Almost forgot……the King Buzzo acoustic album is surprisingly good.

He and Wino should do a solo acoustic metal singers tour of coffee shops. I would go.

Godflesh - Decline & Fall EP


Heard the one track.  Sounds exactly as one would expect.  Not necessarily a bad thing, of course.

Thanks.

It's ok, I guess.  Sounds pretty much like everything else they did.  Certainly no better.

Engineers - Always Returning (August)
http://www.kscopemusic.com/artists/engineers/
Engineers release their fourth album, Always Returning, on 11th August via Kscope. Engineers, who currently comprise Liverpudlian multi-instrumentalist Mark Peters and celebrated German ambient artist/producer Ulrich Schnauss, have been creating mesmerising music with brilliantly shaded guitar textures and teasing lyrical ambiguities for over ten years across three albums ? 2005?s debut Engineers  (?hypnotic lullabies from beautific Brit newcomers? **** Q), 2009?s Three Fact Fader (?a blistering statement of intent? **** The Sunday Times), and 2010?s swift follow-up In Praise of More (?should be given to most UK bands as an example of in making an album that is a joy to behold? 8/10 Clash).

Written and recorded alone at home in York by Peters, before being coated with deft brush strokes of ambient electronica by Schnauss; Always Returning is a record that unhurriedly drifts in and out of focus, hinting at themes without ever making them so explicit that the listener can?t map out their own personal interpretations. It delivers an overall emotional heft that?s impossible to pull away from.

If the album has a theme, its the sense that our internet-led all-access culture is stripping away the mythology and mystery in music. ?As a teenager looking into the future I?d have loved to have been able to hear anything all the time, anytime,? says Peters. ?But everyone?s so used to getting that now, and getting information about artists instantly, that it?s undermining music and art in general.?

An analogue approach was taken to give the album warmth, with live drums recorded in a day by Matt Linley; computers discarded in favour of 70s processors.  The title of the album, Always Returning, reflects Peters? addiction to the creative process; it?s an album about his own submission to the thrill of simply making music.

?Music?s something I talk about every day, something I?m always going back to. I can?t imagine finishing an album and not having a compulsion to get right back into it,? he says. So it is that Always Returning feels different yet the same, reflecting as it does a passion that?s never dimmed.

AXL ROSE CONFIRMS TWO NEW GUNS N' ROSES ALBUMS

Is EDM's next big star Axl Rose?

Probably not, but the Gun N' Roses frontman has confirmed not one, but two new GN'R albums are in the works, including a Chinese Democracy remix album. We have no idea what that entails but it's safe to say we're VERY curious.
