Manipulation Under Anesthesia

Jaga Jazzist - One-Armed Bandit


A distance of five years since he published his last studio album, the Norwegian collective Jaga Jazzist just returned with another anthology along their backs. One-Armed Bandit is opera through which Jaga Jazzist aims to provide new and multiple forms to all the benefits and displayed in What We Must , so you should tip more fully to be explored .. .
As is well known, Jaga Jazzist those brought from its principles the habit of showing new edges each time you take to the streets for a job, why, and with fifteen years of existence, it is believed that still have not lost the knack, for his new release is no exception. In this respect, months before the actual Horntveth Lars, one of the heads of training, had reported that One-Armed Bandit would appear like a cross between Richard Wagner and they were Fela Cuti , that which not a few began to stray aiming to elucidate how such a link might sound unprecedented in the annals of music. Unlike
What We Must , in One-Armed Bandit show a marked departure from the post-rock so well that had exhibited, and this can be seen in the fact that the guitars are no longer in the foreground but rationalizing small appearances efectivitas throughout the entire album, giving rise to the academic section acquires greater significance. And, although both the jazz background with two batteries based on synchronous and exquisite orchestrations are ubiquitous as before, it is clear that the latter have been brought to its fullest, and in a manner that at times resemble gain center stage. However, as it is evident that a priori not show significant changes with regard to the structures of the compositions, and therefore must ask: at what time the artist was referring to talk of a cross between Wagner and Cuti ? Lars
Horntveth no trace of a man tried to be pompous or just interesting with his sentence, but put back-the crux of the issue clearly and concisely. Jaga Jazzist has collected Wagnerian drama and rhythmic exuberance Cuti in one album, laying it all on his own imprint avant-garde. The huge orchestrations, that most of often seem to me like that retro bands of old movies will sound police realize a dramatic counterpoint rich in nuances and idiosyncrasies of all, the rhythm sections and the abundance of jazz and funk, thrilling crave the same as those that derive Fela Cuti, and the rest unfolds itself with the addition of the various flashes offered by synthesizers and other hints for the electronic programming than ordinarily tend to complete the works of Jaga Jazzist . Thus, combining his personal vision with inspiration provided by the immortals Wagner and Cuti, this sort of contemporary big band has acted as a synergy between sounds at first unrelated, which only from their deft hands became in the form of a new and unique representation. Through this subtle twist, the Norwegians show once again why the project carried out fifteen years ago is still considered one of the most revealing of recent times, as the years pass and Jaga Jazzist continues to deliver fresh material as if indeed his inspiration was endless. In short, let us leave aside my attempts to exalt retracted what nature has to stand by itself, it only remains to say that from the start, One-Armed Bandit should be available within the most wonderful albums of 2010, even beyond the always inadequate and the perpetual cloud disparity of taste ...

The Album Leaf - A Chorus of Storytellers


Just starting in 2010 it was seeping into the network during the fifth The Album Leaf, which is none other than the celebrated multi-instrumentalist solo project of Jimmy LaValle U.S.. Titled A Chorus of Storytellers , the new album Jimmy is the work of three hard years, which were even divided up in various stages of gestation, which in turn took place in different parts of the globe. And in view of the great effort put into this album, go to clarify why this is because this year The Album Leaf is arriving at its first decade of operation, which is why some time ago came plotting Jimmy the plot of a long duration, time to present it, would be at the level of events.
In principle, Jimmy began to outline all on its own account, under the same modus operandi which has resulted in their entire discography as The Album Leaf. However, in the end the artist quoted other musicians from the American indie scene with encouragement to continue working in your company, so that, for the first time, this would be an album of The Album Leaf made by a band proper. But it does not end there, because once the material had taken shape, officials moved him to Iceland, where the mood to lend a hand in the final arrangements were expecting nothing more and nothing less than Birgir Jón Birgisson , ie the man who has been behind projects such as commendable Sigur Rós , Mugison , Amiina and many others. Under the
pointed out, is now possible to understand how it The Album Leaf came with an album so singular in beauty and deep emotions ... And is that while A Chorus of Storytellers can boast the same features that have always excelled in the music of Jimmy , it is also clear that he perceives some aspect of Icelandic background, which can only embellish all their songs. In this regard, one could say that parts are not exempt from carefree as There Is A Wind , Until The Last or We Are realize what could have been concocted in the U.S. under the prevailing trends in that country while other sorrowful but delicate as Dreams Within , Falling From The Sun, Stand Still or Summer Fog-craving essentially come from a feeling of Iceland. In short, it is said that A Chorus of Storytellers has it all under the largest of the expressions in terms of the qualitative concerns, some of his tracks are able to invite more unfettered dance without thereby losing refinement, while others are awarded intimate and precious traces thereby encouraging the contemplation replete with colorful ...

What Is The Best Thing To Paint With

Electric President - The Violent Blue


We already had the opportunity to listen to Electric President , as mediating the last year we listened to Sleep Well, what was his second studio album. By then, the U.S. pair was offered a job that, under a trace look childish but exquisite in its simplicity, was able to turn around several delusions engendered by a gloomy vigilance. Now, after a few months now since that album, Ben Cooper and Alex Kane just returned to The Violent Blue, which is none other than his third effort in long format.
In The Violent Blue the pair have become cumbersome to enter on land, neither more nor less than the same as it did in its earlier opera, for once again became his music of hallucinations in store for random times. Without going any further, suffice it to say that many of the tracks included on the new album are originally expensive B Results of Sleep Well, and therefore, issues that were addressed in the issues that once again story again. However, both parts had already been made and which were then drawn in order to finalize the tracklist of The Violent Blue , show perfectly related to each other or even agree to disclose to the duo in a more organic plan ordinarily as if before acoustic improvisation towered above the electronic presence, now it has become much more evident. Moreover, one can not say that those of Electric President continue unchanged in its mark, although a priori because their songs are very much looking like being simple, are nonetheless of giving encouragement to the enormous flood of depth who demonstrate emotional ...

Intima - Revolver Club (Full album)

Upon
in 2009 we had sent in advance as part of the same name Revolver Club, the third effort in long format Intima. Now, at a distance of a few months after the official publication of the album by Argentina, from this Suite believe, saved and the hype it generated, it is time to share with all those who have not yet had the opportunity of listening ...
Revolver Club not only won the senses of all clubbers, but also knew how to stir up the press in Argentina, several national journalists stopped their antennae and made unbelievable eloquence expenses talking about it, displaying even new heights in its tiresome prose. And, recorded ten years in the career of Intima finally journalistic machinery seems to have come to realize that the Carlos Solá , Sebastian Cohn and Salvador Reynoso is one of the few bands national, peacefully, may be unfolding anywhere in the globe as if such a thing, so from time to time deserves all the attention rests in it.
The invaluable contributions made by artists from outside the musical vanguard Diego Baus, Christian Aldana, Richard Coleman , or Daniel Melero Ignacio De Lamadrid , among others, gave inspiration to the boys of Lingerie opening up new prospects for production, as this was a clearly evident on the album. On the other hand, however, that the leadership of an unpublished Diego Vainer not go unnoticed, especially since it was taken as those of Intima got concoct national electronic opera cardinal 2009 ; a thriving collection of twelve tracks that cross his path had all the atmosphere required by the senses nature incurred in the most demanding rock spirit breakbeat, drum and bass dye dreamy, house and electro dance leading to acid and casual all this and more in one album, again halfway between the artificial electronic and organic mark is a band. Undoubtedly, once discovered the abundant benefits of Revolver Club, you can not highlight or even one particular issue, since all records are displayed in different, although always under the trace only Lingerie can be delineated.
For all these reasons and other reasons that are in the pipeline, there is no point other than the third over Lingerie was the 2009 Argentine DISC ... Moreover, it remains to be hoped that these troubled kids stand firm on his own and, at any moment, return to the forays with other work at hand ...
