[Music] A.M Ferrari Fradejas – Requiem No. 2

//bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/v=2/album=2577580355/size=large/bgcol=ffffff/linkcol=0687f5/We’re treated to the year’s first Bandcamp surprise, thanks to our beloved friend A.M Ferrari Fradejas, currently based in Barcelona, Spain. Despite its 13-minute length, the composition packs a lot of time changes, churning guitars, an eerie choral section reminding one of a solstice ritual melded with her…

[Music] Cyril Cyril – Colosse de Rhodes 7″ Single Two gentlemen named Cyril (Cyril Yeterian: Banjo, Guitar, Organ, Vocals and Cyril Bondi: Percussions, Vocals) make a wonderful fusion between Western and Arabic/Maghrebi music.

[Music] Julian Cope – Supernatural Agencies Welcome to 2018, and a very loud, Krautrock-inspired jazz-fusion track that would have fit nicely on Miles Davis' 'Dark Magus' period albums.  Thank Julian Cope for this noisy groover.

[Music] King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard - Polygondwanaland

[Music] King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard – Polygondwanaland

//bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/v=2/album=1017207616/size=large/bgcol=ffffff/linkcol=0687f5/Australia’s King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard cross all sorts of genres so heavily that they are nearly impossible to categorize. The band move around easily in alternative music, psychedelic rock, prog, surf (not as weird as it sounds, to be honest) and garage rock. This album is a freebie, and, as it turns…

[Music] Karolina Ossowska & Jeff Gburek – The Falls of Hyperion

//bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/v=2/album=249526150/size=large/bgcol=ffffff/linkcol=0687f5/package=1317653078/The incredibly prolific Jeff Gburek, currently based in Poland and partnering with violinist Karolina Ossowska, put together their latest labor of love, and though I don’t normally engage in Top-Ten lists for year’s end, I think it fair to say that this release is his most beautifully…

[Music] Percival Elliott - Forever

[Music] Percival Elliott – Forever

Percival Elliott isn’t the name of a musician, but a friendship. Two musicians, Olly Hite and Samuel Carter-Brazier, paired to make a deeply touching indie-folk sound which reminds me of the best of artists like Jeff Buckley (may his memory be eternal). If you’re curious about following their exploits, consider “liking” their Facebook or Twitter feeds.

[Music] Bel Canto Choir Vilnius – Shchedryk (Carol of the Bells) As beautiful as Carol Of The Bells is, it comes from a Ukrainian folk carol called Shchedryk. May you enjoy this version by the Bel Canto Choir Vilnius and enjoy a relaxing Christmas Night!

[Music] John Zorn – The Christmas Song (Ft Mike Patton) I never thought I'd live to see the day John Zorn would compose warm Christmas music, or that Mike Patton would croon this tune so beautifully. Merry Christmas to all.

[Music] Various Artists – Z Tapes Sampler 2017

//bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/v=2/album=322134426/size=large/bgcol=ffffff/linkcol=0687f5/package=245640045/For many years, I gave up bothering listening to what was laughably termed “alternative” music. That was because it was pretty much the same boring swill that major labels were serving up, and I have far better things to waste my time and money on. Thankfully, Slovakian record label Z Tapes…

[Literature] C. S. Lewis - The Turn Of The Tide

[Literature] C. S. Lewis – The Turn Of The Tide

A pleasant treat courtesy of C. S. Lewis and the good monk who provided this timely quote, Richard Huggins. Breathless was the air over Bethlehem. Black and bare Were the fields; hard as granite the clods; Hedges stiff with ice; the sedge in the vice Of the pool, like pointed iron rods. And the deathly stillness spread from Bethlehem. It was shed Wider each moment on the land; Through rampart and…

[Music] Foa-Hoka – Nevidomist​` Believe it or not, this particular album was my introduction to Ukrainian alternative music. It has managed to stay on my CD shelf for two decades, and it's quite nice to have this wonderfully digitized so that I can refer to it at my leisure. Though I think Foa-Hoka are defunct, bandleader Dmytro Kurovskiy is still quite active making music.
