from a review i saw
Been a lot of coverage of ‘rock’ music here at LTW, serious discussion questioning why The Mercury Prize chooses to ignore the entire genre, and also more lighthearted fun from our kitchen guru Vegan Black Metal Chef – as such I thought I had better take look at rock, but I like my tunes a little darker than most so was intrigued by the first release from Obake – I had no knowledge of this band, a four piece consisting of Massimoo Pupillo (Bass), Eraldo Bernocchi (Guitars), Lorenzo Fornasari (Vocals/FX), and Bales Pandi (Drums) however a little research revealed that its members have variously been members of or worked with Zu, Faith No More, The Melvins, Merzbow, Bill Laswell, Justin Broadwick, and Thomas Fehlmann; some serious names in the sphere of cutting edge and experimental music.

nah having the same name as the most popular Canadian rapper of all time was pretty brilliant self-branding, may have been accidental but you should still give yourself some credit for that

I wasn't feeling the Earth and Mogwai, but will re-listen. I got Obake a couple weeks ago and it is definitely impressive. Still listening to figure out how much I'll like it for continued listening. I'm excited to check out Book Of Knots, Loss, Alva Noto, Asva, Enablers, Killl, etc.
I always appreciate Rock-A-Rolla's aesthetic focus, even if some of the albums are just interesting, but I have no interest in hearing much more. For me, they'd be the perfect mag if they expanded coverage a bit and added some writers who are less dismissive of stoner/doom/psych, stuff that may be less innovative and experimental, but often has more staying power, at least in my playlists. I'm just happy I can now get an electronic subscription for a fraction of the price of a U.S. subscription where you get the issues a month and a half after publication.

I wonder if a magazine that covered the very best in lots of genres could survive. Like no genre is out of bounds. If its top notch it gets covered rather than based on sales/label advertising.
Whiney you could save the music magazine.

lots of mags have an ostensibly omnivorous approach or have an 'only the best' approach to covering genres outside their primary interest. obviously nobody can cover EVERYTHING, though the most you could hope for really is ANYTHING, a lack of emphasis or predictability. (xpost)

its quite a small sized magazine even though it has plenty of pages. But it seems theres a few more articles i fancy so i just ordered it for £3.75. It wasn't in Smiths today when I picked up The Wire.I think Kerrang's albums of the year issue might be out tomorrow. Last years was surprisingly ok iirc.Terrorizers will be january i think?

i really need to check out that machinedrum album. is it along the same lines as his work 3-4 years ago? that's the last time i heard his stuff.
― Z S, Wednesday, 14 December 2011 21:11 (twelve years ago) link
I don't know his previous stuff, but the lazy comparison for Room(s) is a less murky Burial.
― sean doily, Wednesday, 14 December 2011 21:16 (twelve years ago) link
I don't see that comparison at all
― Number None, Wednesday, 14 December 2011 21:20 (twelve years ago) link
Ok maybe I'm completely wrong, but it makes sense in my head (I've only listened to Room(s) twice so it was a snap judgement)...they're coming from different genres obv but the use of vocal samples seems notably similar (though maybe not uniquely so) and the overall ambience of emotive background music is functionally very close.
― sean doily, Wednesday, 14 December 2011 21:24 (twelve years ago) link
I'm just listening to Room(s) now and there are more similarities than i remembered. Machinedrum's music a is a lot busier though. It feels pretty cluttered at times, which isn't something you can say about Burial
