CONJOINT A FEW EMPTY CHAIRS

BÜRO 

CD

€14.80
"conjointsees david moufang (aka move d) joined by karl berger, rult kraus and jamie hodge. having been making music since the late fifties, karl berger is undoubtedly the veteran of the conjoint gang bringing his consummate vibraphone skills which were honed through years working alongside the likes of don cherry, ornette coleman, lee konitz, bill laswell and george clinton. jamie hodge is a chicago born digital manipulator whose first release back in 1994 on richie hawtin's plus8 label became an instant classic ('born under a rhyming planet'). backing these two up is guitarist gunther ruit kraus, a well-respected jazz musician from heidelberg, germany and move d whose source recordings was the initial catalyst behind the conjoint project."

FONODA EVENTUALLY

BÜRO 

CD

€14.80
"with their debut album blinker:farben, fonoda plundered their collection for influences -- pulling in threads from the likes of slint, mogwai and low, then weaving it into an evocative tapestry that was both melancholic and beautifully optimistic. reduced from a four piece into a trio, the revised line up of florian dölzer (drums), matthias neuefeind (guitar) and christian unerti (bass) now release eventually, calling upon drum tracks recorded in 2003 as the bedrock for inspiration. the shimmering cowl of "not dead, just sleeping (they are)" and "silence means disease" recalls the likes of sigur rós or mogwai crossed with slowdive, the latter track allowing some tender vocals just enough room to breathe between the bombastic choruses. "stone cold seconds" employs a waterlogged beat, whilst album closer "last folder" is a towering epic that gives mogwai a run for their post-rock money." (label info)

NISHIMOTO, TAKESHI MONOLOGUE

BÜRO 

CD

€14.80
"born in japan, takeshi nishimoto grew up in new york and later moved to los angeles. as a student in the university of southern california guitar program, takeshi gained a firm foundation in the classical tradition from some of the world's premiere guitar players such as james smith, scott tennant, bill kanengizer, and brian head. in addition to european classical music, nishimoto also explored jazz with joe diorio and david oaks. together with john tejada, he formed the band "i'm not a gun", with which he released 3 albums on cco and toured extensively. in 2005, he moved to berlin/germany. this is his first solo album. takeshi nishimoto's new album represents what every artist should strive for through the recording process; the subtle combination of innocent meanderings and musical dexterity. in doing so he proves that the actual talent for composing is far more important than the relentless studies of those viewed as sacred artists - something that is oft overlooked within the more academic sectors of the musical community. as the musical world becomes ever more vast, those with originality and a distinctive expression become all the more treasured."

ONE SECOND BRIDGE S/T

BÜRO 

CD

€14.80
"forming the backbone of this release, these bouts of musical improvisation in no way indicate an album full of wandering compositions or half-baked ideas. rather, the one second bridge ethos verges on the melody-drenched output of classic 4ad or even morr's slowdive tributes. opening with the self-titled "one second bridge," garcia and bieniaszewski roam into view against a watercolor backdrop of basinksi-styled decaying soundscapes, before the contrast is drawn to the foreground through chiming acoustic guitars and a heat-haze of effects that leave everything tantalizingly out of reach. from here, the next stop is effects layered post-rock on the appropriately titled "no.2," wherein mogwai's "somewhere nice" is given a bright-eyed rinse-down and comes out the other side with a genuine spring in its step that is both infectious and deeply moving. elsewhere, "um minuto" uses some satie-inspired piano to poignant effect, "keep on falling" manages to reference both badalamenti and slowdive without becoming overawed, whilst "alt.ending" sees you out on a blush of choral rectitude. a gorgeous album that wears its grandness with astonishing ease."

TIJUANA MON AMOUR BROADCASTING INC. COLD JUBILEE (OF THE SNOWQUEEN)

BÜRO 

CD

€14.80
"for the first time ever, tmab add lyrics to their instrumental kingdom. "living in the future" is the first example of this new approach. "we've been making music for quite some time now", says matthias petzold. "you suddenly realize the urge to acuminate your musical ideas. for once, you want to really bring across what you want to express, what you want to say". adding a well-versed voice to their musical vision, "cold jubilee" flows better than ever, despite the fact that flow has always been the core of tmab's sound. heavily influenced by film scores in general and by the aspiration to merge sound and images (and vice versa) in particular, the members of the band always have images in their heads when writing and recording music."
