010 GAP
Conture Dinida (cd)
Definitely and absolutely best free jazz combo our little country
has!!!
Certainly, they have on mind Art Ansemble of Chicago, Coltrane,
Albert Ayler and other free jazz masters, but they do it with their
own style, virtuosity and stand. Believe me they know where they
are from, and you can certainly feel it from their music. Ethnic
free jazz rarely sounds this good. File under Knitting Factory/Tzadik...

JULLANDER John Symmes' Welt (cd)
After
a couple of 7" and one 10", Jullander finally arrive
to a full length.
Musically, John Symmes Welt consists of four equal,
but distinct voices that complement each other and yet allow each other
to be heard. You can sense that the people here have made an agreement
and set off on a common path.
With two guitars, a bass and drums, Jochen Brandt, Arne Kittler, Andi
Schoon and Jens-Rainer Berg conceive and mold their songs, with occasional
support on saxophone by Philip Andernach. Jullander play beautiful music that is perfectly aware of itself.
Their calmer pieces with strange melody lines can remind you sometimes
on Dianogah or Couch, others, somewhat bulkyer brings to
mind June of 44 or Paul Newman, but don't even think that
this is enough to describe their sound.
Their sound is really their own - unique melodies, stylish singing, jazz
skillfulness and pop qualities you shouldn't miss.

M.I.G.Pussy
Ophthalmic Solution (cd)
This guys are not from Croatia - their hometown is small town in BOSNIA,
Bihac. But my fiend, they really know how to use guitars "per"
noise purposes... Critics compared them to GodheadSilo, Steve Albini,
Melvins, U.S.Maple. They tried to describe them as: "minimal guitar
noise slaughter""... Postwar frustrations transformed into loud
music." "Frentic! MIG Pussy are sistematic in making you uncomfortable".
Not for weak hearted.
