Since its inception several years back now, Lawrence English´s Room 40 label has distinguished itself as a leading forum for experimental works by himself, a handful of his fellow Australians and a selection of international artists. Some of these discs have been crafted with such delicacy - not a word often associated with the "experimental" - that they become almost inadvertantly highly-accessible ambient music. DJ Olive´s two albums in the Room 40 catalogue are good examples.

Janek Schaefer´s "In the Last Hour" is also one. Far from being brainlessly-programmed chill-out music, here is plenty of discreet food for thought as you listen distractedly rather than intently. For this music was commissioned as a site-specific installation for the 2005 Huddersfield Music Festival, so it was meant, as it were, to be ambient from the start, i.e. to be a part of something else rather than the focal point.

The four pieces selected for inclusion in the album version combine sounds collected on site with a tiny arsenal of instruments - two types of organ, clarinet, piano and the vinyl records for which Shaefer has such fondness. The wheezing of what can only be what is listed as a Magnus Chord organ in the liner notes provides an almost sacral backdrop to the opening, title track, which atmosphere is broken only rarely by much more mundane sounds - the digging of a spade into the soil, a tap running, meaningless tapping.

"Between the Two" inhabits more spacey, swooshy regions, but only for about five minutes, before a naïvely pretty piano trill bridges "Half Submerged by Each" into a burst of Philip Glass-like pumpingly rhythmic clarinet. This quickly subsides into a muffled, delicate twenty-minute collage of dampened, tentative musical manouevres mustering most of the tools Schaefer has at hand.

The final quarter of this album is dedicated to "The Ruined City", which first puffs its chest out like some male avian act of display before it flies off toward the distant church bells. Schaefer then creates a vinyl symphony out of a vinyl symphony which, despite all the input, early on resolves itself into the most ambient piece of them all. As a finale, a swell of pulsating organ pipes mirrors the opening Glassian clarinet, and curtain.

A sensitively wrought work.

"It´s Easy To Be Miserable", one of the track titles of this album claims quite truthfully, so why not exert yourself and be happy instead? On his debut album, Micheal Walton from Durham in the UK proves to be a joyful, if restrained, guitar-teaser, stroking and molding it with delay pedals and other electric acoutrements, looping, seeking his own blissful ambience.

The soaring opener is a thermal-borne survey of the wonders of the sunlit landscape below. Watson strives for clarity of sound, as opposed to many colleagues who prize the overwhelming swarm of buzz and distortion. Some of these ten tracks, ranging from three to twelve minutes, are linear and narrative, others more static and ambient. There is a great variety of texture and permutation, though the mood remains constantly uplifting; even several forays into relative darkness, like "Negative Pole", eventually emerge into the light. The album ends with a beatific coda, promising to be "Never Constant".

This is thoughtful introversion that travels well, because it is based on the expression of a fellow human being´s "within".

A breed and gender of performer that seems almost indigenous to Japan is the bird-voiced, whispery female vocalist. This may be a false wish-fulfillment caused by too much investment in the Orientalist geisha mystique, but it is a fact that a lot of whispery female vocalists are of Japanese origin. But then the paradox - at its best, their music, however discreet, is complex and as lyrically mature as anyone you care to compare with, male or female.

Miko is one of these girls with a voice as clear as a mountain brook and delicate as the powdered wings of a butterfly. Her debut showcases her voice in surroundings all dressed up in flourescent pinks and greens and yellows and bedazzled with toy electonica.

But it is not all calliopes and candy canes. Poptronica on the outside indeed, this playful sounding music - she dubbed her album Parade because she wanted to offer her audience something equally entertaining - commands serious attention as repeated listenings reveal a highly accomplished organizer of sound. This is my "arts-and-crafts project" of the year - Miko takes what appear to be deceptively straightforward ingredients - her voice, an electric guitar, some inexpensive machines and beat boxes - and creates some highly inventive music.

The album opens with her vocals, double and triple tracked, emerging out of a brightly coloured forest of acoustic and electronic vegetation. Throughout the rest of the album she interweaves actual songs (lyrics in Japanese) with instrumental tracks in which her voice is but one of the instruments (and she plays all the instruments herself, to boot). One is a frenzied, kaleidocscopic swirl, another collages gusts of breathy, cotten-candy vocals with windy, pastel-coloured notes, and a third weaves starlight and rainbows into undulating tapestries.

An album that raises both a smile and an eyebrow.

'Loud, proud and incredibly sexy, Hull’s Fonda 500 are back with another pure pop explosion for the ears. ‘Je M’appele Stereo’ finds fuel from past indie creations to produce a record which sounds like as if Super Furry Animals have eaten too many sherbet dib dabs and have been left alone with Casio keyboards and a kiddie drum set.

From the high pitched, electronically altered, juddering vocals of ‘I Love Stereo, Stereo’s Good For Me’ with its canned beats and funky bass rhythms to the gentle strum of guitars on ‘Everything Is Connected’ mixed in with bouncing harpsichords and teach-yourself-French samples, in the style of The Books, this album is quirky and fun.

Messy like Stereolab on speed, Fonda 500’s off-tune electric guitars unexpectedly morph into loose latin rhythms leaving you with the impression that band have spent too much time watching hyperactive early-morning cartoons.

Nothing on here begs to be taken seriously, just track after track of over energetic, whimsical music wildly careering from pumping electro beats, to rippling glockenspiels doubling back through bright guitar riffs and over enthusiastic beat boxing before finally coming to an exhausted stop with the aptly named lullaby ‘…And Sleep.’

‘Je M’appelle Stereo’ is packed with exuberance and enthusiasm and the more you listen, the more you think that the group’s main aim was to get as many simple ideas committed to tape as messily as possible. Wonderful stuff!'
says Charlotte Otter of new-noise.net, you figure out what you think about it.

I think it's absolutely marvellous. A totally refreshing change that balances on the right side of ridiculous.
Well done Fonda 500! and thankyou!

Since emerging from a disillusioned British music scene in 2000 with their critically acclaimed album ‘8 Track Sound System', Fonda 500 have pre-empted musical styles and scenes, and released a succession of influential yet highly individual albums. Their forthcoming release ‘Je M'appelle Stereo' is no exception. True to form Fonda 500 are once again unapologetically irreverent, this time gifting us with a true timeless classic, full of wonderment, love and audacious twists and turns brimming with Northern swagger. Refreshingly free from gimmicks and trends, ‘Je M'appelle Stereo' will both electrify the body and warm the soul.

The sound of Fonda 500 makes a beguiling group photograph. Outrageous Led Zep riffs firmly hold up the back row whilst Beatles rhythms make rabbit ears sneakily behing Kraftwerks' upright mid-row stance. SFA mess up the middle of the photograph by tickling ELO in the ribs and making the 2 nd row a blur. The front row is topped off with the Beastie Boys sat hands on knees next to Cornelius, with beautiful Brian Wilson cheekily lying on the floor pretending to swim.

Press quotes:

"There's no-one quite like them..." - Rock sound UK
"Twisted pop magic of the highest order" - NME UK
"Great pop moments topple into each other... play loud and often" - Mojo UK
"Think Velvet Underground, Cornelius, Stereolab or the Beach Boys. Fantastic" - Rough Trade UK

A deep space atmosphere is immediately established on Bramble´s debut by a pad of weightless synth and a single "beep" - one of the most direct utterances on this entire, understated album. Yet this half-hour, four-track journey might just as well be headed inward as outward, downward into systems of underground caves, the blood circulation of the human body or, as the label website would have us believe, into the stem of some plant as it burgeons, flourishes and crumples to death, as heard from within.

Bramble offers soundtracks which create vast amounts of space, whatever their relativity, within which the listener can imagine either great beauty or grand terrible loneliness. Each track is an emission of hot sulphur dioxide steam, taking on difference shapes as it is vented.

"Lustmordian" in the dark ambient spectrum, Innate says much by having the restraint and good taste to say very little.
