Review from Wire Magazine (May 2007):
"The best of the first, superior wave of postrock, Seefeel obliterated the beginnings and endpoints of the guitar. Their shuddering mosaics of weightless, flickering loops and quietly insinuating rhythms traversed the chasms separating rock, Ambient and electronic music long before Radiohead climbed out of their bunk beds. 1993’s Quique was Seefeel’s debut album and it still sounds staggering, processing the guitar via dub tactics until it becomes a transient, ever-shifting instrument without organs. The group were often acclaimed as the next step after My Bloody Valentine’s evacuated song skeletons; it’s worth noting that Seefeel were saddled with that tagline while people were still hopeful that Kevin Shields might actually make another record. This ‘redux edition’ features an extra disc which mostly contains abstractions of album tracks, different versions of “Charlotte’s Mouth”, “Filter Dub” and “Climactic Phase #3”; it’s all completely essential."

Review from Wire Magazine (June 2009):
"San Francisco’s Tussle drag the denim clad wallflower of Krautrock into the centre of the dancefloor to create a sort of handmade psychedelic Techno. With producer Thom Monahan and contributions from Hot Chip’s Alexis Taylor, Cream Cuts is the funkiest slab of strangely loose-limbed motorik you’re likely to hear this year, or indeed any year."

Review from Wire Magazine (March 2010):
"Splicing psych-folk with post-Industrial Noise and drone Metal heaviosity, Berlin’s Wooden Veil open with a frantic round of circular dervish energy on “Red Sky” before entering into a rigid pattern of furious percussion in “Shiverings”. Whatever the improvisational origins of these pieces, they sound composed, or at least brilliantly edited, and the quintet are convincing, whether tiptoeing their way through delicate reveries such as “Moon And Hamburg” or summoning ascending columns of spectral noise as on “Gravity Problems” and “Church Scream”. When such qualities are combined, as on the hypnotic “Wooden People”, the effect is transcendent."

Review from Wire Magazine (June 2007):
"Brooklyn based six-piece Artanker Convoy roll out an eclectic groove stew, equal parts funk and freakout. There are definite tinges of Miles Davis’s early 70s groups. “Ejector” could be straight off Big Fun with its mid-tempo laidback shimmer and shimmy. “Black Dauphin” soups itself up into a ghetto Prince strut, jutting its chin into the sun-baked fuel-thick city air. Likewise, “Geyser” is a slippery piece of funk with some warm, smoky guitar playing. The standout is “Open Up” a slow burn number with a percussion rustling intro, the guitar player rolling on the volume faders before the beat kicks in, his instrument now digging deep into the reverb on the bottom strings and surfing the echo on the high notes."

Review from Wire Magazine (March 2008):
"This trio from Philadelphia appear to enjoy fomenting a degree of dumb notoriety unconnected with what they actually sound like: citing GG Allin and notorious white supremacists Skrewdriver as influences, and sneeringly calling their debut album Nevermind. In fact they’re a pretty tight combo with elements culled from, variously, The Jesus Lizard, The Birthday Party and The Cramps to be heard on this, their second album. Kicking off with the reverberating guitar twang of “New In Town” and thereafter mixing up trebly guitar riffs with grinding basslines, the group leave plenty of space between their top and low end for dynamic rhythmic lunges and for throwing muscular, blue-stomping (mis)shapes. When they adhere too closely to a predefined template, as on the Birthday Party-style sway of “When My Ship Comes In”, they sound merely derivative, but mostly they jab and feint with a suppleness and agility which belies their contrived crudeness."

Review from Wire Magazine (November 2006):
"Chicago sextet Coughs don’t so much stay on the one as stomp on it mercilessly, with seismic force. Their sound is utterly percussive, not just from the double-drum line-up, but also in the way that all the instruments land on the beat at once with a crunching brutality. The dynamic is rigid, with fuzz bass, trebly guitar, sax and bellowed vocals all fighting for the same corner. This stiffness combines with a fixedly monodimensional quality to create a powerfully undiluted sound. What prevents Secret Passage from drifting into tedium, however, is the group’s awareness of their own cartoon extremity, with Anya Davidson’s hoarse exhortations stuck in an over-revved exaggeration of angst – perfectly captured on the squealing “Life Of Acne”."

By Cathi Unsworth from Wire Magazine (January 2010):
"At the inspired instigation of their friend Geoff Cox, who became the project’s unofficial PR, Johnston and Edwards made an album with the noir writer Derek Raymond, an adaptation of his 1990 book I Was Dora Suarez. The novel was a revelation. Raymond wrote of a London “scoured with vile psychic weather”, a frightening, fracturing city that evinced Margaret Thatcher’s curse: “There is no such thing as society.” His nameless Detective Sergeant worked a grim adjunct of the Met called A14 Unexplained Deaths, tending to the souls of the lost like a grievous, avenging angel. The black-haired girl at the centre of this story was a picture in a book of crime scene photographs that had affected Raymond so deeply he spent the next 18 months constructing the identity of Dora Suarez and, as he put it, taking her out of “that lifeless place”. Johnston, then living off Brick Lane, channelled the score from long walks around the East End, taking particular inspiration from the sounds of Liverpool Street Station. Empathetic sensitivity to the text is reflected in the soundtrack he and Edwards constructed, the sound of the trains forming the opening piano motif, the ominous drones and fractious free jazz squawks and screams that render the atmosphere of terror and decay, bringing the private hells of Suarez, her killer and the DS into focus."

Review from Wire Magazine (August 2006):
"Brooklyn guitarist Kip Uhlhorn and German multi-instrumentalist Simon Wojan first met in 2002 when Uhlhorn was touring Europe with his group Panthers. Requiems Der Natur 20022004 combines the guitarist’s rock stance with Wojan’s more electronically inclined leanings. Other hands were invited to leave their mark on the project and the tapes were further treated by the duo before being finally let loose. The pleasing result is a sometimes stunning neo-psychedelic experience where the musical spirits of This Heat, Ash Ra Tempel and The Mahavishnu Orchestra are evoked, celebrated and absorbed inside Uhlhorn and Wojan’s shifting cloud formations of sound."

Review from Wire Magazine (June 2007):
"Andreas Soderstrom’s debut album as Ass is built out of lush Fahey-style acoustic guitar picking and his warm, velvety trumpet, and comprises both songs and instrumentals. “Two Different Ways” seeps into your heart on a fanfare of brass, glowing with afternoon light over forest-rimmed Swedish lakes. The same bittersweet sorrow infuses vocal tracks like “Don’t Tell A Word”. The two closing instrumentals “Chinese Dream” and “Feud In, Feud Out” are the highlights, where the insistent fingertip strumming and string scratching resemble Klaus Dinger’s trademark motorik drum tick. On “Chinese Dream”, it is further filled out with glockenspiel and organ chimes, while “Feud In, Feud Out” has a monophonic synth melody daubed with a child’s crayon."

Review from Wire Magazine (December 2006)
"Ex-Crystalized Movements guitarist Eric Arn formed Primordial Undermind in 1988 as a continuation of his enthusiasm for acid rock. On Loss Of Affect, he steers PU through a tangled Ambient swampland into musical territory that sounds like an alternative soundtrack to Apocalypse Now. Reverberating with primitive hallucinogenic drones, garage rock grinds and improvisations that slowly build from half-formed blowouts to cosmic Stockhausen-style epics, PU have crawled out of the psychedelic undergrowth and evolved into something special."

Review from Wire Magazine (December 2007):
"Oliver Sacks’s collection of clinical case studies The Man Who Mistook His Wife For A Hat, which inspired an unsuccessful Michael Nyman opera, has the story of Witty Ticcy Ray, a “weekend jazz drummer” fuelled by Tourette’s Syndrome. During the week he’s calmed by haldol, but he needs his ticcing energy for drumming and leaves off treatment at weekends. Kevin Shea’s spasmodic percussion assaults on “The Hop Bottom Hop”, from the marvellous new album by Moppa Elliott’s Mostly Other People Do The Killing, made me recall Witty Ticcy. In this Mingus/free jazz parody, Shea meshes insanely with funky old-time pizzicato – imitating players from the pre-amplified era – from bassist and leader Moppa Elliott, whose stutters mimic turntablism and plunderphonics, apparently in real time, while alto saxist Jon Irabagon pours out beautifully judged bluesy licks."
