The sheer depth and breadth of Art Garfunkel’s career is substantial, and this compilation acts as a starting point for those that are too young or were otherwise unable to pick up Garfunkel’s music up to this point. Eir largest hits – Bridge Over Troubled Water and The Sound of Silence – are presented alongside lesser-known tracks. I find that the later registers of the disc – the first…

Velvet Acid Christ stands as the long running, innovative brainchild of Bryan Erickson. Over a career spanning 20 years, Velvet Acid Christ has fearlessly expanded its scope, seemingly enveloping an influence and forging the further refinement of the VAC sound. The latest opus, Maldire, evidences this fact perfectly. The acoustic guitars found on tracks on the previous album The Art of Breaking Apart may not be present on Maldire, but at the beginning of…

“Annalog and Her Hopeful Diaries is a captivating array of ridiculously fresh sounds cloaked in gently unassuming eccentricity. Passages that could represent the mumblings of Leonard Cohen and Willie Nelson after they’ve had a few morph or give way to psychedelic soundscapes bolstered by damp percussion and soprano warbling verging on Yma Sumac’s bizarro-cism. There are sporadic specklings of electronica; a drizzle that never turns into a downpour. It’s one of the most creative uses…

Menzoberranzan: City of Intrigue is a must-have title for anyone that wants to further flesh out visiting the titular city in any campaign. The sheer amount of information that is stashed in this title will fuel many a session. I believe that the descriptions made of the city itself are perhaps the most valuable additions to the title. Successfully painting a backdrop for the players as a DM is perhaps…

Lisztomania was released in 1975 by Ken Russell (Altered States, Tommy), and features Roger Daltrey as Franz Liszt. This film is incredibly off the wall. As the same director/actor pair that led Tommy to such heights are present here, one should have some idea of what to expect. There is a much more erotic and human feel to Lisztomania. The title, set during the 19th century, focuses on the stratospheric…
