LIGHT CORPORATION out of Poland are quickly becoming one of my favorite progressive rock bands. They meld together influences like King Crimson and Univers Zero, while adding a touch of something new. That they are being released on Chris Cutler’s legendary record label, Recommended, says a lot about the quality of their music.
Visit the band’s website here for more information.

POPPY NOGOOD – Music For Mourning (Preserved Sound, 2016) Aver mutuato il proprio alias dal titolo di un album di Terry Riley racconta già molto circa il profilo di un artista e le sue finalità espressive. Poppy Nogood è un violinista americano, iniziato al proprio strumento poco dopo aver imparato a camminare, la cui esperienza artistica […]
The Durutti Column produced what I feel is one of the most perfectly atmospheric albums ever made, crossing post-punk, jazz and ambient music.
In honor of the Spanish legends, whom I was unable to go see, here’s a track by Esplendor Geométrico.
Thanks to Ryant, who saw the show on my behalf, and Enzo Notorio, who posted this originally.
From our friends at Silber Media:
Hello,
I hope you are doing well. Things are going well in Silberia at the moment, no one is sick for the first time in a while. Things in life have taken weird turns with me ending up with five part time jobs (plus Silber!), but bills seem to be getting paid & the stability has made me not be so stressed out as I have been the past year so I’m finally getting in the right space to be able to get some Silber work done. So suddenly, bam! Three new releases this week & probably a few more next week (maybe earlier with some of them).
We’ve been working with Yellow6 a lot over the past couple of years & I wish we’d been working with him longer. The new micro-EP/single Springsun is a recording from a couple months ago of loop driven ambient guitar drone. Great stuff worth checking out.

Chvad SB has been working on Phenomenalism, Cartesian Doubt and Bomb #20 for a couple years & I’d almost given up on it coming to fruition. Chvad built a modular synth capable of self-generating musical pieces & putting it together & taking it apart was part of the collaboration process between man & machine on this piece influenced by classic sci-fi movies about the nature of artificial intelligence as well as their soundtracks.

The 5in5 series is back & launching this batch (I think there are about ten coming out in the next few weeks) is Anda Volley. I’m kinda surprised I never ran into Anda before as she lived in NC back in the 1990s, but I’m glad to have run into her now. The music on Paper Moon is in the vein of some of the 1980s avant pop stuff like Laurie Anderson or Siouxsie and the Banshees. If it sounds interesting, it only takes 5 minutes t listen, so check it out.

For you Spotify users, I am doing my best to keep a fresh playlist of the ten latest releases from Silber on it. Follow the playlist & I think Spotify will tell you when I add stuff to it.

Working on the next issue of QRD which will include some more entries in our fathers interviews as well as some interviews with guitarist, touring musicians, & cartoonists. Hope to be getting that out shortly as well. Ads start at $5 if you are interested.
Thank you for your interest & support, it really does help me to keep things going. Spread the word on social media about anything you think is interesting or cool. If you want to be taken off the mailing list just let me know.
Vice Magazine is terrible for politics now. However, whoever is editing their music articles is going sterling work. We continue on introducing readers to SPK, courtesy of this article posted by Moe Bishop here.
The song featured above, Retard, is from SPK’s album, Auto Da Fé.
Graeme Revell was the founder of Industrial music’s most brutal group, SPK. He went from using pieces of metal and grinders to making dark movie soundtracks, and has made a great name for himself in Hollywood.
Pantograph-Punch has a full article on Graeme’s career development here.
One of the more intriguing releases to pass my desktop in some time. Ferrara, Italy’s Gianni Venturi and Lucien Moreau describe their work here:
Art. Music. Poetry. MOLOCH is the conjunction point between two artists and their visions. A collaborative work about the concepts of capitalism, humankind, ancient cultures, freedom, with an eastern flavor and a hint of madness. But also a due tribute to great icons, such as Allen Ginsberg and William Blake. Electronic orchestral music meets poetry and words with a strong cinematic result.
Hello,
I hope all is going well. It’s been a few years in the making, but QRD finally launched the touring musician interview series (featuring Alan Sparhawk of Low, Phil Dole of Chord, Shane DeLeon of Miss Massive Snowflake, Chris Brokaw of Lemonheads, Mkl Anderson of Drekka, & a few more). Let me know what you think of the series & if I should keep it going. This issue also has feature interviews with M is We & Lycia as well as a label owner interview with Manuel of Records Ad Nauseum & a cartoonist interview with Larry Johnson & a couple short stories from Phil Dole & Nathan Amundson. Spread the word about whatever interview is your favorite if you can.

In the music news front there is a ton of stuff about to happen. Releases from Chvad SB, Bronze Eye+LD, Yellow6, Anda Volley, Moodring, Electric Bird Noise, Hotel Hotel, Dyr Faser, M is We, & a ton of others are all about to happen given I figure out how to balance time well enough to get press releases & promotions ready. So keep an eye out on social media & your inbox for when those things happen. I’ll be sending newsletters out a little more often than every two months once releases start kicking out every couple of weeks.
If you need one inch buttons made, I added a new option where you get 35 buttons with up to 35 different designs for $17 plus shipping. Great option for people with a lot of design ideas, but not ready to commit to the typical requirement of 100 buttons per design. Get the template & more info at www.silbermedia.com/buttons/custom.shtml
That’s it for me for now.
Thank you for your interest & support, I couldn’t do it without you. If you want to be taken off the mailing list just let me know.
