Jonathan Crossley And The Chase Of Sound

Read "Jonathan Crossley And The Chase Of Sound" reviewed by Mick Raubenheimer


South African-born, UK-based guitarist Jonathan Crossley's 2022 release Inhale is an amalgam of influences, from post-rock to jazz to math rock to electronica, all woven into a genre unto itself. Time signatures shift effortlessly and, indeed, any one time signature is played around with, Crossley's guitar and Jonno Sweetman's drums hopping from just behind to just ...

Herbie Hancock: Thrust

Read "Herbie Hancock: Thrust" reviewed by Mick Raubenheimer


Haters can hate, but that molten decade sprung between the mid-Sixties and mid-Seventies was a smorgasbord of innovation and adventure in music. While the heady spirit of freedom—and hyper-stimuli of psychedelics—didn't exactly wreak genius upon the average human mind (whose imaginative reach crested at tie-dye shirts, living in tepees, and emancipating body hair), original artists went ...

Miles Davis: Bitches Brew

Read "Miles Davis: Bitches Brew" reviewed by Mick Raubenheimer


Bitches Brew, (Columbia, 1970) 52 years old this year, can be seen as the elder statesman of jazz fusion, but old it is not, trapped, or rather insulated as it is in its youthfully electric vortex. This ink is daunting. In preparing to tease this retrospective into view, I am listening to Bitches Brew for the ...

Guy Buttery: A Trio Of Heart

Read "Guy Buttery: A Trio Of Heart" reviewed by Mick Raubenheimer


Renowned for his--by all accounts--wondrous musicianship, expressed predominantly on guitar, Buttery is admired not only for virtuosic technique, but a subtle and highly emotive melodic sensibility, which often evokes an air of spirituality. Following his multi-award winning seventh album, aptly entitled Guy Buttery--as, at the time, it felt like his most personal to date (see the ...

Read "Stranger Things: Kate Bush And The Forest Of A Thousand Tongues" reviewed by Mick Raubenheimer


The arrival of '80s-flavoured teen Sci-fi-meets-Lovecraft Netflix series Stranger Things 4th season has shed unexpected fresh light on one of the more reclusive and fascinating female singer-songwriters of the last four decades, Kate Bush, via crucial use of her 1985 hit “Running Up That Hill (Deal with God)." The use of the song in pivotal moments ...

Tom Waits: Ringmaster Of The Elegant Riot

Read "Tom Waits: Ringmaster Of The Elegant Riot" reviewed by Mick Raubenheimer


[For Tammi Tam.] Somewhere change is jingling, there is an accordion moaning softly in some corner somewhere, a barstool is creaking--somewhere foul glasses are being grimly emptied... The dark eerie carnival is rising once more--hurry your children into safe dreams, lock the wine cabinet; tuck your long-lost sweethearts into forgettance. Tom Waits ...

Zappa and the burning strings

Read "Zappa and the burning strings" reviewed by Mick Raubenheimer


Zappa. A glimpse. The composition was entering its fifth mood, a diabolical, gleeful, lurching rhythm, led by deep-plowed violin. The song was “Revised Music for Violin and Low Budget Orchestra," it was written for Jean-Luc Ponty by Frank Zappa. A new instrument dawned into my framework as that composition wheezed and moaned and ranted ...

Givan Lotz and the phenomenal psyche

Read "Givan Lotz and the phenomenal psyche" reviewed by Mick Raubenheimer


Givan Lotz is mysterioso. During the course of eight years as a recording and performing artist he has evaded any kind of viable categorization, each new release effortlessly slips free of perceived prior apprehensions. His most recent release, YaW, is the sonic sibling of 2016's MAW, both released through Miami's Other Electricities label.
