Cerebral, instrumental prog-thrash is what Pennsylvania's Dysrhythmia have been doing best for quite some time now. BARRIERS & PASSAGES finds the trio entering into tighter, somewhat hardcore territory, as songs like "Bypass the Solenoid" rage with paint-peeling intensity and die-tooled precision. The band, however, still has the ability to drop the math and fall into a drone with the grace of seasoned avant-jazz artists, as evidenced on "Luminous."
Dysrhythmia: Kevin Hufnagel (guitar); Colin Marston (bass instrument); Jeff Eber (drums).

Barriers & Passages
 $9.85 
Dysrhythmia marked a creative expansion for the Relapse Records roster, Pretest consisting entirely of instrumentals with no death/grind buzz-saw guitar tones or blastbeats -- or anything too "metal" at all, actually -- in sight. Instead, Dysrhythmia explores vaguely prog avenues lined with jagged, angular Jesus Lizard-esque riffs, odd time signatures, and Sonic Youth-styled dissonance and lyrical guitar doodles; the latter smartly used to draw the listener into a fracas that would otherwise be a cold, detached listening experience. Arrangements usually start off sparse and build to climaxes that are more cerebral than emotional, but engaging nonetheless. The (sort of) Rush-like "Running Shoe of Justice" utilizes jazz-chord voicings and the occasional blast of feedback to reach a logically heavy, but not obvious ...

If modern day indie music appears to consist of an endless queue of groups that are either bland emo retreads or glitzy disco punkers, it is then that much more refreshing to encounter a band like Battles. With a lineage that consists of some of indie rock's most accomplished musicians, Battles is a veritable neo-prog supergroup, though one that ...

Barriers & Passages
$12.65
While Slumber Party have mostly taken an "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" approach to their dreamy sound, on the aptly named third album 3, the group does introduce a few small changes. Dion Fischer's warm, hazy production gives songs like "Air" a familiar, well-worn feel, but starting with "Electric Boots" -- on which Aliccia Berg intones "gotta put my boots on," evoking a blissed-out Nancy Sinatra instead of the usual Nico comparisons -- the emphasis is on the band's rock-oriented side. Indeed, "No Sleep Tonite" boasts some electric pianos and a fuzzed-out guitar that are definitely brighter and more energetic than Slumber Party's usual fare, but the song doesn't disturb the group's stylishly sleepy feel. "New Trouble" is one of the most ambitious songs the band has put to tape: a mix of stiff drum machines, rubbery guitars, distant ...

| | Luv Machine Turns You On CD (2006) (Import)
Barriers & Passages
$18.09
Formed in the tropical climates of Barbados 1967, The Luv Machine were a big attraction in the West Indies, where they'd had a string of hit singles and reached the number 1 spot with their psyched out rendition of the Foundation's 'Build Me Up Buttercup'! Influenced mainly by Hendrix and The Cream/Blind Faith, they also found inspiration from the likes of Vanilla Fudge, Pink Floyd, King Crimson & early Black Sabbath. Luv Machine managed to combine elements of psychedelic rock with a contemporary progressive attitude. Added to this was the bands natural capability of fusing elements of soul with an infectious funky groove into their completely unique sound.
The Luv Machine were something of a cross-cultural anomaly in Great Britain at the turn of the '70s. An interracial band from Barbados that played heavy psych influenced by the Hendrix/Clapton axis of British rock, the Luv Machine had been in the U.K. since 1967, slowly mutating from the West Indies' answer to Vanilla Fudge into a somewhat funk-influenced version of early British metal. Their self-titled album for Polydor in 1971 was roundly ignored, and the band split up shortly after its release. So all of the factors were in place to make the Luv Machine album the sort of thing that sells to psych, prog and early metal collectors for hundreds of dollars a pop. The Luv Machine Turns You On (which had been the band's preferred title at the time) is an expanded reissue that adds six single sides and unreleased tracks to the 12 tracks from the original album, remastered from the original tapes. It's the first release on Rise Above Relics, a collectors label run by Cathedral singer Lee Dorrian, and it does a tremendous service to the less hardcore fan of these styles, because at standard retail prices, the Luv Machine's flaws are far more apparent than they would be to someone who just dropped the equivalent of a car payment on a mint vinyl pressing. ...

Barriers & Passages
$13.25
The Bark Haze is an experimental guitar duo comprised of Andrew MacGregor (who records under the name Gown) and Thurston Moore (of Sonic Youth). Total Joke Era is actually two different albums: the limited-edition LP version and the CD version contain completely different recordings. On the CD, you get two long tracks (the first just over 11 minutes long, the second twenty-four-and-a-half), both recorded live in someone's basement in Northampton, ...
