Government Alpha / Grkzgl / Heinz Hopf / Sissisters - Contemporary Harsh Noise Vol. V: Urbanization


The fifth in a series from Skeleton Dust Recordings, released in an edition of 100. Themes surround decadence and decay ("Waste", "Disconnection", "Convenience", "Apathy" and "Materialism" are other titles in the series). This is essentially a four-way split: two cassettes with a ten minute side for each of the four artists. Of particular note are the always excellent Yoshida Yasutoshi (Government Alpha, from Japan) and Swedish trio Matthias Andersson, Dan Johansson and Erik Nystrand (Heinz Hopf), one of the most interesting active harsh noise acts out of Scandinavia at the moment.

A. Government Alpha - Cell Congestion
B. Grkzgl - Invasion Of The Condo Snatchers
C. Heinz Hopf - Pentrera Amerika
D. Sissisters - Trust Exercise

Mo・Te - Dusky Drunkard


A more recent release from Fumiyuki Nagura's solo project. The noise here manages to match its themes well; the sense of cold desperation instilled by the combination of title and album cover is amplified by the strung out screaming vocal performance of "Darkly Light", then dropped into a hedonistic hellworld in "Opium Punch", which matches its titles perfectly with blurry, minor key synth work rolling under screeching, phaser-drenched feedback (Prurient's "Cocaine Death" comes to mind). This was released in 2015 on the Japanese label 16 Shots Per Second, which has released a slew of good Japanoise from 2014 up until last year, including releases from Kazumoto Endo (as Killer Bug and under his own name) and Kusafuka Kimihide (K2) as well as Nagura.

Dust-to-Digital - Goodbye, Babylon


A massive and definitive collection of early 20th century American gospel music. Housed in a wooden box with a 200-page booklet featuring photographs of artists, Bible verses and complete lyric transcriptions, this compilation represents a serious effort to document the religious musical heritage of north America in the era that proceeded the long playing record (probably one of the best since Harry Smith's Anthology of American Folk Music, or Alan Lomax's Southern Journey series, although the focus of those collections was not exclusively on gospel music). Featuring many names you would expect to find, such as Blind Lemon Jefferson, Washington Phillips, The Carter Family, Bascom Lamar Lunsford and, of course, Blind Willie Johnson, as well as many rare and underappreciated gems, almost forgotten to time.

Kevin Drumm - 240412


Recorded at the Cafe OTO in London in April 2012 and released on their web label in 2015. The premise is simple but very effective: oscillating drones of feedback alternately layering on top of one another, raising to shrieks and dropping to driving bass tones, peppered with clean chirps and marked by harsh, dirty distortion.

Antonín Dvořák / Leoš Janáček / George Enescu - Serenade; Mládí; Dixtuor


"The Wind Serenade dates from 1878, just two years before his sunny Sixth Symphony with which it shares many of its qualities. The work opens with a march suggesting all the pomp of the local village bands that Dvořák knew so well. This is followed by a Minuetto, a title that betrays the homage to the rococo wind serenade and to Mozart, although the piece owes as much to a triple time Bohemian folk-dance as it does to the classical court dance A flowing Andante makes up the third movement before the Allegro molto finale rounds off the work with a return to the opening theme. [...]

"If Dvořák's Serenade reflects the elegance of the rococo genre, then it is easy to see the influence of Bach in Enescu's Dixtuor. The three movements are scored for ten wind instruments as is the Dvořák but there is a more international feeling about the music despite a nod to the pipes of the composer's native Romania in the final part. The Dixtuor received its first performance in Paris in 1906. [...]

"One of the products of [Janáček's] genuinely new-found youth was the wind sextet Mládí (Youth) written for his own seventieth birthday in July 1924, only four years before his death, The piece is consciously based on the composer's own youth when he was a chorister in Brno and pupil of Pavel Křížkovský and in the third movement, Vivace, it quotes from his March of the Blue Boys. The Moravian folk melodies of the work's four movements come from the area of Janáček's birth and have a melodic quality not found in all of the composer's music. Beginning with an Allegro in Rondo form, there follows a slow movement theme and variations in D flat. Then comes the Blue Boys March with its echoes of the composer's own youth and finally the Allegro animato returns to the opening themes of the work." (David Doughty. From the liner notes.)

Âmes Sanglantes - Mega Star Barbies


Self-released 2006 tape from Pierre-Marc Tremblay. Themes appear to surround sex exploitation and deceptive myths of glitz and glamour. Musically fairly sparse noise/P.E. with some great vocal efforts; sounds like a live performance without much in the way of overdubbing.

Incapacitants & Two Assistant Deputy Ministers - Stocks & Bonds


Collaboration/split between Japanoise titans Incapcitants and one Jason Kushnir, recording as Two Assistant Deputy Ministers. The elusive Kushnir makes noise in the Japanese style and mainly with Japanese musicians (Incapacitants, Cracksteel, Mo・Te, Government Alpha), although he released on the classic American label Harshnoise in 2005, and apparently recorded with Macronympha as recently as 2017 (if anyone can find this or this, let me know). This is an excellent CD, playing on the insane salaryman motifs of Kosakai and Mikawa. Incapacitants open proceedings with a strong performance driven by their always impressive vocal performances (and even some drum improv); this is followed by a short collaborative effort under the ad-hoc moniker Two Assistant Deputy Mikawa, then Kushnir rounds the album off with another 30 or so minutes of frenzied noise.

3. Two Assistant Deputy Mikawa - Fiscal Restraint

Pain Jerk - Neurotten


Another 1990s Kohei Gomi cassete, this time on the label of the late Marco Cabelli (Atrax Morgue). The assault here is very high-end heavy: relentlessly aggressive. The sound severs and bleeds more than it beats and bludgeons. The 80 cassette run was packaged in a printed tin foil A5 sleeve (slightly similar to Fumiyuki Nagara's Taste Die Mad, posted below) and sadly has not been reissued.

The Rita & The Cherry Point - Breast Mutilation


Two of the progenitors of the contemporary harsh noise wall style collaborate. An immense, turbo-charged wall of sound that carves a destructive ever-growing, ever-changing path over 20 minutes. Released in 2006 on Troniks, the US-based label of Phil Blankenship (The Cherry Point).

Red Garland - Soul Junction


"There's no grunting or pounding the blues into soul-for-sale music. This is simply unpretentious blues, the common jazz language, carried on through the decades by thousands of players", Nat Hentoff writes of Garland's playing on the title track in the liner notes of this album. He goes on: "Red gets a 'sound' from the piano that's refreshing and thoroughly pianistic. He's not one of the drummer-pianists." Certainly, we do hear the understated brilliance of Red Garland in top form here, rounded out by an excellent group. John Coltrane's blisteringly fluent and intricate playing is what land's this date a place in the history books, but Donald Byrd was of course in top form as a young hard bop player in 1957, and the combination of the stalwart George Joyner with the "steadiest and most swinging" (Garland's words) drums of Art Taylor lifts this music far beyond the ordinary.

Performers: Red Garland (pi), Donald Byrd (tp), John Coltrane (t-sx), George Joyner (bs), Art Taylor (dr)

Red Garland - Moodsville Volume 6


Another of several fine recordings by Red Garland on the Moodsville label, this time with his trio (Volume 3, featuring solo ballads, can be found below). Paul Chambers and Art Taylor are certainly a winning combination anywhere, but with Garland they are truly at home. The interplay is as incredible to listen to as it is seamless, accenting the cool flourishes and complex, pained melancholy of the pianist's playing. 

Performers: Red Garland (pi), Paul Chambers (bs), Art Taylor (dr)

Billie Holiday - Music For Torching


Another excellent Billie Holiday LP. This has been very well remastered and sounds excellent; from John Simmons' rounded bass tone, to Barney Kessel's wonderfully mellow guitar tone (listen to the opening notes of "I Don't Want to Cry Anymore"), to Benny Carter's masterful saxophone licks sounding just over Billie's shoulder. Oscar Peterson is absent from the piano chair (replaced by Jimmy Rowles, as is Charlie Shavers replaced by the more adept Harry Edison), but the result is a much looser, more jam session feeling than Solitude (posted below), even if the renditions seem less complete and definitive. 

Performers: Billie Holiday (vo), Harry Edison (tp), Benny Carter (a-sx), Barney Kessel (gt), Jimmy Rowles (pi), John Simmons (bs), Larry Bunker (dr)

Richie Kamuca - Drop Me Off In Harlem


A letter session from tenorman Richie Kamuca. Off the mark, the most distinctive thing here is the lack of a drummer; Kamuca plays with a rhythm section of Herb Ellis's wonderful acoustic guitar (think Django Reinhardt), Ray Brown's pedigreed bass and Dave Frishberg's piano. Apart from Kamuca's wonderful breathy, brassy sax tone (which is recorded excellently), the presence of be-bop veterans Ellis and Brown makes this an outing to savour. The closest comparison might be the stripped down, collective improvisation feeling of Jimmy Giuffre's "Trav'lin' Light", but with a much more traditional aim. And it has never been reissued. For shame.

Performers: Richie Kamuca (t-sx) Herb Ellis (gt), Dave Frishberg (pi), Ray Brown (bs)
