OM - A Concert Review

This band rules. When they came to Montreal a couple of weeks ago they totally melted my brain. I had the perfect glow going, a little weed and some beers, and when they launched into their set, the rumble of the bass rendered any ear plugs useless and committed your body to the drone of illumination.

Wow!

Me and my friend Matt could not conceal our joy. We were totally ecstatic.

I woke up the next day, I felt like I had taken a really heavy drug. The sound was a powerful psychedelic. After their set the crowd stood in a daze, taking long seconds to realize what had happened.

Walls of bass fuzz, parallel motion, sparse drums, shaker.... so loud the sound moves over you like a wave of water and you're at the mercy of its awesome power... don't resist, relax and become it.

Om fucking slayed!

Check out their side of their split release with Current 93. Great intro to this awesome band. True psychedelic music, no gimmicks.

Malini Rajurkar

Some amazing, heady, tripped-out, tradition trance music from Northern Indian. I came across this recording at my time in CKDU and has since became a favorite of mine. The tambura drones are thick and spin around your head. Malini Rajurkar is an amazing vocalist, she sends shivers down your spine and warms your whole body. Groovy, thick, and melodious. Rajurkar moves through the modes like rowing a boat down a stream, seamlessly and effortless. Accompanied by harmonium and tabla, these three ragas will have you seeing the light in no time!

White Zombie - Soul-Crusher

I became intrigued by the first White Zombie album when I read that likes of Thurston Moore, and Kurt Kobain were fans of the record. And what great piece of disgusting filth this record is. I mean this is such a sloppy, grimy, noisy record. Everything is drunkenly slurred and unintelligible, the whole album is a lysergic, zombie, speed trip. Also really cool Ralph Steadman inspired art! Fans of Pussy Galore and curious ears give a listen, this isn't the White Zombie you thought you knew!
