Something a little different & jazzy, as Jean Derome (reeds), Pierre Cartier (bass), & Pierre Tanguay (drums) tackle the Monk songbook on these two. [Ambiances Magnetiques]

Evidence is Scott Smallwood and Stephan Moore. On Pauline Oliveros' Deep Listening label.

I'd heard that these three master players were all working together and finally, this is the recorded evidence.

What can you say about these three: Evan is a member of Bang On A Can and a master clarinetist. Gyan, the son of Terry, is a...

Sandy Ewen - guitar
Damon Smith - bass
Weasel Walter - drums and percussion

Very free, non-idiomatic improvised music by these three troublemakers.

“A new studio release from this trio of sonic deconstructivists. Wantonly abstract and stretching the limits of their instruments conceptually and technically, this long-running guitar/double bass/percussion returns with another manifesto of improvised musical surrealism. The modus operandi is different than the signature...

"This alien, completely original music was recorded in a 6 hour marathon session in Houston, Tx that produced two other Kaiser titles. This one consists of very electric duets with Ewen playing electric and Kaiser playing both electric and and acoustic...

"Almost 80 minutes of jarring, surreal, raw improvised music by the duo of Sandy Ewen (guitar) and Weasel Walter (drums/live electronics) captured on this clear, powerful studio recording. Each musician speaks a distinctively deconstructed language on their respective instrument and their interaction is often surprising, always relentless and subtly alien. Sandy Ewen's approach eschews the obligatory mounds of effects pedals (save one for panning) many guitarists use, instead concentrating on direct...

Arnold de Boer - Vocals, guitar, claps
Terrie Hessels - Guitar
Katherina Bornefeld - Drums, vocals
Andy Moor - Guitar, baritone guitar

The latest by this Dutch art/punk aggregation who are always, ALWAYS worth hearing - I saw them about 8 months ago with this lineup with the addition of Ken Vandermark, which was great, and this latest one is another proud chapter to their enormous discography.

“The Ex released their previous regular studio album as a four-piece...

"New York City's long-reigning experimental electronics collective Excepter went through a period of great transition following their massive 2010 double album Presidence. Member Clare Amory died of cancer in 2011 and other members of the band relocated shortly afterwards. Familiar, the first work from the band after regrouping, finds the collective still incredibly strange, but moving their free-form electronics and Kraut/early-industrial-inspired sound closer to the realm of pop music. Opening track...

David Pavkovic (drums), Griffin Rodriguez (bass), Matt Schneider (guitar).

"No, The Exciting Trio isn't a typical guitar group. On the trio's debut recording, In Chicago There is Willy, the band tends toward dry melodicism, gentle pacing...

ExCubus were a Quebecois progressive rock band of the early 1970s - one of Quebec's earliest I am told - who recorded only half an album's worth of material and then re-formed to complete their first album, releasing it as "Memoires Incubussiennes"...

"LIMITED EDITION! It is far from often that we at ProgQuebec are stunned to find an excellent progressive group from 1970's-era Quebec who was simply forgotten! Such is the case with Incubus (rebaptised ExCubus for this CD release, in order to avoid...

Exodus were a Polish progressive symphonic rock band who came after the heyday of progressive rock; their two albums were released in 1980 & 1981. This was their first and best album, available on CD for the first time. The music combines symphonic ele...

"Originally recorded way back in 1992, Beyond The Pale was E.A.R.'s first album, although it remained unreleased until 1996. Pete Kember, working with Eddie Prevost (AMM), Kevin Shields (My Bloody Valentine) and Kevin Martin (God) recorded six tracks...

"Sturdy tip-on mini-LP gatefold packaging displaying utterly different artwork from the vinyl edition. Design courtesy of Justin Wright himself. Includes an OBI strip and a bonus track. Limited to 200 copies.
EXPO SEVENTY is back on Essence Music with the mastermind Justin Wright bringing together a rare line-up featuring two drummers. The four-piece only lived during a short period of time and the thunderous experiments achieved by these unique sonic hypnotists are fully presented here...

"A real dig, discovered only recently. Keyboard-dominated, with Mellotron, flute, and English lyrics. Very good studio recordings. The Wuppertal group – basically a successor band of Cannabis India – existed only from 1974 until 1976. Back then in 1974 they recorded some songs for an LP but did not release it. Which was a shame as it would have been a real asset e. g. on the Brain label. Only in 2014, a man from Berlin came up against it almost by chance and released it as an LP on his Korusuro label....

"John D. Thomas's band of the 1980s, Serious Business (heard on Serious Business, focused on his fusion and "free funk" compositions played with an electric sound. Extremely Serious Business marked a turning point, a return to a more acoustic setting...

Eye and Zorn first met in Tokyo back in 1986. They have travelled together, toured, performed, laughed, cried, recorded and collectively been responsible for some of the strangest music ever conceived. In 1995, nine years after their first meeting, the...

Eyestrings is fronted by Ryan Parmenter, the nephew of Matthew Parmenter, of the late, great Discipline. Like Matthew, Ryan plays keyboards and sings, and featured in the band is bassist Matthew Kennedy from Discipline, plus guitarist Alan Rutter and d...

David's electric cello spars excellently with Arthur Blythe's alto sax on this 4/17/02 recording. Sometimes I forget how great Blythe is, and then something like this comes along and reminds me! [Midlantic]
