Shiyugosha - Equinoxe
From the album, "Equilibre"
Definitely an interesting pick. Shiyugosha sort of jumps between simple hip hop beats and simple post-rockish type melodies. Probably to the detriment of the album, neither side are fleshed out enough in my opinion. He creates simple, heavy stuff using his guitar and a few drum beats with some solid production every now and then to keep things interesting. It is definitely worth a check out, but it's pretty heavy, laden, slow stuff that's best reserved late at night. Has some subtle Asian-esque 70s samurai movie stylings, which is always a plus. Okay album, nothing amazing.
MRR-ADM - 009
Untitled release.
Winner winner. The real highlight here is Malcom Catto's drumming. Deceptively simple at times, and although this probably isn't the best song to highlight it, one of the foremost funk drummers going around. Love his stuff, and this album is no exception. Only 1000 vinyls pressed of this one, and nearly every track (Out of 6) is a killer. Got a very nice groove beat throughout the entire thing. Definitely recommend a try, even if only the youtube vids of all the tracks.
Third and last pick for the evening!
Gomma Workshop - My Heart The Spoon
Music made for his short animations. It really is quite an interesting album, made up of 1000s of different, random sounds. Despite what it was made for, it is extremely fluid and well developed either way.
