COH "0397post" Album Review

title of review
Reminds me a bit of Autechre and Fennesz, except more minimalist and rilly sucky. This guy is pretty talentless at music. He has a decent grasp of sound texturing and rhythm, but when it comes to melody and harmony he's completely inept. Wasp Wisp is decent because it capitalises on texture in a way that makes melody and harmony almost redundant, creating a buzzing drone that sounds like a sparking severed electrical wire. It reminds me of Pan Sonic. Most of the other songs are just total poop.

Mick Harris "Hednod Sessions" Album Review

Rumbling bass, haunting atmospherics, and wicked beats.
You don't just listen to the Hednod sessions, you experience it. Deep, vibrating bass lines plumb the depths of your inner core. Atmospherics drifting on the edges of sanity keep your attention throughout. The mad beats bind everything together. Hypnotic, heavy, grooving beats. These are the kind of beats that climb inside your mind and stay a while.

Mori Chieko "Jumping Rabbit" Album Review

Koto Pleasantries (and occasional surprises)
The last time John Zorn's Tzadik label released a solo koto album was back in 1998, with Yagi Michiyo's firey, avant-garde 'Shizuku'. Anyone expecting more of the same here, though, will be in for a disappointment - 'Jumping Rabbit' has to be one of the "nicest" albums Zorn and co have ever released. Almost too much so, in places: there's something just a little too New Age-ish about 'Fly Away' and 'Dreams', while the wide-eyed childlike vocals on 'Moon Park' and 'Paper Airplane' are, to put it mildly, a bit of an acquired taste. Fortunately, there's a bit of tension elsewhere: the jaunty, off-kilter blurts of 'Jumping Rabbit' and cyclical figures of 'Charm Music Box' are as musically adventurous as they are technically impressive. Ditto the likes of 'Midnight Forest' and 'Red + Balloon', although it's hard not to wish that they'd been fleshed-out a little beyond their meager running times.
