• Fightstar – They Liked You Better When You Were Dead (CD)

  
  NeuFutur Magazine — Authority: 149
  Fightstar may just have been the biggest signing that Deep Elm has made ever in their tenure as a indie rock / emo record label. Sure, bands have grown up after being signed to the label (Brandtson, The Appleseed Cast), but Fightstar is HUGE in the United Kingdom. The opening track to “They Liked Your [...]

• Florestan Trio | Classical review

  
  The Guardian - guardian.co.uk — Authority: 987
  Wigmore Hall, London A good sense of humour would not be the first quality listed on Beethovens personal ad. But, in addition to his fondness for terrible puns, the lighter side of Beethovens personality does emerge in a handful of pieces. The Op 1 piano trios, for example, are full of rhythmic jousting and ...

• Schnittke festival | Classical review

  
  The Guardian - guardian.co.uk — Authority: 987
  Southbank Centre, London Between Two Worlds, the Southbanks Schnittke festival, gave us firstly a full day of his music last Sunday and it proved a bit of a marathon. Schnittke is difficult when heard in quantity, and his fondness for post-modern quotation and the deliberate juxtaposition of multiple styles gives the ...

• Gama Bomb – ‘Tales From The Grave In Space’ Album Review

  
  BigDistraction — Authority: 134
  For the music fan the web has certainly opened up a lot of opportunities. While MP3s themselves are hotly debated (issues of copyright and quality etc) the one thing that is indisputable is that the internet offers listeners a chance to check out bands that they may not otherwise have heard. Here we find Gama Bomb ...

• Comp. Review: ‘Get Physical 7th Anniversary Compilation Mixed by MANDY’ (Get Physical)

  
  Big Shot News Flash! — Authority: 136
  Who knew that in the seven years since Get Physical opened shop with the simple mission to create house music for people to dance to again that they would spark a revolution that would forever alter the annals of dance music? Now fully immersed in the post-revolutionary German house music domination the label that ...

• Rise For Order – Rip It Up (CD)

  
  NeuFutur Magazine — Authority: 149
  “Paralyze” has all the grit and energy that is present in a Papa Roach, Godsmack, and even Tantric. The hard edge that comes forth is moderated considerably by the tremendous skill exhibited by each band member. The nods that Rise For Order make to older acts, including Tool and Nine Inch Nails, further establish ...

• Elis – ‘Cartharsis’ Review

  
  BigDistraction — Authority: 134
  A close vocal harmony is an unusual way to open a storming metal album, but then Elis are an unusual band, mixing elements of symphonic metal, power metal and gothic music with a deft sensibility that maintains the heavy side of metal while still allowing the listener to focus on Sandra Schleret’s powerful vocals. ...

• Partchimp – ‘Thriller’ Review

  
  BigDistraction — Authority: 134
  Do you ever wonder what would have happened if Kyuss had been hi-jacked by Mogwai and then sent staggering across a swamp loaded only with PCP? If you do then Partchimp are undoubtedly for you. Opening with ‘trad’ which doesn’t so much start as launch itself at you clawing at your vital organs with huge ...

• The Fight – Nothing New Since Rock ‘N’ Roll (CD)

  
  NeuFutur Magazine — Authority: 149
  This is the style of pop-punk that should be getting some notoriety, instead of the boy-bandish crap that is Busted. Nice, chunky guitars and high-pitched vocals, well-done, in the vein of early Unwritten Law and Green Day. K8’s vocal style is immediately reminiscent of both the lead vocalist of Switchblade Kittens ...

• ALBUM REVIEW: Dot Dot Curve – Your Ears will Bleeping Bleed

  
  Under The Gun Review — Authority: 148
  Artist: Dot Dot Curve Album: Your Ears will Bleeping Bleed Genre: Terrible Music Label: Standby It’s getting harder and harder to be a successful band [at least] in America. Back in the day, you could release a solid record and tour for 2-4 years on it. Yes, fans grew tired of waiting for new material, but there ...

• Louis Andriessen | Classical review

  
  The Guardian - guardian.co.uk — Authority: 987
  Bates Mill, Huddersfield Louis Andriessen claims to have been the first person in the Netherlands ever to own a pair of blue jeans, brought back from America by his brother in the early 1950s. He was certainly the first Dutch composer to combine influences of big band swing, minimalism and even prog rock into a ...

• Fielding – S/T (CD)

  
  NeuFutur Magazine — Authority: 149
  Fielding’s first track on this disc, “The Giant” is so sad. It is not sad in a pitiful way, but rather in its beauty and the extreme care that Fielding puts forth into making this track a work of near-perfection. The incredibly emotional vocals put forth by Eric work well with the plodding bass lines [...]

• The Dream of Gerontius | Classical review

  
  The Guardian - guardian.co.uk — Authority: 987
  Royal Festival Hall, London Although Elgars orchestral works have occasionally attracted the attention of period-instrument pioneers, his choral works have resisted their advances, until now. This performance of The Dream of Gerontius by the Birmingham-based Ex Cathedra choir (part of its 40th anniversary season) was ...

• CBSO/Nelsons | Classical review

  
  The Guardian - guardian.co.uk — Authority: 987
  Symphony Hall, Birmingham Magnus Lindbergs Clarinet Concerto was premiered in 2002 and, two years ago, was brought to the Proms by its dedicatee, the charismatic Kari Kriikku, a Finnish musician as striking as his name. Yet it is hard to imagine Kriikku giving a more gripping performance than this one with Andris ...

• Concert Review: Ansambl Mastika at Shrine, NYC 11/21/09

  
  Lucid Culture — Authority: 423
  Ansambl Mastika call themselves the “new Balkan uproar.” What they do is definitely new and different, they are indelibly Balkan (although they range a lot further, usually toward the east) and what they play could understatedly be called an uproar. They’re one of New York’s best bands in any style of music, ...

• Newton Faulkner | Pop review

  
  The Guardian - guardian.co.uk — Authority: 987
  Union Chapel, London Newton Faulkner seemed a whimsical choice to headline the final night of the annual Mencap Little Noise series – previous shows had featured more obvious star turns such as Florence + the Machine and Mika. An unprepossessing singer-guitarist who bagged a surprise No 1 album in 2007 with Hand ...

• Review: Haley Bonar at Schubas – 11/25/09

  
  Wings For Wheels — Authority: 112
  Tim has been telling me about Haley Bonar for a few years now, but I’ve always stayed away because I figured it was a case of his Twin Cities musical provincialism , to say nothing of her last name appealing to his juvenile sense of humor (even though it’s pronounced “Bonner”). Besides, I have an uneasy ...
