Peter Robinson’s new releases review
guardian.co.uk – Jul 28, 2007
To be fair With Every Heartbeat is completely irresistible: the sound of one woman’s desolation to a thumping beat. Electronic music sometimes revels brilliantly in its own meaninglessness. ther times as here it hits the spot when it stops being about nothing turns its nose up at being about just something and effortlessly manages to be about absolutely everything. Beyoncé Green Light (Freemasons remix) (Sony) Having remixed to within an inch of their life every single so far from B-Day Brighton-based production outfit the Freemasons have a relationship with the current Beyoncé album which is not so much an example of polishing a turd as a masterclass in applying a lifetime’s worth of disco-scented Windolene to an lympic swimming pool full of tired R&B horse dung. And so as is now traditional Green Light gets the Freemasons treatment and as a result some radio airplay.
The Gauntlet :: Red Harvest – Heavy Metal – News – Red Harvest Videos…

As the title suggests the album deals with a lot of dark elements in the human nature. The Gauntlet: Would you say this is one of Red Harvest’s heavier releases to date?Ketil: Yes we chose to slow down the tempo in the music a little in order to create more atmosphere but yes again; this album is more pure when it comes to both metal elements more alternative elements and the electronic elements. The Gauntlet: Plenty bands of heavy nature mention that they listen to a lot of metal as influence and not to become one sided with their musical approaches and there are many influences surrounding Red Harvest what are some of the styles that you enjoy the most that you hear working their way into Red Harvest songs?Ketil: f course we like a lot of metal bands but we also like electronic music and alternative music. We are five persons in the band and I think a lot of the reason why we sound like we do is because all five of us listen to a lot of different music styles and bands so when we get together to create Red Harvest music we find ourselves in a big melting pot. The Gauntlet: As always the lyrical content has a lot to do with the mood of the album as a whole what are some of the concepts you incorporated into the album?Ketil: The album deals with the darker sides of the human mind. The side you hardly ever show other people. I think we all live double lives in many ways and the world is full of people that would like to be different or do something else if they had the possibility.

n Beaucoup Fish however that sound slips around tracks that do more than patiently await the next thick coat of rhythm building simple songs into a digitized epic whole. There are eruptions of ecstatic melody on songs such as “Jumbo” while jerky dance tracks such as “Bruce Lee” open whole new avenues for bursting layers of rhythmic ambience. Underworld are doomed to be haunted forever by “Born Slippy” (popularized via the Trainspotting soundtrack) the world’s first international rave anthem yet Beaucoup Fish goes well beyond such timely phenomena and works instead to free electronic music from its computer-age constraints. –Matthew CookeCustomer Reviews:.

The tour coincides with the forthcoming biography about Kilbey entitled No Certainty Attached and the second Church acoustic album in the Liberation Blue Series titled El Momento Siguiente. Sydney-based Kilbey's career has been eclectic and prolific – as a songwriter musician producer poet and painter. Running in parallel has been Kilbey's band The Church. Their 20 albums from guitar-pop jangle to ever-evolving neo-psychedelic dreamscapes began with their 1981 debut f Skins and Hearts featuring The Unguarded Moment. 1988's Starfish album was a worldwide smash – a timeless collection of enchanting songs led by Under The Milky Way reaching the Billboard Top 20.
