| | Phonnoir Putting Holes Into October Skies CD Phonnoir Discography of CDs
The debut album from Berlin-based electronic artist Matthias Grübel, aka Phon°noir. Summoning insight by loading arbitrarily recorded noise bits and sampled sounds from daily life into a drum computer, Grübel located a unique sound built from broken rhythms. Creating its own sphere between clicks'n'cuts and songwriting, Putting Holes Into October Skies is an intimate record, inviting you to enter fragile little soundscapes in a charming less-is-more-mode. Ethereal guitars meet warm lo-fi-electronics, accompanied by Grübel's haunting vocals, forming sixteen melancholic tracks, as comforting as the end of a long winter. Playful yet broken, distraught and despairing, but always with a chink of light hiding around a forgotten corner. Almost pop, but not quite. Quatermass. 2006
Phon-Noir: Matthias Grubel.

Tara Vanflower's second solo effort continues in the same striking, loving vein as her first -- it's the sound of someone confounding expectations based on her group work to make her own personal, entrancing statement. Certainly there's no mistaking the soft singing and echo that open up the album with "Ligertily" as being anyone or anything but that of the voice that helps make Lycia so lovely, but the fragmentary nature of the song, combined with the soft, backward-masked guitar shards, is miles away from that band's serene, percussion-driven glowering. From there, My Little Fire-Filled Heart suggests a series of contrasts, Vanflower's voice (often singing spiked, sharp words suggesting controlled currents of violence or obsession) contrasting against murky though never overly chaotic collages of sound -- "Silverback" and its clattering bells and buried spoken word samples, for instance, or the Tom Waits-like "cabaret in a coal mine" beats of "A Rusted Nail Through the Wrist" -- or empty, minimal arrangements. Often examples of the latter, such as "Rabbit" or "The Girl from the Green Dimension," work best as songs, since Vanflower's singing provides the core melody on its own, the equivalent of whistling past a graveyard come to unquiet life. Other standouts include the rhythmic grunts and calls underpinning the chants of "Naked King," the rainfall and soft chiming of the 11-minute "When," and the reworking of the traditional song "A Conversation With Death," with Vanflower combining several different ways of singing the words into an overlapping whole. One of the best efforts is an inspired cover of Death in June's "The Honour of Silence," which transitions from the buried shards of sounds in "Rabbit" to include a dark synth drone over which Vanflower sings. It's a striking balance of sounds, with Vanflower harmonizing with herself for even stronger effect. ~ Ned Raggett

| | Loreena McKennitt Nights From The Alhambra CDs (2007) With DVD; Digipak
Putting Holes Into October Skies album
$23.05
During their pledge drive in March of 2007, PBS Great Performances aired a magnificent special concert performance by Loreena McKennitt entitled Nights from the Alhambra. This set includes the concert in its entirety on DVD along with the audio for the complete program on 2 CDs. An enchanting musical performance, set beneath the stars in the breathtaking Moorish heart of medieval Spain. Captured in concert in September 2006, McKennitt leads viewers through the multi-textured landscapes of her catalog, from traditional Celtic ballads to literary narratives and highlights from her latest recording, An Ancient Muse. The DVD was filmed in rich HDTV.
Canadian singer/harpist Lorenna McKennitt has been typecast as a performer of soothing music, but she is really much more. True, much of her music is ethereal and relaxing, but McKennitt is a true creative spirit, drawing inspiration from the poetry of Yeats, Blake, and Tennyson. NIGHTS AT THE ALHAMBRA was recorded live at the Alhambra, a fortress on the eastern ...
