Blood Moon Riders Holy Mountain #914 LP £16.99 New full-length album from this group that have morphed from an avant rock unit into a uniquely ferocious free metal/thug/biker/prog project featuring Adam Kriney (Owl Xounds) on drums, keyboard and flute, Evan Sobel on electric bass, guitar and harmonium and Ninni Morgia. This is their most self-consciously ‘epic’ outing thus far, with King Crimson (Red-era) styled breakdowns, bass riffs and tempo shreds, almost Slayer-esque bombast and doubled electric guitar leads that come straight out of the New Wave Of British Heavy Metal. If you like yr prog with a black Vertigo label, a ton of wail and nods to the daffiest metal then get on board. Comes with free MP3 download. |

The Queen Of Fish Mountain/Illuminated By Stripes Cut Hands CH-042 CD-R + 3” CD-R £8.99 “Another stunning project courtesy of psychfiend Adam Kriney (La Otracina, Dragonfrynd, Owl Xounds). This man does not sleep, nor shouldn’t he. Just like on the Dragonfrynd album there’s no drums on this double album. No guitars either this time. Just miles and miles of tripped out organ jams. Straight lines get transformed into a sprawling, blurry ocean of dubby overtones. Space age slowjams….this must be what shroomheads in love dance to. Sweet. 50 copies in slimline dvd cases with six page booklet and art by Peter Friel.” – CH. |

Teenagers From Mars Mad Monk/Colour Sounds Recordings 006/027 LP £11.99 Brand new limited album (400 copies on coloured vinyl w/stickered sleeve) from Adam Kriney's square-slaying free jazz unit, this time in trio format with Kriney on drums, Gene Janas on upright bass and Mario Rechtern on saxophones. Rechtern has been a long-term presence on the fringes of the US/Euro free scene, playing as a member of Reform Art Unit alongside Sunny Murray and Linda Sharrock and recently guesting with Weasel Walter in his Quartet/Sextet/Trio. The feel here is of fully liberated energy forms, with limbs forced deep into the kinda bastions of freedom associated with a buncha exclusive outside music streams like psych rock, hardcore grunt, primitive field blather and – of course – fire music and beyond. There’s a muscular attack and a commitment to pushing past mere dialogue and interaction that sounds most like Black Flag at their jamminest, while the actual weight of the constituent parts has as much to do with Red-era King Crimson as it does with Sunny Murray’s work with ESP-Disk. I dunno, but it almost feels to me as if post fire music played with a post punk/noise mindset may finally be on the up. So release your grip on your own brain and reconnect yr ass to the cosmos. A split release between Wooden Wand's Mad Monk imprint and Kriney’s Colour Sounds Recordings. Highly recommended. |
