The Finest of 2010

    

 I VIGILANTE (Crippled Black Phoenix)

Delivering on their early promise this is a staggering exercise in Dark Progressive
Post Rock. Wonderfully recorded without any polish or gloss-this ain't Linkin Park,
baby. An immersive experience...

RECITATION (Envy)

Whoever named the genre Screamo is totally clueless. It refers only to vocal stylings
but not to the music. After 4 years of absence the Japanese outfit has returned with a
statement of intent with this post rock/post core masterpiece (with "screamo" vocals)

THE PROS AND CONS OF EATING OUT (Lupen Crook)

Feeling right at home with his band. Punky, Folky, Uncompromising...
Even namedropping Schrodinger's Cat-now I understand the connection...
Love him to bits!

ROAD SALT ONE (Pain of Salvation)

Stunning opus from chameleonic Swedes. Not just bluesy this time around
but quite eclectic. Witness some of the best vocals in rock business. Daniel
Gildenlow must be some sort of subgenious...

BECALMED (Sophia Hutchings)

Mesmerising debut from Australian performance pianist and composer.
Subtle but atmospheric production lifts these musical compositions to
another level. And she is so young...
