You may love Pink Floyd beyond compare and perhaps as a fan, you may have heard a few tribute songs or albums or perhaps you, like me, went to a Pink Floyd tribute band concert. Here’s something that goes beyond what you would expect. This is The Pink Floyd Remix Project compiled by the Harsh Noise Movement, a label known for their experimental, avant-garde and hectic noise. In this case, it’s a lot of noise and occasionally throughout these tracks, you’ll hear something melodious. I will say this: the tribute album will not be to everyone’s liking. If you are someone who enjoys music from a very diverse world, you’ll get into this. Stream everything from the Bandcamp page and player above but if you find it to be of interest, do use the “Name Your Price” option.

REVIEW: Francesco Chiapperini’s InSight’s “Paradigm Shift”
Hearing something new from ther Germany-based label Aut is always unpredictable and I like that, because I enjoy having trust in a label but unsure of what they’re going to throw out into the world, and this is no exception. Paradigm Shift is a new project involving Francesco Chiapperini along with Simone Lobina and Simone Quatrana. What surprised me at first was the sound of guitars, as the label doesn’t offer shine the spotlight on guitarists or the sound of the guitar so I thought “whoa, what is this?” The music on this 7-track album felt more like a progressive rock album of a Pink Floyd variety but then things get more jazzy in pieces like “Atlas” and “Onlu Theme” and it’s more jazzy than what I’ve come to expect from Pink Floyd, even in their jazzier moments.
Yet ask someone who is more into progressive rock or even progressive jazz and they’re probably tell you “know, this sounds more like Krautrock” or “have you heard of Osanna? This sounds more like them but without ballads.” Regardless of what ones perspective is of this music, Paradigm Shift is something that does offer a new perspective each time you listen to it, and I like the fact I’m willing to listen to this differently and come out wanting to hear more.
VIDEO: The Silence’s “Ancient Wind Part 3”
“The Silence is a powerful force” says the e-mail and do I want to believe it? It’s not meant for me to believe but for you to believe in their Silence, in this case a new album called Hark The Silence (Drag City) and they want to lay a taste on your ears. It’s called “Ancient Wind Part 3”, which is a portion of the album’s opening 3-movement masterpiece. If you single it out and hear it as is, you may end up scratching your head to wonder what did I miss? Get involved and discover what you didn’t experience the first time. If you would like to find out more within the puzzle, the album is available below via Amazon.com
VIDEO: Native Construct’s “Mute”
David Brodsky directed this new video by Native Construct in support of their album Quiet World and it sounds like these guys may be highly influenced by the power of Mr. Bungle, if not just Mike Patton with their frequent musical genre flips and appreciations.

AUDIO: Mammatus’ “Ornia”
When I had seen the fonts for Mammatus and their new album Sparkling Waters, I thought I was reading Sparkling Walruses. I was about to go “ooh” and “what kind of creative mind came up with that?” I was wrong, the album is called Sparkling Waters, to be released on November 20th by a label which has another interesting name: Spiritual Pajamas. Now had they called themselves Spiritual Walruses, I could’ve just ended this post and say “buy it by default.”
Tendencies to the weird aside, have a listen to what they are doing and how they hope to entertain you with a song from their forthcoming effort, check out “Ornia”.

SOME STUFFS: Code stream “mut” album in full
mut (Agonia), the new album by Code, will be ready for Europeans tomorrow and the album is being streamed at this very moment. The album will hit North America on March 10th although in truth, I’m sure it’s already being pressed up right now, if it isn’t finished and in a warehouse somewhere but we in North America will have to wait for just under two weeks to have our copies. Don’t wait though, for you can listen to it now by heading here.
