| | Take Action Vol. 3 CD
Take Action, Vol. 3 is a double-disc set put together by Sub City Records to help financially further suicide prevention and the National Hopeline Network in particular. The 43 bands involved each donated a song from a recent album or EP to the compilation. The music mostly falls under the category of modern aggressive guitar rock: emo, screamo, alt-metal, punk-pop, neo-hardcore -- you name it and you'll find a representative band here. There are a couple of exceptions to the loud, fast, and angst-ridden sounds that dominate the two discs; the second disc includes the power pop of Brendan Benson, the art emo of Cursive, and the sweet indie rock of the Jealous Sound. In fact, the entire second disc focuses on the softer side of modern punk, featuring bands like Elliott and the Jazz June, which soften the edges of their sound with poppy textures, and bands like Yellowcard and Jupiter Sunrise, which scale back the sonic assault and rely on anguished vocals to carry the day. Fans of the modern sound will find much to like here, standouts being Thursday's howling "For the Workforce, Drowning," Good Riddance's "More DePalma, Less Fellini," the Ataris' poppy "A Beautiful Mistake" (taken from the Japanese release of So Long Astoria), and Division of Laura Lee's ominous "Black City," and may discover a few new favorites as well. ~ Tim Sendra

Take Action Vol. 3 album
$20.15
Dutch musician Rutger Zuydervelt works on music under the Machinefabriek moniker, an evocative name suited to his often detailed blends of found sound, industrial-derived sonic textures and general mood-setting work. Having released many mini-CDs on his own, Weleer finds him drawing together tracks from a number of these releases to create a lengthy and quite cohesive overview of his approach. In its own way, this is his Louder Than Bombs, a compilation that serves to deftly illustrate his abilities in one solid effort. Given the continuing nature of his work it is easier to focus in on the individual tracks, but Weleer is very well sequenced and rapidly sets and maintains a strong core atmosphere. There are some massive doomy drones at various points, with two of the highlights being "Chinese Unpopular Song" and especially "Lief," which is downright majestic with its crumbling, overwhelming sonics. Elsewhere there's more of a contrast set up: on the lengthy "Hieperdepiep," initial tape clicks and musiqu concrète touches shade into a battle between screeching white noise and a choral sample of sorts, with the former winning out by the end of the piece. There's just as much given over to calmer, almost sweeter simplicity. Two strong examples include the simple but affecting piano part on "Ryan" and the elegant "Wintervacht," which in its collage of sound arcs and implied rhythms ...
