"The Globe Unity Orchestra’s music is still like a promise. A commitment to a future-oriented process. Belief in an always developing form. At the same time, quite real sounds and rhythms are produced in a space they fill with unexpected energy..."

Good improvised rock music from a Finnish trio of guitar, keyboards and drums. "Gnomus is a group that plays experimental improvised music = asopposed to playing pre-composed pieces the music of Gnomus shapesitself during the performance. The music evo...

"GOAD were first formed in the Florence area by the Rossi brothers, Gianni and Maurilio, in the late Seventies. At the end of 1983 they released the album "Creatures" for Northcott Production, a New York label that had already released in the USA their album of covers, "Who Can It Be". The album was issued by Emmegi (distributed by Polygram) in 1985. In spite of lack of support from the label, another album was completed. "Perfume" is a collection of pieces written and recorded from 1985 to 1988, which...

"‘Headsoup’ is a new compilation that deepens the legend of mysterious Swedish psych collective Goat even further. Collecting rarities from across band’s celebrated career, including standalone singles, B-sides, digital edits and two enormous brand new tracks, it’s a globetrotting acid trip of a record that’s even bigger in its scope than their acclaimed studio LPs.From the incendiary heavy psych of their earliest work, like debut B-side ‘The Sun And Moon’, to the serene ‘Requiem’-era alternate take...

“Formidable psychic warriors, channelers of the mystic and proponents of a spiritual quest that transcends this realm, Goat remain a band shrouded in mystery. Travelling from their origins in the Swedish village of Korpilombo across the stages and festivals of the world in the last decade, this band has created their incendiary music entirely according to their own co-ordinates and conducted their affairs strictly by their own code.
Invigorated by forces we can only guess at the origins of...

"I compose and play electronic/mixed music with different groups like the laptop duo [KNAPP], the LAPS Ensemble or individual instrumentalists (Nao Momitani, Véronique Delcambre) and I'm part of the SMOG organization staff. I also realized several projects with the visual artist Inger Elisabeth Gleditsch. Currently I'm a professor of electronic composition and mixed music at the Royal Academy of Music of Liège and lecturer-assistant at the Royal Academy of Music of Mons (Arts2). From these last years...

Actually, the group is now called "New Goblin", but who is going to look in under "N" for a new Goblin CD? This album was recorded live in Rome on February 18, 2011 and features three original and/or long time members of Goblin: Massimo Morante (guitar),

Goblin were a instrumental quartet of keyboards, guitar, bass & drums who are known for their soundtracks to some seriously scary 70's horror films by Dario Argento. Their music is sorta like a demented, evil Pink Floyd, but they really just sound like...

“Coinciding with Suspiria's 45th anniversary, Claudio Simonetti's Goblin celebrates this anniversary with a new Prog Rock Version of the Famous soundtrack. The Terrifying and atmospheric experience of Dario Argento's films comes from the merging of gorgeously crafted visuals with a soul tingling auditory experience.
Once heard, Goblin's scores are never quite forgotten. Suspiria is no exception, characterized by its Synth Heavy sound, Carillons, Yells and Sighs. Suspiria is perhaps Argento's most...

"Rustblade presents Claudio Simonetti and his Goblin playing and reinterpreting the score of one of the most famous horror movies of all times to celebrate 40 years of the idolised film Dawn of the Dead directed by George Romero and produced by Dario Argento. The music that accompanies the movie is a mix of prog and electronic rock full of tension and magic tribalism. Piercing guitars, Synth orchestration and virtualism give life to thousands of blood thirsty zombies. An unmissable release enriched with...

After Claudio Simonetti's Daemonia, then Goblin reunited, then Goblin reunited split into Claudio Simonetti's Goblin and now original rhythm section Fabio Pignatelli and Agostino Marangolo have joined forces with guitarist Giacomo Anselmi and dual...

Jean-Brice Godet clarinets, radio, dictaphones
Pascal Niggenkemper double bass, objects
Sylvain Darrifourcq drums, percussions, zither
"The name of French clarinetist Jean-Brice Godet may not ring a bell in the minds of American, German or Japanese jazz fans, but if we say he’s a regular companion of the celebrated bassist Joelle Léandre and remember that he already worked with the likes of Anthony Braxton and Fred Frith you have sufficient indication that an album signed by him really...

Lol Creme and Kevin Godley got their start with the classy and possibly 'too smart for their own good' pop band 10cc. Then, at the height of that band's fame, they split off on their own & made three fabulous and infamous releases, which mingled their high-class pop sensibilities with an absolutely cutting, cynical sense of humor and fine musical abilities.

This was their 2nd and, I think, greatest release. Absolute state of the art production for its time and state of the art ideas and...

"Taking the epic scope of Ennio Morricone, the artsy slash of 17 Pygmies, the desert-tones of prime Save Republic, bolster the mix with rhythmic chugalug of The Ex and add the Canadian tradition of radio drama and you begin to get a hint of what the...

CDEP: A highly praised releases by this Montreal big band (3 guitars, 2 basses, 2 drummers, cello, 2 violins + tapes, light projector). They specialize in long pieces with drone content that build up magnificently.

"Godspeed You! Black Emperor (GYBE) returns with its first single LP-length release since the group's earliest days in 1997-99. Asunder, Sweet And Other Distress clocks in at a succinct 40:23 and is arguably the most focused and best-sounding recording...

The first Gogol Bordello album, reissued with five extra tracks.

“Great early stuff, more gypsy than current albums. A sort of sly, accordian-soaked, over-the-top gypsy celebration with tons of energy and drama. Listening to it reminds me of a cross between Mr. Bungle, Uzme Doma and 3Mustapha3. Eugene Hutz sings/wails and otherwise belts his way through each of these tunes like a harsher, wilder Tom Waits. This is a great CD.”-Anna J. Taylor

Clarinetist Ben Goldberg is a member of Tin Hat (formerly Tin Hat Trio). His new CD The door, the hat, the chair, the fact is a loving tribute to the late, great saxophonist Steve Lacy, a longtime mentor of Goldberg's. This inspired work of art also fe...
