Rudiger_Mund has written the following articles:
There is an omnipotent gleam to the proceedings which really brings out the best in the songs.»
You’d be hard pushed to find any weak points on this album.»
Designed for slow absorption rather than instant ingestion, Lucifer is the kind of album you listen to from start to finish and then leave on repeat for the rest of the day as you stare out a window waiting for your stubble to grow back.»
Ultimately it’s just a group of old friends getting back together for a trip down memory lane.»
Misled Youth is definitely worth a punt. It’s probably even worth putting up with the bloody cassettes.»
At the risk of pointing out the obvious, this sounds like an album by The Brian Jonestown Massacre.»
If you are willing to be patient Folila offers more surprises than you’d guess, flourishing on repeated plays. »
You know that Choir of Young Believers are talented. They just have a tendency to produce some ball-achingly dull middle of the road songs.»
What we’ve got here is a boring album that seems even more turgid because it is from an exceptional artist.»
Now that we can be exposed to every genre under the sky at the click of a mouse, something has to be very special to stand out. And Django Django definitely stand out.»
Fireworks Night veer towards the super safe folk-by-numbers that has become de rigueur for so many bands recently. »
There is scope, ambition and depth to this album. Fresh, measured and unhurried, yet not in a lazy or turgid manner. It is arresting, but not desperate for your attention like an invalid. Coming down or getting up, Coracle will do the trick. »
It’s always best to call a spade is a spade. So in this case, you call a Swedish electro duo borrowing heavily from Prince and Kate Bush a Swedish electro duo borrowing heavily from Prince and Kate Bush.»
The fact that it requires a stretch of the imagination for everything here to be classed as dance music will come as no surprise to anyone familiar with the ethos behind Factory Records. »
A step forwards, if not a giant leap.»
A nice discovery from left field that is well worth a shot. »
A demographic straddling sonic snore-fest that simultaneously caters for everybody and nobody. »
One Thousand Pictures was well worth the wait. »
Here, Mike Oldfield talks about the Incantations Reissue and Deluxe Edition. An album in which he not only brainwashed the Royal Family, but also accidentally kick started Punk as a global force. There are also old squabbles with his original manager Richard Branson, his thoughts on the current state of the Music Industry, and the reasoning behind why he is the “Real Rebel”.»
The grizzled old sex pest from Nashville has produced a fantastic record.»
If Goodluck Jonathan are being utilised as political tools when they are nobodies at the start of their musical career, God knows what’ll happen if they sell any records.»
If you want to get your head out of the incestuous western music industry rat race, to cleanse your palette for a while, then check out Sweet Times.»
No matter how hard you look for a positive from the experience, ultimately you’re left feeling short-changed. »
They have built on existing foundations with the qualities that you’d expect from a band who spent the best part of 2010 on the road.»
They’re like herpes. They’re here for the long haul.»
Simple, yes, but sometimes less is more. »
A spine of acoustic guitar and Scottish vocals at the forefront, intermittently joined by glockenspiels, inconspicuous percussion and keyboards, fleshed out with the odd electronic atmospheric.»
A mature, synthesizer dependent, chorus-centric songbook that could soundtrack Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. »
If you’re looking for a musical journey, keep walking. If you want an unchallenging pogo at a near constant bpm, then you’ll probably dig this. »
It is great that this New Zealand space cadet with a penchant for horrible jumpers, who routinely can be found living in a tent in his garden, doesn’t restrict himself with any limits or rules.»
