/Welcome to the Future/136/Livestreams and new release round-up/24-Jul 2020
We keep going amid the lockdown. There are new releases, and still, new music coming through, and buying music right now is the only way we can help. The events listing is still being updated, but obviously, an awful lot is being postponed, cancelled or changed right now.
/Tuesday Ten/416/Tracks of the Month/Jun-20
Into July, the lockdown is easing a bit, but there is still the concern of a resurgence. So we wait it out some more, a long-overdue pledge to help fund the arts sector has been made (although there are still concerns, frankly), so with no live events, there is seemingly ever more music to listen […]
/Welcome to the Future/128/Livestreams and new release round-up/29-May 2020
We keep going in the lockdown. There are new releases, and still new music coming through, and buying music right now is the only way we can help. The events listing is still being updated, but obviously an awful lot is being postponed, cancelled or changed right now.
/Transmission/005/the a-z of industrial/d
The fifth part of Transmission, the a-z of industrial. This continues our look at industrial bands beginning with “d”, and it’s a mix of new and old.
Countdown: 2011: Tracks
This is the eighth year that I’ve done a rundown of the music released in the past year – and every year I seem to end up with more material to cover.
But Listen: 112: Dismantled – The War Inside Me
We appear to be in something of a transitional period in the scene nominally called “industrial”. Many bands I have looked upon as relative newcomers for some time have now been around for five or ten years, few new bands are coming through, and even the clubs and DJs appear unclear on what they want […]
Tuesday Ten: 127: Tracks of the Month (March 2011)
Where on earth is time going? Time once again for my usual monthly roundup of great new songs.
Into the Pit: 092: Combichrist – Live at the Electric Ballroom – 04-August 2010
I did wonder whether my evening was going to be cursed, after the heavens opened in biblical fashion while standing in the queue, with nowhere to shelter from the pouring rain. And then there was the poorly organised queue, with a lengthy wait to collect tickets that had been pre-booked. Surely, with all the technology […]
/Countdown/2000s/Tracks/80-61
Further to last week, it’s time to move onto the next stage of my rundown of the last decade.
Tuesday Ten: 064: Do You Remember The First Time?
As I said last week, I have suddenly had a short flush of inspiration for these Tuesday Tens at the moment. This one has taken me weeks to collate, gave me lots of ideas, and perhaps even more music to re-evaluate. This week it's about debut albums, and in particular ones I really like or […]
Tuesday Ten: 034: Tracks of the Month (March 2008)
Another month, another quick run-down of my favourite tracks of the past month.
But Listen: 035: Dismantled – Standard Issue
It’s amazing how things change. I’m all for bands evolving, and changing, and perhaps even maturing. It isn’t always all that popular with the fans, who may like the first album or whatever, and want them to continue in that vein. The creative process doesn’t always work like that, though, and some artists vanish into […]
