CHECK OUT BJØRN TORSKE TRACK AT PITCHFORK
May 31, 2007Comments Off
Now you can check out one of the tracks from Bjørn Torske`s upcoming Feil Knapp album at Pitchfork http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/page/forkcast/43270-bjrn-torske-mljekalas-mp3 here.And this is what they say about it: “Something about this track from the Norwegian house producer’s forthcoming album Fiel Knapp reminds me of “Stop 4 Love” by Basement Jaxx. Part of it’s the efficiency of the thing, the way Torske, like the Jaxx before him, milks a startling amount of poignancy from just a couple chords. But it’s also the way the track provides bright space for relaxed contemplation in the middle of a dance-oriented record. Everything here is so simple and clean and bright– the pitter-patter bongos, couple notes on guitar, and bass that lingers a half-step behind the beat, like, hey, what’s the hurry? And then it’s back to those two chords, as they continue to nudge all negative energy upward, pointing toward what you know is a clear blue sky.” (Pitchfork)

ANOTHER GREAT SUNKISSED REVIEW: 5 OUT 6 IN TIME OUT LONDON
May 29, 2007Comments Off
Everybody seem to love the Sunkissed compilationn and raving reviews keeps coming in every day! Today a great 5 out of 6 review came in from Time Out London. “G-Ha and Olanskii are regulars at Fabric, but this is the sound of Norwegian electronica, space disco and percussive, rockin` dance tunes as championed at their seven-year-old club in Oslo. As the name of their label suggests, from small scene(s) a lot of super sounds and artists have emerged, of which Todd Terje, Lindstrom, Prins Thomas, Lindbaek (all of whom deliver remixes) and Bjorn Torske are most familiar, but there are many great, mostly littleknown tracks to savour” (5/6 Time Out London)
ORIGINAL SILENCE: GREAT TIME OUT LONDON REVIEW!
May 28, 2007Comments Off
"This wryly titled offering from Thurston Moore, Jim O`Rourke and two members of Nordic free-jazzers The Thing, among others, is a 60-minute(two-track) slab of awesomely intense, wholly improvised avant noise. It represents the appeal of extreme improv from Boredoms to SunnO))) – thus at what at first might appear as an impenetrable wall slowly opens up to reveal perversely beautiful wormholes of melody, rythm and texture. Not for the faint-hearted or the fragile-eared – or those in shared housing, perhaps – but still hugely thrilling" (4/6 Time Out London)

TWO BANDS AND A LEGEND: GREAT BBC REVIEW
May 19, 2007Comments Off
The ultimate garage mauling.It’s no surprise that Thurston Moore digs these two combos deeply, providing a rabidly enthusiastic sleeve endorsement. Norway’s Cato Salsa Experience are indeed nothing of the sort: instead, they rawk with overloaded guitars like mangled girders, compressed into intricate gargoyle gobbets. Their collaboration with Scandinavian free jazz mayhem countrymen The Thing, plus blurting Stateside hornman Joe McPhee results in a beautifully excessive cataclysm, as this Antichrist assemblage contorts tunes by PJ Harvey, James Blood Ulmer and The Cramps, also giving Louie, Louie its ultimate garage mauling. (4/5, BBC)
