The trick to creating a perfect
pop confection revolves around getting the mix between sweet and sour just
right. Joe Rathbone's songs prove that he has the recipe down pat. Every
song on his second solo release, "I Can Hear The Windows of Your Heart
Breaking", displays a level of songwriting savvy usually associated with
contemporary masters like Elvis Costello or Nick Lowe. Rathbone's songs are
both fresh and familiar, groundbreaking yet classic. -

The Seventh Ring of Saturn
is; Ted Selke -
bass, vocals, guitar, percussion; Jeremy Knauff - guitar, analog synth,
vocals, percussion; Jamie Reilly - drums, percussion, trombone.
In the fall of 2005, musician/astronaut Ted Selke ("Mr.
Crowe's Garden", "Joybang!") departed from Earth on a mission to investigate
the mysteries of interplanetary sounds and their effect on the musical form
commonly known as "psychedelic rock". Accompanying him on the mission were
fellow space travelers Jeremy Knauff ("Tryptamine Breakfast") and Jamie
Reilly ("Moonplastic", "The Tao of Xerxes"). Taking up residence at a space
station just outside of the seventh ring of Saturn, the group used
sophisticated technical equipment to measure soundwaves and to create their
own otherworldly sounds. In February of 2007, Nusrat Records released a
document of their findings: a recording of the sounds they had experienced
called "The Seventh Ring of Saturn". The long period spent away from Earth
left them disoriented and unable to cope with the day to day Earthling
experience, still the team was occasionally spotted displaying their craft
along with like-minded travelers such as "Six Organs of Admittance" and
"Green Milk from the Planet Orange". As they have begun to acclimate to
their current surroundings, they are expected to begin traveling Earth soon
in order to demonstrate some of the sounds and teach people about their
findings. Plans are already underway for a return to space early next year
with a new document to follow shortly thereafter. Available Now! CD and limited edition vinyl (2007) |
