Vast Robot Armies’ Studio Diary – Day Three
3 of my favorite days. Christmas mornings. I’m a full on ‘Clark-Griswald-Ralphie-Parker’ Christmas loving idiot. Recording Days. No one rides the line between complete doubt-based anxiety and baseless bravado better than me. On these types of days. Gig Days. So here we were on Recording Day eve. I was up, showered, and re-packed by 8:15am.…

Review: A Winged Victory for the Sullen – Atomos
Atomos is a score written for a contemporary dance piece created by Wayne McGregor whose Random Dance company are at the forefront of modern dance. As a long term fan of ambient neo-classical I was really looking forward to hearing this record. We were given a glimpse of what might be on offer earlier…

Review: Flaming Lips & Fwends – With a little help from my fwends
After absconding from Sloucher in late April, I was roped in to review once again for that fat twat and his cohorts. I had a good time reviewing EPs by real bands a couple of weeks ago and then I heeded the call to review a new Flaming Lips album. How bad could it be?…

Vast Robot Armies’ Studio Diary – Day Two
(Author’s Note – again. Remember when I said I would be less verbose for the upcoming entries. Ya, maybe not. But don’t worry, all the “what happens in the studio stuff?” is coming. It all ramps up from Day 3-12) I awoke in the Agee household. Everyone in that house was now very aware that…

Review: Smashing Pumpkins – Adore (re-issue)
In what has become a very canny move by Billy Corgan, the Smashing Pumpkins reissues continue apace. Next up, Adore, the oft maligned follow up to the monster that was Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness. It has become a canny move for many reasons. Corgan himself said he has had to fight tooth and…

Vast Robot Armies’ Studio Diary – Day One
(Author’s note – subsequent days will be less verbose, as back ground is needed to give context) Let it be known: I hate flying. I hate the whole deal, start to finish. I hate the subway to the airport. I hate the inevitable wait for the boarding. I hate the moment the airline representative comes…

Review: Withershins – Mt. Fuji in Blue
The vastness of space is hard to pin down as a sound. Sure, there are those sweet, scary sounds the NASA says are “the sounds of space“, but what does space actually sounds like? We probably have mentioned that lovely genre called Space Rock a few times with bands like The Life and Times, The…
