Mighty Great Review by Recent Music Heroes




















Joxfield ProjeX - Insult on the Dance Floor (2012)

/Krautrock, Ambient, Trance rock, Progressive rock, Motorik, Avant-rock, Experimental rock, Alternative dance, Industrial rock, Psychedelia/  

Comment: Swedish duo Joxfield ProjeX (Oax, and Yan) arrived after a series of excellent albums issued on Clinical Archives and seminal collaborations with progressive rock luminaries (Pat Mastelotto, Geoff Leigh, Kenji Siratori). This time their brand new one is distinctly related to their personal Tin Can Music. There is plenty of experimental music tendencies out there prompted in part by reconstruction of space rock/ambient rock and krautrock-based elements and in part by dance-appealed propulsions, however, all of that is effectively disseminated and thereafter channelized into a formidable industrial tinged psychedelic groove. More specifically, intense hard rock riffs are seamlessly mixed up with electronic effects and mesmeric rhythm sections below it. OnlyFloating is the exception due to its blissed-out ambient and concrete sounds blended contemplation. There can be drawn parallels upon the likes of fydhws, Neu!, aboombong, PAS, Faust, Asian Women On The Telephone, Spacemen 3, Vibracathedral Orchestra etc. In conclusion, the whole is on the ball by any means (I got psychedelic vertigo by listening to it twice in a row). Obviously one of the most underrated collectives all around the world.

So, mighty THANKS, Kert, from the 2 Bums

Autumn Rain, Swans, Joxfield & Ornette



















Just an ordinary Friday, a day off duty, an indoor day because the autumn rain in this Godforsaken city showers like it use to this time of the year. A good ol' Gothenburg Autumn Rainy Day.
Taking a slow, long breakfast, reading the morning paper, sipping the coffee, listening to music; the first CD of Swans' "The Seer", the 27+ minutes Joxfield ProjeX track "Mah No 1" from "Shimmering Mah No 1" (yes, download for free here: http://archive.org/details/ca310_jp), Ornette Coleman's evocative "The Shape of Jazz to Come" from 1959 - one of the first free jazz albums. And next to come... well, no idea yet.
Bring the umbrella!

Lost Track # 5 - Gharbzadegi - Robert Wyatt















Who? Robert Wyatt
Where? Old Rottenhat (Rough Trade)
When? 1985
Why? Are we too old having idols? No, definitely not, especially not when one of them is the great RW, one of our most consisitng idols for over 40 years. The singing, the songmaking, the playing, the enviroment, in no specific order. So very much inspiring over the years, has always been, still is, will always be, as long as he and we lives.
Some of mid/late-eighties albums (Old Rottenhat, Dondestan, some EPs) are a bit over-looked today, in my personal opinion. It's just like "me 'n' my voice 'n' my simple keyboard 'n' some simple persussion, recorded or programmed". But, there's nothing simple about it, no matter it's not a full orchestra involved. It's the EXPRESSION, close to your heart and your mind, that matters
"Gharbzadegi" is the second last song of the album, and the longest, lasting for almost 8 minutes. Just Robert singing solo or in harmony with himself, and the keyboard and the percussion. Just that. And it's magic, it's big music, a very beauitiful hymn.
What does the title mean? Well, it's Persian and Robert's singing it: "Gharbzadegi means nothing to me Westernitis to you".
And regarding Robert, there are millions of reason coming back to him, be sure I will.

The Secret of Behaviour



















Yan and Oax doing.... yes, what?
There's always a reason not to tell a story. The less you know the better.
But if you could hear them saying anything they would have said:

Yan: This is where it happened!
Oax: I deny everything. It's just slander.

"Wake Up" by Craig Linke


Wake Up from Craig Linke on Vimeo.


Once Craig Linke, an Australian experimental film maker, made a request to us about using one of our tunes for a film. Of course we said Yes to it.
Then I realised after a couple of years I'd forgotten about it and wrote a mail about what happened.
He answered quickly: 


Hi,

I did make the film and I'm quite proud of it! I entered it into a
festival but wasn't selected.
After that it kind of got left which is a bit of a shame. But your
email prompted me to upload it to Vimeo. You can see it here:
https://vimeo.com/44452703
Enjoy and thanks again.  


And I just agree, enjoy. It reminds me of some short film I once saw that was made in the early 20th century by people such as Man Ray and Jean Cocteau.

And don't forget...


...Yep, don't forget, today's Bloomsday!








































JJ & The 1st Edition of THE Book.

Bloomsday is the day on which James Joyce mighty masterpiece Ulysses is set in Dublin, on 16th of June 1904.
So, all of you (or the few of you?) who haven't been there, in the book, just go get it, read it, the avant garde of bookishness. Once there you'll never come back again...

NOW some time for vacation (see previous post)

Memories on Vacation - Goes Underground















Time for some vacation! Let's go underground, or more precisely, let's go under ground; digging deep in the soil in the garden, cutting the grass, reading, eating, drinking, socialize, etc, etc.
So, there will be a couple of weeks of staying away from this blog.
But don't worry we'll  be back sooner than you wish.
Meanwhile, don't forget your daily dose of Joxfield ProjeX - a couple of tunes a day keeps the bad temper away. That's a well-known truth.

Oax Pick - Don Ellis - Indian Lady (1968 footage)


I'm not much of a big band guy, but when hearing Don Ellis' band in the very early 70's, the "Tears of Joy" album, I was stuck. His albums from the late 60's, early 70's are some of the best and pointing forward big band albums from that era in my opinion. And Don Ellis electrified his trumpet and modulated it years before Miles did. And Miles is a huge personal hero!
There are very few vids from that time. Here's a wonderful piece recorded live in 1968, "Indian Lady", from the "Autumn" album.
And the time signatures are as always - odd.
Enjoy!

What's Up, John?




- I have no sponsorship at all, not backed up by some record companies and are therefore forced to personally ensure that the economic part circuit, which is a heavier work than you might think. But if you refuse to sell your soul the long way is the only way to go.

Oceans 11, 12, 13 and.......... 52



Yesterday when I took a walk along the river shore I did pass a bench on which a guy was sitting, holding a big, home-made kite in his hands. It was windy, a bit too windy for a big kite to fly. I saw it was mounted some kind of camera in the middle of the kite.
I stoped for a couple of seconds, nodded a "Hi!" to him, he nodded back.
"A bit too windy for this?" I said and pointed at the kite.
"Yeah", he said, "I'm waiting for it to calm a bit".
"Taking photos?" I said, looking in the direction of the camera.
"Do you have a computer?" he asked.
"Yes, of course"
"Check on You Tube, I'm Oceans52" he said.
His origin was from Crete, Greece, and that's why the Swedish and Greece flag are on the kite.
And I did. Nothing spectacular, but a bit funny to see the result of his work. It seems like the video shown here is taken about 5 km south from where we met, but, I'm not all sure.
