Band:TRAMAAFONA
Album:S/T.
Label:GREYTONE
Format:CD
Genre:Drone/Ambient
Trama afonA is the sound/visual project by Lorenzo Scacchia (Roma, 1977), a vain attempt to tramaphonise (convey) what he sees in the dark and hears into silence... Apart from a few self-productions, this album constitutes the first official release, gathering tracks composed between 2005 and 2008 (presented in reverse chronological order). Tracks 1, 3 were inspired by a wonderful creature. Tracks 2, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12 were composed as soundtrack for various solo photo/graphic exhibitions by Trama afonA. Track 4 drew inspiration from a story by H. P. Lovecraft. Track 11 was composed for an Italian compilation. Tracks 13, 14 were the soundtrack for the former Trama afonA's website. Trama afonA is gathering suggestions from the contemporary quotidian theatre and at the same time from the past, namely the 19th and early 20th centuries. Paying particular attention to the individual and specific human stories, rather than to History... Focusing on what happens behind the scenes, aside, beneath. Subjects and dynamics less showy, blurred, but not consequently less interesting or worth caring. Opening doors and drawers using the sole curiosity as tool, walking backwards the traces of memory, wandering amid shades and details given by mystery, decadence, abandon, romanticism... Carefully delving into psychological dynamics. Openly denouncing the social plagues, but often humbly providing just visual and sound suggestions. A brief semantic note about Trama afonA: the Italian noun trama has 3 significations, corresponding to the English plot (as a story line as well as a conspiracy) and weft (of a woven material); the adjective afona means aphonic.

Band:FUNKER VOGT
Album:LIVE EXECUTION 99
Label:Repo
Format:DVD
Genre:Industrial/EBM
Rerelease of the VHS-Tape "Live Execution '99" from German EBM / Electro legends Funker Vogt. This release is especially for the Funker Vogt fans, which always asked for a rerelease of this particular VHSTape on DVD. So here they get the original material, according to the standards of that time. The recordings are over ten years old, and so don't expect something like warzone k17, but more a historic document. We have added even older footage as for example recordings from the Zillo Festival in 1998 in Hildesheim, which later turned into the today well known M'era Luna Festival. Even old the quality is still good and something we think the fans will appreciate. Contains the long time deleted Funker Vogt Remix CD “t” on the DVD.

Band:NICK MOSS
Album:PRIVILEGED
Label:BLUE BELLA
Format:CD
Genre:Blues
After seven critically-acclaimed traditional blues releases (along with two Blues Blast Music Award wins and 16 Blues Music Award nominations under his band's collective belt), Nick Moss is taking a fresh approach and heading in an exciting new direction on Privileged. As Blogcritic Josh Hathaway writes in the liner notes, 'Privileged represents a change in direction but not inspiration. Before Nick met Jimmy Rogers, Jimmy Dawkins and Lurrie Bell, he met their musical offspring in the form of Led Zeppelin, The Allman Brothers, Free, Jimi Hendrix, ZZ Top, Cream and other legends who drew their inspiration from Mississippi's Delta and the immortal treasures that sprang from his beloved nearby Chicago.' Moss has written some of the finest songs of his career, and by stretching beyond the traditional blues idiom, he has expanded his sound without losing his identity.
Nick Moss is touring Europe August 2010 and is on the Cover of Blues Revue April/May 2010.
