It's been about 8-9 years since I first read of this album (around the time I first explored Portishead's Dummy, Bjork, and other assorted '90s electronica masterworks, but I never gave it a shot in full until now as the South Asian influence scared me off (not for racist reasons, I swear; it just seemed gimmicky). I enjoyed the title track, "Vikram the Vampire", now I'm going through some of the bonus tracks. Also, I can't find the Japanese bonus track, "Wrist Flick", anywhere, not even on file sharing platforms. If I weren't destitute I would indulge my music creep impulses and buy a copy of the Japanese CD to rip.

Still don't know whether this is a hoax or legit but I'm leaning towards legit. It's good! I like that weird new age-tribal-ambient-jazz stuff. Only evidence I've found of this band existing prior to this year is this review from 2001 noting that Ceramic Metropolis album is from 1999. Michael Yoder seems to be legit, but why hasn't any of his music been available anywhere before this year?
Also, I seem to be on an obscure psych pop / early electronic / Italian library kick right now.

Sines Of Exquisite Pleasure - Modular Systems
This seems to have just appeared on the internet last month. It's pretty good. I wonder what other good stuff has been left behind because nobody's taken the initiative to digitize and share it. Or is it another one of those fake reissues of a supposedly lost album that was actually just recorded?
Susumu Hirasawa - Siren
"Nurse Cafe"
Dalis Car - The Waking Hour
Basically everything I loved about Japan: weird synth noises, minimal percussion, and Mick Karn's melodic bass, but with Peter Murphy's vocals (which I like). I didn't realize Dalis Car was like this; I ignored them expecting was some bland flavor of post-punk. The only deficiency, compared to Japan, is its lack of Richard Barbieri.
"Create and Melt"

"Gardener King"
"Ghost Bridge"
Put this off for a while 'cause I thought it was a synthpop album from the '80s. Not that that's bad, just I've heard too much of it. I'm impressed. It reminds me of Taeko Ohnuki's Lucy, specifically because of the percussion. Kind of an epic tribal classical sound. Next up: Siren and probably more P-Model besides Potpourri.

"Fascinator"
"Your Mistress Turns To Dust"
Tocotronic - K.O.O.K.
I wasn't expecting to like this, as I'd heard a few tracks from Wir kommen... and wasn't impressed. It's sort of monotonous, but groovy. Most tracks have pretty much the same rhythm, and that strummed clean guitar, but it's somehow diverse. The title track, "Let There Be Rock", the instrumental "Tag Ohne Schatten" are fun.

All Natural Lemon & Lime Flavors - Turning Into Small
Can't help think of Weird NJ and all the creepy shit that's in the forests near where this band formed. I also can't think of another band from north of Newark that's worthwhile.
All Natural Lemon & Lime Flavors - All Natural Lemon & Lime Flavors
Haven't listened to all of this today, just a few tracks including "Saturn Jig", which is great.
I also listened to Part 1 of Dennis Johnson's November, and it kept reminding me of "W" by Codeine.

Not Drowning, Waving - Claim
"Willow Tree"
"Maroon Rust"
"Yellow Earth"
"Terra Nullius"
"Claim"
When I listened to this for the first time years ago I dismissed it as an example of the boring amalgam they call "world music", albeit more rock/pop-oriented. It's more than that. This is a kind of unclassifiable rock-adjacent creature that is surprisingly nuanced, both musically and in its theme of Australian colonialism. Opener "Willow Tree" is an almost whimsical exploration of outback nostalgia; "Fishing Trawler" is a funky number with watery guitar, thumping piano, and a deep, melodic bassline; "Thomastown" and "Terra Nullius", both piano-led minor-key numbers, are the darkest and loss-ridden Claim gets. Conversely, "Wobble" is so playful as to feature Looney Tunes voices (even if in an ironic way, perhaps), while "Palau" (the only song here one might consider "world music", as it is driven by hand percussion and flutes) has a vigor no other song here matches.
One of Claim's distinctive features is the peculiar depressive murk that seems to pervade it. The ambient closer "Claim" is this mood in pure, distilled form: a traditional Australian sound palette complemented by a dark underside, as if providing a response to the overly optimistic rainsticks and kokopeli-branding of contemporaneous "world" music.

Cranes - Population Four
More straight-up rock than their first two albums. Also, listening to this I realized how romantic a lot of Alison Shaw's lyrics are. I hate to admit that I barely pay attention to the lyrics, but with a voice like that, guitars like that, keyboards like that....

Luke Slater's 7th Plain - My Yellow Wise Rug

Nice voice and harmonies. Kind of a '70s lounge feel to it.
25 October 2022
Depeche Mode - Music For the Masses
I've had their song "Halo" stuck in my head all morning. I like how "Pimpf" is completely stylistically different from the synthpop yet if fits in with the album. Now that I think of it, a lot of DM's stuff from this era has that dramatic quasi-classical flavor.
"The Things You Said"
"Never Let Me Down Again"

After several days, I've finally finished Lycia's The Burning Circle And Then Dust. I enjoyed it, and for such a long album for a band whose style has been pretty consistent between albums, it didn't feel "samey" or repetitive. I liked "Pray", "Resigned", and "The Burning Circle".
μ-Ziq - Brace Yourself
Cranes - Loved
This is good. I forgot how noisy this album is. Some of the guitar is just filthy. "Shining Road" is great, of course, and I like the ominous "Bewildered", the title track, and the spoken word on "Lilies".
22 October 2022
Takagi Masakatsu - Pia
I do like a lot of this album. I just realized this is the guy who made Kagayaki and Eating 2.
21 October 2022
I'm trying to buy everything I like from the artist. I am trying to avoid a dependence on convenient streaming services where I can listen to most anything whenever I want. It's not really an ethical objection to this format so much as a feeling that a complete lack of format-imposed moderation cheapens my listening experience. It's hard to explain. Of course, this would make listening to the thousands of individual songs whose respective albums I don't enjoy as a whole tedious and a waste of money....
20 October 2022
S-Core - Pretension
Heard some of John Lee Hooker's It Serve You Right To Suffer. I dig it.
19 October 2022
It's been about 10 months since I discovered In Excelsior Dayglo by Christmas. This album is insane and it has become one of my all-time favorites.
In late October I am morally obligated to start listening to Lycia and Cocteau Twins. I have also ordered The Cure's Wish off Ebay. Not the new deluxe edition, though, even though I really dig Lost Wishes.
Considering seeing Ichiko Aoba at Union Transfer next week. Junior Boys are gonna be there in February and I'm set on going.

RYM review of UO's Supersonic Storybook:
Around The Supersonic Storybook, Urge Overkill had this strange hard rocker image that seemed to imitate no '70s rock cliché in particular. A photoshoot had Roeser, Kato, and Onassis holding liquor while adorned in velvet jackets and jewelry, while on the cover of the album Kato and Roser grin smugly, effortfully cool, slightly androgynous and vaguely aristocratic.
Though they are directly connected to the Albini-Touch and Go-noise rock-sphere of the early '90s, Urge Overkill don't fit in with that crowd, at least in the eyes of critics and fans of that music. You won't see them mentioned in reviews of Polvo or Cows or Butthole Surfers reviews or listed on noise rock charts. They don't get mentioned alongside The Jesus Lizard or Don Cab or Silkworm. People actually seem to hate them. Even Albini later denounced them (alongside Smashing Pumpkins), calling them posers in so many words, though he would later retract this charge. Perhaps a partial explanation of their reputation is the fact that they were fairly mainstream compared to these other bands, but even having been signed to Geffen and had a song (a Neil Young cover) featured in Pulp Fiction, nobody seems to talk or know about them. I was familiar with Albini's projects and the Touch and Go roster for at least 5 years before I even heard of them. UO weren't exactly indie, weren't exactly cock rockers, but whatever they were, there apparently wasn't a place for it when they were around.
Though musically similar to other Touch and Go bands, UO were far, far removed from these bands in spirit. Someone remarked that they have a KISS attitude, which they certainly do, and if you like dark, gritty, doomy rock by emotionally unstable people, this is a dealbreaker. They weren't complex. Roeser and Kato weren't nervous wrecks and, though they touched on serious topics ("The Candidate", "What is Artane?"), they easily balanced these moments out with stupidity: Nash Kato's ridiculous "announcer" voice leads the call-and-response sections of "The Kids Are Insane" and "Bionic Revolution", making the former song an anthem that is both fitting and unfortunate as the opener; "Today is Blackie's Birthday" is literally a celebration of their then-drummer's birthday, the lyrics either cute or beyond annoying depending on your mood, though there's some sweet guitar parts and a driving rhythm.
The Supersonic Storybook It's a positive album with dumb hard rock riffs, with the occasional dissonance, "angularity", and appreciation of space of the early-'90s noise rock classics. However, it is not intelligent, dark, or artistic, and you may get the impression that their rock image - their attitude - is sincere after all. Kato and Roeser sound at least twice their age. I think they're kind of cool.
