Il rock elettronico in Italia non è mai stato (fatta eccezione, forse, per gli anni '80) un lido troppo frequentato; qualcuno ha provato ad inserirvi i SubSonica , ma pare oro che la scelta più azzeccata provenga sempre da Torino. I N.A.M.B. sono giunti al secondo disco dopo l'esordio del 2005 targato Mescal: questo "BMAN" invece esce per la londinese Monotreme, scelta che conferma il successo del gruppo all'estero, dove ha diviso palchi con gruppi come Fantomas e Blonde Redhead . Addirittura l'album arriva in Italia con quasi un anno di [...]

Oft er fátt betra á sunnudögum en að fá sér smá rúnt. Kaupa sér ís og keyra um hverfi borgarinnar. Þetta á við um Netið og víðlendur þess líka. Ísinn verður að kaffibolla og farartækið er Eldrefur eða Alnetskönnuður. Maður stoppar við hér, heyrir eitt lag þar og á öðrum stað er slegið upp síðbúnu teiti og á enn öðrum stað situr fólk íhugult undir þungum tilvistarkrepputónum og starir út í tómið. Ég ætla á rúntinn. Vopnaður kaffibolla smelli ég mér af stað. Southerly - Trials [...]
Hailing from Turin, Italy the quartet known as N.A.M.B. recently produced something pretty amazing. Their latest album tells the story of BMAN, a quirky little robot. The 18 track album, appropriately titled BMAN , includes a 96 page booklet featuring stunning art by Maq4ka and Gabriele Ottino. Though their self titled debut album featured vocals mostly in Italian this disc seems to be recorded primarily in English. Plus you can always go here to Planet Juice [...]
ein paar aktualitäten von chemikal underground , einem label, das heuer immerhin seinen 15. geburtstag feiert, mit ihnen hatten sie im jungen 2010 ein erstes higlight, die alten aereogramme unter neuer bezeichnung, tourdaten siehe unten: the unwinding hours - knut gleich, nämlich am ersten des monats märz wird ihr neues album "the law of large numbers" erscheinen, und damit die rückkehr der ex-delgado dame zu chemikal feiern: emma pollock - hug the harbour [...]
N.A.M.B. - Radiorace from Francesco Calabrese on Vimeo . With the help of director Francesco Calabrese (who's work you might remember from the Bloody Beatroot's WARP video among others), N.A.M.B. dropped a phenomenal stop motion experiment for their track Radiorace. The track is off of the bands newest release BMAN which dropped today. You can stream the entire album on fairtilizer , pick up your own copy here , or check out the track L.O.N. for your listening and sharing pleasure. [...]

Out today is BMAN , the second album from the Italian band N.A.M.B. Yet another fine expansive and thought provoking record from the UK label Monotreme Records, BMAN covers ground far afield as it travels through big rockers, decorative lulls, and the elsewhere cracked mirror of reflection. Stylistically hard to nail down, which might account for their tag of "mysterious," BMAN will hold your attention if it grabs you at all. Translation = I've played this a bunch. sound: L.O.N. Radiorace [...]

Ah winter...how I hate thee. Here I am sitting in Florida and the temperature is hovering somewhere around 40 degrees and there are talks of snow flurries overnight. It's thrown the area where I live into a panic because a) there is only one truck to clear roadways here b) downtown will be shutdown because of the bridges and ice c) no one knows what to do. I have to admit having been born in a subtropical climate...I hate the very idea of snow. Anyway, all this fantastic weather will give you time to download and listen to [...]

Mysterious Italian group N.A.M.B. announces US debut of epic concept album praised by NME, European press "Think Muse are bonkers? Well get your listening gear around NAMB. The quartet's nearest reference point is Nine Inch Nails, relentless beats and demonic riffs forming the backbone of the 18 tracks here. But they're more playful than Reznor and their dabblings make for intriguing listening." - NME "BMAN is, as a record, a bit of an onion, sonically speaking; full of layers and textures and shapes and such. Comparable, perhaps, to Flaming Lips but with [...]
