Phenomena

Beyond the Darkness is an anthology of the second half of the career of the Italian band Goblin, best known for its propulsive scores for Italian film director Dario Argento.
Combining elements of progressive psychedelia with jazz-rock, Eastern European folk music and the Baroque, Goblin’s music remains an eerie one-off.

It is a well-established fact that our approach to music is generally twofold: this is the physicists' as well as the musicians' doing. One the one hand, music is considered to be based on acoustics, or even mathematics, which ought to give it the status of a science; on the other hand , it is acknowledged that it proceeds from psychological and sociological phenomena which, over the ages, have developed into an art, itself depending on various crafts. There is no longer any contradiction between the two approaches so long as one is prepared to accept them jointly, with enough insight to respect the methods proper to each end of the "chain."

For a long time I had had the idea of using a large-scale work to put into concrete form a concept that seemed to me to symbolize the apparatus of sensory perception in music. The concept permits two types of attitude as its extremes: immediate perception, linked to the nature of phenomena at the moment they occur, and reflective perception, which takes the relationships between phenomena into consideration, and causes memory to intervene. In symmetry with the latter type we have foreseeability. That is, the unconscious will to anticipate the musical discourse, with this will feeding on memorized objects…

This is the deepest plunge into the sinepearls so far. A meeting of high and low at the inbetween of phenomena. Avoid high volume for best experience. Headphones on, eyelids down. Enjoy the journey!

The Swedish near-supergroup Lover Under Cover has just released ''Into The Night'', a solid follow up to 2012′s debut ''Set The Night On Fire''. Despite this being a sophomore album, the members of Lover Under Cover have many decades of experience, and it shows in all aspects of their new CD.

A truly mind-blowing deep dive into one of the most important works within the canon of 20th Century experimental music, stretching across 3 LPs and 2 CDs, as well as containing a 124-page book, Alvin Lucier's "I Am Sitting in a Room. Archival Recordings 1969–2019" on Sound On Paper Editions gathers 10 previously unavailable renderings of this astounding composition, created by the composer between 1969 and 2019. Illumining an unprecedented level of depth, nuance, and insight from a work that can never be the same thing twice, this stunning box set is issued in a limited edition of 500 hand-numbered copies and won't sit around for long. As highly recommended as they come!

The melodic hard rock all-star project BARNABAS SKY, led by German guitarist and songwriter Markus Pfeffer (LAZARUS DREAM/WINTERLAND), launches its sophomore album "What Comes To Light" Stylistically, the project of the multi-instrumentalist from Kaiserslautern combines groovy guitar riffs, catchy choruses, distinctive voices of several singers with international reputation, spherical synth sounds and filigree solos to a timeless rock mélange way beyond short-lived trends. Once again on board are TYKETTO's Danny Vaughn as well as SILENT RAGE's Jesse Damon, whereby the former impresses with energetic vocals on the title track and the latter is supported with choirs by AOR legend PAUL SABU on the elegiac earworm "Grant Me A Wish From Heaven".
