Pan Daijing - Lack

 Τωρα.

 Lack is moving constantly. From the visceral to the reflective, from a faint tape hiss to a blinding digital sheen, from live performances to impromptu studio actions, from signal to noise, usually in the blink of an eye, working outside the listener's comfort zone and expectations. The same cut-and-paste method has been used with amazing results by Faust for the prodigious Rien, but here we have a debut. An amazing one actually.
 Pan Daijing excels at keeping the intensity at a peak, right just before it explodes to a formless mess, either with operatic vocalizing, dissonant loops or clinical pauses that makes you feel awkward, like you've been eavesdropping something that you shouldn't. But you do. And it's so fucking great.

Diamanda Galás - All The Way

O Death
(Traditional)

O Death
O Death
Won't you spare me over til another year?
Well what is this that I can't see
With ice cold hands takin' hold of me.

Well, I am Death, none can excel
I'll open the door to heaven or hell.

Whoa Death, someone would pray
Could you wait to call me another day?

The children prayed, the preacher preached
Time and mercy is out of your reach
I'll fix your feet til you can't walk
I'll lock your jaw til you can't talk
I'll close your eyes so you can't see
This very air, come and go with me
I'm Death, I come to take the soul
Leave the body and leave it cold
To draw the flesh up off the frame
Dirt and worms both have a claim.

O Death
O Death
Won't you spare me over til another year
My mother came to my bed
Placed a cold towel upon my head
My head is warm, my feet are cold
Death is a-movin' upon my soul
Oh Death how you're treatin' me
You've closed my eyes so I can't see
Well you're hurtin' my body
You make me cold
You run my life right outta my soul
Oh Death please consider my age
Please don't take me at this stage
My wealth is all at your command

If you move your icy hand
Oh the young, the rich or poor
Hunger like me you know
No wealth, no ruin, no silver, no gold
Nothing satisfies me but your soul.

Yoko Ono - Plastic Ono Band

Μονο ❤.

 When it comes to Yoko Ono, you can't avoid the L word. You just can't separate them, they did everything together for fuck's sake, I mean, they were together even when they broke up for a while. And don't forget that you can't unsee the photo of their asses on the back cover of Two Virgins. But if you can get past the hippie crap and ignore all the cliches that taint her reputation for no reason, you come across a great body of work that paved the way for a broad range of expression in music. Just check Hijokaidan, Tunnel Canary, Sonic Youth, Harry Pussy. Even Deerhoof. Lol.
 Her debut bridged the gap between White Light/White Heat and No New York, while some parts of it make me swear that Ringo and Co listened the shit out of Amon Düül's Psychedelic Underground, with THAT voice on top. Nothing sounds like it and nothing will. You can bring your Junkos and your Diamandas as an example on the table, but I don't care. Yoko is the Queen Mother of Screaming and this album is her Revolver.

Junko - The Void

  Ειλικρινα δε περιμενα ποτε πως θα προλαβαινα να ακουσω κατι ακομα πιο ακραιο απο τη δευτερη πλευρα του Sleeping Beauty. Πιστευα πως ο 21ος αιωνας ειναι καλυμμενος στη κατηγορια 'Γαμω το σπιτι σου μωρη τρελη' και πως το ωστικο κυμα του θα απορροφηθει πολυ αργοτερα, αν οχι ποτε. Κι ομως, η Junko ξεπερναει το αξεπεραστο 13 χρονια μετα για να βαλει τα τσουτσεκια στη θεση τους. 
 Ομως το πιο τρομαχτικο στην υποθεση του The Void δεν ειναι η αρχεγονη Τσιριδα, ουτε η δευτερη πειραγμενη πλευρα του δισκου, ασχετα και αν ειναι πολυ κοντα στις συνεργασιες της κυριας Hiroshige με τον Mattin. Ο πραγματικος τρομος ερχεται με τη συνειδητοποιηση πως ολοκληρο το 20λεπτο Full Void ειναι μια one-take ηχογραφηση. Δε διεκρινα cuts, οποτε αυτοματα η Junko μπαινει στη λιστα με τα προστατευομενα ειδη προς εξαφανιση, πανω απο την Adris Hoyos και τη Mariah Carey.
