Well I'm notorious for my prolific review writing...

Two reviews in just over a year!  It'll be quite some time until I review that Zaar album.

Brilliant Addendum (or whatever it's called) there James Clap
 
And yes, Adam you are right , it is Smegma.
When I started working on Zaar I wasn't too sure which bands Joren told me he wanted to do... Now I am calm.

Damn it....
I just realized I "lost" the biography of Stormy Six I wrote for their addition to PA Angry
I forgot to transfer it from my old PC when I left my previous country two weeks ago.
Anyone interested in writing a biography for them? Embarrassed Question Ermm

I would say yes but there is a little factor I know nothing about the band, neither sound or history wise. What does the band sound like?

First of let me say:
 
Damn, damn damn damn and damn again Angry    LOL
 
I had a good bio written about them.
They are one of the founding RIO bands and were at the original RIO concerts alongside Samla, Etron, and the rest of the lot.
They did not start out as a RIO band at all. They started out as a psych band and only by their 5th album did they release what you can call a proper RIO album called L'apprendista. They perfected that with the next one called Macchina maccheronica.
They were very much identified as a left wing part band.
 
Read more about them here:

From first listen this sounds good to me and interesting. I can hear different influences (but I am really crap at trying to identify them).
At times, it sounds a bit like game music Ermm but the end result is good, and I think that keeping on this way will culminate in music I will like even more.

I wanted to inform you that Zaar has been added to PA by yours truly.
You can now write your praising reviews about their s/t album (actually you should write them, not only can LOL)
 
Have a good day everyone.
 
Nice work, Assaf - I'll try to get round to reviewing it soon - a solid 4* effort IMO. Mind you, I've still got the second Sotos album to review, plus I was going to add Charles Hayward, ZNR and a couple of others to the database.
 
Incidentally, OOIOO make an incredibly joyous noise. I just had to share that with everybody.

Yes OOIOO certainly do make a very listenable kind of noise; if you want to catagorise it this is way. Which albums have you heard? I'm assuming Kila Kila Kila and Feather Float I have not listened to these yet (I will soon) but I own their other albums which are also very commendable. I think it was an inevitable step for me considering my love for the Boredoms.

Also by any chance has anyone heard of MACHINE GUN TV? I think they might have some connections with Eye Yamatsuka, but I am not sure.

Excellent, I eagerly wait for your band additions.
 
I listened to some Ooioo yesterday and I agree. Unique band and original as well.

I got Miasma & the Carousel of Headless Horses' album Perils in the mail today and I'm listening to it right now, very good album that reminds me of some of the improvs the Red era King Crimson would do, only with more piano presense and guitars that aren't as heavy in parts.Thumbs Up

Let's see, I bought it off the Import CD Specialists vendor on Amazon new for a little less than $10, with shipping it was around $12.

I'm hoping somebody here is going to be able help me with this question I was wonder whether anybody knew if the band "Golden Avant-garde" are worth the listen. This is another project of Lacrymosa's Chihiro S. Since I like Lacrymosa I was thinking this could be something close to my tastes?

Well... I think it is about time for my next recommendation. While flicking through some pictures of my holiday through Russia and Estonia I was reminded of a band I discovered in the heart of Estonia, Tallin. While wandering the streets of Tallin I stumbled upon a basement second hand CD and vinyl store. Having not done much research on Estonia prog before venture off into these lands I decided to ask some of the locals for advice, and where better to ask than an underground CD store. Communication was hard by I was eventually able to get across I like more avant-progressive music. And through their kind recommendations I ended up with the band Ne Zhdali.

"NE ZHDALI is a 6-pieces musical band basically located in Tallinn (Estonia). Their undefined style is a combination of different personalities, musical tastes and influences. Their music has amazed people for its enormous optimism in the time of apocalypses ? . On stage they are bursting with wild energy exploring their physical and mental capacities.

They started in 1987. Their original and fresh approach to the music made them popular in the underground Soviet scene. In 1989 they first went to the West where in Holland they recorded their first album (Rhinoceroses ?). Since that time they've played over 15 tours in more then 15 countries of Europe, played festivals in Canada, and toured in Japan, always welcomed with big enthusiasm.

The music of the band is basically and instinctively oriented on expressive rhythmic structures which they call"rhinoceroses" and on small folky tunes coming from everywhere in the world. There are some other things in their music but too hard to define."

If you are interested there is a more indepth explaintion with in the rest of this page.

www.nomansland-records.de/nml/whatever.html

Also people will be able to sanple their music here

nz.tpt.edu.ee/music/Ne%20Zhdali/

See what you think... a more than worthy band for addition in my opinion.

I was just looking through Sean's Belgium Chamber Prog article and noticed the band Fukkeduk was listed but little information on the band, but I would like to recommend them to the people there they are a real treat for those with a RIO mind. The band only produce one album - Ornithozozy, which was unforunately but they sure made it a good one.

"Fukkeduk is other great band Belgian of school R.I.O. /chamber-rock, certainly one of more notables, that it has to the front the violinista Rik Verstrepen, that in very surpasses the noise of its original band, the Cro-Magnon.

Together with X-Legged Sally and Simpletones, others very prolific bands, very give form to one creative family of similar bands in Gent, Belgium.

It was in 1994 that they had recorded its first and only album, Ornithozozy, a great record that, curiously, had as producing Nick Didkovsky, guitarist and one of the main composers of the Doctor Nerve, of New Iorque.

The intermeshing between the band and the producer, occasioned resulted more than what satisfactory, therefore its music is wild, led to the last consequences, primando for an irreproachable execution, quiçá a hybrid between the proper Doctor Nerve and also the Belgian X-Legged Sally.

What he really distinguishes the band from its countrywomen is the energetic way, intense and with a irreverência la Zappa, with whom he executes its short musical workmanships, not making use, at any moment, of subtilities or melodramas.

In this workmanship, what to the times he can seem extravagente and wild, he is lead with great doses of discerning virtuosity, with loaded songs of influêncas folk, with some mysterious elements of jazz, recorded as if partially improvised, as a great orchestra avant prog. Exactly when dived in a complex virtuosity of chamber music, the fury of a moved band of jazz-rock is possible of if feeling all nitidamente the furious violoncelos, sharp violins, heavy guitars and blows in general, without never losing an aiming and sufficiently characteristic style avant exactly for a band who launched a record alone."

Thanks for Ne Zhdali Thumbs Up Will listen to it when I can bring my full attention to it.

Regarding Fukkeduk, I have seen it when we had the Belgian Chamber Prog discussion with Sean and was intrigued but have not had an opportunity to listen to them yet.
I should really stop coming to this thread, because everytime, my wishlist gets bigger and I get depressed by the fact I currently can't buy music. But don't stop on my account LOL

No, no please don't stop coming here

I will try and cut back my recommedations... at least for the rest of today With Fukkeduk I had no indeed what music they played when I first came across them but was amused by the name and was intreged from here on in. A very worthwhile mention.


Also something I was going to ask, is Charles Haywards solo material being considered for the site? I think I heard a mention of this somewhere.

I do know that Sean intends to add Fukkeduk to PA.

Dear friends, may I introduce to you:
 
Stormy Six -  
 
I added this tonight and there are still some details missing, therefore, I am leaving the Asterisk on it, so people will know it ain't finished.
The Bio needs some fixing and most tracks don't have time and one album has relatively no info on it (no tracks and no cover art which for some reason won't upload).
Anyone interested in helping here, please contact me.
Thanks,
Assaf
