Alec Empire: “Please tell us about your new album. What made you come up with the concept? I think it is outstanding that a musician would think himself into such a imaginary world and drags the listener into it.”

Indian Jewelry
Als es mit Indian Jewelry los ging – die immer nur offiziösen Quellen deuten auf 2002 – da gab es Indian Jewelry noch gar nicht. Zu Beginn war es eine Reinkarnationsmaschine irgendwo in Houston, Texas, deren immer wieder wechselnde Namen nur leidlich dokumentiert sind und deren [...]

SUNDAY AFTERNOON WITH MSX HURRICANE
After a party like the one I witnessed last night, I get up with such a headache…it’s pounding my brain….like a sledge hammer..and I don’t even drink! X !
Berlin Mitte has spiraled down quite a bit since I was last there…and this is what you get when you do an old [...]

SURPRISE OF THE YEAR? QUITE POSSIBLY.

Mike Rogers in Tokyo’s Record Reviews

Hey… I’ve been here for 25 years… Nothing here seems strange to me anymore. It’s hard to write about that sort of stuff. I’ve begun to think that Japan is normal and the west is all fucked up.

I work at a shitty radio station. I know that might seem redundant [...]

Let’s just get one thing clear right now. Record reviews are a waste of time and I would never set much store by what a reviewer has to say about an album. For one thing they are either getting blow jobs from the promo people which results in them writing a glowing review of tosh [...]

THE ACCELERATED CULTURE OF BROKEN BRITAIN

The term “The Soundtrack of your life” might sound a little clichéd but its relevance shouldn’t be underestimated. A tight, perceptive LP can not only predict shifting musical fashions but can also be an astute commentary of the times.

Blondie’s new wave masterpiece Parallel Lines was a classic of the genre, [...]
