On top of having an amazing career playing keyboards and piano for Yes, Rick Wakeman also made a few records of magnificent quality.
[Music] Gianni Venturi / Lucien Moreau – Moloch
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.
[Music] Lubomyr Melnyk feat. Mionia – I Love You (Catedral de Viseu, Portugal, 4 Julho 2015)
I grew up around a piano. I dated an Italian pianist (ugh). My priests all played piano. I damn near lost interest in the instrument until I stumbled onto the work of Lubomyr Melnyk a few years ago. The piano has been beautifully redeemed thanks to the sheer beauty, intricacy and power of his work.

[Music] Charbel Haber ~ Of Palm Trees and Decomposition — a closer listen
A captivating painting of intensity, simplicity and ambiguity makes for a perfect cover to this LP, the work of a Lebanese musician whom ACL has indirectly covered before. Charbel Haber is part of Johnny Kafta Anti-Vegetarian Orchestra, an improv punk group whose self-titled album our own David enjoyed last year – but he is also […]

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.
