Minimal Compact - Creation Is Perfect (2019)

Minimal Compact

Creation Is Perfect

2019)

An album of new versions of classic tracks by Minimal Compact and yet so much more besides. Now they have reconvened, together with producer and long-time collaborator Colin Newman (Wire), to finally capture their music in its true brilliance. Several of the band's signature songs have been re-recorded using a mix of live recordings and studio tooled performances. The result is an album that radiates vitality and sheer class. Highlights include live favourite "Statik Dancin" with its barbed hooks and irresistible groove. The bright, tender optimism of "My Will" is especially moving, with Spigel's vocal at the fore. Then there is "Take Me Away", with its tightly coiled hypnotic guitar lines edging towards mania. The album climaxes with a brand new song, "Holy Roller". "Creation is Perfect" is an album of power and depth that demands repeated plays. Crackling with energy and immediacy, this is the sound of a band reaching a new level of creativity.

Ranaldo Jarmusch Urselli Pandi (2019)

Lee Ranaldo, Jim Jarmusch, Marc Urselli, Balazs Pandi

self-titled

(2019)

New York based producer Marc Urselli had the idea to bring people together who had never met before and let that meeting of minds create beautiful soundscapes. Film director and musician Jim Jarmusch, Sonic Youth co-founder and guitarist Lee Ranaldo shared space with versatile drummer Balázs Pándi for a night session at Urselli's EastSide Sound studio in downtown NY. These are the unfiltered results. Absorbing instrumental patterns of cinematic sounds and improvised rhythms. No overdubs, no editing. All was recorded live and analog, produced and mixed by Marc Urselli. The front/back coverfotos were taken by photographer William Semeraro in Norway. That is why Marc Urselli gave all the songs titles inspired by Norwegian mythology.

To do the pogo dance

So get your both feet up off the ground

What goes up - must come down

Why move from side to side

When you can jump up and down

Horror Week on Goodreads!

"Horror fiction has traditionally dealt in taboo.… It makes monsters of household pets and begs our affection for psychos. It shows us that the control we believe we have is purely illusory, and that every moment we teeter on chaos and oblivion."

- Clive Barker

We hope you aren't easily frightened...because these reading recommendations will haunt you long after you've read the last page. So, what are you waiting for? Won't you join us in our celebration of horror's latest and greatest?

Fresh Hell: Meet the Rising Stars of Horror:

What madness lies ahead for your reading list?

If you want a real scare, set aside your beloved horror classics - you know what darkness lurks within their pages, what chilling plot twists await. Aren't you ready for a different breed of monster? A truly unknown sense of dread? Then perhaps it's time to update your Want to Read shelf with the newest voices of the genre! To help you get started on your spooky reading journey, we rounded up the breakout stars of horror. From Christina Henry's dark, disturbing retellings of children's stories to Victor LaValle's occult epic, "The Ballad of Black Tom", these are gripping tales of fear and foreboding for the modern era. For this list, we focused on authors who have recently published at least two popular horror books. Browse the titles and find something new to tingle your spine.

Lovecraft's Twisted Legacy:

Victor LaValle examines Lovecraft's long-lasting influence

Victor LaValle knows his way around a scary tale or two. He's the author of the horror novels "The Ballad of Black Tom" and "The Changeling" as well as the graphic novel series "Destroyer", which is a modern reimagining of Frankenstein’s monster, among many other books. His work has earned him numerous awards, including a Whiting Award, a Guggenheim Fellowship, a Shirley Jackson Award, and an American Book Award. In addition to creating his own creepy stories, LaValle is a connoisseur of classic horror and wrote the introduction to the just-released "The New Annotated H.P. Lovecraft: Beyond Arkham". Here LaValle explores the long reach of Lovecraft's influence on the horror genre.

Graphically Great Horror:

Monstress' Marjorie Liu recommends graphic horror novels

Marjorie Liu is the author of more than 19 novels and the co-creator and writer of the award-winning horror fantasy graphic novel series "Monstress". The series - whose honors include an Eisner, a Hugo, a Harvey, and a British Fantasy award - is set in an alternate, matriarchal 1920s Asia and follows a girl’s struggle to survive the trauma of war. Liu's comic book work also includes the "Dark Wolverine" series, "NYX: No Way Home", "X-23", "Black Widow: The Name of the Rose", and "Astonishing X-Men". In addition, Liu is an attorney and teaches comic book writing at MIT. Here she recommends some of her favorite graphic horror novels, which are all "stories of women and girls confronted with monsters - without and within."

New (and Upcoming) Terror:

Creepy kids, spooky woods, nightmarish house guests: A list for sleepless nights

22 New and Upcoming Horror Books to Keep You Up at Night

A sinister institute for "extranormal" children. A couple whose dream home attracts unsettling guests. A woman who becomes well-acquainted with the monsters lurking in the woods. These are just a few of the year's most foreboding frights that are haunting our readers' dreams. Fans will recognize many favorites in this roundup, including Stephen King (of course), Joe Hill, Paul Tremblay, and Robert R. McCammon. We also have Stephen Chbosky, author of "The Perks of Being a Wallflower", venturing into the world of supernatural suspense with Imaginary Friend. And just how did we narrow down our list? We took a look at the most popular horror novels, novellas, and short story collections published this year so far as well as upcoming releases (we've included their publication dates below). Then we focused on the number of additions to Goodreads members' Want to Read shelves to measure buzz and anticipation. Which of these spine-tingling tales will you be adding to your bookshelf? Tell us!

Top 50 Horror Novels:

From Mary Shelly to Shirley Jackson

Hear the scratching on the wall? Feel a chill run down your spine? The frightening thrills of our favorite horror novels have a way of reaching out from beyond the page - casting shadows, whispering in our ear, haunting us long after the story is done. For Horror Week, Goodreads set out to reveal the most popular horror stories. To create our list, we focused on the books that have been added the most to Goodreads members' shelves. From literal monsters to purely psychological terrors, these are tales of madness and pandemonium, retribution and absolution. Long heralded as the "Master of Horror," Stephen King reigns supreme, with five books on our list, but his son Joe Hill is not far behind, nabbing four spots. And along with classics from Mary Shelley and Edgar Allan Poe, Robert Kirkman's end-of-the-world comic, "The Walking Dead", made the cut as well as an award-winning children's ghost story, "The Graveyard Book", from Neil Gaiman. And now we present the top horror books on Goodreads in alphabetical order. Proceed at your own risk - and then tell us how many you've read.

The Nightmare Generator:

The mysterious music project (((S))) returns from the cold and windy streets of Copenhagen with the brand new album "Black Dog".

"Black Dog" includes a collection of 8 songs in which (((S))), together with Denmark's best backing musicians, lead through dark soundscapes of guitar walls, solid drum beats and sparkling basses interwoven with frugal, distorted vocals that make you think.
