An approach, the instrument with the same desire to explode the shapes and stamps, to mutate, to stir his bowels with great loads of acoustics and electronic effects. These are saxophones, of course, but not only, caresses, clicks, climates, all this at once. Silvia does not rush to the chaos and patient sculpture of her saxophones, she takes care to leave her footprints of life as a fusion that has become an extension.
Other traces, other trances occupy this repertoire of 45 minutes, which retains its intensity and a certain mysticism. “Luziades” will be his first personal program with a quartet listening to him, also able to translate and testify to this exciting adventure in which the leader leads us. “Luziades” electro jazz music is a project enriched by the arrangements of Xavier Parlant, drummer accompanied on keyboards by Sébastien Barrier and Denis Clément on bass guitar.

Revenge, murder, bloodshed, and retribution, the Slayer Repentless Killogy is a perfectly packaged story reflecting these values that most look down upon. This is the story of Wyatt who used to run with the wrong crowd. Wyatt is a former Neo Nazi associated with a gang known as “The Hand Brotherhood” whose signature mark is a bloody handprint left after a murder had taken place. Wyatt left his gang after he fell in love with Gina, a woman who saved his life after a brush with death from those who wanted revenge on him and his gang. Wyatt and Gina go into hiding to start a family and escape his tarnished past. The Hand Brotherhood are not going to let this happen. The Repentless Killogy Short Film is the combination of music videos from Slayer’s last full-length release “Repentless”, threaded through a film narrative that ends with Slayer performing a sold-out show at Los Angeles’ iconic Forum. The 2-cd & vinyl formats “The Repentless Killogy (Live at The Forum in Inglewood, CA)” contain the entirety of the concert, consisting of 21 tracks

• Two-time Grammy winning Slayer have been described as “one of the great American rock bands of the last 30 years”. Their membership of “The Big Four” – Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth and Anthrax – the four bands that defined the thrash metal genre – secures their place in music history. Indeed, few bands come close to matching the intensity that Slayer brings to it’s live shows. With songs that mirror the turmoil and aberrations of our society – God’s terrifying global genocide, the chaos of our broken political system, the hideous minds of serial killers, Slayer remain crushing and brutal, steadfastly refusing to cater to the mainstream. Slayer’s founding member Jeff Hanneman passed in 2013 and Exodus guitarist Gary Holt has been filling in since. Paul Bostaph , who was Slayer’s drummer from 1994 – 2001, has rejoined bassist/vocalist Tom Araya and guitarist Kerry King, and is back behind the kit.
• ‘When The Stillness Comes’ is the first new track from Slayer in nearly a year and it’s backed with a live version of ‘Black Magic’ recorded at 2014 Wacken Open Air Festival . Currently the band is in the final stages of recording, with producer Terry Date, what will be the first new studio album since 2009’s Grammy-nominated ‘World Painted Blood’, expected later this year.
• Repentless is SLAYER’s first new studio album since 2009’s critically-acclaimed, Grammy-nominated World Painted Blood. The twelve songs were produced by Terry Date and recorded between August 2014 and mid-January 2015 at Henson Studios in Los Angeles. The band‘s rabid fans have already had a taste of what‘s to come via the frenetic ‚Implode‘ (offered in it‘s demo form as a free download) and the limited Record Store Day release of the haunting ‚When The Stillness Comes‘, which sold-out in a matter of hours. However, the album‘s centrepiece is the title track. “’Repentless’ is my Jeff tribute,“ says Kerry King. “I call it the ‘HannemAnthem.’ It’s my perspective of Jeff’s perspective, it’s what I think…if Jeff wrote a song for himself “Repentless“ would be it.“

The first sounds you hear on this album from the trio of saxophonist Silke Eberhard are her footsteps followed by the creak of an opening door, sounds which invite the listener into The Being Inn and the inventive world of Eberhard’s compositions. This third album from the trio, which also includes bassist Jan Roder and drummer Kay Lübke, establishes the group’s musical chemistry and intuitive, improvisational approach.

This programme of orchestral showpieces features four of the five members of the “Mighty Handful”, a group of Russian composers who during the second half of the 19th century collaborated to create a distinct national style. The recorded works illustrate different aspects of their endeavours – both in terms of the musical means they employ and their subject matter. Orientalism is one of the typical features of the music of the group, as witness Balakirev’s Islamey – employing material from the Caucasus Mountains – and Borodin’s Polovtsian Dances, describing the revels of a nomadic eastern tribe during a 12th-century raid into the Russian lands.

Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme is the third studio album by American music duo Simon & Garfunkel. The album largely consists of acoustic pieces that were mostly written during Paul Simon’s period in England the previous year, including some recycled numbers from his debut solo record, The Paul Simon Songbook. The album includes the Garfunkel-led piece “For Emily, Whenever I May Find Her”, as well as “7 O’Clock News/Silent Night”, a combination of news reports of the day (the Vietnam War, the civil rights movement, the death of comedian Lenny Bruce), and the Christmas carol “Silent Night”. Many critics have considered it a breakthrough in recording for the duo, and one of their best efforts.

Helios – Espera (2023)
FLAC (tracks) 24 bit/44,1 kHz | Time – 47:17 minutes | 445 MB | Genre: Electronic, Downtempo, Ambient
Studio Masters, Official Digital Download | Front Cover | © Ghostly International
The catalog of American composer Keith Kenniff spans over a dozen releases as Helios and nearly as many as Goldmund since 2004. Kenniff’s music deals with subtlety, and the variance between these projects loosely follows a few signifiers; Goldmund favors post-classical piano, Mint Julep, a project with his partner Hollie, is shoegaze pop, while the lines around his Helios project are intentionally hazier. Within the alias, Kenniff glides between minimal ambient electronics and more robust instrumentation, all run through his mini-cassette recorder for a distinct wobble. 2018’s Veriditas, his first Helios LP on Ghostly International, found Kenniff shaping verdant landscapes of harmonic sound, focusing on texture over structure. He followed it up in 2020 with Domicile, an even quieter synth-toned ode to the indoors. Now he returns to the electro-acoustic movement that marked much of his earlier output; the music of Espera is lush, livelier, and perhaps the most singular in his run. Titles are telling in Kenniff’s work, and Espera, a Spanish word meaning “wait,” speaks to the producer’s patient and cinematic craft. The record balances engagement and contemplation with a billowing accessible lightness, and reveals Helios at a compelling intersection, composing songs as vivid and three-dimensional as they are characteristically modernist and understated.

FLAC (tracks) 24 bit/96 kHz | Time – 49:22 minutes | 969 MB | Genre: Jazz
Studio Masters, Official Digital Download | Digital Booklet, Front Cover | © ECM
The Half-Finished Heaven is the fourth ECM album from Sinikka Langeland, the kantele player, singer and composer from Finnskogen, south-eastern Norway’s “Forest of the Finns”. The music she has written for the ensemble here touches on, as she says, her “whole scale of expression”. Sinikka’s highly original and self-contained oeuvre is informed, in changing degree, by folk traditions of Norway and Finland, as well as classical and contemporary music and improvisation from jazz and other sources. Each of her gifted bandmates brings his own range of colours to the music.
This time around the ratio of vocal to instrumental music has been adjusted: after Sinikka’s first ECM recording (Starflowers in 2006), producer Manfred Eicher proposed a solo kantele album, “with three songs and the remainder instrumental”. The idea had to settle for a while, but proportions have remained, even as Sinikka’s writing for the project has expanded to embrace viola and percussion – and saxophone on some pieces – as well as her own kanteles (table harps).

Sunroof – Electronic Music Improvisations, Vol. 2 (2022)
FLAC (tracks) 24 bit/96 kHz | Time – 40:19 minutes | 801 MB | Genre: Electronic, Ambient
Studio Masters, Official Digital Download | Front Cover | © Mute
Mute founder Daniel Miller and legendary engineer Gareth Jones (Einstürzende Neubauten, Erasure, Yann Tiersen) vibe out in enviably well-stocked studios on a 2nd batch of improvisations.
The illustrious duo have used the Sunroof moniker for remixes dating back some 25 years to their rework of Can, and finally firmed up the project with original material on 2021’s ‘Electronic Music Improvisations Vol.1’. This next volume witnesses Sunroof following their nose for curious tones and pulses across eight parts of mercurial electronics that simply revel in the thrill of creation and the strangeness of electronic music for anyone who shares their fascination with wires and knobs. There’s no narrative or concept behind the release – just the sound of two boffins who know their kit inside out and fancy making some freaky nosies.
The results come to resemble a host of possible reference points ranging from the early electronics of Stockhausen or Dick Raaijmakers to more kosmik vectors of Conrad Schnitzler and the shapehifting quality of Kay Logan’s Otherworld works. They are diaristic pieces, sketched to tape canvas in-the-moment, and sprawling between the sloshing pulses of ‘January #2’, to club-adjacent freeform techno-kosmiche on ‘October’, taking in diced-up vox and spangled darkside noise on ‘July #2’, balletic kosmiche in ‘November’, and a collage of dial-strafing radio samples and alien electronics in ‘July #1’.
