Mobile, percussionist Glenn Kotche's third solo offering, is his first for Nonesuch. Being a member of Wilco made scoring a record deal with his band's prestigious label a bit easier to come by, perhaps, but it's well-deserved nonetheless. Kotche has played on over 70 recordings and performed in a variety settings over the past decade. He's a ...

by
Robert Fripp
Although Robert Fripp's Love Cannot Bear only contains two previously released tracks, it could almost serve as an overview of his Frippertronic/Soundscapes work, since it spans the entire span of this aspect of his music: 1983-2005. Over this time, not only has the technology changed drastically, but Fripp's approach to the pieces themselves has ...

More immediately accessible and warm than Cuckooland, more ambitious than Shleep, Comicopera, in three acts, is the end result of Robert Wyatt looking around and examining the craziness and wild unpredictability in real life in 2007.

Wolf Eyes
Human Animal, Wolf Eyes' first album with Hair Police's Mike Connelly (who replaced Aaron Dilloway as a touring member of the band), polarizes the band's frenzied sounds and cavernous quiet even more dramatically than Burned Mind, which interspersed bludgeoning noise with respites of near silence. This time around, eerie, wide-open spaces make ...

Even when at their most accessible, Melt Banana is still one of the more challenging punk rock outfits in recent history, and with their seventh full-length studio album the band that harnessed chaos to perfection in 2003's Cell-Scape continues to make music that is as thoroughly outrageous and dizzyingly hilarious as ever.

Bomb20
The story goes that a 17-year-old Bomb 20 contacted Digital Hardcore/Atari Teenage Riot leader Alec Empire and accused him of being too old and out of touch already. Bravado? Not when you give an ear to Field Manual, which manages the unique trick of not merely equaling but outstripping Empire's sonic approach. Massive hip-hop drum loops, ...

Stars of the Lid
After the near symphonic exercise of engaging the void that was Tired Sounds of Stars of the Lid in 2001, it was hard to believe there was anything left to do. Wrong. Brian McBride and Adam Wiltzie emerged from the studio in early 2007 with the equally huge And Their Refinement of the Decline. The notion of symphonic here is, without doubt, still ...

Technically the third album from the group, though released as a follow-up to Meet the Residents, this 40-minute assault on the music of the '60s follows Picasso's dictum of all artists killing their (aesthetic) fathers. Two side-long medleys of songs both classic ("Papa's Got a Brand New Bag") and obscure ("Telstar") are destroyed, deconstructed, ...
