InterviewsShane Talada - Marching DynamicsLos Angeles' Shane Talada has gone by many names in electronic circles and has just released his second Marching Dynamics album, the cryptically titled "Workers Party of Haiti" on the celebrated label Hymen Records. Some questions, digging up a little information on Talada's process, his influences, and why he's changed names over the last few years.
www.connexionbizarre.net/interviews/m_marchingdynamics.htmReviewsThe Other Colors - 361A bold, intelligent and complex album that manages to retain its highly melodic and easily accessible pop music sensibilities throughout - bound to appeal to such wide a range of audiences as fans of bands such as AIR, Björk, Pivot, Portishead, UNKLE, Saint Etienne and even Mogwai. There's so much mainstream potential in this album that The Other Colors really deserve all the attention they can get.
www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_theothercolors_361.htmThe Synthetic Dream Foundation - Behind the Gates of Horn and IvoryAdministering a daily dose of "Behind the Gates of Horn and Ivory" can negate losing complete faith in the existence of people who mastered the fine art of creating the perfect medium between infectiously catchy electro beats and hauntingly ominous melodies.
www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_tsdf_btgohai.htmSynapscape - Again"Again" is definitely one of the better-constructed industrial records released in recent times. For the most part, it will satisfy raging beat addicts, but there is enough substance in its technicality to maintain interest amongst those who prefer to listen than to dance.
www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_synapscape_a.htmV/A - Pangaea Noise - an international compilation"Pangaea Noise" is what the name indicates, a compilation of international experimental and noise sound-art - a rather interesting and varied one at that. Noise aficionados will be right at home here, but others may find it a bit hard to get into, though nothing that being open-minded won't help.
www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_va_pnaic.htmIgor Stevanovic - Devil's Night JazzAs a first taste of Igor Stevanovic's work, "Devil's Night Jazz" is sure to be, at least, a piece worthy of curiosity for some, and it does open a few interesting possibilities for sonic exploration.
www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_igorstevanovic_dnj.htmBlue October - Walk Amongst The Living"Walk Amongs The Living" is quite a mixed bag of tunes, with a range of different sounds covered, some more successfully than others, but most of the complaints might be more about taste than objective criticism, so do check Blue October out if you like your synthpop.
