ORGAN #185 > NOV 23rd 2006 - new issue on line every Thursday afternoon
Mouth agape, shaking my head in sheer disbelief...
Get your mood on, get your head on, get your boots on, here we go again, more closely guarded lines and beautifully messy contradictions and things that go crunch crunch crunch in the pond – never drowning, always waving. Part 185 in the fractured quest, the on-going search for those electric eclectic diamonds and those shiny pieces of musical treasure lurking in the big pile of bug dust that’s as muddy as a muddy pig caught in a muddy landslide. We like to think that Organ is part of your on-going antidote to the average, that Organ is for you people who demand just a little bit more when you dip your shiny red painted toe into the devil’s pissy water. None of us look a bit like any religious icon and no one talks like a gentleman around here (watch him now, here he comes). So much good music and creativity out there if you can be bothered to go find it, you have to go find it though, it’s not going to come to you, you have to get involved. Here’s this week’s set of signposts and links, here are some of the things exciting us enough to make is want to shout about them again this week. Welcome once more to you weekly on-line pocket size version of Organ
IS THIS WHY YOU BOOKMARKED ME
Who is/are MIKROKOSMOS

CHRISTIAN HAYES, he who was once of Cardiacs, Levitation, Dark Star and before that Ring and his mysterious project that we all thought was lost for ever (you may remember a track on the Cardiacs and Affectionate Friends album we released - and a My Space page has just appeared.... 

About Mikrokosmos (from their My Space page) 

Man is ..Heaven and earth, and lower spheres, the four elements and whatever is within them, wherefore he is properly called by the name of Mikrokosmos, for he is the whole world ..Know then that there is also within man in his body a starry firmament with a mighty course of planets and stars that have exaltations, conjunctions and oppositions.. Paracelsus. The material presented here is from the album Mikrokosmos ~ In The Heart Of The Home, written and recorded by mikrokosmos on eight-track in the black winter of 1994 / 1995 at The Corridor, Shepherds Bush, West London, England. These songs have had a troubled existence. Believed lost for good after The Corridor was all but destroyed by a flood in the autumn of 1995 the tapes were thought to have been thrown into a skip in the hurried clean up operation. It wasn't until the summer of 1997 that they surfaced, returned anonymously by post to the studio. Some of the reels were water damaged others arrived crumpled  and unwound. After much painstaking restoration the songs were salvaged, transfered and mixed in the autumn of 1997. The masters were then put away and forgotten for another nine years. Although complete the album has never been released and these songs appear here for the very first time.  Hooray!

ONLINE RADIO STATION DANDELION TAKE OVER PEEL'S FESTIVE FIFTY - The people behind an internet radio station established in the memory of John Peel have announced they will be continuing Peel's traditional Festive Fifty this year. 

Organisers of Dandelion Radio explain: "John Peel started the Festive Fifty in 1976 as a listeners' poll of the best tracks of the year. It wasn't held the next year, resumed by popular demand in 1978, and has been held every year since, with an extra 'All Time Festive 50' in 1999. Radio One has decided not to continue with it this year, but some of John Peel's old programme team, feeling that the tradition should be kept alive, have asked internet station Dandelion Radio to take over the sleigh reins and keep it going. So this year, the Festive 50 continues on www.dandelionradio.com". Anyone can vote in the poll by visiting the below page on the station's website

'NEW ALBUMS WE’RE LISTENING TO THIS WEEK……
ALBUM OF THE WEEK

DUSTIN’S BAR MIZVAH – Get Your Mood On (Hungry Kid) - Mouth agape, shaking my head in sheer disbelief, I delightfully cope with the beautiful buzz of what I’m hearing. With no qualms what so ever, I can instantly state that Dustin’s Bar Mitzvah’s debut album the most horrendously good thing I’ve stumbled across (this week), would you like me to elaborate? Voices like bratty cockney weasels slamming through your door, guitars like having broken glass shoved in your fish, chips and jellied eels, songs that weld the ideas of melody, composition and rhythm with inspired bratty cocksure yelping and the overall cohesiveness of Cow Gum. Two of my friends come running in to see what it is, I feel embarrassed at not having told them before, shame on me, shame on me. 
        Brilliant, even better than staying home and listening to the Ramones, ignore the voices in your head or whatever you may have read. Gloriously leery shouty bratty youthful right-in-your-boat-race, cocky, confident, infectious, catchy, London punk rock brilliance. Frantic, mouthy, fast, very shouty mouthy shouty shouty shouty. If they weren’t in a band they’d be liberty taking shoplifting hooligans or ‘aving it large flogging hooky DVDs of Paddingtons gigs or doing time (or all three – actually they probably are doing all three already, as well as being in a band, well maybe not doing time, not yet anyway). Rambunctiously brilliant, the new Pin Ups! The real towers of London. Obnoxiously good, loveably obnoxious, butter wouldn’t melt in their (foul) mouths - angelic upstarts, cockney rejects. Pin ups pun ups, go go go, art bruts. Actually these songs are really seriously infectious, they really do have the cohesiveness of cow gum when they’re all gathered together like this. The Dustins know they can be cocky about it, they know they’ve got everything they need to back up the mouthy swagger. This is a great big told you so, ‘ave-some-of-that, wallop of a debut album. Dustin’s Bar Mitzvah just gathered together all their greatest hits, re-recorded versions of their already classic singles and chased them all down the road with a whole load of equally good new ones (like the excellent Catholic Boya). A brilliantly cocky stylish riot of a classic ’77 punk rock album – the real deal, you don’t really expect the real ’77 deal in this day and age do you? Well here it bleedin’ well is, pin ups, sorted, get yer very best mood on, oh yes, mouth agape indeed. I love it, you’ll love it, everyone will love it, incendiary exuberance. Late challenge for album of the year, out on December 4th go grab it. www.dustins.co.uk

ALBUM OF THE WEEK 2

CRIME IN CHOIR - Trumpery Metier (PPPPP) - Let's not beat about the bush. There's a long, involved, careful way to review this album. One that goes on about Crime In Choir's impeccable avant-underground American rock pedigree, namedropping the much-loved, genuine word-of-mouth bands that the musicians also happen to be in. Bands like At The Drive-In, The Mass, The F'ing Champs, Circus Lupus... words like 'compelling instrumental rock' and 'analogue keyboards' and 'energy' and 'humungous melodies' could also be bandied around.  And then, there's the quick way: It's prog! It's progging well prog.  It's bloody good progging well prog, with a proper seventies sound and none of that nasty post-punk influence that so many of those other young whippersnappers insist on distressing our more sensitive readers with.  I'll go one further: not only does it have that warm, glowing melodic analogue sound perfected by Camel and it has the energy and verve sorely lacking (sorry) from much of said band's output.  This is that gorgeous Canterbury scene sound - utterly late Seventies, embedded deep in the psyche of many of a later generation via the medium of TV theme tunes - played with perfect wide-awake freshness. There is nothing watered-down, ironic or apologetic to this album, it's honest love. And it doesn't matter if you've never heard of, let alone heard the music of Hatfield And The North, UK, Soft Machine, IQ, Zag and the Coloured Beads, Tangerine Dream, or National Health: Crime In Choir have achieved a strange timelessness with their sound. They've absorbed the good things that draw people to those original bands - the arrangements, the instrumentation, the fearless appreciation of melody - but deliver them with a naturalness and, frankly, balls, that is completely contemporary. 
     It should be no surprise that this has emerged from the astonishing current Californian avant-rock scene: yet another example of something in the water around SF and Oakland. Founded in 2000, Crime In Choir is something of a supergroup, consisting of Kenny Hopper and Jarrett Wrenn (ex At The Drive-In) on piano/keyboards and guitar respectively, Jesse Reiner (also in Citay) on synthesisers, Tim Soete (also in the F*cking Champs) on drums, Matt Waters (singer and Sax player in The Mass) on sax, with Seth Lorinczi of Circus Lupus and The Quails providing studio bass.  "Trumpery Metier" is nine splendid tracks, no filler, of bright, rich lead-line-driven melody. There's a tiny bit of mathy business but counting never, ever takes the place of tunes - each composition is deceptively simple to the ear, almost innocent, the great musicianship entirely subservient to the tune and the interplay of string machine (mmm, sounds like a Logan), lead-line synth, unashamedly melodic lead guitar. More than once, it's seriously reminiscent of the soundtrack to The Long Good Friday (hmm, wasn't the composer in a Canterbury scene band? Curved Air?)  Hang on, hang on... just got to the final track again, "Octopus In The Piano"... what can I say?  WHAT A TUNE!  I'm sitting here grinning like a lunatic. Aside from getting a five-P rating, I don't care what music you're into, this is so accessible only a total curmudgeon can resist it.  It's just plain enjoyable. It's not out in the UK until Jan 8th 2007 (via Cargo distribution), so in the meantime I'm going torment certain of my miserable, skeptical, non-believing-in-new-bands P-head friends by playing it down the phone at them, cackle. Or there may be a download or two at www.crimeinchoir.net

ALSO CHECK OUT 
THE KNIVES OF NEPTUNE – Lakes (D Star) - A crammed packed full album, a concept album, big bold brave epic expansive rock. An album for fans of Muse or Cave-In or My Chemical Romance or early Marillion or Smashing Pumpkins – one of those albums where it all works as one great big Misplaced Childhood style whole of a track. My Chemical Romance with the epic boldness and thankfully without the emo clichés. Grandiose slices of soaring melody and bold bombastic adventure. The Knives Of Neptune are from Melbourne, Australia, a four-piece band armed with extra horns, gongs, timpani and a choral section, here’s the link if you’re curious. www.myspace.com/theknivesofneptune

SWAD – 10am The Sky is Blue (Casket) - Stop all buses and boats and grab a slice of this, been out a couple of months in the UK but hey, when did we ever give a flying bottle of Donnington urine about release dates and crap like that? We are after all only here for the music, it’s not like this is cream cheese at the back of the slug infested fridge and useless once the release date is more than two weeks ago. Anglo French rock and a debut album from a band with more than a slice of Kepone/Melvins style alternativeness lacing their fine sound. Let’s throw some stolen words like “rasping”, “confrontational”, “rageful”, urgent (we didn’t steal that one) at it and hey, impressive stuff. Alternative metal-edged rock that immediately demands attention with that rather classy imaginative Melvins edge it attacks you with – www.myspace.com/swadband

  MEDIA
IQ – Stage DVD (Giant Electric Pea) - A well packaged, good-looking DVD. If you're into IQ, this is a pretty satisfying item. You get two well-authored DVDs in a decent fold-out case; the first is their July 2005 performance at famed US progressive and avant rock festival Nearfest, the second at the Burg Herzberg festival, Germany. The footage and editing is, unlike so many live DVDs coming our way, nicely produced - which is to say it doesn't cut every bloody second as if its a car ad, it doesn't boom the camera pointlessly across the stage over and over again, and cheesy effects are absent. Clean, thoughtful old-school editing, where you get time to see the band's performance, and a tasteful use of split screen that actually works. The Nearfest gig looks good, and IQ are sounding better than I've heard in a long time (and their new drummer Andy Edwards is great). However, the outdoor German gig shows them looking more relaxed on stage, more like the band that was blowing the roof off packed tiny venues in the 80s - the make up has been swapped for video projections, these days. Actually, those projections suit IQ down to the ground, they’re done well. Highlights are It All Stops Here at Nearfest and Awake And Nervous at Herzberg (and special mention to Laurence the roadie's Prog As FCUK t-shirt). There's a few extras - a soundcheck, some backstage home movie stuff.  All in all, a pretty pleasing thing for any IQ afficionado to possess. www.gep.co.uk/iq

SINGLES
SINGLE OF THE WEEK
GIANT PAW – Early Riser/Something Around A (Feral Electronics/Absynthe Art) – What is this? Is it a limited edition two track CD that comes in inspiringly fine packaging or is it a limited edition screen printed artcard that just happens to come with a good looking CD inside? (the artwork extends to the on-body CD print). Whichever way around it is, it’s all one rather fine inspiring whole. Limited to just 200 copies (ours is number 98), high quality screen printing, so good to handle, so good to look at, you really want the music to be good enough to compliment the fine artwork (by Chin Keeler of Glass Shrimp), you really want this to work as a whole, please please make the music as good as the art.  The music does, the music is, all is good – locked-on electronica, two nice long trancy krautish locked-on mellowed out primal screams. Metal Box flavoured tracks that build up and hold you in so so well, indeed the second builds in to a subtle razor-edged confrontation. Early Riser is like Can on Neu playing US alt.country rock and relaxed morning Californian Kowolski style desert drive, whistling away without a care in the world (or maybe every care? What do they need to rise so early, where do they need to get? Who they leaving behind?) only no, that’s just the feel, we’re really on the N29 Northbound in London and we’ve been to the Lock and what does this girl really want? This is rather excellent (hope it’s just a tale), would be anyway without all the art and the card, the music itself would be enough (hope the account didn’t get cleared out). The almost nine minutes of Something Around is a little more frenzied than Early Riser, Something sets sail to different destinations and courses that change at the least distraction, way out past just another boring drug song. Both tracks are rather fine and this whole thing comes highly recommended. Treat yourself and Investigate via www.giantpaw.co.uk

THE OXFAM GLAMOUR MODELS – 8 Cans Yeah (Marquis Cha Cha) – Finally getting around to following up to their very fine debut (Organ single of the week and loved petty much by everyone everywhere). Kick Out The Grams was a fine declaration of intent, this time it’s broken mobile phones, fractured 8 packs of youthful romance and cheapskate larger out of the local supermarket, that and shots at/celebrations of fake London accents (they’re from Middlesborough). There goes something about Jonathan Ross and indeed Yevgeny Zamyatin, clever-ass situationists . Spiky and shouty and pointy indie/artrock and indeed more art brutness, doesn’t quite bite like the first time around and Dustin’s Bar Mitzvah have stolen everyone’s thunder this week. Actually B-side, Book Club, is probably the more demanding of the two tracks – a fine follow up single then, not quite as good as their debut, still worth your time and hard earned though, better than pissing it all up against the wall anyway. www.oxfamglamourmodels.com / www.marquischacha.co.uk

RIP CRUNCHER'S VIDEO OF THE WEEK 

ABBA attempting to be like Pink Floyd?, what the Hell's he/she on about? If this had been layered with a few guitars and a monster bass I can imagine it sounding like Iron Maiden can't you?...i.e preposterous lyrics, soaring mock falsetto vocals & tight leather trousers? (oh...plus the eagles etc). And I'm damned f****n' sure Anna-Frid supports West Ham anyway...

RIP CRUNCHER'S VIDEO OF THE WEEK has been removed  again, this time by the authorities at YouTube - normal service next week I should think.... but then again who knows
