 ANDRE AFRAM ASMARRace to The Bottom (MUSH MH216) CD/2xLP Released the week of February 10th, 2003 order from Midheaven mailorder Andre Afram Asmar has crafted a masterwork of organic, dub-influenced downtempo with over twenty guest artists and vocalists including Scientist, Elias, and Israel, from countries in Latin America, the Middle East, Africa, and the Caribbean. Over a year in the making, racetothebottom is an ambitious project that uses live instruments as the base for each track, and then accentuates them with samples, electronics, and computer manipulation. Rooted in non-violence, the search for common ground, and support for the world's oppressed, racetothebottom is meant to be a soundtrack to life. Asmar combines seemingly disparate styles in a single track-- Middle Eastern vocals over Jamaican dub, Brazilian rhythms over Western electronics, for example-- to accentuate the harmony created, and to focus on beauty found in cultures so often viewed in a negative light.

"The third Angels of Light album started innocently enough, with the intention of collecting well-written songs performed by the musicians who played them live for the last few years, with the addition of a few acoustic songs, lightly colored. Instead, every available molecule of the recording tape wound up saturated with sound; I then hacked, cut, and poured sonic fertilizer and salt on the resultant wounds. It finally metastasized into a raging, weeping beast that slowly bit off my head, leaving this album behind as evidence. "Some songs might be construed as sad or poignant, and others "rock" in a weird, skewed way, sometimes subtle, sometimes excessive. I think I've managed to sort through the chaos, letting the songs discover themselves. It's densely orchestrated in some places, sparse in others. The instrumentation is all over the place, initially built up from my acoustic guitar and voice, then incorporating everything from electronic noise, to banjo and mandolin, bass-drums-electric guitar, (open-tuned) lap steel guitar, vibraphones and marimbas, accordion, fiddles, flutes (yes, flutes), the dreaded children's choir, layered vocal harmonies, drones acquired from various organic sources, piano and Fender Rhodes, trumpet and trombone. It is much, much different than the first two Angels albums. A few friends say it's a "breakthrough" or some such thing, but believe me, the thing controlled me, I did not control it. "Where does it fit in the current musical environment? Nowhere, I'm sure. It's a gift for the befuddled, the rancorous, the deluded, the chosen, the failed and the insane, the crazed and misguided, the spiritual seekers, the hungry, the numb, the inveterately passive, the secretly angry over-achievers, the blandly normal, the well-primed consumers, and the mildly, distracted curious." 30-second RealAudio excerpts: Palisades Released the week of February 10th, 2003 order from Midheaven mailorder
Mickey Baker is best known as one half of Mickey & Sylvia, but his track record for incredible guitar work on countless '50s R&B cuts (many for Atlantic) is what makes The Wildest Guitar, his first and only solo album, so desirable among collectors. Despite Baker's well deserved reputation as one of the most influential guitar players of early rock'n'roll, The Wildest Guitar is one of the few chances he really gets to strut his stuff as a solo artist. This entirely instrumental set features keening, sharp, bluesy riffs in much the same distinctive style that gained him fame on "Love Is Strange" and other tunes with Mickey & Sylvia. The choice of material, though, is a bit surprising, favoring some oddball standards: "Third Man Theme," "Autumn Leaves," "Lullaby of the Leaves," and Cole Porter's "Night and Day." Baker (who also arranged the album) invests all of these with a snazzy R&B feel and biting solos. And he does actually write four of the twelve tunes himself, on which he fashions the kind of straightforward R&B that one would be more likely to expect. This is an amazing showcase to hear Baker's unadorned virtuosity. The cover photo alone is proof enough that Mickey Baker was indeed a major musical force to be reckoned with.

The second CD by this SW Virginia area trio is firmly planted in Old-Time Appalachian tradition, but concentrates mostly on original material. Standing out in particular is "Floyd Allen," Ralph Berrier Jr.'s masterful retelling of an area tragedy with a sweet and unexpected major/minor chorus change-up. Mike Gangloff's lengthy and elegiac instrumental "This War Is Killing Me" glides along on a sad melody passed around between resonator guitar, cello and fiddle. Many tracks are anchored by Gangloff's unusual gut-string baritone banjo. Two solo instrumentals on the CD add balance between the vocal numbers-- Isak Howell's "Have You Been To Alabama?" is a subtle fingerpicked workout, while Gangloff's "Ironto Special" is a considerably more exotic-sounding modal construction on the big banjo. Elsewhere, there's an upbeat essay of "Pallet On The Floor," a relation to "Poor Boy Long Ways From Home," which appeared on the group's debut North Fork Flyer CD. Among the traditional numbers, none is more striking than the group's charging and rough treatment of "Oh Death," with Gangloff and Berrier spitting out the call-and-response vocal which gives the album its title.

Anyone familiar with Sam Coomes-- the mad scientist behind Quasi with an uncanny knack for creating twisted musical gems-- will welcome his first solo effort, an album of cover versions of classic, early to mid-20th century blues songs by Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, Skip James and Memphis Minnie, among others. Blues Goblins is performed in a rough, psychedelic and experimental blues-rock style, with a guest appearance by saxophonist Stanley Zappa. The music is loose, loud, sometimes frightening, but always passionate. Not unlike early Meat Puppets french-kissing Can while Lou Barlow watches and listens from the corner.
This is the first in a series of proposed Blues Goblins records (including a rumored take on a complete Beethoven symphony) that should give fans of Quasi's beautifully twisted musical vision a rare second helping. Blues Goblins have performed on the USA west coast and finished dates with Jonathan Richman.

The Bug & DJ /Rupture have declared turf war. In a volatile face-off between two kinetically charged contemporary electronics producers, this combination mash up, dancehall destruction, hip hop malfunktion and structural deconstruction assures a suitably intense future for soundclash battles. A thinly disguised audio abattoir masquerading as a six-track EP, this explosive exchange steals the tools of the dub and dancehall trade for maximum disorientation. Weapons are set to stun, and artificial genre divides are militantly blitzed.
"Imitator," a caustic collaboration by The Bug (aka Kevin Martin of Techno Animal) with UK dub guru The Rootsman that triggers yardcore chaos with hyper-ragga headrush, combines a relentless, military snare roll worthy of the mighty Streetsweeper rhythm, power electronics capable of drowning out Whitehouse, and an unfeasibly elasticated bassline that would rival Mr. Oizo for booty-swinging funk. It's got serrated, low-end punch and Daddy Freddy's homicidal chants, while head-jamming special effects and ear-shredding sirens amplify the panic attack. The stripped down "Version" illuminates the dance floor directive while the Raw Meat mix of "Run The Place Red" has Daddy Freddy at his most vicious and hardcore.
DJ /Rupture returns with three tracks as complex and compelling as his jaw-dropping DJ sets. "Paloma Grease" is a high-speed headbanger in his ruffneck reggae / R&B style. Electro sub-bass weaves around his infectious, danceable drum programming, with hip-hop breakdowns and light instrumentation rounding things. "Into the Ohio River" and "Pitfall" feature poet Elizabeth Alexander, a prominent young voice in black America's energetic literary scene, whose topical, playful texts match the former track's slinky, harmonic polyriddims and melodic IDM edits fused with Rupture's otherworldly sampler arrangements. The latter draws on the bass-heavy Jamaican minimalism of King Tubby's Firehouse-era productions, catching Rupture in a relaxed but wary down-tempo mood, perfect for fans of neo-dub such as Chain Reaction/Rhythm & Sound. Alexander injects sexy wit with her poem loosely about the M.O.V.E. incident in Philadelphia.

According to Paul Lemos, an original member of the NY-based experimental/industrial group Controlled Bleeding, his new Breast Fed Yak project "ha[s] completely put aside all electronics on these new recordings [and have gone] back to something much more primal...." Indeed: imagine a naked, 350-pound superhero scatting like Ella Fitzgerald having an epileptic fit (longtime Controlled Bleeding collaborator Joe Papa) backed by a band of Plutonians (Lemos and Yoshida Tatsuya of Ruins) who challenge their instruments to defy the electricity coming out of their 50,000 fingertips. With influences that include Ennio Morricone, Albert Ayler, Captain Beefheart, Sun Ra, and spy movie themes, Get Your Greasy Head Off The Sham mocks classification that terms such as "soul-pain," "dis-funk," and "Sunset Stripped R&B spasmcore" try to capture. With guest appearances by Hakan Almkvist (of Ensemble Nimbus fame) on sitar and The Holy Trinity High School Detention Choir, this music on this album, according to Birdman, will kill you, although not without saving you the last dance at your funeral.
Biographical info
Paul Lemos's work in Controlled Bleeding leans toward classical structure yet still retains a surrealist texture with an embrace of feedback, noise, and groundbreaking recording techniques. Lemos is also known as a respected compiler of tracks for industrial/ experimental music compilation series Dry Lungs-- essential listening for anyone interested in the different and unconventional.
A member of Controlled Bleeding since the mid-'80s, Joe Papa brought a ethereal/gothic vibe to the band. In 1998 he was a Long Island Music Awards nominee for best male vocalist on an indie label. For Get Your Greasy Head Off The Sham, he poses inside the CD book as a thumb-sucking adult baby; an attached birth announcement reveals all sorts of little known biographical details, such as his full name, birth weight, ambitions, turn-ons (which include "acorn sculpture"), turn-offs, personal philosophy, personal fantasy ("to make love on top of the Eiffel Tower, covered in mint jelly"), and so on.
Yoshida Tatsuya is the brainchild behind legendary Japanese rhythm-section duo Ruins, a band he formed in 1985 who have continually astonished many for their dense fusion of hardcore energy, prog-rock theatrics and free-improv virtuosity. He recently appeared on Controlled Bleeding's Can You Smell the Rain Between album (released by Tone Casualties), from which the opening track on Get Your Greasy Head Off The Sham is a remix.

Busdriver and Radioinactive as The Weather have created, along with producer extraordinaire Daedelus, a million-word-a-minute marathon ("The Weather will talk your head off") of inside jokes, twisted narratives and abusive free-association backed with blip-hop beats assembled from samples of children's toys, a century's worth of recorded music, and other unearthed sounds, all daftly computer-twisted to optimum effect. The release combines the distinct talents and trademark styles of three individuals to create a sound all its own: left-field and envelope pushing, but still grounded in solid writing, well crafted music, and perfect execution that seems effortless.

The Clone Defects have come crashing out of the current Detroit rock'n'roll scene like a comet penetrating the Earth's atmosphere. Lead by wildman-about-town Tim Vulgar, The Clone Defects have earned quite a reputation over the last several years for their no-holds-barred live shows and their uncompromising recordings. The Clone Defects are rock'n'roll to the core: foul-mouthed, dirty, alcohol-fueled aggression that rightfully blasts out of the hi-fi at a pill party. They've released three singles (the first of which was recorded and produced by White Stripes' Jack White) and one album-- monoliths of pure rock action all. On Shapes Of Venus, they continue to blaze the same trail as their previous releases with even sharper songwriting skills. The sound is a biting mix of glam rock, Killed-By-Death-style punk, and some natural born midwest insanity. Some bands go out of their way to act weird, wild and fucked up, whereas the Clone Defects can't help it. This is the real article.

Combining equally strong elements of laptop production, heartfelt vocals, and non-traditional songwriting, Come Here When You Sleepwalk is the extraordinary new release from Australian musician Mark Mitchell. Featuring both down- and uptempo tracks, the release's strengths are its ever-morphing melodies, keyboard lines, and drum machine patterns, and understated vocals that never use more words or volume than necessary to set their mood. At first glance, the lyrics seem simple, yet they cut to the heart of their topic with precision. Damaged personalities, wounded relationships and underlying hope saturate tracks on a release that should establish Clue to Kalo as one of the finest songwriters and producers working in electronic music today.

Along with his brother Joseph Nothing and artists like Bisk and Nobekuza Takemura, Com.a (aka Age Yoshida (pronounced "ah-geh")), is one of the first and most inventive Japanese electronica / IDM musicians. Hailed by many as the Japanese equivalent to groundbreaking UK artists like Aphex Twin and Squarepusher, Com.a is sounding the war-cry as the leader of a laptop gang all over Japan. Born in England but raised in Hong Kong and New Jersey and now residing in Tokyo, Japan, Age started ROM=PARI when he was only 18 with Joseph Nothing (Planet-Mu); the duo released two critically acclaimed records of highly inventive and abstract drill and bass on the Belgium label SubRosa. After two full tours with AsianDubFoundation and AudioActive, ROM=PARI broke up and Age gave birth to his solo project under the alias Com.a (pronounced "coma," named after a much-loved Japanese candy). After many compilation appearances and foundation-building releases (such as a split 12-inch on Fat Cat's classic split series), endless internet trading of his tracks (which were also popping up on DJ mixes and playlists worldwide), and featured slots on Skam's mysterious and seminal "Disengage" radio shows, Age founded the Notek Rec label and in January 2001, released Com.a's debut album DreamAndHope and the follow up remix album We Are The Pervert.

Steven Wray Lobdell's guitar playing discovers colors and shapes at extreme volume levels. Astonished audiences have also found that Mr. Lobdell can call up each sound used in his myriad innovative recordings and exercises a control over them that is preternatural.
Code Orange is a live collage from the Davis Redford Triad's Spring 2002 tour. The band played a variety of material from both of their Holy Mountain albums plus rocked-out electric versions of material from Mr. Lobdell's sublime solo album, Automatic Writing by the Moon. In addition, there are three new songs, "Mellowed for Over 80 Million Years," "Loop 03," and the title track of their upcoming studio album Blue Cloud.

Recorded in Auckland, New Zealand on four-track reel-to-reel by Chris Knox (Tall Dwarfs), and originally released on Flying Nun Records in 1982, In a Hole captures The Fall in fine, tight and edgy form, playing tracks from the Hex Enduction Hour and Room To Live albums, as well as a few tracks that would later be released as singles and oldies. It is still considered to be the definitive live Fall album, both in quality of recording, performance and material. It is the final recording with the era's line-up, as Marc Riley was sacked as soon as the band returned to England. In a Hole originally came with a free 12-inch; this re-mastered, updated version comes with the extra tracks from that 12-inch, plus six others recorded elsewhere on the same New Zealand tour.

From outta Dallas, Texas, comes this new psycho four-piece ready to rip you a new aural a-hole. They swiped their name from a berserk novel by Harry Crews and match the insanity of that book with grimy ass-shakin' swagger, spats of slide guitar, and the odd pained outburst of screaming distortion. Think the noisiest and most overwrought moments from Birthday Party, The Scientists and Black Flag. Alex Cuervo's name should be familiar to In The Red aficionados; he was in Blacktop and the King Sound Quartet, and is currently in the Gospel Swingers and Now Time Delegation. James Arthur was in Fireworks and the Necessary Evils. Together in Feast of Snakes they've found a means to channel what is, apparently, their abundant supply of angst and rage. They've already released one vinyl seven-inch EP in Australia (long out of print), which they're following up with this limited edition, 8-song vinyl-only pressing on In The Red. Watch for the band's west coast tour in May 2003.

The brand new inner city folk blues. Campfire music for the third millennium. Beach tunes for young winos and veteran freight hoppers. Light some candles, dim the lights, pour yourself a tall one. Sit on a stoop. Pet dogs. Play basketball. It's Always Been There is the debut album from Gresham, a long-awaited follow-up to 1999's critically acclaimed "Far From Under" 12-inch (out of print).
Eleven powerful songs from the heart and soul, deceptively simple, instantly endearing, featuring a who's-who of the incestuous SF music scene: jackass-about-town and pro-skateboarding legend Tommy Guerrero (MoWax, Galaxia, Function 8) on bass and guitar; Tim DeGaugh (Jet Black Crayon) on drums; Arthur Liboon (ex-Mordred) on bass; Sam Bass (Deadweight) on cello; Gregg Galbreathe on Rhodes; Rich Millman (Zen Guerilla) on guitar; and label chief Gadget on production, drums, programming and scratches.
A twenty-something cat singing with a vulnerable intensity like he's a thousand years years old, Gresham is a holy fool. A Persian cowboy flying high across the West on a Sleek Yellow Dolphin, commanding stages big and small with the arresting presence of Abe Vigoda channeling Janis Joplin with a dash of Jello Biafra. God love him. Born in Los Angeles to a typical American family of foreigners, weaned on Iranian dinners, Irish culture and Sunset Strip Rock & Roll. He was lured to San Francisco by rumors of blatant debauchery and full moon dance parties on the beaches above Santa Cruz. Think RZA meets Bon Scott at Reggae on the River, with guitars. Well, the new millennium is here, the Holy Fool has finally made good in the studio, and here he comes. Get ready for the high madness in your ear holes and the Amazing Flying Dolphin Circus, coming to your plateau soon.

30-second RealAudio excerpts: The Defender Released the week of February 10th, 2003 order from Midheaven mailorder
The earnest, melancholy folk of singer/songwriter Patrick Park has been quietly turning heads here and abroad, thanks to opening spots on shows with Beth Orton and Gomez, among others, and favorable reviews in the British press. His delicate, soaring tenor harkens back to '70s predecessors John Denver and Gram Parsons.
Raised in Colorado but currently based in Los Angeles, Patrick Park could have been just another punk rocker turned folk balladeer waiting for a break. But a chance meeting with acclaimed producer Dave Trumfio (Wilco, My Morning Jacket) yielded recordings that would end up on his first mini-album, Under Unminding Skies, which also features one song engineered by Anna Waronker (That Dog) and Steve McDonald (Redd Kross), and a cover of The Zombies' Colin Blunstone's solo cut "Caroline Goodbye." Currently receiving extensive airplay on KCRW and featured on AOL Spinner as a "New Groundbreaker Artist of the Week," Park is currently working on a full-length album to be released Summer 2003.
Gorgeous country-tinged, Nick Drake-sparse folky songs about missed love and opportunities.-L.A. New Times
Take the astro-gliding slickness of John Denver, the cross-genre ingenuity of Wilco's Jeff Tweedy and the fashion sense of the Silverlake retropolis and you've only begun to glimpse into the world of Patrick Park. -LA Weekly
Park comes from a similarly lyrical school of alt.country songwriting as Ryan Adams. -NME

When Jason Lakis's last musical outfit, the acclaimed Bay Area band Half Film, parted ways, he did what any self-respecting musician does after a break up-- he holed himself up in his house and emerged six months later with an album's worth of songs. The debut album from The Red Thread, After the Last, is what happened when Jason took his finely crafted tunes to his friends from San Francisco-based band The Inspectors, and came back with a musical offering of slow-burning beauty with a sprinkling of countrified charm.
At the nucleus of their sound is the integration of whimsical spaghetti-western guitar licks, driving stop-start rhythms, and wistful, somber vocals that croon like a weathered cowboy who's seen too many rodeos. In other words, a little bit Calexico, a little bit Spoon, a little bit rock'n'roll. This full length album includes an almost unrecognizable, pedal-steel-infused cover of Bad Brains' "Sailin' On."
Currently playing live in the Bay Area, The Red Thread will embark on a national tour following the release of After The Last in February 2003.

Finished immediately after his first European tour headlining and opening for the likes of Kid606 and the legendary Thomas Brinkmann, this is the soundtrack for a bad night out, including bad attitude, bad judgement, social incompetence, desperation, embarrassment, and unmotivated bursts of exaggerated emotions. Hmmm, resembles a typical Monday morning at Revolver/Midheaven...
Musically, Sodahberk can't decide if he's a punk rocker or an electronica geek or an indie-pop nerd - you gotcher walls of guitar in the opening song, a sassy electro title track (featuring on vocals Maria Eilersen from Swedish indie-electropunk band Revlon9), thick and down-tempo hip-hop beats on "What You Waited For" (with vocals by Dwayne), sentimental pop in "Yeah, You," the V12-engined, unstoppable, four-to-the-floor "Forever," and the hysterical closing track.
The CD version includes tracks previously available only on vinyl-- three from the Unsound EP on Sodahberk's Stuporsonika label, as well as the techno-pop anthem "I_Skatr" from the E.Pr.Disco 12-inch made with Stuporsonika labelmate Janosh Brando for Swayzak's Voltmusik label. Expect to see Dwayne Sodahberk bringing his unique, noisy and often beautiful live set on the 2003 Tigerbeat6 world tour, various remixes, a collaborative record with Swedish electronica pioneer Ralph Lundsten, and a follow-up full length album on Tigerbeat6 some time in the summer.
