This Tuesday November 2nd - Styrohead with Lyle Crilly
        and General Chaos Visuals

Improvisational madness from the schizophrenic minds of
Joe G (Styrohead) and Lyle Crilly: urban sounds, voices, static,
deep drones and deepspace wierdness. Lap steel & laptop
from Lyle (who's also a Native Instruments rep) will blend
with guitar, loops and classic hardware synthesizers from Joe.
General Chaos Visuals will add their dimension to the headspace.

Between Sets CD - "Archive One" by Anomalous Disturbances
The third of Vancouver looping guitarist Terry O'Brien's CD
releases from his Anomalous Disturbances project featuring
deep and enveloping ambient soundscapes. (Disappearing Music)

rik maclean's *ping things* CD Reviews

James Johnson's "Lightness" release continues along the
same exploratory paths of his earlier disc "Environment 1".
A single piece spanning almost 30 minutes, "Lightness"
uses a combination of pads and waveforms combined with
more organic string instrumentation to create a beautiful
example of the atmospheric ambient genre. Pads travel
through the soundfield in slow arcs, ebbing and flowing like
the drift of tides. A mournful cello passes throughout the
piece playing notes that fall like tears from hooded eyes.
Sparse piano plays at intermittant points, a sound of hope,
of brighter tommorows. It's all so beautiful, so perfect,
so natural.

James Johnson's work has been recognized as among
the best in the genre, and with "Lightness" he reminds us
that recognition is well deserved. Essential...
