Utility Fog

Sunday, 12th of October, 2008

Music, music, music. We've got some jazz remixes in here near the start, initially pretty free electronic improv, then the wonderful Vert remixing the Novara Jazz Festival(!) - highly recommended - and also the newie from the The Matthew Herbert Big Band, wowee.
Qua's new album Q&A is out, and it's album of the week here on FBi.
We've got a sneak preview of the forthcoming Underlapper remix album, and a couple of tracks from the Lymbyc Systym remix album.
One of the albums of the year came out this week - In Ear Park, from Department of Eagles. It's been highly anticipated in these quarters, and most certainly does deliver. Among the things you can find on the net are a bunch of videos: four songs performed on a rooftop for Pitchfork.tv - Part 1 and Part 2, and a completely new track from Stereogum. Check 'em out.
Also new this week is the new album from Restiform Bodies, a much less discombobulated affair than their debut, and as yet I'm only convinced by a couple of tracks. Interesting all the same. And Melbourne's This is Your Captain Speaking do epic post-rock in a pretty straightforward but nonetheless accomplished manner.
