Orcs & Elves (Nintendo DS) / 2007 EA / http://www.orcsandelves.com / http://www.ea.com / For me, ID entertainment will forever be the firm that created Quake. However, with the advent of games like Orcs & Elves, I may have to start changing my perception about what ID does in the gaming world. It has seemed to me in the past that a number of the RPGs that are brought over to…
These Are Powers’ music is composed spontaneously through improvisation and collaboration. Focusing on tight, cyclical, incrementally shifting grooves smeared with spectral guitar and banshee vocals – rather than the general entropy favored by many improvising units – the band upends traditional stylistic expectations of acts operating within the noise-punk continuum. The recent addition of Bill Salas [aka Brenmar] allows Anna Barie and Pat Noecker to further develop their concept of…
8 songs, self released in 1999. They are great, fast pop; punk with catchy hooks and excellent audible bass playing. Although they are pop punk, they avoid the pitfalls that most pop punk bands fall into, like to glossy of a sound, or writing songs for MTV .The vocalist sounds like the singer of NOfx and the singer from the living end. They are a band that has some serious…

The atmospheric sound of the alt-rock that the band plays has comparisons ready-made to acts like Modest…

To get this solid track, sign up at hot-chip/downloads/sep07/ for a free MP3 of “I became a volunteer”. Hot Chip says that the track was on “Myspace a while back but won’t be on the new…
This shit is plain bad. I don’t think i have heard this level of crap for a long time. This sampler was produced by once great Danzig and Slayer producer, Rick Rubin, but it seems like as Rick has grown older his taste in music has degraded. This 2 song tape sounds like a bunch of losers trying to emulate psuedo-industrial moron Trent Reznor`s band, Nine Inch Nails. My advise…

Putumayo Presents: Israel / 2007 Putumayo / 12 Tracks / http://www.putumayo.com / For those individuals that yet do not know what it is that Putumayo does, they attempt to showcase the music from practically every corner of the globe. They’ve released compilations of Celtic, Gypsy, New Orleans, Americana, and Latin Jazz music (and that’s only a drop in the bucket), and they have many countries and styles of music to…
