Rogue Wave

You never know about cover projects........the ones made by team GBFAL are always aces, and some commercial ones are ok, yet some suck hard core.......on this one Rogue Wave takes on a variety of 80's music.....listening to them right now take on "Rescue" from Echo & the Bunnymen, it's a good version, and there are lots more 80's nuggets, both legit ("Under the Milky Way") and campy ("Bette Davis Eyes")....if this was TOO silly I wouldn't post it, but it's really quite good and that is why it's here......thanks to John N.

COVER ME-01 Rescue/02 In Between Days/03 Let My Love Open the Door/04 That's All/05 Bette Davis Eyes/06 Sharp Dressed Man/07 She Sells Sanctuary/08 Under the Milky Way/09 Talking In Your Sleep/10 In a Big Country/11 Love My Way/12 Money Changes Everything

According to Fabio this completes the Uncle Acid experience, "Mind Control"......accorading to Fabio, this is the weakest effort of the band, but he also says he still likes it......so with that in mind, let's check it, at least we've heard the band's entire output.

Fabio sends us this EP, the best I can understand it is a team-up of Kunz and Red Fang, resulting in Red Kunz......this short EP is entitled "Teeth Hair, and Skin", some quite acceptable stoner rock, as we come to expect from Fabio.

Beastmaker - "Lusus Naturae" (Album Review)

By: Richard Maw


Album Type: Full Length

Date Released: 25/03/2016
Label: Rise AboveRECORDS



“Lusus Naturae” is a fine entry into the Book of Doom; and one that points towards great things to come. With the backing of Rise Above Records, the band are sure to become cult favourites. The upcoming April UK tour seems like one to catch while the band is still playing smaller venues. Definitely check thisRECORD out and find out for yourself.



“Lusus Naturae” CD//DD//LP track listing:


1.CLOUDS In The Sky

2. Eyes Are Watching

3. Arachne

4. Skin Crawler

5. Find The Stranger

6. You Must Sin

7. Burnt Offering

8. Mask Of Satan

9. It

10. Astral Corpse

11. Lusus Naturae

12. The Strain


The Review:


With a tolling bell and a warm analogue sound, it is clear where the latest signings to Rise Above are coming from (but oddly it is not Birmingham, England). Sure Enough, “Clouds In the Sky” and “Eyes Are Watching” are chock full of lumbering tar thick riffs and the vocals are reassuringly clean and high pitched. No doubt about it, this is trad doom (with a retro angle, naturally)


The sound is raw, with a good mix so you can hear all the instruments nicely. The bass sound is nicely clanky with lots ofGAIN, with the drums boxy and live sounding. “Skin Crawler” exhibits lovely riffing from the off; double tracked vocals are go as the verse kicks in. An excellentSLOWED down clean sections gives way to a fantastic solo too. All boxes ticked, this is a stand out track.


“Find The Stranger” has creepy atmospherics aplenty- as the title suggests- and a real atmosphere of impending doom. Dynamics are used to good effect and the track builds to a lovely solo. “You Must Sin” marks the half way point of the record and delivers a solid and hard riffing track with some good time changes. Similarly, “Burnt Offering” rings the changes with riffs but brings in the lead work earlier. A catchy hook does not hurt, either. “Mask of Satan” is doom in the purest sense;  pounding tribal sounding drums before the main riff snakes out of the speakers prior to a drop out to allow the vocal to come in. Echoing Pentagram's early work is no bad thing, and the band do it to great effect here. It is a crawling track of slow tempos and horror themes; the drinking of human blood and so forth...


“Astral Corpse” (great title) is also a plodding beast, with a similar feel to “Electric Funeral” to the delivery. The title track delivers a summation of the band's sound effectively. There is a clean section to go with the doom laden riffage, vocals are delivered withCONVICTION and the band lays out its manifesto with aplomb. The album closes with “The Strain” which is slow doom;Ozzy inflected vocal hooks abound as the riffs are given space to breathe for maximum impact.


“Lusus Naturae” is a fine entry into the Book of Doom; and one that points towards great things to come. With the backing of Rise Above Records, the band are sure to become cult favourites. The upcoming April UK tour seems like one to catch while the band is still playing smaller venues. Definitely check thisRECORD out and find out for yourself.


Whimsical

All the way from Indiana USA comes Whimsical......submitted by Fabio, I do know this band, not this
album (2016 "Sleep to Dream") from what I know it is trippy semi-psych shoegaze stuff, the kind I like, so kind of excited to listen to this one
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

https://mega.nz/#F!HcQRWaRQ!QOtsuhXDsvJtZ2Jp70zoQw

1. Love Me 
2. Lost AndFOUND 
3. Surreal 
4. Flutter Echo 
5. Beginning Of The End 
6. I Thought Of You 
7. Leap Of Faith 
8. Glow 
9. Sleep To Dream 
10. Anchor (CD and digitalBONUS track) 
11. Part Of Me
Whimsical is an Indiana band who made quite a name for themselves back in the day. Their first album, 2000’s exquisitely-named Setting Suns Are Semi-Circles remains a cult-classic, dreampop with an emphasis on the pop. The band dissolved a couple of years later with the follow up only 90% finished—everyone adrift in confusion & ennui, the way all relationships end.
Time passes, and the heart longs for what it once had. The band got back together last year in order to complete the album, to transform their ellipsis into an exclamation point. And withSLEEP To Dream, it’s finally happened.
The result sounds amazing; a little like Lush, only with more pop smarts; and a little like the Cranberries, only without the messiah complex & annoying vocal tics. Which is to say Sleep To Dream is better than both, and that is very good indeed. It only took one listen for Saint MarieRECORDS, quickly making a name for itself as the most vital Dreampop label going, to beg to release it.
Guitarist and mastermind Neil Burkdoll seems incapable of playing an unmemorable guitar part. Just witness the way ‘Love Me’ explodes into shards of romantic bliss. Or the opening riff of ‘Surreal,’ as intricate & heart-tugging as anything Johnny Marr everPLAYED.
Krissy Vanderwoude’s vocals cast a hypnotic spell. Hear how she simmers on ‘Beginning of the End,’ able to wring every last drop of emotion out of the melody until by the end of the song you’re lying on the floor, anEMOTIONAL wreck. It’s heartbreaking to imagine most of this has gone unheard for over 15 years. 
SLEEPTo Dream is a triumph, straight through to the epic closer ‘Part Of Me.’ The album is about finishing what you started in the face of impossible odds. It’s about keeping your promises. It’s about fulfilling the potential you never even knew you had.
There’s a song on here called ‘Beginning Of The End,’ but as Leonard Cohen once sang, every new beginning comes from some other beginning’s end. And with an album of new material scheduled for next year, this isn’t just a return. It’s a full-blown resurrection.

Instrumental stoner rock is a crapshoot, so procede with caution.....from Japan we have the self titled album from Sonic Flower, pretty fair for this format, I know some don't care for this style, and often I agree, but let's put this one up and see what everyone thinks

Temples

Some pretty fair UK psych from Temples, their latest release "Volcano".......don't know what I'd compare it too, but it has an airy, 1960's light-psych sound to it, which works pretty well in this context. I was figuring I wasn't going to post this one, actually (John N submission), but really, it's good enough that we ALL need to hear it.....

VOLCANO-01 Certainly/02 All Join In/03 (I Want to be Your) Mirror/04 Oh the Saviour/05 Born Into the Sunset/06 How Would You Like To Go?/07 Open Air/08 In My Pocket/09 Celebration/10 Mystery of Pop/11 Roman Godlike Man/12 Strange Or Be Forgotten

Sector 27

Seems to me you don't see this one that often, after TRB Tom Robinson recorded as Sector 27, then left that band too, but in his wake he left this decent album, not as good as the classic "Power In the Darkness" of course, but still kind of a quirky late 70's/early 80's period piece that I bet SOME of us have never heard.......TRB shit was great, Sector 27 shit is certainly, at least, of interest.

SECTOR 27-01 Invitation/02 Not Ready/03 Mary Lynne/04 Looking At You/05 Five Two Five/06 Can't Keep Away/07 Total Recall/08 Where Can We Go Tonight/09 take it Or Leave it/10 Bitterly Disappointed/11 One Fine Day

Soft Boys Underwater Moonlight Rehearsals

0
0
Here's a small bit of weirdness, I guess, pretty cool stuff though.......these are disc of rehearsal tapes from the Soft Boys' greatest album "Underwater Moonlight".....My copy has no track list, and I am not familiar with a few tracks here, so I can't really supply a tracklist, but I do know there are awesome versions here of my faves, the title track and (especially) "Insanely Jealous"......also lots of song fragments and stuff, Robin Hitchcock's singing is in fine form on these sessions, In my estimation.

UNDERWATER MOONLIGHT REHEARSALS-24 Tracks, split but unlabled


http://www11.zippyshare.com/v/MYa4vBxP/file.html


A CLASSIC album, this is a fine extra to have if you agree.

Love the Soft Boys (the Egyptians, too) and love to hear any oddities from them!

Rollicking psych rockers Buried Feather are keen as mustard to be premiering their second record, Mind Of The Swarm, with theMusic.com.au today, four years on from their debut record in 2013.
The Melburnian trio's hypnotic newRECORD cements the band as a solid addition to Australia's burgeoning psych rock scene and we're giving you the shot to jump on the bandwagon nice and early.

John N sends these EP's and they are great, super retro-nugget rock, some heavied up to good effect.......We have a 1 track single ("On the Road") with some good harp, then we have a pair of EP's , a self titled on from 2014, and 2015's "Under Her Spell".........Black Keys meet Miracle Workers, perhaps? Works for me, and if you like the music we try to share here, I can't imagine you not liking these.

1 TRACK SINGLE-01 On the Road

SELF TITLED EP-01 The Great Escape/02 Journey Through Sound/03 In the Latest of Hours/04 Everyday/05 Untaught Lessons

UNDER HER SPELL-01 Again and Again/02 Peace of Mind/03 Modified Madness/04 Took My Time/05 Under Her Spell/06 Birds of Paradise/07 Effortless Progress/08 No better Place/09 Ain't No regular Joe/10 Foxy Tails

Fab stuff, really!

Los Bastardos Findlandeses

Here is the second of a handful of LP's by Helsinki Finland's Los Bastardos Finlandeses, "return of El Diablo".....HOW DO WE SLOT THIS ONE? Kind redneck/biker rock, all fast and loud though, it's a pretty good one, the only one I have however, so if anyone can fill in a gap or two......fun stuff, think maybe Nashville Pussy from Finland?

RETURN OF EL DIABLO-01 Red Eye'd Rock N Roller/02 Houseful of Hooligans/03 Broken Down Mojo/04 Return of El Diablo/05 White Knuckles/06 Ny Name is El Muerte/07 El grande Boogie/08 Dizzy Miss Mess/09 Gung! Ho!/10 flying Bottle/11 Bravado/12 My Way to Hell

"Houseful of Hooligans' is my fave but you can find a ton of great stuff on this wonderful album.
Would love to hear the other albums, just sayin........

A fabulous Fabio submission from Elbrus (Frorm Australia), and we are honored to have a review from Joop at Stoner Hive, so I'll use that.......anyway, fantastic album, thanks to Fabio for this one.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There can be absolutely no doubt whatsoever that this psyched out blues extravaganza is a mountain range onto itself. They expertly weave extracts of fuzz, garage, grunge and shoegaze moments into their six massive mounts. Earthy and folky, the will touch your heart and make it bloom! Even in the dead of winter… . ~ Joop Konraad (Stoner HiVe)

01 Tall Shadow/02 Break the Machine/03 Eyes of the Mammal/04 Far Away And Into Space Part 1/05 Far Away And Into Space Part 2/06 Three Walls

Good album. I recommend.
