Erik Honore and Greta Aagre: Year of the Bullet
by Nenad Georgievski
Impressive in its reach and warmth, the music of keyboardist/sampler/lyricist Erik Honoré and vocalist Greta Aagre on Year of the Bullet feels like a perfect brushstroke of sound calligraphy, full of cinematic passages that are designed to evoke a broad emotional spectrum. This is the duo's third release and first signed under their names--previously, they were ...
Punkt 2012: Kristiansand, Norway, September 6-8, 2012
by John Kelman
Punkt Festival Kilden Performing Arts Centre Kristiansand, Norway September 6-8, 2012Another year, another Punkt. If that sounds flippant or dismissive, that's not the intention; instead, it's a reflection that a year simply isn't complete without visiting Kristiansand, Norway, for the Live Remix festival that continues to expand its network and garner attention ...

by John Kelman
Jan Bang / Erik Honoré Uncommon Deities SamadhiSound 2012 As the 2012 Punkt Festival debuts its eighth annual edition at its home base of Kristiansand, Norway--but this time, in the brand new, state of the art Kilden Performing Arts Centre--it has gradually evolved into something more than just a festival. The ...
Eivind Aarset: Guitar Anti-Hero
by John Kelman
In a time when the interactive video game Guitar Hero is selling in the millions, Eivind Aarset is, in many ways, the Guitar Anti-Hero. Despite making music that could easily lend itself to the kind of guitar pyrotechnics that are so often the litmus test of a good player, Aarset's emphasis is on texture, on melody, ...
Sweet Billy Pilgrim: Crown and Treaty
by John Kelman
Sweet Billy Pilgrim Crown and Treaty Luxor Purchase 2012 Leaping onto the scene overnight might appear to have its advantages, but there are plenty of disadvantages, too. Building an audience incrementally, over a period of time, often allows an artist to evolve without the same degree of mass expectation that comes ...

Died In The Wool - Manafon Variations
by Nenad Georgievski
Inventive and beautifully direct, Died In The Wool is another masterpiece in a long string of albums that singer and composer David Sylvian has recorded. His varied career portrays a restless creative spirit who makes engaging work, and Died In The Wool is another winner. Few artists at this point of their career would accept such ...
Punkt 2011: Kristiansand, Norway, September 1-3, 2011
by John Kelman
Punkt Festival 2011 The Agder Theatre Kristiansand, Norway September 1-3, 2011It was almost not meant to be. Plagued by a combination of airline snafus and the residual effects of Hurricane Irene--which had hit the northeast coast of the United States a few days earlier, creating (amidst other much more serious results) a ...
David Sylvian - Blemish (2003)
By Tom Johnson It isn't necessarily that blemish was so drastically different than anything David Sylvian had done before. He'd done ambient, both alone and with such visionaries as Holger Czukay and Robert Fripp, and some of it verged on being noise to me. (I'm not a fan of noise-as-music, but I do like good ambient.) ...
Forgotten Series: David Sylvian - Gone to Earth (1986)
By Tom Johnson I have a sort of extra-sensory perception relegated solely to picking up the faint signals thrown off by the arrival of music I want in a music store at a specific location. Be it a brand new disc only available as an import or some equally hard-to-find domestically-released item, or even something I ...
