The Power Of Introverts – Susan Cain

Celestiial & Ballet Deviare

Taken from the press release:
“Ballet Deviare presents “Disconsolate”, a nine-minute experimental dance film directed by Adam Waltner. “Disconsolate” is a powerful, soul-entrancing depiction which illustrates the depths of human suffering. Set to “Waldlander im Herbst” from the funeral doom phenomenon CELESTIIAL (Tanner Anderson), the piece evokes a feeling and mood that is as hypnotic as it is effecting.”

Celestiial’s work to date has been released on Bindrune Recordings. It’s a label I helped found with Marty “To Old Too Cold” Rytkonen (who now carries the torch nobly). Tanner Anderson is the spark in the Celestiial petri dish. It’s from him that the energy rises to coagulate the moss and mud into the primordial doom he’s become known for. He is also a good guy. His vision and intent is pure. As odd as this collaboration might seem on the surface, I’m happy as hell for him.

A Congregation Of Clamoring Torches

Another still photo video stumbled across… “A Congregation of Regrettable Biology” taken from The Aberrant Laboratory CD.

And another… “Clamoring Torches Ring The Hives Of Science” also from The Aberrant Laboratory CD

Now seems like a good time to remind you that there are numerous mp3′s, and other videos on the samples page.

Just For You… Here’s A Love Song

The Church – “Destination”

Our instruments have no way of measuring this feeling
Can never cut below the floor, or penetrate the ceiling.
In the space between our houses, some bones have been discovered,
But our procession lurches on, as if we had recovered.
Draconian winter unforetold.
One solar day, suddenly you’re old.
Your little envelope just makes me feel cold,
Makes destination start to unfold.
Our documents are useless, or forged beyond believing.
Page forty-seven is unsigned, I need it by this evening.
In the space between our cities, a storm is slowly forming.
Something eating up our days, I feel it every morning.
Destination, destination.

It’s not a religion, it’s just a technique.
It’s just a way of making you speak.
Distance and speed have left us too weak,
And destination looks kind of bleak.
Our elements are burned out, our beasts have been mistreated.
I tell you it’s the only way we’ll get this road completed.
In the space between our bodies, the air has grown small fingers.
Just one caress, you’re powerless, like all those clapped-out
swingers.
Destination, destination.

Such a great song. . . been ruminating on the cosmic horror woven through this of late. It’s the opening track on the Starfish album released in 1988. Enjoy.

Pitch Shifter – Deconstruction

Nice, I forgot about this. I have a leather jacket with the cover of this record, Submit, painted on the back of it around here somewhere.

Angoscia e nausea (Anguish and nausea)

I stumbled upon this while gathering the url’s for couple of other videos that are available on the Samples page. Had no idea about, looks like it went up within the last month. The soundtrack is a song from my 2002 release Chronicling The Famine called “Underneath The Luminous Poison”

Nazca – Out

I have posted about Nazca previously, but they have a new record out and they are still an amazing band, so here you go.

I received the new disc in the mail from Karstein a month, because he is a swell guy. It’s been far too long since “Non-Grata” came out on Eibon records in 2002. On the new release, “Out”, they have continued down the path that really took shape on that record. Moody Post Punk with an understated infusion of spaghetti/surf guitars and analog synth that really fleshes out the dynamics of the band. Lyrically, it is a mix of personal and social… The bio which is one of the numerous papers on my desk… perhaps it’s under this cat here… sums it up something like “hippies without flowers, punks without mohawks.”

Every track on the record is excellent. This is a band that I still listen to on a regular basis even with the long break between releases. My understanding is that they are already anxious to get back in the studio. Can’t wait.

They have just released an official video for the track “Real Love.” This is probably the most “aggressive” track on the record.

And while we are on the subject here is a live version of “Malady” which – unless I am missing something  – is a non-album track that is only available on their DVD “Free For All”
