VINYL REVIEW: PALE SKETCHER – SEVENTH HEAVEN - EP - 2011

I ordered the new Broadrick EP on Wednesday, sumbitch showed up YESTERDAY. Less than 24 hours later. Mofo and son of a bitch, that is fast. So fast that I haven’t even opened it yet.
I bought the download, but sort of wanted the limited edition vinyl too. It was only like $15 or something for the vinyl and the mp3s…..
Justin Broadrick and Jack Dangers are two artists whose work I will always purchase legitimately and as often as possible. I’ve always bought their stuff, so there’s no reason to stop now. The Pale Sketcher EP is pretty damn amazing, of course. I say it every time he releases something, but he really does get better all the time.
Fake-ass Red House Painters gone techno, hell yeah. :)
I never ordered from Ghostly before but it seems cool so far.
BUY, GUY

CD REVIEW - JESU – INFINITY – 2009

JESU
‘Infinity’

THIs is one long track of the continued evolution of Justin Broadrick, the long, slow, gradual, career-length, fascinating shift. “Infinity” is one continuous piece, with all instruments handled by Broadrick, which is very cool considering how it sounds like an entire band. “Infinity” is something I’ve waited a long time for, a doom pop epic. It starts off quite heavy actually with a double-bass drum program that is just slammin’, as always. His beats are always immacuate! The sonic landscape changes throughout, instruments fading in & out but it’s not like a big ambient piece or even like a jam. Just a very long pop song! It dates from 2009 but this is already my top track for 2010 & I’ve only just heard it the one time this morning!!!!!!!
YOW!

CD REVIEW: TOD HOWARTH – OPPOSITE GODS – CD – 2010

TOD HOWARTH
“Opposite Gods” 2010
CD or download

So….Tod got the memo that all of the many KISS-related releases of the past year will be heavy, dark, tuned down and surprisingly well-done. (That list of albums includes Ace Frehley’s “Anomaly,” KISS’s “Sonic Boom” and Bruce Kulick’s “BK3″.) The advantage of Tod Howarth’s creative autonomy is that if he wants to put a relatively happy sounding-song in the middle of the playlist, or if he wants to put some keyboards way out in front of the mix, then he’s gonna do it! (That’s one thing about the current wave of of KISS-related stuff, it’s a bit one-dimensional, whereas Tod can layer all the vocal harmonies he wants since he doesn’t have to keep it simple enough for onstage reproduction, if ya know what I mean.) This is a full-on, Todd Rundgren-style do-it-yourself-er of an album, all the instruments, all the songs. And you’d never know this fact just by listening. The album is cohesive, the production is great & modern, the songs are complex & deep. I hope “Opposite Gods” finds a wider audience than KISS obsessives. I LIKE IT and it gets better with every listen. Plus occasional swearing. NICE.
