Earth To Abigail – The Forest
It’s been a while since we had an experimental solo artist on our pages, so this particular release will suit those who’re into an avant-garde approach to several complementary genres. These music genres don’t need to be under the experimental branch by any means. Quite the contrary, the aesthetics of this particular release indicate that…

Ippio Payo & Genelabo – Nobody Answers Questions LP (Geenger Records / Echokammer)
Geenger Records is on a winning streak lately (like they ever fail with upcoming releases), and today’s pick is living proof of my statement. For this particular release, Geenger Records teamed up with Echokammer, a German record label. The release I picked up for a review today goes as far as experimental music can go,…

Multumult – Now And Then CD (lollipoppeshoppe)
It’s been a while since I introduced some ethno/world music on these pages, so this recording came just in time to serve the occasion. However, this is not a regular ethno or world music album. This one comes with a twist, a carefully assembled mixture of several other genres to be more precise. One thing…

Atlantaeum Flood – One Day LP (Schoolkids Records)
Today, we have another exceptional group on our pages. This time, I decided to introduce some divine instrumental music to you, and this particular recording will perhaps suit those who are in search of flawlessly performed psychedelic instrumental sound. Atlantaeum Flood is one of many projects/bands that involves Marty Willson-Piper, best known for his work…

Robert & Shanyio – Palimpsest CD
This material is probably the latest release by Shanyio, which came out a couple of months ago. Following his previous material Of The Waters / A Apelor, which I covered on these pages before, Palimpsest represents another dosage of acoustic ambient/drone by this Romanian avant-garde artist. However, this time he’s teamed up with Robert Nedelcu,…

Shanyio – Of The Waters / A Apelor CS
Shanyio came a long way from experimental artist to prolific avant-garde composer/multiinstrumentalist. Perhaps this Romanian artist seem like a prolific musician who releases his recordings on a nearly monthly basis, but Shanyio calculates and simultaneously works on several projects at the time. Therefore, it may appear like his albums and collaborations are popping from every…

Kaouenn – Mirages LP (Various Labels)
Mirages is one of those albums you’re stumbling upon once in a lifetime. It’s a material that delivers freshness, uniqueness, and entertainment by simultaneously blending various aesthetics with an aim to enhance the listening experience even more. Mirages is the most-advanced recording by Kaouenn, the alter-ego of Nicola Amici, an Italian multi-instrumental artist with residence…

Solarminds – Her Spirit Cracked The Sky LP (Mind Altering Records)
Solarminds are roaming the scene for quite a while, and their unstoppable creativity creates wonders on each subsequent album. Since their formation in 2001, the group took a particular direction that evolved for two decades, so their music only becomes more meaningful, deep, and detailed with time. No matter if you ever stumbled upon their…

Uncensored – Μέσα μου Ζει CD (Polyscope)
No matter which genre we’re talking about, Greece has always been a fertile ground for exceptional bands. Pick any genre from melodic punk rock, crust punk, stoner, sludge metal, or plain hard rock, Greek bands are nailing it in every genre you could even imagine. I was fully aware of their experimental avant-garde scene and…

Dr Schwamp – Tunes, Tall Tales & Tinctures LP
Dr. Schwamp is one of the most characteristic bands I had an opportunity to encounter during my explorations through the vast world of music. Their musical direction is not so obvious to be defined by simplistic terms, neither the group tends to converge on a particular genre. Quite the contrary, Dr. Schwamp floats between an…

Firstly, this very distinctive group has started as a solo outlet of Kenneth Rasmussen, Danish DJ (also a member of Mantra Soundsystem), who aimed to interpret contemporary outlook of southern American electronic music.
