some reviews roll in

Ear Candy Magazine reviewed my dRed project's "Found Sounds Vol. 1" album and also wrote a piece on Curt Porter's (my brother-in-law) "India Journals". Both can be found here

But to save you scrolling:

Curt Porter,"India Journals" (Whose Mother Records)
This started off like an Indian version of Primus with the song “I Wasn’t Born A Saint” but soon changed gears to a more subdued sound. “Circus” is another track from out of left field. I really enjoy the odd stuff and by odd I mean the songs that don’t fit the mold. Mr. Porter has accomplished that on more than one occasion with “India Journals”. This is his self proclaimed attempt at expressing some of what he saw during his travels to India and I think he’s succeeded at giving us a glimpse.

dRed,"Found Sounds Volume One" (Whose Mother Records)
In this day and age digital editing is launching musical creativity forwards very quickly allowing you too cut, paste, twist, layer, and loop to create abstract electronic pieces that the mind and it’s senses can barely fathom. And this side project of J-Sin known as D Red is a great example of this new revolutionary mind manipulation including some guest appearances by Paris Hilton and The Hiroshima Boys Choir. In “Factory Leg” J-Sin creates a sci fi world of bloops and bleeps, here and there and they are coming and going in a world where time is absent where there are no beats just randomness, a perfect backdrop for a intergalactic post war struggle. With “Spelunking In the Dead of the Chilly Nightlife”, I think of alien abductions, waking up on a cold metal table with wires coming out of my head and abdomen and feeling afraid and violated in the worst sense. I’m sure we would do the same thing to aliens if we found them. Right? “Position Faded” throws you into a realm as an automaton in the industrial sense. The same movements over and over, day after day, reminding me that we are all tiny little pistons working hard making the world grow and grow as we slowly destroy it. Seriously this material is decent, interesting, and intriguing but don’t take it home to your mother, she wouldn’t understand.

pretty cool huh?
