Issue No. 2 features the inscrutable Sightings from NY-fucking-C, who reveal something close to "all" in their interview with Scott Soriano; an equally fret-worthy encounter with OZs sonic confounders the Fabulous Diamonds; the return of Monty Buckles who strides manfully down the back-alley-Memory Lane of the legendary Mike Doskocil of 80s heavyweights Drunks With Guns; an interview with the UKs long-running Ceramic Hobs (the best experimental band youve mayhap never heard of?); a fulsome chatski with the heavy-duty minimal-synth champeens over at Enfant Terrible; one Rich Kroneiss of Terminal Boredom fame taking on the Harvey Dent-level legacy of the Amphetamine Reptile label; a huge passel of agonized-over record reviews that will serve to either empty out your wallet or keep it nice n fat, and an engaging assortment of garrulous graphics and shorter articles that will hopefully please the eye and quicken the pulse. 56 pages." -Z Gun |

Artist: SYOGO-NARI Title: Born From The Water Format: CD Label: Zakuro Country: Japan Price: $14.00 |
|
�??Syogonari is the Japanese psychedelic and/or acid folk band formed by Ishida Yasuyuki, who sings, plays an acoustic guitar and writes all the songs of the band, and Miki Kaori, who plays a piano, in a summer of 1996. They started gigging after two musicians, Kito Akira (sax, flute) and Maru-ichi (drums) joined the band. The music is always mystical, nostalgic and mysterious, and their lyrics are often phantasmal and philosophical. Their acoustic sound seems to draw on traditional Japanese folk music influence to some extent, so that some people might feel the similar mould as Jacks, Yoshio Hayakawa and Kan Mikami. On some occasions their numbers sound like those of Tim Buckley, Tom Rapp (Pearls before Swine), Randy Burns, etc. Syogonari released their 1st CD containing dark, gloomy, noisy guitars of Kawabata Makoto (Acid Mothers Temple, Musica Transonic) last December.�?�

"Recent repressing of one of the earliest Nicodemus LPs, first issued in 1977. Using leftover heavy board covers from the original pressing with a new vinyl, this is semi-indistinguishable from the original. Recorded live at Dungeon Hall, this is the desolation-folk side of Nicodemus, exemplified." - Zedikiah.

| "WOVEN BONES ANDREW BURR says, "All of us in the band have spent way too much time with The Velvet Underground, ... (more) Link Wray, and other loud/primitive forms of rock and roll...The simple drum beats behind our songs are definitely inspired by the drumming of Mo Tucker and the primitive beats behind bands like The Shangr-Las and even Neu. I personally have been eternally infected by the music of the above mentioned bands and others like The Troggs, Simply Saucer, Spacemen 3, Les Rallizes Denudes, The Adverts, The Ramones, The Damned, The Gun Club, The Jesus and Mary Chain, and The Vaselines. I know subconsciously those things are always heavy influences on my song writing." Pressed on white vinyl." - Zoo Music. |

Artist: CAMPBELL, NEIL & HORTON, ROBERT Title: Trojanhopper Format: LP Label: Zum Audio Country: USA Price: $16.00 |
| "Two individuals with long histories in improvised and experimental music come together through, and despite, modern technology-NEIL CAMPBELL (ASTRAL SOCIAL CLUB, VIBRACATHEDRAL ORCHESTRA) and ROBERT HORTON (THE APPLIANCES, PLATEAU ENSEMBLE, EGGHATCHER). Although Campbell and Horton have never met in person, they met virtually on the Jeweled Antler mailing list. Both musicians are ridiculously prolific and prone to collaboration. They got to talking disco, probably as an antidote to all the folk and how to record bug chatter. Campbell says, "Robert TOLD me in an email one day well make a disco record together... who was I to argue?" As far as the end result being disco, Horton notes "we failed at that." "It was a good idea," writes Campbell, "but youre also correct to draw attention to the missing of original target, which I really like - nothing better than the happy accident." Horton continues, "collaborations are about being surprised and this one did that often. Just when I thought I knew where it was going it went somewhere else. We still have it in our future plans to make a dance record. 70s retro disco with a serious virus inside that causes it to bleed drones." The resulting album that had to be pieced back together is something that mixes organic, almost crystalline drones with off kilter beat patterns and lopsided techno. Trojandropper is beatific, odd, and an anomaly to even its creators, like all projects that take on a life of their own." - Zum Audio |
