If you chop a band in half, are they necessarily still of that same band? Steve Moore and Majeure (a.k.a. Anthony Paterra) are better known as members of Pittsburgh space rockers Zombi , and while much of this split EP sounds largely similar to the bulk of that band's regular output, they also take the opportunity to experiment a bit, showing slightly different sides to their songwriting. This EP yanks apart Zombi's two major creative forces and lets each member explore his own on little miniature planets of sound. Brainstorm is [...]

(This stream will be removed on Feb. 5th) Right here on the Needle Drop , we're premiering a full stream of the new Steve Moore / Majeure, Brainstorm . It's out via Temporary Residence . Though Moore and Majeure have made some considerable noise in the past with their respective solo efforts, these two artists are best known for their collaborative output in the progressive synth rock duo Zombi. With heavy influences coming from soundtrack masterminds like Vangelis and John Carpenter, Zombi's music has built a reputation for being brooding, tense, [...]

T he Blade Runner Soundtrack from Vangelis, Kraftwerk , Klaus Schulze , Brian Eno ? Theres no doubt about the fact that both artists who take part in this collaboration record are influenced by that kind of sound. MAJEURE - the solo project of ZOMBIs [...]
If you are one of those kindred souls who delights in the mysteries of the uncanny, willing moth floating in the periphery of the psychedelic no-light, then this will be a year you shalt remember. With many arts have wicked sorcerers enchanted our souls in 2009, their eerie and powerful ...

In 1979, the Peoples' Republic of China publicly reported that several thousand of its children aged 8-14 were capable of telepathy, clairvoyance, X-ray vision, or psychokinesis. Having already heard about this program, the Central Intelligence Agency, National Security Agency, Defense Intelligence Agency, Lawrence Livermore Laboratories, and the US Army were simultaneously pouring billions of dollars into their own similar research. The Army program was headquartered at Fort Meade, Maryland, and was part of the Intelligence and Security Command (INSCOM). Leaders included Generals Edmund Thompson and Albert Stubblebine, and Colonel John Alexander. The First Earth Battalion was [...]
On his solo debut, Zombi's A. E. Paterra proves he's more than just a drummer.For the unfamiliar, Zombi is an instrumental rock duo with a hankering for synthesizer-fueled movie scores. While A. E. Paterra hammers away on the drums, Steve Moore builds looming skyscrapers of synth loops and basslines.Under Majeure, Paterra is on both synth and drum duty; and even though nobody spins a synth
Majeure Timespan (Temporary Residence) Releasing: 20 October Timespan is the first full-length from Zombi drummer A.E. Paterra's solo project. His label describes "Teleforce", available here for free download, as "sci-fi disco", and the description covers some ground: the main track sounds right out of the sweaty rave from one of the despicable Matrix sequels, and the lead synth recalls Galactica 1980 with some subtle notes of Vincent Price.

This week, new albums from Portugal. The Man, and an interview with Mt. Eerie.Portugal the Man is quickly becoming one of Alaska's most prolific pop groups. Less than a year ago, the band released Censored Colors, and they've already followed it up with two albums: The Satanic Satanist and The Majestic Majesty. The concept behind these two albums is a little eccentric. Satanic has a lot of the

Zombi - "Teleforce" Majeure is the side-project of Zombi 's A.E. Paterra, which apparently rolls the styles of Vangelis, Can, Steve Reich and Philip Glass all into one (tall order, I know). The Majeure 2xLP, Time Span, is out 9/1 on Temporary Residence . (h/t: The Needle Drop )
If epic, synth-based soundtracks are what rattles your saddle, you've probably heard Pittsburgh's Zombi. The band released Spirit Animal earlier this year, and we had some nice things to say about it: "This album marks a new height for Zombi and their thematic instrumental rock."You'd assume the artistic freedom of working in a duo would keep Steve Moore and A. E. Paterra fused at the hip--not
It's Sunday again; today we huddle together, join hands and receive mass. And by "mass" I mean massive amounts of good music, from yours truly. Is "receive mass" even proper English? I don't know the answer to that question because I am Das Juden. Also, I've been throwing back mimosas and Jim Beam/Coke ever since I got off work at seven o'clock. We squeezed in a game of Apples to Apples before True Blood and Hung tonight. Watching those shows made me pine for the days when Sopranos and Six Feet Under [...]

Translation of a small pamphlet, dated 18 May 1968, written by Salvador Dali, picked up behind the barricades in Paris I Salvador Dali, apostolic Roman Catholic, above all an apolitical animal and spiritually a monarchist, I declare modestly and triumphantly that all the outbursts of today's creative youth revolve around one single virtue, namely opposition to bourgeois culture. The finest and most profound cultural revolutions take place without barricades, with revolutionary violence moving only the mind, master of space and time. It is by an excavating process, quite the opposite [...]
