Victim of a double whammy – caught in the already building backlash to the shoegazer scene at home and completely ignored in the States, as was just about anything else British – once Nevermind and Ten hit the charts Chapterhouse's album debut could have, and should have, won a bigger name for itself.

For Jack DeJohnette's 1995 ECM release, the drummer teams up in an unusual trio with pianist Michael Cain (who has his own sound) and the atmospheric reeds of Steve Gorn (who is heard on soprano, clarinet and bansuri flute). The five group originals (two of which are over 20 minutes long) build gradually to a high level of intensity. Although there is no bass, the music swings in its own way and DeJohnnette's drums and percussion are consistently stimulating. This thoughtful but often-fiery music is worth a close listen. ~ AllMusic

I bought this when it came out in 1971, and it remained a favorite after all these years, still highly recommended as a unique blend of avant-garde jazz and electronic music/musique concrete.

After a seasonal round of split releases and limited demos, 2004 brings the third full-length release from Krieg.Twelve tracks reflect a wider range of songwriting – and with them a necessary change in production, allowing the guitar to have more clarity, capturing a more gothic sound in the truest sense: often resounding a synthesis of Misfits (circa _Earth A.D._) and Darkthrone.

Surreal Overdose is Deceased's first release since 2005. The long-running metal maestros have kept the faith since 1985 and is set for big things with this new record.
