Strange Glue and the Post-Rock Underground Vol. 3 (Compilation) (2010)

"As the new decade begins we all set off on ambitious missions to achieve, succeed and explore. For some people they do so by working hard, for others they get their travelling boots on and for those reading, it's probably portrayed as a quest for new music.

If you are from the latter group then here's us getting the ball rolling, a compilation of the finest Post-Rock music around. A scientifically-proven mix of awe-inspiring tracks from both established and fledgling bands. Eight tracks of new, rare or unreleased material to tickle your fancy, tickle your auditory canal and to tick all your boxes with incendiary sonic explosions.

There is of course a catch, much like your local drug-dealer, we give away the first hit free-of-charge in the knowledge that you'll keep coming back for more at slightly raised prices. This is what is called 'the music industry', so blow the moths from your wallet or purse and start purchasing some albums by these fine bands. Before that though, you can either stream the individual tracks from this comp below or use the 'download album' image to do just that (in .zip container format).

You can also still download our previous samplers free of charge which are all as equally spectacular, just follow the links below to be enlightened..." - Strange Glue Magazine.

Tracklist:
1.) The American Dollar - 'Landing'
2.) Pg.lost - 'Crystalline'
3.) Collapse Under The Empire - 'Crawling'
4.) Pelican - 'Strung Up From The Sky'
5.) The End Of The Ocean - 'Setting Sail'
6.) Analog Sound - 'Потеряно в переводе'
7.) Microfilm - 'State & Island'
8.) Eimog - 'Saved By Thirteen'

Reap - The World's Destructive Rulers (2007)

Gerade am Wochenende in Wien gesehen, und haben mich sehr schnell von ihrem Können überzeugen können. Reap schaffen Thrash Metal im Sinne von Sepultura bzw. Soulfly. Dass dies warscheinlich ihre größten Einflüsse sind waren schon nach ein paar Sekunden für mich klar. Eventuell Slayer können noch als großen Einfluss gedient haben. Alles in Allem ein sehr geiler Moshsound, das Publikum verließ sichtlich befriedigt den Saal. Nach ca. 10 Jahren Praxis kann man dies schon erwarten. Wer auf Thrash-Gemetzel steht (so wie ich) unbedingt anhören.

Sie haben auch ein neues Album draußen, was unter dem Buy&Support-Link gekauft werden kann!

Saw them live at this weekend in vienna and they just blew me away with their sound. Reap makes Thrash Metal similar to Sepultura / Soulfly. After a few seconds i knew that this 2 bands have to be their most important influences. Eventually Slayer is also a big influence. All in all a very great moshing-sound and the audience left the concert hall with satisfaction in their eyes. After 10 years practice they just have to be a good live-band i think. It's a really good Thrash-butchery. For the people who dig this style of music (as i do), just listen to it!

They also have a brand new release out that you can buy by clicking on the Buy&Support-Link!

pandoras.box - Golden Spoon (Single/Video) (2009)

Unglaublich was unsere Freunde pandoras.box aus Bayern nicht nur musikalisch, sondern auch lyrisch und konzepttechnisch produzieren. Auch die zweite Singleauskopplung Golden Spoon zeigt, dass das sehr innovative und erfolgreiche freie Album Barriers keine Eintagsfliege ist und man sichtlich mehr von ihnen hören wird. pandoras.box verdeutlichen uns, was wahre Musiker ausmacht. Für mich die Entdeckung des Jahres '09. Im februar werden sie auch wieder das Studio besuchen um ein weiteres Album aufzunehmen. Mehr zum ersten Album "Barriers" und freier Download hier!

Cale. - Cale. (EP) (2008)

Cale. Cale macht Ambient. Ambient im Stile von Tim Hecker.

Ambient mit der Atmosphäre eines verlassenen Bahnhofs mitten im Nirgendwo. Man hört und sieht den herannahenden Zug noch nicht, jedoch kann man schon die leichten Vibrationen an den Gleisen spüren und ein leichtes Brummen wahrnehmen. Es ist die Atmosphäre einer verlassenen, einsamen Bahnhofshalle in der Welt von Roland dem Revolvermann (Die Dunkle Turm Saga/Stephen King) oder die Ruhe und Melancholie der Heimat der Zoras (Zelda-Saga).

Cale macht Ambient. Und das wirklich gut.

___________________________________________________________

Cale. Cale makes ambient music. Ambient like Tim Hecker does.

Ambient with the atmosphere of a lost railroad station in the middle of nowhere. You can’t really hear or see the coming train yet but you can feel the soft vibrations on the railroad and notice the quiet growling in the distance. It’s the atmosphere of a lost and lonely railroad hall in the world of Roland the gunslinger (The Dark Tower/Stephen King) or the quiet peace and melancholia of the Zoras place (Zelda).

Cale makes ambient music. And this in a really great way.
