Baby Mammoth's Seven Up has got some of the craftiest down-tempo electronica going--not one dud track anywhere here. First heard this on Soma.fm's Groove Salad, where it has been in heavy rotation, for good reason. I highly recommend this release. |

Excellent hard-bop outing by Coltrane with the Red Garland Trio backing him up on this one. Russian Lullaby is a great early example John Coltrane's "sheets of sound"style that he was just beginning to explore at this time -- Coltrane actually thought the name of the song was "Rushin' Lullaby." All the '57-'58 stuff Coltrane did with pianist Red Garland &c is good, and unfortunately often overlooked in the glare of his blistering later work. |

Great post-bop romp of Tyner's originals with Joe Henderson on tenor sax, Ron Carter on bass, drummer Elvin Jones on drums, and of course McCoy Tyner, on the piano. Tyner and Jones were members of John Coltrane's classic quartet from 1961 to 1965 and Ron Carter was playing in Miles Davis "second great quintet," when this was recorded in 1967. These four giants of the 1960s jazz scene have arranged a minor masterpiece here. |

Meat Beat Manifesto 99% | 5.0 |
This is one of the most gritty and disturbing techno-industrial assaults that ever wound around a tape post. After listening to this it might might feel like you need a shower to get the grime off--but it won't help. From the insane Jim Morrison incantations leading into MBM's big-beat machine bomp of "All The Things You Are" to the realization that as "Helter Skelter" kicks into high gear those yelps are from Alex's brainwashing from A Clockwork Orange -- the ELP brain-searing synths that close out the anthemic Psyche Out, this is a recording that gets under your skin, literally. A seminal and highly influential exercise in industrial electronica and big beat drum sounds that's way ahead of its time. |
