Recent Review Favorites
Here are my favorite tracks from the albums I’ve reviewed over the past week on this website. The artists are in the order I reviewed them, with the songs in my order of preference.
Blue Sausage Infant – “Flight of the Solstice Queens”
This second and title track to Blue Sausage Infant’s 14th (if my math is correct) album (Zeromoon) evokes a dark, sinister Neu! or even Faust or Can.
Blue Sausage Infant – “Ashtray Man”
Noise rock in the style of The Cows or Butthole Surfers, especially after the vocals kick in.
Blue Sausage Infant – “Radiant Arc”
Spacey Krautrock bliss.
Blue Sausage Infant – “The Sentimental Communist”
Very rhBand/Yen Pox sounding extended finale.
Blue Sausage Infant – “Space”
Reminiscent of CCCC‘s wall-of-static seizure-inducing sound.
Neorev – “Force”
Frantic drum & bass using Arabic scales from Neorev’s debut, Lines & Shapes (Midi Bear/Norotek).
Neorev – “The Stars Above Us”
Krautrock-y electronica in the vein of Kluster or Harmonia.
Neorev – “No Turning Back”
Begins as a boss-battle soundtrack for some unspecified videogame, then segues into Krautrock ecstasy halfway through.
Neorev – “Another Cloudy Day”
The final track of the album continues where “No Turning Back” left off – a dreamy come-down track.
Neorev – “Oh No!”
Aggressive opener that recalls Lords of Acid and/or My Life With the Thrill Kill Kult.
