Where were you on the night before the dawn of the New Millennium? Jon Kerr was getting a pit going in Jilly's Rockworld, Manchester. We've asked him to summarise the ten years since then in all things metal in a handy A to Z S layer No Slayer, no thrash. Right? Following their four classic '80s albums, Slayer's four '90s albums received a varied reception as the band branched out in style. During this last decade, Slayer have succeeded in cementing [...]
There's nothing quite like a good, old fashioned zombie apocalypse to force a disparate band of strangers to work together for their common survival. Building upon that foundation, Left 4 Dead 2 emerges as a bigger, more diverse and comprehensive package than the original. Left 4 Dead 2 follows the bloody struggle of four random strangers as they fend off an undead horde and a few new super-zombies. Over the course of five campaigns, a new cast of survivors treks from Savannah, Georgia, all the way to New Orleans, Louisiana. Armed with new melee weapons and a bigger [...]
The wonderful follow-up to Fireproof from Dawn Landes is a near-perfect example of how to make an album. From an artist who knows her way around a recording studio, has worked as part of a band, as a producer and as a solo artist with a band, Landes weaves stories and tales into subtle vocal melodies and delicate arrangements. My review for The Music Magazine . With many well established genres, there are musicians who flirt with the accepted formula. They pick at the edges and circle around trying [...]
Something to listen to while you read... Little Dragon - Never Never (2009) Right now I'm reading Alfred Jarry. Most noted for the avant-garde black comedy Ubu plays ( Ubu Roi , Ubu Enchaine , & Ubu Cocu ), however, Exploits & Opinions of Dr. Faustroll, Pataphysician is a much more sublime endeavor. 'Pataphysics revolves about the truth of contradictions & exceptions. When writing Faustroll , Jarry suggested that he was writing over everyone's head, including [...]

The invention of the radio completely changed the way we listen to music. Sure, it happened generations ago, but it's still worth considering. The rise of large-scale broadcasting meant music could be consumed simultaneously around the world (or at least around the city) by a large number of people. Just adjust the dial to the proper frequency and you're instantly listening to the exact same thing as your neighbors at the exact same time. But therein lies the big complaint lobbied against radio: it's a tool of mass media that, on some level, consolidates our listening habits. It [...]
Ed's note: Welcome, comely and prudent reader, to the debut publication from the Swedish American Futurimagineering Institut (SAFI), our Orange Brief. SAFI is a genuine-fake-maybe-real-but-pr obably-phony-except-for-real-b ut-you-never-really-know-these -days-anyway culturobstretrical organization with a life-changing mission: to build bridges of understanding between the American and Scandinavian peoples. And in so doing, heal the universe. To achieve this we use the power of Ultramultiscience, a new way of thinking that fuses multiple disciplines—sound, embalmery, competitive eating—into a gel that, when mixed with bleeding-edge scientificalism, unleashes transformational power not seen since Nutella met Bisquick. Wielded wisely, it can fuel cars-that-go-boomlike engines [...]
(photos from the performances that took place in various parts of Venice on the rafts) On our way out of Venice and leaving life on the rafts: - Our time is up on Certosa, so we move across the channel to Lido and camp on the beach. There are actual king sized beds on the beach covered in plastic for some resorty thing. We think we are totally set until some guys show up to kick us out. They are really apologetic about it, but will lose their job if they don't get us out. We [...]
Let's cut the crap and get to honesty, the best policy in my book. Terminal Reynaldo is the only reason I would've found Sugar Glyder . But that's not entirely fair to Sugar Glyder, since they're dropping a new album, Poor Baby Zebra this weekend with a release party at Tremont Music Hall on July 3. This is their thunder, so who am I to steal it? Point is, at first, I thought Sugar Glyder was all pop-punk sameness on their last album, We Cracked The [...]
Niche markets dominate today's music. In the current iTunes climate, everything is heavily categorized so that consumers can be identified and connected with genre-specific advertisements . Occasionally these sub-categorizations can be informative for the listener (Italo-disco), but most of the time they read like belabored nonsense (post-punk-new-wave) that can polarize and limit a band and its audience. Reaching and appealing to a mass audience has never been harder. But there's one thing that helps: defying categorization. Metal heads, hipsters, hippies, classic rock aficionados and a host of other music fans have been drawn to [...]
The Manic Street Preachers have been adamant that "closure" is a false Americanized concept. I'm inclined to believe them - even more so after listening to Journal For Plague Lovers . It is a record upon which so much meaning was heaped before it was even created, it is a record that had to bear a lot of bulky history on its narrow shoulders. Rather than definitively closing a chapter of the band's history, it has left many doors ajar, doors that will remain that way forever. Journal For Plague Lovers is not so much an attempt [...]

E enquanto não chega o relato daquele que é um verdadeiro festival de música, faço aqui, pelo segundo ano consecutivo, um breve overview do panorama festivaleiro nacional neste Verão que se aproxima a passos largos. Também à semelhança do passado ano, a febre festivaleira poderá ser classificada apenas e tão somente como um ligeiro calafrio, tal é a pobreza dos cartazes apresentados (sintomas da crise?). A oferta até é relativamente vasta. Corrijo, a oferta é relativamente vasta para os apreciadores de fenómenos meramente descartáveis ( vide Ana Free), adoradores de Jah e afins. Para todos os outros [...]
Last night, R & B foursome En Vogue celebrated the 20th anniversary of their formation with a show at B.B. King's in New York. Above is a clip of them performing the monster ballad "Don't Let Go," which was the group's final single to feature prodigal daughter Dawn Robinson (she returned to the fold last year), last night; somehow, it manages to be a pure display of pipes and a mass singalong at the same time. Nice trick, that. (And wholly unsurprising, as midway through my first spin of this clip I started singing along with the song, [...]
Kyle Bylin , Associate Editor Introduction At the rate of twenty-two million regular listeners and a billion hours streamed last year, Pandora is leading individuals astray from the masses and giving them a new direction. Since their debut on the iPhone, approximately three million people have activated the application and in addition to that, about twenty thousand new users sign up for the service each day. For many, it's the dawn of an entirely new kind of radio where stations only play music that you [...]
Y'know, I sure hope that the U.S. Federal Government gives our postman, Sal, hazard pay. There's no question whatsoever that he qualifies for it. I walked up the steps to the Ripple offices the other day just as Sal was walking out with his hand submerged in a plastic bag of ice. I knew before he told me that Pulverised Records had just sent another installment of brutal and bristling heavy metal for me kick back and torment Racer with. I'm sure Racer will forgive me, I'm just not so certain about Sal. [...]

I firmly believe that Kansas is the greatest American progressive rock group of their generation. Throughout the 1970s they composed some of the most memorable prog-rock songs of all time and achieved mass appeal. "Carry On Wayward Son", "Dust in the Wind", and "Point of Know Return" are legendary tracks. Even beyond these well-known hits, Kansas' repertoire is constant in its awesomeness. No matter the decade, no matter the hardships, Kansas has kept its heart beating. Many 70s progressive rock outfits struggled through the 1980s. Only a solemn few emerged from [...]

Some Remastered Sets
Hello all, first let me say I am sorry for the mad influx of post and mixes. These sets are some older ones that some of you might have missed the first time around.

They range from Tech, Electro, Tribal, Progressive and some Trance. I hope that you enjoy them and much Love and Respect to you all. Fractile Twist 320 DDL [...]
