Uprock + The Aphasia Group comb the detritus and effluvial ejaculate of
noise, Americana, punk, free jazz, laptop wankery and improvisational
percussion, offering music enthusiasts a feast of digital discharge, cover
songs, recorded minutes from kelpandcircuits board meetings, and archival
tracks from unheard Oakland improv jam sessions. Highlights include: field
recordings culled from peep show booths, a scanline synthesized glial cell
migration, free jazz mash-ups, oodles of live instruments (digitized and
reprocessed guitars, drums, horns and percussion), pedals, patches, a
contact mic'd fixed gear bicycle, and an amplified potato. Think Milford
Graves and The Nihilist Spasm Band in conversation with Tom Ze and Masami
Akita. Imagine a celebrity "jam band" fronted by Peter Brotzmann and
Eugene Chadbourne uniting ex-members of Matching Mole, Mission of Burma
and Throbbing Gristle for one epic, sun-kissed late '70s performance.
Expect everything from minimal, digital guitar workouts and sinewy found
sound collage, to hectic beat frenzies and dubby jeep bumps.
Stellar trumpet and guitar expertise from the late Joel Rabinow (ex-Drunk
Horse), a beautiful booklet of The Aphasia Group's bitcrumbled
photomicroscopy, and some seriously damaged MPEG work courtesy of San
Francisco pixel wrangler Scott Pagano round out the disk to obese
proportions. Like a Powerpoint presentation for your ears, Jungle Green
Memes is sure to please even the most discriminating music aficionados.
Tigerbeat six leading the field in mash up effluvial discharge for the
