I picked up a couple of CDs from the mosz label and really enjoyed them both. Then I cottoned on to fact that the MP3 shop Amie Street has the whole label discography (all for free at the time), so I thought "bugger it, time to go completist on this".

Here are some thoughts:

mosz 001 Kapital Band 1 - 2 CD

Already written about this. Not much new to add. I've read since this was supposed to be an abstraction of funk, and that's certainly not at all obvious on this first album.


mosz 002 Martin Siewert - No Need To Be Lonesome

I was disappointed by this one - I like his more improvisional stuff, like in Trapist and with (Mosz co-owner, Radian member) Martin Brandlmayr. It's more pop than his material usually is, and comes off a bit too Thrill Jockey? Like a one-man-band version of Tortoise or something - jaunty, busy beats cut up from sampled percussion, squeaky synth lines, some rock guitar. The melody lines and some of the harmonies are a bit stranger than usual, which is interesting, but I'm not sure it's one I'll be coming back to very often.


mosz 003 Szely - Welcome To My World

Didn't like this much either - very repetitive, with lots of blippy synthetic drum beats with window-shattering high pings and super sub tones. Bit Raster-Noton, but on top of that is lots of loops of guitars, some wordless vox, and other samples wandering through. Some tracks just strike me as a bit ugly from the start, others sound good but outstay their welcome, either due to the pace or form of development. It's not awful, but I didn't enjoy it much.


mosz 004 Metalycée - Another White Album

Bit of a bad run here... This is the Mosz release I like least, chiefly because it's based around metal, not a genre I enjoy. The base of the tracks is still electronic, and in a lot of ways the sounds are quite similar to e.g. the Szely ones, with blippy synthetic beats and so on. The original sources, though, are clearly metal metal guitar riffing. It doesn't exactly thrill me, and I'm not sure it even makes much sense when sitting in the background of fairly ambient tracks. Would've thought the thunderous, slow-mo dirge approach of bands like Earth would work better.


mosz 005 Gustav - Rettet die Wale

If I'd discovered Mosz's releases in chronological order I think this would've been a big surprise. Gustav (a woman, btw) sings - in English, French and German - over a mix of electronic sounds and sampled / edited instruments such as (what sound like) flutes, harmonium, violins and guitars. The instrumentation actually reminds me quite a bit of Patrick Wolf, or a less fussy Dntel. The vocals are kind of half sung / half spoken, which I guess put me in mind of Lali Puna and AGF of Laub to some extent, but she sounds more passionate and less icy than either of those. Need to give this more listens to really get into it, I think.


mosz 006 Lokai - 7 million

Beatless guitar ambience with occasional bursts of distortion. Feels like it could be on Touch sometimes, but then goes off into much brighter, friendler territory. Chiming guitar harmonics and the like. Can't think of much to say about it, but it's certainly one of the good ones.


mosz 007 Peter Rehberg - Fremdkoerper

AKA Pita and Mego label boss... This is a collection of tracks for a contemporary dance piece. I think it's superb, but it is hard going too. The beatless pieces feature loud, buzzing digital sounds, which are often very fierce and noisy. Although beatless, it would be a mistake to describe the tracks as either drone or ambient, because the material is resampled, scattered about the stereo field and bludgeoned so it stammers and lurches in unpredictable ways. Even the most droning track is cut off by an abrupt change.

The mix of "nice" tonal elements with quite aggressive treatments is a reminder that last I heard Rehberg he was collaborating with Christian Fennesz... It's great to hear what he's been up to solo.


mosz 008 Boris Hauf - Soft Left onto Westland
This guy plays sax in some pretty free improv groups, but here it sounds to be all synth based, or at the least no obvious acoustic instruments (beyond a few chiming noises and what sounds like insects on one track). Quiet, repeating electronic motifs and ambience puts me in mind of stuff like Mapstation, with occasional soft synthetic beats. The opening track is one of the weakest, to my mind, focusing on a clicking and skipping synth bassline that's really pretty unpleasant. From there on ni things get a lot nicer for a while.


mosz 009 Forest Jackson - Cymbalism
This is actually Static, who I associate with much more poppy electronic music labels like City Centre Offices and Morr Music. The opening track has a kind of electronic dub feel - drum hits booming through reverb, driving ride cymbals and echoing chord jabs. The album continues in this kind of vein - Monolake at their slowest, Torsten Profrock's Din label (Dynamo, Traktor) - and wraps up with a Rechenzentrum remix that cranks up the tempo and throws in a techno beat and scraping string samples. Nice one.


mosz 010 Pan•American - For Waiting, For Chasing

This is great. Definitely the best Pan•American album (well, most to my tastes) and a good step up from the decent Quiet City. Nelson's continued to expand his pallette of sounds and instrumentation, and has pulled right back on the muddy techno beats that ruined his earliest stuff for me. Singing bowls, flugelhorn, field recordings... An excellent ambient album.


mosz 011 Rashim - suns.shadows

There are some really good tracks here, but it's quite a funny mix of things - sampled acoustic guitar loops, atonal piano lines, techno beats and female vox in a mix of English & German. It's the most raw-sounding of the Mosz releases, production-wise. Quite dry- and clean-sounding. Yes, Xenakis lives up to its concept of combining Xenakis and techno quite nicely - acoustic drums are bashed and walloped a la something like Psappha against a pulsing drum machine and halfway in a loud piano line starts up.


(mosz 12's a DVD, who knows what happened to 13 - unlucky?)


mosz 014 September Collective - All The Birds Were Anarchists

Already written about this. I also put it in my end of year faves for last year and think it still holds up. Much more approachable and consequently probably less demanding than a lot of the Mosz releases.


mosz 015 Szely - Processing Other Perspectives

The second Szely album is more to my tastes. The guitars are more to the fore, and just a bit more pleasant sounding. Lots of slide which I like, especially in this kind of context, wandering about on top of semi-ambient beds with some chugging synthlines providing a vaguely anachronistic backdrop. Reminds me of Frippertronics and also (strangely) Michael Brook too, despite other tracks being much harsher and less well-mannered than he would ever be. The repetitive beats are still here, but are more pallatable. The last track is a song, and ... it's no good, IMO.

(mosz 016's not out yet)


mosz 017 Kapital Band 1 - Playing by numbers

Very different from the first record - three long tracks, with almost no distorted or typical "glitch" textures to any of them. Starts with untreated cello chords before a sparse, syncopated beat with bright synth-like stabs comes in. A chiming riff wanders about on top. The abstraction of funk idea they talked about with the first album seems to be realised here and the result is like Radian meets Timbaland. The track works through a series of subtle developments over 10 minutes, but is grounded in this repeating loop. Bizarre, intriguing, and really enjoyable. I reckon fans of The Necks would enjoy this album. Brandlmayr's worked with their drummer, Tony Buck, in the past. The last track is a song, and ... it's good, IMO. Weirdly sparse and mantra-like, and whichever of them is singing is no great chanteur, but the overall results is pretty decent.

Into the Wild
2007, Sean Penn




Into the Wild tells the fascinating story of Christopher McCandless, a young American man who, in 1990, at age 22 and after graduating from college, gave his savings ($24,000) to charity, burned his cash and went travelling around the USA. As planned, McCandless -- who travelled under the alias Alexander Supertramp -- ended up in Alaska in '92, where he lived in the wilderness for five months and eventually died of starvation. McCandless's story became known to the public after American writer Jon Krakauer published a book -- titled Into the Wild -- on him and his travels in 1996. McCandless, driven by his idealistic views and his distaste of the judging and materialistic society, became something of an heroic icon to fellow-minded people around the world. Sean Penn is probably one of those people. Into the Wild is his adaptation of Krakaukers book, and he tells McCandless's story with great admiration and dedication. And man...he does it great!

First, there's the acting, which is universally perfect. Lead actor Emile Hirsch shows himself to be a fine, fine actor. His McCandless is believable, likeable and above all understandable -- I could truly understand why he wants to escape Society.
The supporting cast -- Hal Holbrook, Jena Malone, William Hurt, Marcia Gay Harden, Catherine Keener, Brian H. Dierker, Vince Vaughn and Kristen Swewart -- delivers very well, too.
Then there's the absolutely beautiful cinematography. The United States make for some stunning visuals, especially the Grand Canyon and the plains of Alaska.
Third, there's the music. The music! Besides a great instrumental score by composer Michael Brook, the film features several original songs by Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder and those are wonderful. Vedder's soundtrack album (Into the Wild) contains 11 superb (little) tunes. Especially "Hard Sun" is just breathtaking.

Finally, there's Christopher McCandless, alias Alexander Supertramp. What an amazing "character". Sure, one could say he was an over-idealistic, naive and stupid boy -- a good map, a compass and better preparation would have saved his life --, but I'd like to think that's not really the point. I'd like to see McCandless as someone who had enough of this incomprehensible, messed up world. This life. This "society", or whatever you want to call it. I admire McCandless for having done what he wanted to do, even though it got him killed -- one could argue his death was metaphorical for us humans not being able to do whatever we want, even if it's wanting to be alone and not troubling anyone.

I'd like to think Into the Wild is an amazing, moving film about a young man who died trying to escape this superficial, obligation-filled life -- a young man who just did it.
You could say that thinking that makes me the same over-idealistic, naive and stupid boy McCandless could be seen to have been, but fuck it -- it's what I think right now.

From Indie Music Project - Los Angeles:



The official list of music groups showcasing their talents at SXSW this year has been announced and I've separated out all of those visiting Austin from the Southern California area.

As you can see there are some bigger names, prolific singer-songwriters, several buzz bands that have been circulating amongst several LA based blogs, and even some that we've played in the past on the Insomnia Radio: SoCal show.

You may recognize Bitter:Sweet, The Aggrolites, The Weather Underground, Oliver Future, The Willowz, Mezzanine Owls , Sam Sparro, Moss Bluff, Dead Rock West, Saul Williams, Pigeon John, and there are several more here we are planning on playing in the near future on the SoCal feed.

Vedder, Shakira Snag Golden Globe Music Nods
Eddie Vedder
December 13, 2007, 11:00 AM ET
Jonathan Cohen, N.Y.
Eddie Vedder, Shakira and Clint Eastwood are among the nominees in music categories for the 65th annual Golden Globe awards. Vedder is nominated with Michael Brook and Kaki King for best original score for "Into the Wild," and his song "Guaranteed," from the same film, will vie for best original song.

Shakira's "Despedida" (co-written with Antonio Pinto"), from "Love in the Time of Cholera," is also up for best original song, as are Clint Eastwood and Carole Bayer Sager's title song from "Grace Is Gone," Alan Menken's "That's How You Know" from "Enchanted" and "Walk Hard" from "Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story," penned by Marshall Crenshaw, John C. Reilly, Judd Apatow and Jake Kasdan.

The other best original score nominees are Eastwood for "Grace Is Gone," Alberto Iglesias for "The Kite Runner," Dario Marianelli for "Atonement" and Howard Shore for "Eastern Promises."

In other music-related nominations, the Beatles-driven musical "Across the Universe" will battle "Charlie Wilson's War," "Hairspray," "Juno" and "Sweeney Todd" for best musical or comedy, while the blues-themed "The Great Debaters" is up for best drama.

The period British drama "Atonement" leads the overall field with seven nominations, followed by the Tom Hanks-starring "Charlie Wilson's War" with five. The Golden Globes will be handed out Jan. 13 in Los Angeles.
