Released without warning or hype in January of 2006, Intronaut's debut EP, Null, helped get the year started on the right foot, and instantly nominated the brand new group for the exalted office of Extreme Progressive Metal Ministers, only recently vacated by Atlanta's increasingly mainstream-embracing Mastodon. With their full-length follow-up of barely six months later, the logically named Void, Intronaut arguably consolidated their candidacy with seven new tracks of equal, if not greater compositional merit than what had come before -- although their debt to Mastodon's early works, as well as predecessors like Today Is the Day and Lethargy, remained not only obvious but, some may argue, overpowering. In any event, notable Void offerings like "Gleamer," "Nostalgic Echo," and "Rise to Midden" proved almost as demanding, yet rewarding, to digest, as they no doubt were for Intronaut to conceive and perform: positively head-spinning in their technicality and improbably heavy, to boot. But, as was the case with that promising EP, these challenging songs frequently reveal moments of astonishing calm and even beauty amid their semi-intelligible, grunted vocals and Byzantine arrangements; including the swathes of atmospheric "intro(naut)spection" found within the continent-shifting riff tectonics of "Fault Lines" and "Iceblocks," and the jazzy breakdowns interspersed among the metallic hyperactivity of "Teledildonics" and "A Monolithic Vulgarity." All of which contribute to Intronaut's, thus far, very strong and consistent musical platform for office, leaving only the verdict of those voters or listeners who might turn up at the polls, and there's no reason why shouldn't show up en mass. ~ Eduardo Rivadavia

Includes the complete PITCHFORK 7" EP (1991) and rare bonus tracks.
Pitchfork & Lost Needles includes Clutch's debut 7" in its four-song entirety and augments that with unreleased tracks and demo versions. As this set proves, the veteran quartet began as a band crouched between the Melvins, a viscous form of hardcore (think a slower, more economic Sick of It All), and the literate but still loud post-punk of Jawbox. "Wicker" is in blistering half-time, its layers of needling guitars and Neil Fallon's yawping proclamations ("Pacemaker! LIFE TAKER!") skinned to their ...

'Music and medicine have had a long and fascinating association!belief in the healing powers of music!has been strikingly persistent in many world cultures. Dr. Richard Allen Williams is a personification of that linkage. A professor of medicine at UCLA and editor of the pioneering 'Textbook of Black-Related Diseases', he has also been a jazz trumpeter for most of his life." This quote from an article in the Los Angeles Times by Jazz Critic Don Heckman written after Mr. Heckman heard a performance by Dr. Williams and his straight-ahead jazz quintet at Spazio in Sherman Oaks, California captures the essence of his uniqueness not only as a top cardiologist but also as an outstanding trumpet player who has been heard only rarely by the general public because of the demands of his medical responsibilities. Recently, he decided to give in to the numerous requests to 'go public' and to record a sampling of his talent, and so this is his first CD produced as his 'maiden voyage'.His background in music is truly amazing. He was born and grew up in Wilmington, Delaware where he attended Howard High School as an underclassman behind the immortal trumpet genius Clifford Brown, who mentored him in the rudiments of jazz. During that time, he sat in at jam sessions with the late vibraphonist Lem Winchester, also from Wilmington, and later as a 16-year-old freshman pre-medical student at Harvard, he met and was musically influenced by the legendary Miles Davis. Clifford and Miles became the dominant influences on his playing style; as Jazz Critic Heckman further remarked, 'Williams' youthful association with Brown had an unmistakable effect on his playing, as did his affection for the work of Davis!his soloing captured the lyrical and rhythmic qualities of these influences, enhanced by his own obvious passion for both the science and the art of improvisation. ' Accordingly, Dr. Williams has dedicated several of the tunes recorded here to his two main influences: I Remember Clifford, Joy Spring, and Delilah to 'Brownie', and Dig to Miles. Over the years, he has been fortunate to appear as a background player behind Billie Holiday; with legendary tenormen Ben Webster, Herman Riley, and Rasaahn Roland Kirk; and with flutist Hubert Laws. He has performed in Paris, Rome, Switzerland, Rio, and many other international venues. Recently, he played a special sold-out performance at Birdland in New York with former Jazz Messengers Javon Jackson on tenor sax, Peter Washington on bass, and the late John Hicks on piano, with Lewis Nash on drums. Accompanying Dr. Richard ...
