The first release on the Six Armed man label is hopefully a statement of intent. This release is experimental without being unlistenable and suitably challenging to take the listener beyond normal scopes of what may be termed as generic music. A refreshing approach to delivering new music to our ears and excellent visually stimulating packaging too.

Details:

 

 

1. Manual manipulation of volume and stereophonic position in high density 2. Love ballad 3. Conclusion of high density 4. Exordium 5. Oscillation in transition 6. Floaty Gumphead 7. Track 21 8. Foetus 9. Syllogism 10. Brief introduction to high density 11. Euphony 12. Belief

REVIEWS

Six Armed Man is an experimental music record label that was launched by Falling A records to allow the release of music not bound by conventions or restrictions. Some releases have been characterised by not having any reference to the artist/artists involved in the release, this being a case in point - the front cover shows the aforementioned SAM, but not a lot else. Avant-garde is certainly the order of the day here, although the results are generally pleasing. The first track takes the record for longest title, namely "Manual Manipulation of Volume and Stereophonic Position in High Density. And do you know what? It does exactly as it says on the tin! What you have is general manipulation of sound and samples to produce, well, music, although unlike anything you have heard in a long while. There is structure and rhythm in all these tracks, although the repetitiveness of some may cause your brain to explode, or at the least give you a headache. Saying all that, the like of Cabaret Voltaire in the past used such noises and samples to great effect in their output. It's a little bit too clinical and lacks emotion for my liking, although Track 7, "Track" does sound rather good and would not feel out of place in a Sci-Fi film soundtrack. Track 11, "Euphony", is probably the most commercial sounding of the lot, since it does have a recognisable structure and layer to it, although sadly it lasts all of 60 seconds. I'm going to have to listen to it a few more to get my head around them, but fair play once again to Falling A who seem to find a place for all the niche musical offerings.

New Order Electronica Kraftwerk
Price:
£7.99

Third album from the prolific and highly respected General Kustard. "A progressive, futuristic and dynamic assault on you ears with cool sounds and brilliantly crafted musical structures". Receiving airplay on BBC Radio One Steve Lamacq show who makes the inevitable comparison with heyday New Order.

Price:
£8.99

This album is the first album of new material by former insane picnic frontman Barry Lamb since 1991's "Seven Secrets". "Experimental music that will challenge your listening boundaries. This album is stark but with an ambient undercurrent. Influences are far reaching, as experimentalists such as Beaver & Krause, John Cage, Harry Partch & Amm meet alongside more contemporary elements such as PiL, Eno, Can and the industrial scene of the early 80's".

Jasun Martz, Frank Zappa, Progressive rock, Avant-Garde
Price:
£13.99

When composer and keyboardist Jasun Martz was touring with FRANK ZAPPA on his 1977/78 world tour as Frank's synthesizer programmer, Martz was also composing a symphony-THE PILLORY. The avant-garde, contemporary classical, experimental, prog rock, mellotron masterpiece featured over 40 musicians including members of Zappa's band (Ruth Underwood, Eddie Jobson and others).  The recording has been released on 4 different labels through the years and is considered a legendary release.  25 years on, Jasun has finally recorded the sequel and surpassed his original masterpiece with "The Pillory / The Battle" which is an astounding symphony comprising elements of emotive beauty, brash chaotic volume and moments of starkness. The 115 member Intercontinental Philharmonic Orchestra were hand picked from all corners of the earth by Jasun to perform this historic recording.
