Many thanks to Bruce McEwen for hipping me to and supplying the new Kikagaku Moyo EP as the Opening Feature. The Closing Feature is an LP released 2 years ago by Chilean band Ankineton Retard - great heavy jazz.
Starting out with a look at the latest EP from Japanese psych band Kikagau Moyo - they've been around since 2013, picking up where Ghost left off, albeit in a less experimental vein. |

Blood of the Sun Mountain - Twin Peaks |
Bulldozer Offenbach - Soap Opera ![]() |
Toronto's Tontos Max Webster - S/T ![]() |
Entrenched in the hard-rockin' mid-70's material (with even a few Klassik Rawk bands in there)... and moving towards some closer-to-recent stoner heaviness... |
All in Your Mind Mahogany Rush - Maxoom ![]() |
Theta Wave Inductor Litmus - You Are Here |
To Be Real Liquid Visions - From The Cube |
Mass Meteoric Mind La Otracina - Reality Has Got To Die |
Time for the latest edition of the Merrie Mack (Mary Mackinnon RIP), starting with some mellower material, then hitting some of the more experimental stuff, like an interesting Collaboration between jazzists ICP, New York noisters Sonic Youth and Dutch punks The Ex! |
Karma Fursaxa - Lepidoptera |
Cruel Storm Espers - II |
Passing Over Brian Eno - Another Day on Earth (2005) |
VII Sonic Youth/ICP/The Ex - In the Fishtank |

Live II Papir - Live at Roadburn |
Posession Exploding Meet - Madison Shadwell ![]() |
Time Traveller Space Debris - She's a Temple |
From Neo-psych/kraut/stoner to some obscure Belgian prog , then veering into jazz/rock/fiusion territory. |
Test about a Rehabilitating Personality Lagger Blues Machine - Tanit Live |
Dragon Song John McLaughlin - Devotion |
Now into the final feature - the newest release (2015) from a great heavy-jazz band from Chile known as Akineton Retard. Touted as Neo-RIO... well, I'm not sure about that, but it's pretty phenomenal stuff. Drummer-led, too! And just so's y'know, their name has nothing to do with ancient Egypt or politically incorrect references to a mental state... Akineton Retard is an international brand name for the drug biperiden, an anticholinergic and anti-Parkinson's agent used as an adjunct in the therapy of all forms of Parkinsonism; control of extrapyramidal symptoms secondary to antipsychotics. |
