's the new AKA MOON album!!

Imagine this: 12 DJs and their turntables that are being directed as a bigband. Add to this, top jazz improvisers Aka Moon, plus the soulful voice of Monique Harcum, and you get "DJ Grazzhoppa's BigBand with Aka Moon".

This project did a couple of concerts, one of which was at Jazz Middelheim.

Pretty incredible. You have to hear it to believe it...

FABRIZZIO CASSOL - VSPRS

• fabrizio cassol: vsprs
  (2006, cd, bel, cypres open 02)

When Fabrizio Cassol was asked by choreographer Alain Platel to write music inspered by Monteverdi's "Vespri della Beata Vergine" for a dance production, he wrote beautiful baroque music with jazz, oriental and arabian influences.

The result was called "Vsprs" and was used for the performance by the Les Ballets C. de le B. dance group.

For the live performance of the music, Fabrizio joined Aka Moon with a baroque ensemble, a gypsy duo and some classical singers.

The album presents a studio recording of the music.
Astonishing.
Data have been added to the United Mutations Archives.
