Another issue of the UK's Shindig, kind of the slicker, skinnier British cousin to Ugly Things, delving into similar territory (but not quite to the same obscure extent). Vintage '60s and '70s garage rock, psychedelia, folk and soul stuff, plus sometimes contemporary bands with retro leanings.

SHINDIG! Quarterly #1 magazine 11.98
Formery a bi-monthly magazine, Shindig! has now gone to a quarterly schedule, which means a beefed-up page count, this is BIG! Sorta the size of an issue of Ugly Things (a magazine with which Shindig! has much in common, content-wise) but on glossy, color paper for all the vibrant graphics to really zing out atcha eyes.
On the cover, The Electric Prunes. And among the many other things inside this ish, there's articles about (or interviews with) Dutch freakbeat greats Q65, 10cc's Strawberry Studios, the Light In The Attic label, Texas heavies Josefus, blues raga masters Clark-Hutchinson, former Blue Cheer guitar god Randy Holden, and "the rise and fall of our last great rock band" Thee Hypnotics - you see, it's not all '60s/'70s stuff, or maybe Thee Hypnotics, from the '90s, get a pass... Actually they cover even newer bands, including Swedish garage rockers The Maharajas, here. And then there's some non-music material as well, articles about psychedelic video games (really!) and trashy '70s exploitation paperbacks, including that volume of The Destroyer series Allan's been trying to find, #13: Acid Rock!
Plus the usual reviews, album art features, and more. All in all, lookin' good as a quarterly!

SHINDIG! Quarterly #2 magazine 11.98

SHINDIG! Quarterly No.4 magazine 11.98
Another glossy and colorful issue of Shindig!, exclamation point and all. This British music magazine is a must for anyone into the vintage sounds of yesteryear (popsyke, folk-rock, heavy prog, R&B, etc. etc.), as we've said before it's kinda like a combo of Ugly Things and Mojo magazines. On the cover this time 'round, Mott The Hoople. Also this ish, features on The Twilights, The Critters, The Committee, Jamul, Memphis soul label XL/Sounds, and much much more. Including an essay on that staple of dinosaur rock, the drum solo!! And an interview with our pal Vincent who runs the great reissues label Lion Productions. And the usual gamut of reviews.

SHINDIG! September - October 2009, Vol. 2 Issue 12 magazine 9.98
THIS IS CURRENTLY OUT OF PRINT OR OTHERWISE UNAVAILABLE TO US AT THE MOMENT, SO PLEASE DO NOT ORDER IT. SORRY.

Inside, also: Spirit, Kim Fowley, Question Mark and the Mysterians, Wimple Witch, Iron Virgin, and modern day pagan-proggers Circulus. Plus reviews and news and the other usual magazine features. Shindig has undergone graphic redesign this time around, but it's still the same magazine of good old psych/pop/garage and other vintage sounds, made by bands (mostly) old and (occasionally) new. Includes free cd comp of new bands.

SIGNAL TO NOISE MAGAZINE Fall 2007 Issue #47 magazine 4.95
THIS IS CURRENTLY OUT OF PRINT OR OTHERWISE UNAVAILABLE TO US AT THE MOMENT, SO PLEASE DO NOT ORDER IT. SORRY.
Yet another jam packed issue of outsider rock, modern music, free jazz and everything in between. If you already read the Wire, you should definitely make room for Signal To Noise, they both cover similar sonic territory, but each with their own bent, meaning they compliment each other pretty perfectly.
This month Animal Collective is on the cover. And inside: Akron/Family, Andrew Hill R.I.P., Astral Social Club, The Terminals, Rod Poole R.I.P., People, Future Rapper, Khate, a piece on the Chicago drone movement, and a seriously massive collection of reviews, cds, lps, books, performances, installations and more.

SIGNAL TO NOISE MAGAZINE Issue #49 Spring 2008 magazine 4.95
THIS IS CURRENTLY OUT OF PRINT OR OTHERWISE UNAVAILABLE TO US AT THE MOMENT, SO PLEASE DO NOT ORDER IT. SORRY.
If you read the Wire, and we know lots of you do, you sure as hell should be reading Signal To Noise as well. Very similar, so lots of stuff that should appeal to you Wire readers, but different enough to make it it's own unique beast. Lots of great writers, and of course they write about tons of amazing music.
This time around, Diamanda Galas on the cover. Inside: Atlas Sound, experimental banjo player Paul Metzger, jazz combo Edmund Welles, chamber group Slow Six, pianist and harpist and Coil sidekick Baby Dee, artist Jeff Schlanger, psych rock trio Radio Massacre International, NY noiseniks Carlos Giffoni, Dom Fernow and Brian Sullivan, and of course reviews galore, shows, installations, performances, dvds, cds, lps, books and even mp3s! Always a great read. And like every issue WAY recommended for music nerds and sound freeks.

SISARIO, BEN 33 1/3 Series: Doolittle (Continuum) book 9.95

And the cool thing is, they didn't have to change their sound one bit to do it. Read all about the adventures of Black Francis and his gang as they record a record that will go on to shape all of indie rock to come.

SIX ORGANS OF ADMITTANCE / JOSEPH MATTSON Empty The Sun (Drag City) cd + book 15.00
Music for airports, music for sleeping, music for film...it's about time someone made music for reading! For his brand new novel Empty The Sun, writer Joseph Mattson called upon the talents of Ben Chasney (Six Organs Of Admittance) to create a musical accompaniment to his novel. What a fantastic idea, especially consideringChasney has shown over the years an ability to create mood and atmosphere with a subtlety and undeniable authenticity that rings with such undeniable truth.
Centered around Chasney's mesmerizing guitar playing as well as wonderful accompaniment by Steve Ruecker on pedal steel, rattlers and bowls, Empty The Sun really is the sound we would want playing as we lose ourselves in a good book. Similar in mood and disposition to the great soundtrack to Mister Lonely that J. Spaceman & Sun City Girls created last year, this is one of those records that flows with a pastoral bliss that could, and we find ourselves wishing WOULD, go on forever and ever. Mostly instrumental, there are a few tracks with really nice subdued vocals including some of the most warm and intoxicating vocals we've heard from Elisa Ambrogio (Magik Markers).
The music of Six Organs Of Admittance really does speak to the soul, so evocative and creative and original, yet still warm and familiar, a rare beast that is as much a fan favorite as an artist's artist, so it's no surprise that Mattson was compelled to bring Six Organs into his world of words, just as film makers like Cam Archer have turned to Six Organs for music in his films, and just about every painter or visual artist we know has copies of Six Organs records in their studio. The sounds Chasney creates seem to be the perfect accompaniment for creation and exploration. And what also makes Chasney's music so amazing is the way it evokes a feeling of comfort, and a gloriously soporific dazem even while you're just sitting on a bus watching your surroundings blur by...
We haven't had a chance to dive into the actual book yet but with a quick skim we're anxious to ring in the new year laying on the couch with Six Organs playing as we dive into what looks to be a compelling novel.
Gorgeously packaged as well, both the cd and lp, each with a slightly different sized novel, to fit the format...
MPEG Stream: "Two Blades"
MPEG Stream: "Goodnight Hal"
MPEG Stream: "Lord, I have Returned"

THIS IS CURRENTLY OUT OF PRINT OR OTHERWISE UNAVAILABLE TO US AT THE MOMENT, SO PLEASE DO NOT ORDER IT. SORRY.
Latest installment of this badass music magazine. Over the course of a few years, Skyscraper has gone from a scrappy little zine into a serious chunk of music journalism, leaning toward the indie side of the spectrum but never shying away from ANY music as long as it's cool and weird and good. This time around articles on and interviews with Mogwai, Destroyer, Jon Langford, Dungen, Some Girls, Tristeza, Parts & Labor, Test Icicles, Rah Brahs, Witch, Aids Wolf, I Love You But I've Chosen Darkness, John Wilkes Booze, Pearls And Brass and loads more. And of course tons and tons of reviews!

SKYSCRAPER MAGAZINE Issue #23 magazine 4.99
THIS IS CURRENTLY OUT OF PRINT OR OTHERWISE UNAVAILABLE TO US AT THE MOMENT, SO PLEASE DO NOT ORDER IT. SORRY.
It's weird that this is Skyscraper issue #23, and we've only ever listed two other issues of this kick ass music magazine. Well, we'll try to fix that right up, beginning with the latest and largest issue of Skyscraper, a magazine that began its life covering mostly indie rock, but is now as omnivorous as we are. This time around: The Rapture, The Blood Brothers, Ratatat, Chin Up Chin Up, Erase Errata, Daniel Johnston, The Howling Hex, NoMeansNo, Red Sparowes, Six Organs Of Admittance, Fucked Up, Wires On Fire, Jihad Jerry & The Evildoers, To Live And Shave In L.A., The Lovely Feathers, Captain Ahab, Raccoo-Oo-Oon, Endpoint as well as articles on DIY performance spaces, Lost records, and tons more. Plus all the usual music magazine stuff including LOTS AND LOTS of reviews!!

SKYSCRAPER MAGAZINE Issue #24 magazine 4.99
THIS IS CURRENTLY OUT OF PRINT OR OTHERWISE UNAVAILABLE TO US AT THE MOMENT, SO PLEASE DO NOT ORDER IT. SORRY.
Another jam packed issue of this amazing music magazine, that somehow manages to slip through the cracks when in fact it's as good or better than any of its modern music contemporaries (The Wire, Terrorizer, Magnet, Sound Projector). With a distinctly indie rock bent, Skyscraper manage to still touch on all sorts of amazing music, reading like maybe the most AQ magazine of them all. This month: Neurosis, Jesu, Baroness, Panda Bear, Black Lips, Explosions In The Sky, Converge, An Albatross, Hot Cross, John Wiese, Die! Die! Die!, Demonstrations, Athletic Automaton, Foreign Islands, the Willowz, Graham Coxon, Ted Leo and The Pharmacists, VietNam, Unsane, a focus on Now Wave Chicago and of course tons and tons of reviews!!

SKYSCRAPER MAGAZINE Issue #7 magazine+cd 4.95
THIS IS CURRENTLY OUT OF PRINT OR OTHERWISE UNAVAILABLE TO US AT THE MOMENT, SO PLEASE DO NOT ORDER IT. SORRY.
At almost 200 pages, Skyscraper will keep you occupied for a long long time. And it's worth it. Lengthy interviews with Flaming Lips, They Might be Giants, June of 44, US Maple, the Locust, Slaves, I Am Spoonbender, Songs:Ohia, the Melvins, Mr Bungle, Macha, Rachels, and about 8,000 reviews of albums, singles, and printed matter. Sooo worth the five bucks, PLUS you get a cd of previously unreleased remixes including tracks by: Tristeza, Lowercase, Cars Get Crushed, Make-Up, Les Savy Fav, Atombombpocketknife, etc, with full color artwork just ready to be slipped into a jewel case.

SKYSCRAPER MAGAZINE Issue No. 25 magazine 4.99
THIS IS CURRENTLY OUT OF PRINT OR OTHERWISE UNAVAILABLE TO US AT THE MOMENT, SO PLEASE DO NOT ORDER IT. SORRY.
The Bottomley brothers (Andrew and Peter) along with graphic designer Justin Wright (aka Expo 70!) have been publishing this fine music magazine for almost a decade now. Consistently well written, insightful, creative, and chockful of interviews, reviews and articles on all the artists we love, a new Skyscraper is always a welcome sight. Issue No. 25 is no exception. It features the likes of Grails, The Locust, Psychic TV, Throbbing Gristle, Wooden Wand, Art Brut, Low, Shellac, Burning Star Core, Tim Green, Dinosaur Jr, Dungen and many more. 112 pages.

SLADE VS THE MONKEYS: A COLLECTION OF ROCK CARICATURES (Goner Records) magazine 5.98
For lack of a better word, we shall call this a rock comic book... then again, it could be coloring book too. Who's got the pencil crayons? In case the title didn't tip you off, Slade Vs The Monkeys is a totally retarded, utterly stupid and really hilarious batch of drawings depicting goofy pairings of music personalities and random, uhh, stuff. A sampling: Tony Iommi vs. Q*Bert (the video game character, not the turntablist... 'tho that would be pretty funny too), Glenn Danzig on a riding lawnmower, The Bay City Rollers vs. Yanni, Sparks advertising dog food, Klaus Nomi working at Long John Silver's... catch our drift? They look like the kind of doodles that stoners scrawled in Bic pen blue ink on their binders while zoning out during geography class.
If you dig this, inquire about Cup's Illustrated Kill 'Em All!

SLAYER MAGAZINE Issue XX - Blood Fire Death (Nuclear War Now!) magazine + 12" 27.00
THIS IS CURRENTLY OUT OF PRINT OR OTHERWISE UNAVAILABLE TO US AT THE MOMENT, SO PLEASE DO NOT ORDER IT. SORRY.
Okay metalheads, line forms here, to grab this, the final (?), and most elaborate issue yet, of the legendary and supremely kick ass Slayer magazine, #20, or XX as it's grimly printed on the cover, edited and written and put together as always by Metalion, but unlike the past issues, this one is a proper, super fancy hardcover book, a massive metallic tome, and while the outside may look super slick, the inside is the same old Slayer mag, cut and paste old school zine style, lots of drawings and cartoons, different typefaces, photos, no efforts made to smooth the edges, to hide the bits of tape or the staples that might have show up in the photocopies, nope this is a total DIY, kvlt metal zine, gussied up book style. Featuring interviews with and articles about Watain, Morbid, Whiplash, Bathory, Sadus, Kreator, Master's Hammer, Sadistik Exekution, Funeral Mist, Nifelheim, Destroyer 666, SUNNO))), Grotesque, Savage Thrust, Medieval, Invidious Deathrash, Obscurity, Nocturnal Graves, Pagan Altar, Strid, Jarboe and more.
Also includes an exclusive 12" ep from Pre-Nihilist / pre-Entombed outfit Morbid, featuring original Mayhem vocalist Dead, consisting of 4 tracks of super raw, thrashing black metal, murky and muddy and blown out, old demos and a live track, and a creepy bit of spoken word from Dead, raw and primitive and heavy and hateful and BLACK. The perfect sonic companion.
Also included is a big poster, on one side, Jon Nodtveidt of Dissection, the other side, a blown up version of the Slayer #20 cover art, featuring killer artwork by Erik Danielsson. So totally recommended. Every metalhead's bookshelf needs one of these!
LIMITED TO 2000 COPIES!!! ALREADY SOLD OUT AND OUT OF PRINT, so these are the ONLY and the LAST copies we will ever get...

SMITH, ELDER UTAH / ABBOTT, LYNN I Got Two Wings: Incedents & Anecdotes Of The Two-Winged Preacher & Electric Guitar Evangelist Elder Utah Smith (CaseQuarter) book + cd 19.95
All right all of you Mississippi Records fans who have dug those amazing old school gospel compilations, do we have a book for you! One of the best tracks from The Life Is A Problem... compilation was from Elder Utah Smith, The Church Of God In Christ Pastor who played his electric guitar and wore two giant angel wings to preach the gospel and whip his revival audiences into an evangelical frenzy. For forty years from 1925 to 1965, Reverend Smith travelled across the country conducting his Holy Ghost revivals for his church, and this book collects amazing oral anecdotes, witness testimony and vintage photographs of this legendary gospel figure. Plus it comes with a cd of 18 tracks culled from extremely rare 78's, five tracks of which have never been issued before. So Awesome!!!

SNAKEPIT Issue No. 19 magazine + 7" 11.98
Snackpit, the magazine of tasty treats! No, wait, that's not it. SNAKEpit. Also a magazine of tasty treats - that is, if you consider obscure, old school '80s metal a treat!! Dunno why we've never listed an issue of Snakepit before, this "Heavy Metal Magazine" has long been a must read for the most metal of us here. Each issue, like this one, featuring a plethora of ultra in depth interviews with (mostly) long-defunct, cult '80s metal bands, or rather, the former members thereof, many of whom probably haven't done an interview in decades. The interviewer's questions are loaded with such obsessive minutiae, it makes most magazines, with the exception of Ugly Things, look vague and cursory in comparison. Usually the Snakepit writers seem to know more about the history of band in question than the ex-band members could possibly even remember! (They'll throw questions at 'em like, "On April 9th 1982, ACID played live at the Beurshalle in your hometown, Bruges, with SOGGY. What do you remember from that occasion?", stuff like that.)
So, which denim 'n leather clad cults get the Snakepit treatment this time 'round? A bunch of our faves: Acid, Raven, Griffin, Watchtower, Obsession, and (early, Neil Turbin era) Anthrax, among others. And then lots more we maybe, barely had even ever heard of before, such as Blackkout, Voor, Sexist, Excalibur, Existance, Messiaxx, Witch Cross, Baron Steele... All gripping stuff for us metal geeks!
Not everything is '80s, it just sounds '80s. One of the more recent bands interviewed is the late, potentially great Powervice. We'd been wondering what happened to them, they had a great, Iron Maiden circa Killers sounding cut on the Earache comp Heavy Metal Killers a few years ago, then (we learn here) broke up, bummer.
Plus, this issue's densely packed 116 pages are also graced with a section of reviews (reissues, new stuff, demos) which are, interestingly, often quite harsh and negative. And there's plenty of ads for stuff we're gonna want to hunt down as well. Oddly, though, 'cause Snakepit, while its editorial offices are over in France, is published Stateside by the Nuclear War Now label, there's ads for current black metal stuff that they'd never ever cover in the magazine. The closest they'd come are things like early thrash / death metal crossover, like the feature on Chuck Schuldiner's pre-Death demo band Mantas in this ish.
And, as a bonus, this comes packaged with the limited edition vinyl 7" with rare tracks by the Bay Area's own awesome Griffin, live in '82, including their classic "Flight Of The Griffin" and a cover of The Who's "Won't Get Fooled Again".

SOUND COLLECTOR #8 (subtitled The Pink/Bearded Man Issue) mag 7.50
THIS IS CURRENTLY OUT OF PRINT OR OTHERWISE UNAVAILABLE TO US AT THE MOMENT, SO PLEASE DO NOT ORDER IT. SORRY.

Alan Bishop of Sun City Girls, Eric Dolphy, Grandmaster Flash, Slowdive, Francoiz Breut and Dominique A plus and illustration by Daniel Johnston. With the exception of the fantastic full color section of photos from the rock'n'roll girls' camp, all photos and text are in a lovely shade of magenta! Includes a bonus 17-track compilation cd featuring the likes of Iron & Wine, Stephen Basho-Junghans, Francoiz Breut, Zammuto, and Calla.

SOUND COLLECTOR issue #4 magazine 5.00
THIS IS CURRENTLY OUT OF PRINT OR OTHERWISE UNAVAILABLE TO US AT THE MOMENT, SO PLEASE DO NOT ORDER IT. SORRY.
Yay! A new issue of one of our favorite 'zines. We just got it in, so we have yet to dig into its pages in depth, but looking through it I've already noted pieces on This Heat, U.S. Maple, Harry Partch, and Captain Beefheart that I want to read...plus what look to be intriguing features on Willie Winant, David S. Ware, Beulah and more. An interesting mix of avant-music and indie rock content contained within 95 graphically nice and user friendly pages.

SOUND COLLECTOR AUDIO REVIEW Issue #1 magazine 2.95
THIS IS CURRENTLY OUT OF PRINT OR OTHERWISE UNAVAILABLE TO US AT THE MOMENT, SO PLEASE DO NOT ORDER IT. SORRY.
Laris Kreslin's nicely done Sound Collector magazine here releases a supplement, the Audio Review, which is sort of Village Voice-format on newsprint, and gorgeously designed by Stacey Wakefield. L-o-n-g reviews of records old and new, and for the most part they're pretty thoughtful pieces, the subjects including Thin Lizzy, Freestyle Fellowship, Vashti Bunyan, Peter Jefferies, Chessie, Charley Patton, Ryoji Ikeda, the Langley Schools Music Project, Mantronix, Pulp, Supersilent, and many more. The writers are a notable who's who of indie writing, with Jason Gross (Perfect Sound Forever), Joel Schalit (Punk Planet, Elders of Zion), Mike McGonigal (Chemical Imbalance, Yeti), etc.

SOUND PROJECTOR 18th Issue magazine 11.98
One of the first things we turn to in any music magazine is the reviews section. Yup, when we're not writing record reviews, we just love to read 'em. Go figure. So of course, that makes Ed Pinsent's Sound Projector one of our favorite mags around, seeing as how it mostly consists of reviews - well-written, expert ones, hundred and hundreds of them, covering all sorts of underground sounds we like, from field recordings to free improv to acoustic folk to electronic drone to black metal, and more!
With its trademark black/red/white cover color scheme intact, and expected massive bulk as well, the Sound Projector's 18th issue is here, straight from England, and we've really only just skimmed its 180 pages 'cause we're too busy right now with our own reviews (but we can't wait to dig into it this weekend!). The reviews are as usual grouped into several sections (International Surveys, Evil Noise and Rock, Art Music, Vinyl and Books, Melodic), those divided into even more precise (?) smaller groupings with designations like "Atoms Of Pure Noise", "Japan", "Touch Sevens", "The Droning Ones", "Stoner And Doom", "Tape Maschines Maken Klang"... Some labels get their own sections, some reviewers do too. There's an index in the back, in tiny tiny type, so you can find individual reviews alphabetically by artist if you like, but browsing through seems best.
Of course, more than a few of these records we've reviewed already (but it's nice to get a second opinion... and the SP crew don't always agree with what we said), and there's plenty more here we've been meaning to get to, or definitely will once we track 'em down on the basis of the Sound Projector's say. One thing we've always liked about the Sound Projector (and that we try to do too) is that they don't limit themselves to reviewing the -newest- of releases, so even if something's 2 or 3 or 5 years old, it might get written up here anyway, just 'cause someone's been listening to it and gotten enthused, regardless of when the record in question was released.
Like we said, it's mostly reviews (yay) but there IS some other content here too, including in-depth interviews with Industrial percussionist/composer Z'ev, English avant-folk guitarist C. Joynes, and '70 San Francisco synthpunks The Units!! Also, this issue comes with a download code for a free special Sound Projector mp3 compilation, English Wildlife, highlighting some unknown to us UK underground acts.
Basically, next to our own website, this is pretty much essential reading for all devoted AQ customer-types in our opinion!

SOUND PROJECTOR PRESENTS VINYL VIANDS 2006 magazine 11.98
THIS IS CURRENTLY OUT OF PRINT OR OTHERWISE UNAVAILABLE TO US AT THE MOMENT, SO PLEASE DO NOT ORDER IT. SORRY.
No, it's not quite time yet for the new issue (that'll be #15) of one of our favorite music 'zines, the UK's eclectic, enthusiastic, informative Sound Projector... not quite. To hold us over, though, the kindly Sound Projector staff have assembled this special "Vinyl Viands 2006" publication. As you may know, the majority of the pages of any issue of the Sound Projector are occupied by lengthy album reviews, covering all sorts of music, new and old, from disparate genres seemingly unified only by the fact that we here at AQ love 'em all too: drones, psych, folk, hip hop, metal, electronics, krautrock, noise, outsider stuff, and more... One regular feature of the SP is the Vinyl Viands section -- reviews of stuff the writers have picked up on LP, generally used. About as random as you can get, always full of interesting finds. Well apparently they've been maxing out their credit cards lately, disposing of their income in the best way possible, buying tons and tons of records, 'cause they wound up with enough "Vinyl Viands" reviews to fill a whole magazine. So they did. 78 big ol' pages packed with reviews of, as the cover states: "Jazz Vinyl! Old Vinyl! Rockin Vinyl! New Vinyl! Art Vinyl! Weird Vinyl! Coloured Vinyl!..." etc. Everything from Fred Frith to Hatebeak to Alice Cooper to Horace Silver!! T2, Annette Peacock, Ultravox, Sun City Girls, Pelican/Mono, Fanny, Fe-mail, Dennis Wilson, The Vitamin B-12... geeze if you're a record collector/music geek/AQ regular you're gonna LOVE reading all this. There's some special sections devoted to The New Blockaders and Poland's Obuh label, among other things. Enjoy.

Thunk! Another issue of the UK's The Sound Projector just landed on my desk, obliterating any loose items and also obliterating my free time, as now all I want to do is read, read, read. Weighing in at 172 pages of musical criticism and appreciation, this handsome as usual new edition of one of our favorite "zines" is pretty much a must have for any dedicated AQ list reader! True, these aren't cheap (due to the exchange rate and the expense of shipping such a hefty tome) but it'll keep you busy for hours reading the gizillions of reviews of stuff new and old by The Sound Projector's capable and very opinionated crew of reviewers... and along with the reviews, there's in-depth interviews/features on Ashtray Navigations, Vibracathedral Orchestra, Jazzfinger, Harry Partch, The Shadow Ring, and more...
The Sound Projector has aways broken its reviews down into various taxonomic catagories, from drones to noise to ethnic music to field recordings to urban pop music, even. This issue's no exception, and in addition to such sections of AQ-approved-interest as "Music From Japan" and "Finnish Folk And Psych" we find editor Ed Pinsent's assessment of a variety of "Metal Men" (wherein he gives a plug to Aquarius, thanks Ed) like Converge, Boris, Burzum and SUNNO))), and also longtime SP contributor Jennifer Hor's "Pandaemonium!" chapter devoted to black metal: Xasthur, Striborg, Blut Aus Nord, Taake, Leviathan, Forest, Deathspell Omega, etc. Very cool. Where else are you going to find reviews of, say, Konono No.1, Velvet Cacoon, and Lula Cortes e Ze Ramalho all under the same covers? Well, besides our own website, of course. You can see why we like this. And the SP reviewers call 'em like they see 'em, beholden to no notions of common hipster consensus. They even criticize stuff we love. So it's refreshing to get their perpective (even if sometimes their tendency towards British smartarsedness runs away with them). Another chunk of this issue that we really enjoyed was Pinsent's evaluations of various random used records he picked up on a trip to the States and on eBay ("Vinyl Viands"). I'll have to email him with some suggestions for further Thin Lizzy purchases...

You've been waiting, we've been waiting, here it is! The 15th handsomely red-black-and-white, thick-as-a-brick issue of one of the best magazines for weird music obsessives currently going, The Sound Projector out of the UK. As we always say, sort of an underground, 'zine-style counterpart to The Wire, but more diverse and genuinely enthused. And as always, this 148 page issue is made up mainly of record reviews (we know you love record reviews, you're reading our list after all!). Interesting stuff new and old sorted into a bewildering array of micro-genres and categories, from "Maladroit Rhythms Of Rock" to "The Crackling Ether" to "The Nordic Realms" to "The Droning Ones"... improv, folk, industrial, international, black metal, everything, There's hundreds of reviews here, with special attention this issue to "Noisy Rock, Evil Noise, and Black Noisy Music" alongside "marginal musics" of other sorts from around the world. On one page you'll be reading about Phill Niblock, on another Emit / Vrolok, on another Cellutron and the Invisible, on another Rehtaf Ruo, and on yet another Getatchew Mekurya...
And the SP's reviewers are perfectly willing to slag stuff they find lacking, no matter what the "received wisdom" about an artist is, and indeed, some of 'em we find a bit too harsh upon occasion. But that generally makes for good readin' and plenty of arguments. There's also a batch of interviews with music-makers on the fringes: Russ Waterhouse (The SB, Blues Control), Peter Strickland (Sonic Catering Band), Clay Ruby (Davenport Family), Mudboy, and UW Owl.
All in all, another essential slab of reading material for all dedicated AQ customer-types. We love it.

Holy crap. This thing weighs a ton. 184 pages, a thicker even than usual A4 sized tome wrapped in their trademark red, black and white cover graphics. England's Sound Projector is back with its 16th issue, as always a must read for the sort of folks likely to be reading this review -- that is, if you're an avid AQ-list reader, you're gonna love Sound Projector, 'cause each enthused (yet sometimes scathingly critical) issue of this fanzine consists in large part of many, many music reviews, exploring the unusual, underground, avant-garde sonic territory that we at AQ love. And we usually learn a lot from each issue, from their obscure selections and thoughtful opinions. This time the 'zine is broken into five sections, starting with an international record review survey ranging the USA and UK to the "The Nordic Realms", where you'll find the "world music" likes of Getachew Mekurya and Raushan Orazbaeva right next to sundry "Free Folk" folks... Section two is also right up our alley, "Noisy Rock, Evil Noise, and Black Noisy Music", where you'll find reviews of the first three Earth albums (that's right, did we mention that the Sound Projector could care less about release dates, and just reviews whatever they want to from whenever it came out?) along with Darkspace, Forgotten Woods, Burning Star Core, and Darsombra among many more... Section three is all interviews rather than reviews (actually, there's reviews too), featuring talks with Japanese avant-guitarist Tetuzi Akiyama, UK experimentalist Philip Sanderson (of Storm Bugs and Snatch Tapes fame, among other things), German tape composer Frank Rothkamm, sound collagist Joe Frawley, and UK '80s "postpunk electronic ensemble" Cultural Amnesia. Then with Section four it's back to the reviews, of wide ranging "Art Music" from Annea Lockwood to Nurse With Wound... Finally there's section five, "Remainder", a miscellany of cassettes, drones, jazz, and much much more. Happily, page 184 of the magazine is an index, in very tiny type! Ackamoor, Idris right above Aethenor. Khlyst next to Kirchin, Basil. Softwar followed by Sombres Forets... nearly 400 reviews in all! A lot of things that we've listed too (now's your chance to get a second opinion) -and- lots of stuff we haven't even heard of at all! Recommended, even at the unavoidably steep import price (but it is the biggest Sound Projector yet).

About every 7 and a half months or so, we get an email from Sound Projector publisher/editor Ed Pinsent over in England, informing us of the release of a new issue and politely inquiring as to whether we would like to perhaps order some copies. As if we would say no! Of course, his email elicits a "hell yeah!!" response from us, and some days or weeks later, depending on the vagaries of the international postal system, an exhausted mailman arrives bearing a heavy package stuffed with Sound Projectors, in this case, issue #17. And then we have hours of reading and mental note-taking ahead of us. Mental note-taking? That's 'cause aside from the odd interview or three (this issue: Sharon Kraus, Gen Ken Montgomery, Dead Letters Spell Out Dead Words) SP consists almost ENTIRELY of record reviews. And we LOVE record reviews. Sure, some are of things we already reviewed ourselves. But we find a lot of new (and old) stuff here, things we'd never heard of, or have in stock but hadn't yet gotten around to listing yet. So it's a great way to supplement your steady diet of Aquarius Records New Arrivals list reviews, that's for sure.
As per usual, this issue is broken into many "chapters" devoted to musics grouped either geographically ("The Nordic Realms") or by format ("Vinyl Viands 12-inch") or, mostly, by genre or should we say micro-genre ("Atoms Of Pure Noise", "The Droning Ones", "Utter Freakdom", "Shh - Quiet Music"). Literally hundreds and hundreds of albums discussed, in an opinionated and expert fashion. We definitely respect their reviewers, even if we don't always agree (though we often do, and in fact get name-checked in their thumbs up for the band Quest For Blood). And the wide range of music covered is right up our eclectic alley, from experimental field recordings to hippie folk to Norwegian black metal. We really can't imagine any regular AQ customer not wanting, nay, needing this magazine.
As big as ever (172 pages thick!), this issue is actually a bit less expensive than other recent Sound Projectors, as Ed found a cheaper (and faster, miracle of miracles) way to post 'em to us from across the pond. Yay!
Also, this comes with a special bonus, a free download of an album by Rhode Island synth-wizard Mudboy, exclusive to this issue of the Sound Projector.

SOUND PROJECTOR, THE Eighth Issue magazine 10.98
THIS IS CURRENTLY OUT OF PRINT OR OTHERWISE UNAVAILABLE TO US AT THE MOMENT, SO PLEASE DO NOT ORDER IT. SORRY.
Yay! A new issue of this great magazine. What we said about the last issue still holds true: Magazine of the week, month, etc. Any new issue of Ed Pinsent's music 'zine The Sound Projector is a cause for joy. Anyone who buys and enjoys fellow UK music mag The Wire MUST pick this up, as it covers more-or-less the same range of musics (from electronics to avant-classical to dub to krautrock to drone to urban hip hop and more...) and does it in a much more genuine, fannish way. It's not a slick mag with lots of ads and pretentious music journalists writing with hip, trendy agendas, faults The Wire sometimes falls prey to--although it's big (154 pages, squarebound, 30 pages more than last ish!) and nice looking (with a instantly recognizable and pleasant black-white-and-red design aesthetic).
In this issue: the Rev. Dwight Frizzell, Peter Blegvad of Slapp Happy, the Argentinian concept band (and AQ-fave) Reynols (interview conducted by AQ's own Jim Haynes), Pita Rehberg of the Austrian label Mego, the very amusing (and perverse) Donald Miller of Borbetomagus, John Gill of Big Stick, and tons of reviews, from Eminem and Dead Prez to Loren Chasse, Pimmon, and the (now sadly out of print) Jazz Actuel box.

SOUND PROJECTOR, THE Eleventh Issue 2003 magazine 8.98
THIS IS CURRENTLY OUT OF PRINT OR OTHERWISE UNAVAILABLE TO US AT THE MOMENT, SO PLEASE DO NOT ORDER IT. SORRY.
Another hefty 170 pages of music-obsessed text from Ed Pinsent and crew! Yay. We love this UK-based magazine, it's kinda like a hyper-enthused homebrewed 'zine version of The Wire, packed solidly with intelligent reviews reviews reviews of cool sounds both new and old, whatever sonic weirdness strikes their fancy from "throaty roarage" to "punk synth" to "maladroit rhythms of rock" (some of the review section titles here). This issue is a Seattle experimental music special, featuring interviews with Climax Golden Twins, Matt Shoemaker, Scott Colburn and others from that scene. In addition, there's talks with the likes of Francisco Lopez, Mnortham, William Basinski, and others as well. An awesome read, essentially essential to all AQ-list devotees!

SOUND PROJECTOR, THE Seventh Issue magazine 6.98
THIS IS CURRENTLY OUT OF PRINT OR OTHERWISE UNAVAILABLE TO US AT THE MOMENT, SO PLEASE DO NOT ORDER IT. SORRY.
Magazine of the week, month, etc. Any new issue of Ed Pinsent's music 'zine The Sound Projector is a cause for joy. Anyone who buys and enjoys fellow UK music mag The Wire MUST pick this up, as it covers more-or-less the same range of musics (from electronics to avant-classical to dub to krautrock to drone to urban hip hop and more--avoiding metal tho, just like The Wire, that's both mags one main blindspot) and does it in a much more genuine, fannish way. It's not a slick mag with lots of ads and pretentious music journalists writing with hip, trendy agendas, faults The Wire sometimes falls prey to--although it's big (124 pages, squarebound) and nice looking (with a instantly recognizable and pleasant black-white-and-red design aesthetic). The magazine usually consists of mostly record reviews, and this issue is no exception, there's 163-or-so of 'em, in 22 eclectic, esoteric catagories: from Very Special Nothing Music (ultra-minimalism, reviews include Francisco Lopez and Bernard Gunter, of course) to Music From Japan (reviews of Tabata, Ground Zero, etc.) to Soundbombing (with reviews of the likes of Company Flow, Master P, Hot Boys, and an epitaph for Big Pun). And if you're reading our list, then you must like to read record reviews, eh? And one fo the nice things about the reviews is that they're not all of new stuff. The writers will go ahead and review something that they've been enjoying for a long time, or maybe recently discovered, even if it's a few years old, which is great 'cause that spotlights some otherwise forgotten gems. In addtion to the reviews, there's some indepth writing and interviews dealing with Van Dyke Parks, Otomo Yoshihide, People Like Us, Godspeed You Black Emperor, and more. Basically, a great magazine that more people (in the States) should find out about. Highly, highly recommended.

SOUND PROJECTOR, THE Thirteenth Issue magazine 12.98
THIS IS CURRENTLY OUT OF PRINT OR OTHERWISE UNAVAILABLE TO US AT THE MOMENT, SO PLEASE DO NOT ORDER IT. SORRY.
Yay! As aways, a happy day when another hefty issue of the UK's Sound Projector makes an appearance. 170 pages this time, resplendent in red-and-black-and-white as usual. We mentioned in another review recently how much we like *reading* record reviews (as, hopefully you do too). Well that's precisely why we dig The Sound Projector so much, it's almost nothin' but! Handily divided into various idiosyncratic "genre" catagories, this ish we get reviews of everything from "Atoms Of Pure Noise" (noise, such as Wolf Eyes and Space Machine) to "The Droning Ones" (drone music, examples being Birchville Cat Motel and Rosy Parlane) to "Music From Japan" (what it says: Ex-Girl, LSD-march, KK Null, etc.) to "Utter Freakdom" (the likes of Simon Wickham-Smith and Anla Courtis). And more: field recordings, electronics, quiet improv, psych reissues, underground folk, etc. And Merzbow gets his own section. Surprises this time around (there always are) include sections devoted to "Pain!" (black and other metals, with reviews of such artists as Meads Of Asphodel, Abruptum, Esoteric, and even Striborg, a Tasmanian black metal band we've been wanting to list for a long time but never can get enough of to do so), and also a section devoted to pop chart toppers past and present like Justin Timberlake, Madonna, Destiny's Child, Kylie Minogue, and others. Seriously. Yup, Destiny's Child in the same magazine with Coelacanth and Burzum. Hmm, sounds like our list, eh? But we've not heard of some of this stuff ourselves which makes it all the better a resource for us. And aside from the many many reviews of records new and old, you'll also find articles on the Monkees and Brian Wilson and interviews with My Cat Is An Alien, Rob Millis, Ronnie Sundin, and others. All in all, kinda like a fanzine version of The Wire but definitely weirder and more irreverent, eclectic and enthused. Recommended readin' for sure.

SOUND PROJECTOR, THE Twelfth Issue magazine 12.98
THIS IS CURRENTLY OUT OF PRINT OR OTHERWISE UNAVAILABLE TO US AT THE MOMENT, SO PLEASE DO NOT ORDER IT. SORRY.
Lengthy, opinionated, informative, well-written, expert reviews of the totally obscure music? No we're not talking about the list/website you're reading right now, we're talking about the fantastic British 'zine The Sound Projector. But we figure if you dig reading the AQ-list, especially the reviews of the more experimental, droney, weird, noisy, fucked-up stuff, you'll absolutely have to pick up The Sound Projector whenever it comes out. And so here's the new 2004 installment, featuring about 280 or so reviews (!!!), segregated into such catagories as "Field Recordings Plus", "Swedish Sound Art" and "Smashings, Slicings and Mad Inventors". Certain artists come in for in-depth examination: we get overviews of the recent output from Reynols, Keith Rowe, William Basinski, and Sparks among others. This time around the Sound Projector's reviewers seem to be concentrating on newer releases (past issues had a larger percentage of old faves getting written up) and there's plenty here that even we at AQ haven't heard/heard of yet. And, besides all the reviews, there's also interviews, with Peter Stampfel of the Holy Modal Rounders, Japanese noisician Guilty Connector, noisy Norwegian Lasse Marhaug, and AQ-fave turntable dronologist Philip Jeck (and others). In sum, quite recommended! It's true, the US dollar/British pound exchange rate is killing us here...but it IS 158 A4-sized pages. A hefty, handsome item indeed -- and it's a bigger/better read than most music 'zines.
