Mika Vainio and Ilpo Vaisanen, better known as Finnish electronic duo Pan Sonic, are not ones to compromise. Since they began making music (or sounds, as the case may be) in 1993, they've continued turning out unconventional recordings that challenge accepted modes of thought about electronic musical idioms. As ideologically and sonically unrelenting as ever, Pan Sonic presents KESTO, four full discs of new material that retreats not a step from the pair's previous advances.

The first disc is the harshest and most literally industrial-sounding, as white-noise frequencies, modified to varying degrees, crackle and clatter through the listener's eardrums, with only brief moments of respite. Disc Two is less overtly assaultive, more beat-oriented, making use of the kind of dub-inflected glitch beats they (along with the likes of Pole) helped invent. The third disc could almost be called ambient, were it not for the inescapable sense of dread that underlies the somehow sinister minimalism. Most impressive is the final disc, a single, hour-long piece that's closer to early-'70s Tangerine Dream than anything else. Pan Sonic thanks artists as diverse as electro-post-punks Throbbing Gristle and New Music composer Alvin Lucier in the notes, and influences from both sides of the fence are discernible.Q (p.116) - 3 stars out of 5 - "Once you've bequeathed them your synapses, the rewards are great - analog tone generators and digital samplers creating a thrillingly visceral hiss and thud that quickly fills all available space."
CMJ (p.10) - "KESTO is a searing collection of glitchy industrial sounds smoothed out and refried over skeletal beats. It's noisy, ambient and danceable all at the same time..."

Gov't Mule By A Thread CD  (2009)

Kesto
CD $11.34  SALE 4 stars Top 50 Audio Samples
BY A THREAD is Gov't Mule's first studio album since HIGH & MIGHTY was issued in 2006. Since that time, bassist Andy Hess has been replaced by Jorgen Carlsson, though Hess appears on two tracks at the end of the album. Carlsson's playing style is much more aggressive than Hess', and is therefore closer - in spirit anyway - to Gov't Mule's original bassist, the late Allen Woody, though he possesses an adventurous sense of time and is harmonically more colorful than either Woody or Hess. Carlsson and drummer Matt Abst are a solid match, since Abst is a drummer used to shifting time signatures and allowing the unexpected in while still driving a band. The band's keyboardist and rhythm guitarist, Danny Louis, is a shape-shifter, playing to whatever is needed in a given track. His manner of coloring sounds inside and around a particular tune's framework is a large part of what makes Gov't Mule's sound so fresh here - despite the fact that they don't stray far from what they do best. Warren Haynes and his guitar are, as usual, front and center, his guitar screaming, his big throaty growl hammering down lyrics like a Southern fire-and-brimstone preacher with earthshaking soul. The material on this set is tight; there is less jamming but Gordie Johnson's production and mixing equalize everything at ten, making it feel like the disc is recorded live. The set opens with the pulsing bass throb of "Broke Down on the Brazos," just before Haynes and guest guitarist Billy Gibbons enter and let the tough, riff-laden blues snarl get in and slash it up a bit. The roar is wondrously deafening and the pace is fierce. Likewise, the slightly more tuneful "Steppin' Lightly" does anything but. ...

Creed Full Circle CD  (2009) Digipak

Kesto
CD $11.18  SALE 5 stars Top 50 Audio Samples
Getting right back to where they started from, Creed reunites for Full Circle, putting all tensions to rest and cutting their first album in eight years. FULL CIRCLE is a none-too-subtle allusion to how they're getting back to their beginnings, but a cynic could say they never got much past it, toiling the same weathered ground on each of their albums, but this bears some subtle differences, particularly in how Creed sounds heavier yet more open than they did in the past. While they're still delivered with the finesse of a hammer on a railroad spike, there's more air within the ballads, more skill in their attack, a looseness to their playing that allows them to take a stab at white-boy blues on the title track. "Full Circle" is one of several songs built on prominent acoustic guitar, an indication of the greater color palette here than on, say, HUMAN CLAY, and that lack of reliance on thudding guitars does make FULL CIRCLE less wearying ...

Lynyrd Skynyrd Second Helping CD  (1974) Gold

Kesto
CD $19.10  SALE Top 100
It was hard to believe that Lynyrd Skynyrd could possibly top its classic, near-perfect 1973 debut, PRONOUNCED LEH-NERD SKIN-NERD. However, the boys from Florida accomplished the near-impossible with their sophomore release one year later, SECOND HELPING. It's hard to determine the better album of the two, but both proved to be a solid one-two punch that made Lynyrd Skynyrd one of the '70s' ...

Dethklok Metalocalypse: Dethalbum II CDs  (2009) Bonus DVD; Deluxe Edition

Kesto
CD $15.55  5 stars Top 100 Audio Samples
Brendon Small and Gene Hoglan proved their animated death metal band Dethklok had the chops to rock out like a living, breathing group on THE DETHALBUM. On DETHALBUM II, Small and Hoglan make Dethklok sound more like a real band than ever before--for better and worse. Without a doubt, these songs rock hard. The production is tighter and the attack is even heavier than it was on the first album, but surprisingly, that ends up being a slight weakness rather than a strength. What made THE DETHALBUM special was that the songs were funny, but not jokey; tried and true metal fans could appreciate the humor that was mixed into the heaviness, while the wit drew in metal neophytes. But on DETHALBUM II, Small and Hoglan have gotten so good at lovingly embodying metal clichés that the songs aren't as overtly funny or catchy as they were on the first album. Some tracks are almost indistinguishable from music by a genuine death metal band (to casual listeners, anyway). With DETHALBUM II, it feels like Small and Hoglan are courting ...

Hard Workin' Man: The Jack Nitzsche Story (Volume Two) CD  (2006) (Import) United Kingdom

Kesto
CD $16.95  Audio Samples
The second volume of collected interviews and recordings by and with the arranger and producer Jack Nitzsche is an invaluable trawl through his considerable three-decade back catalog of projects. It unearths gems like Merry Clayton's (the female voice on the Rolling Stones' "Gimme Shelter") version of "It's in His Kiss," and Nitzsche's own previously unreleased spy-movie type instrumental, "Surf Finger," as well as the Everly Brothers performing Neil Young's "Mr. Soul." Other rarities include the Monkees' recording of Fred Neil's "Porpoise Song," the Tubes' 1970s punk homage to Phil Spector's 1960s Wall of Sound "Don't Touch Me There," and Captain Beefheart lending his ineffable growl to the collection's title track, taken from the movie BLUE COLLAR. Ace's second salute to the genius of Jack Nitzsche is no less compelling than ...
