Starting out as a fictitious group that eventually opened for Sonic Youth, the Japanese outfit OOIOO, led by former Boredoms drummer Yoshimi P-We, has evolved from playing purely digital music to creating distinctly organic soundscapes, as heard on 2006's TAIGA. Though traces of its electronic origins can still be heard here, the album is mostly occupied with more tribal expressions, with batteries of drums underpinning its eccentric but strangely beautiful vocal harmonies and chants.
OOIOO: Al, Kayan, Yoshimi, Aya.
Personnel: Tonchi (steel pan); Thiam Misato (percussion).
Spin (p.102) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "[W]hat's so brilliant about OOIOO's fifth album is how Yoshimi finds spiritual connections between unlikely genres."
Uncut (p.119) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "Effortlessly ambitious, its pan-cultural drift pulses like cogs in nature's own machinery, creating endlessly curious and placeless exotica."
The Wire (p.65) - "[They] seem to be calling out to some cosmic force, using a mix of rock, jazz and electronica to beam their message out..."
CMJ (p.4) - "'UJA', blurting with Zappatastic guitar riffing and looped vocals, plays out like a futuristic gamelan player's nightmare." OOIOO Taiga Songs | 1. | UMA |

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 embraces the possibilities of technology used in tandem with instrumental virtuosity.

Hi! I'm on the piano faculty of the Neighborhood Music School in New Haven, Ct. Besides teaching, I also enjoy composing and accompanying. I've released two CDs so far, Music For Quiet Listening, and More Music For Quiet Listening. My own compositions are on each CD, as well as the music of Bach, Debussy, Rachmaninoff, Tailleferre, Liszt, Godowsky, Hanson, Rodgers/Hough, Ravel, Kellogg, and Charles Williams. Here are some reviews of Music For Quiet Listening""At last a CD I can enjoy. Your playing is exquisite"-Michael Habermann, Sorabji specialist"Some very sensitive playing in the Rachmaninoff, keep up the good work"-Emile Pandolfi, Classical Crossover Pianist"I put it on while I worked, and at a particular point I got to track #7, which was inspired by your friend and my Aeterna. How lovely, I think your own composition was my favorite. You did a great job. It's a very nice selection. You play very beautifully, Dave"- Constance Demby, New Age ComposerHere is an extended review from Musicweb-international.com that appeared in 1/05: Music for Quiet Listening Sergei RACHMANINOV (1873-1943) Preludes, Op. 32/5, 23/6 Lilacs, Op. 21/5 Daisies, Op. 38/3 Leopold GODOWSKY (1870-1938) Java Suite: Boro Budur in Moonlight Hollis KELLOGG (b. 1953) Dance for a New House David DELUCIA (b. 1958) Carol Ross' Rapture Germaine TAILLEFERRE (1892-1983) Three Sonatines Maurice RAVEL (1875-1938) Adagio from Piano Concerto in G major Franz LISZT/Robert SCHUMANN (1810-1856) Widmung (Dedication) Franz LISZT (1811-1886) Bénédiction de Dieu dans la Solitude (from Harmonies Poétiques et Réligieuses) David DeLucia, piano Recorded Neighborhood Music School, New Haven, Ct., December 2003 PERSONAL LABEL 59672 [62:39] More Music for Quiet Listening Johann Sebastian BACH (1685-1750) Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring (from Cantata No. 147 - transcribed by Myra Hess) Prelude in B minor (from Clavier Buchlein for W.

I have received many discs over the past few years from performers with their own personal labels. With little exception, I have not reviewed them because the level of artistry and technical command was unable to drag me away from my normal review regimen. These two discs from David DeLucia on his own label are an entirely different matter. His command of the piano's resources is quite impressive; ...
