Interesting Music Promotions are again delighted to announce another evening of the very best in experimental music............ Monday 9th Feb 03 Dr Drakes Doors 8pm Fee 5 Twine & VJ Phase4 Data Thieves DRN Phase 4's visuals will play a stunning & integral part of Twine's set www.twinesound.com go to this link & checkout their very excellent PITCHFORK review & what the press say about their past releases & live shows this is how themilkfactory reviewed their last release Twine have constantly refined their sound since the release of their first album, Reference, four years ago, redefining the boundaries within which their music evolves and uncovering new grounds with each album. Greg Malcolm and Chad Mossholder met at high school in the late eighties, and after learning the ropes in a variety of rock bands during the nineties, eventually formed Twine. Now based far apart from each other, Malcolm in Baltimore, Maryland, and Mossholder in Boulder, Colorado, the pair have learnt to adapt and allowed Twine to evolve in a totally unique way, each member performing live independently as well as together under the Twine banner. Their last two records, Circulation, released on Swedish label Komplott, and Recorder, released on Bip-Hop, showed a progressive move toward extreme sonic abstraction, yet using traditional instruments to expand their glitch-ridden soundscapes. With this fifth album released in as many years, Twine transcend more than ever the electronic nature of their music, basing the almost entirety of these nine tracks (ten on the LP) on guitars and pianos, creating elegant moody structures on which vocals components get trapped, looped and deconstructed to become simple components of the compositions. The electronic backbone is kept working in the background, bringing discreet textures to each track while at times, seismic percussions smash the ethereal ambience to introduce a mechanical element. A stark contrast from the austere abstraction of their previous album, Twine appears incredibly organic and pure, evoking the sonic affluence of My Bloody Valentine, the contrasted terrains of Seefeel and the dark meanderings of Aphex Twins Selected Ambient Works Vol. 2, with haunting touches of Dead Can Dance layered over luscious soundscapes. Scattered all throughout this album, the voices of Shelly Gracon and Alison Scola, in turn drones, mesmerising songs or lacerated conversations, develop as integrant part of the music, becoming simple sound sources. After a short intro in the shape of G_R_V, built around excerpts of conversations, Plectrum sets the tone, with a strummed guitar guiding intriguing vocals through the murky ambience created by Malcolm and Mossholder. The appropriately entitled Piano is reminiscent of the collaboration between the Cocteau Twins and Harold Budd on The Moon & The Melodies. Yet, here, the naked piano melody is draped in swathes of distortions, emphasising on the atmospheric nature of the composition as the track evolves almost imperceptibly. Whereas on Pendant and the LP-only Sbrent, Twine offer a collection of slightly more conventional ambient soundscapes, they build, with the epic Kalea Morning, a particularly haunting piece of music, mixing oriental and occidental singing over layers of processed guitars and syncopated beats, adding discreet glitches all the way through. As the composition slowly develops, it reveals more and more beautiful luminescent sonic touches swirling around an ethereal melodic cloud. The spooky Asa Nisi Masa is by far the most intriguing moment on offer here, as the pair assemble processed reversed vocals over a hypnotic. If the use of processed vocals, guitars and pianos is not entirely new, the sonic landscapes exposed on this album are incredibly dense and denote the unusual approach to sonic structures adopted by Twine over the last few years. By far one of the most fascinating record released this year, Twine transcends genres like no one else. 4.9/5 (milkfactory uk voted it their no2 favourite release of the year. And i didn't mention the Coldcut connection once..........

Monday night doors 8pm some changes to line-up but for the better surprises in store

This is worth saying again Interesting Music Promotions are delighted to announce:- Saturday 22nd November 2003 Dr Drakes Doors 8.00pm Fee 5.00 Featuring the very best of Scottish female singer songwriters for a very RARE gathering in Aberdeen. Monica Queen with Johnny Smillie Kathryn Sawers Jo McCafferty now read on Monica Queen has sang "Streets of Baltimore" with the Jayhawks, "Cortez the Killer" with Grant Lee Buffalo, "Fairytale of New York" with Shane McGowan. She was also the singer in Thrum who starred on the Word, were featured in Mojo, appeared many times in session on Mark Radcliffe's show and made a wonderful album 'Rifferama' in San Francisco. With Thrum, Monica was compared to many great singers such as Emmylou Harris and Maria McKee. Monica now records/performs under her own name but works closely with Johnny Smillie from Thrum. The result of their work together is 'Ten Sorrowful Mysteries' and was released through Creeping Bent on the Feb 2002. Following the release of this album Monica was dubbed by Uncut magazine as the "Royal Highness Of Glumbient Folk. Her voice was described by Mojo magazine in reference to her contribution to the Belle and Sebastian hit - Lazy Line Painter Jane - as "Lifting the song to another, devastatingly human level, like a back street, whiskey-drenched Emmylou" Together with Johnny Smillie (producer and guitarist) They have made "One of the most heart rendingly powerful records you will hear-a work touched with genius" (Metro), "In strong contention for solo debut album of the year" (Scotland On Sunday) The key elements are "Johnny Smillie's aching guitar and Queens lovelorn voice which "Make a spine tingling combination"(Scotsman) and "Superbly haunting electronica" which "make for a truly original sound"(The List) Kathryn Sawers is another original performer. Her intense performance style is a double edged sword. Akin to Tori Amos with similarities to Cerys Mathews yet in truth comparable to no one. Her husky, stark breathless vocals accompanied on piano playing which is at times melodic and at other times brutal. She sits serenely, beautifully at the piano, she looks like an angel. And then she starts, she stares at the audience, she's staring at you and it is frightening! Try and avoid the witchy eye contact, she's going to get you. Last year Kathryn recorded one of the greatest unreleased albums of all time which if it ever see the light of day would surely establish her as one of our most unique singer/songwriters. "Scary, but as special as buttons" Jo McCafferty has been performing since the age of fourteen. Her first album, "Nothing Whispered to Katy" was created at age seventeen the day after leaving school and received wide acclaim, this recording led to her taking part in and leading many different projects within the Aberdeen music circuit. Jo has enjoyed supporting various singer/songwriters who have played in Aberdeen; these include acts such as Dr. Robert, Lucy Kaplansky, Carol Laula, Horse, Glen Tilbrook, Midge Ure, Fish, Donnie Munro and David Kitts. Towards the end of 2001 Jo started work on the long awaited second album, "Radiaxial". Throughout this period Jo's profile rose as she started to play live again more and more. The album is an acoustic album, designed to showcase the songs and Jo's voice. Jo's work has been a big hit round the world with one German fan writing: "Radiaxal is strong, haunting and intensely personal... Poetry and storytelling rolled into one... Radiaxal is a beautiful, sparse instrumented album, lyrically poignant and stunning in its power and emotional intimacy." Jo has just released a new acoustic album called 'The Eight Year Gap" which is comprised of sessions recorded between 'Nothing Whispered to Katy' and Radiaxial.

Interesting Music Promotions are exceedingly chuft to announce:- Monday 8th December 2003 Dr Drakes Doors 8.00pm Entry 6.00 The line up Schneider TM Christ Scientific Support Dept Now read on SCHNEIDER TM It's time to blast preconceptions of electronica as cold, minimal, distant knob twiddling to oblivion once and for all, and Dirk Dresselhaus, aka Schneider TM, is just the man to do it. His second full length album, Zoomer, harnesses a sublimely modern depth of musical vision to the hard won wisdom of life experience. A proper album, developed over the course of three years, Zoomer is the sound of electronica, at last, with something to say. What about genuinely crafted songwriting? Check. Pop hooks? Check. Catchy vocal melodies? Check. Wry humor? Check. Schneider TM brings a singer-songwriter sensibility for words and music to the ambitions of a sonic explorer. He calls it "chemical listening", being able to hear layers of ear-teasing, soul tickling sounds, threaded personal beliefs and hopes. The more you listen, the more you discover. It's hard to think of another artist in the field of electronica who has yet done come up with the goods as he does with blinding success. Last year's 'Binokular' split mini album with long time musical foil KPT. Michi.Gan paved the way. Its stellar track was the stunning, and ubiquitous, 'The Light 3000', a breath-catching cover of The Smiths' 'There Is A Light That Never Goes Out'. Perfectly pitched, its nave, coolly glistening electronica deftly counterpoints the yearning, emotional recklessness of Morrissey's lyrics. 'The Light 3000' inadvertently gatecrashed the trashy bootleg / bastard-pop scene and offered something beating with sincerity. It spread virus-like to everyone from Desperate Soundsystem DJ Jarvis Cocker (who was quoted as saying he always used to it open his sets) to Rough Trade's genre-defining Electronica 01 compilation, came in at number 8 in John Peel's Festive 50, (that's as voted by listeners), and was embraced by everyone from die-hard indie fans to dance music softies and anyone who ever had a heart. Over the past three years, Schneider TM has remixed in inimitable style the likes of Lambchop, Labradford, High Llamas, Quarks and Ruby among others. A noise-record with Pansonic's Ilpo Vaisanen is in the can and Norwegian folkster Erlend Oye (Kings of Convenience) has asked him to collaborate on his forthcoming solo project. With Zoomer, Schneider TM defies expectations of aural wallpaper electronica with a grace, passion, & wit that are the mark of a songwriter whose talents are in full bloom. Right now, Schneider TM has just detonated an electronic pop bomb. Watch it explode. CHRIST Much like his namesake, Christ has been shrouded with the kind of mystery and rumour mongering that's worthy of the richest biblical mythology. Christ has been one of the most revolutionary figures within the Scottish electronic music scene since the mid 90's with his appearance on Boards of Canada's classic 'Twoism' EP. After a prolonged absence whiled away rebuilding his studio, Christ returned to the fray with his 7-track mini album 'Pylonesque'. The album gained instant critical acclaim and was soon heralded as a classic. 2002 saw Christ headline Japan's 'Metamorphose' festival playing to over 30,000 people alongside Green Velvet. He performed at this year's Sonar and was hailed as the highlight of the festival. Influenced by the sound of contemporaries and colleagues, Christ continues the theme of nostalgic and psychedelic structures within the loose boundaries of electronic music. Distancing himself from the 'do it by numbers' IDM handbook, Christ washes his ideas with a haze of atmosphere and layers of emotive, evocative sound. Much that has come to be regarded as clich within the electronic music scene finds at its root an association with the music that Christ helped visualise in the first place all those years ago. Christ's full-length album 'Metamorphic Reproduction Miracle' is now available on Benbecula. The album has also already received airplay on John Peel, Breezeblock, Radio 1 'Session in Scotland', Radio Magnetic, Resonance FM to name a few. SCIENTIFIC SUPPORT DEPT. Scientific Support Dept. is an electronic dub collective led by Docherty. Though "Cabbageneck" is their debut album, their music has been slipping into the Scottish sub-conscience over the last few years, with a series of compilation appearances, gigs, theatre and film scores and remixes. SSD have appeared on Creeping Bent compilation albums "Bentism," "Electronic Lullabies" and "Bent Boutique" and on instalments 6 and 12 of the Creeping Bent singles club. Docherty has also written the music for two TAG Productions "Othello" (199, "Stroma" (2000) and more recently for "Among Broken Hearts" (Traverse Theatre Company, 2000), MacBeth (Awarehaus Theatre Company, 2001) and "Helmet" (Paines Plough Theatre, 2002). He has also completed work on music for short films, "Clingfilm" (1999) and "Jura Dub" (2000). SSD have remixed artists as diverse as Alan Vega, DJ Harri, Mount Vernon Arts Lab and Adventures in Stereo.

Monday 6th October Dr Drakes Doors 8.00pm 1st time visitors to Aberdeen, Scotland & the UK SOULO (USA) + AMMONITE + DRN Soulo (Plug Research) _ Psychedelic rock, bluegrass, and avant-garde electronics are micro-mixed into hypnotic tapestries. An orchestra of French horn, clarinet, banjo, flute, and trombone make the mix rich. Drums crunch in line with bleeping blips as violins drip sweet nothings into open ears. Soulo's sounds come from every angle to unify in a solid design. Soulo stand singular. You can reach for days trying to glue them to comparisons: dots connect to the glacial crescendos of SIGUR ROS, cosmic rock of the Flaming Lips, and the hyper eclecticism of the BETA BAND; but these are only dots. Soulo's unique vision of melting pot electronica flashes through. __ Exquisite. Ben Borthwick The Wire _ Melodic and upbeat, sigur ros style orchestral gravity wells, ecstatic psychedelia and plaintive drum machine loneliness. Soulo sketch curiously affecting miniatures with conviction and skill. Richard Fontenoy Grooves _ A beautifully brutal genre-fuck. One second you?re hearing DJ Shadow-style rolling beats, next its a mandolin breakdown, then an indie rock inspirational chorus. Opening with one of the best bass and drum samples since Eric B and Rakim would be enough to justify this album. Terrific. Rob Viola Tokion _ _ 9/10_ Highly imaginative, skilfully natural sounding and original.
