Wednesday, December 12, 2007. Crooked fingers - 'red devil dawn'. Don't say a word 3. You can never leave 4. Bad man coming 5. You threw a spark 6. Boy with (100) hands 7. There are sad people, there are broken people and mistreated people, like the mysterious girl whom the boy with (100) hands tries to reach. There's even a bit of creepy menace in the oddly beautiful 'Bad Man Coming'. None of this would matter if the music did not keep these moods, but it does so brilliantly. And he delivers his lines w...

Home of the knave 14. Kristallen den finda 2. Ridom, ridom 3. Northwind' is the fifth album by these Swedes and nothing better to start off this little analysis of it than claiming straight away that this is their best album yet. Last but by no means least, make absolutely sure that you get the double-CD digi...

Tuesday, August 29, 2006. Grey is the way. Harmaa (which, in Finnish, means 'Grey') is an offshot of the better known Finnish band Tenhi. In fact, 'Airut:aamujen' is the follow-up to a saga first started on a Tenhi record, 'Airut:ciwi'. Therefore, the music is not a million miles away from The tenhi sound, the contemplative, quiet melancholy being the prevalent norm in these compositions. Beautiful sparse compositions, an enveloping experience. Posted by José Carlos Santos. Friday, August 25, 2006. Even ...

Thursday, January 08, 2009. And so it begins - Best of 2008, from #100 to #91. 100 iskald - 'revelations of reckoning day'. Iskald - 'A Breath Of Apocalypse'. 99 helms alee - 'night terror'. And that is the secret ingredient that makes all their postrock/Slint-like quietloud parts/occasional sludge/younameit elements come together. It's rock, but with a lot of pop too, the good kind of pop, and a whole lot more besides. Helms Alee - 'Big Spider'. 98 grails - 'take refuge in clean living'. One of the year...

Let's just hope you then go and buy the ones you really like. 60 outlaw order - 'dragging down the enforcer'. 59 made out of babies - 'the ruiner'. 57 khold - 'Hundre år Gammal'.

Wednesday, February 28, 2007. 2 william elliott whitmore - 'song of the blackbird'. My excitement about this record was probably very noticeable back then when I talked about its predecessor 'Ashes To Dust'. And urged everyone to keep an eye out for this one. See, I had reasons. What I think and feel about Will and his music is already quite apparent in that review, so I can spare you all the redundant praise and step straight into 'Song Of The Blackbird'.
