First Original Silence Music First Original Silence Music Review Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars)  The First... The Original... The Sile... The SOUNDS!
I lent this to a friend the day I got it (not something I enjoy doing- I bought it- I'm gonna listen to it!) When he gave it back to me and I asked what he thought, I got a tightening of his entire face as his eyes widened to the phrase "blasts beats and saxophone". A starting place, though that was when this came out (now a few years ago). Since, I've been exposed to much in the realm of free jazz, free improv, and the like, (having, at the time, really only checked out some of the "noise-improv" projects that Thurston and more familiar names were associated to- hence why I had gotten this). Though, Paal Nilssen-Love has become a personal favorite, his drumming a smearing, splattering, fractured grooving onslaught, and Massimo Pupillo with some of the most pulverizing throat punches a bass and a man can create. Terrie Ex is like a child who's creative playdough mind is constantly reshaping to come up with screeching, barbed wire baseball bat-to-face soundtracks. O'Rourke and Moore perhaps take up some of the least amount of overt space. Moore seems to be creating a washed thread, woven under and between everything, his smearing taps into some of the subconscious Freud never found. O'Rourke is a master of subtlety, or of unassuming activity... I can never pin down what he's up to, but that's what scares me... and Mats, tootin' and shouting through, torturing a severely threatened and battered single reed. He always gushes and bubbles like molten aural goo, sometimes streams trailing and seeping into the foundation that is already considerably destroyed. The collective could have been Original Demise, or Silence Destruction, but names aside, this is apocalyptic, a means to an end, while simultaneously recreating, restructuring a whole new civilization of beasts and erotic animals.

First Original Silence

The second entry from sui generis singer/songwriter Sufjan Stevens in his absurdly ambitious project to make a record for every state in America outdistances even 2003's superb GREETINGS FROM MICHIGAN in scope and beauty. A sweeping paean to the Lincoln state, ILLINOIS weaves together history, personal confession, and detail-filled scenarios with chamber folk, expansive orchestral pop, and back-porch pastoral settings for a stunningly progressive indie gem that sound like Brian Wilson, Stereolab, and Neil Young holding ...

First Original Silence

After scoring some significant notice on Sammy Belts the Best of Broadway (1962), Sammy Davis, Jr. (vocals) returns to the Great White Way for inspiration and material. Containing a dozen show tunes, What Kind of Fool Am I (1962) would go on to become one of Davis' most revered and highest-charting long-players during the 1960s. Under the direction of Marty Paich (arranger/conductor), Davis practically redefines himself as a decidedly hip and modern interpreter of American popular song. This in itself is notable, as rock & roll had all but relegated singers of his caliber to becoming dinosaurs. Nothing could be further from the truth, as many of the melodies gathered here remained ...

It's rare when someone can take a genre of music and give it an entirely new twist that makes it much more exciting than it had ever been.Take alternative and hip-hop, for example. I've often bemoaned the present state of alternative music, and while I like hip-hop, I've felt for some time that the genre has been starting to stagnate.Enter Pfilbryte and his debut album Imperfection. The title is a misnomer if I ever heard one; this album not only creates an amazing amalgam of hip-hop's trippiness and alternative's rock veins, but it restores my faith in both genres.Pfilbryte can only be described as a cross between a hip-hop trickster (a la Digital Underground) and a mad scientist, using all forms of audio and video media to his advantage. (This isn't surprising, when you find out he is the grandson of "Woody Woodpecker" creator Walter Lantz - I still miss that cartoon.) His delivery of his vocals - spoken and sung - is incredibly smooth and laid back, at times both ridiculing and criticizing the society we live in today.The lead-off single "Merry Go Round" is immediately addictive. Pfilbryte walks the line between hip-hop and alternative rock quite well, easily belnding into both genres before you realize there's been a switch. One subject of his Spike Lee-type wit is aimed at some of our "overpaid" sports heroes ("Say, man, doesn't that $123 million affect your vertical?"), but does so without attacking anyone in general - a refreshing change of pace.His more pointed social criticism is saved for "Playtime," where he slams our interest in other people's sex lives, from the clergy to the president. I'm sure some will read his comments as near blasphemy, but in one sense, it is different to hear someone say he doesn't care about another person's sex life.A few tracks fall a little short of the mark, like "This And That" and "Denied," but the power and energy of songa like "Poor But Honest," "Picture Yourself," "A Little Bit" and "Right Of Way" quickly make up for any shortcomings. As debuts go, this one is simply incredible. ...
