Yowie - Cryptooology

Skin Graft GR#74

This music for microtonal electric guitars and drumkit sounds like the hot, herkyjerky instrumental parts of classic Beefheart played about two or three times as fast. When I listen to Yowie (which has been an average of a dozen or so times per week since discovering it some six months ago), it feels like the secret equations of music are rolling by on a high-speed ticker-tape, making virgin encounters with mortal eyes. A likely candidate to crack my all-time top 30 albums list.

Excellent from my point of view, Mike....except....who are the performers?

Walt, that's what the record label link is for! Elegant, no? Not my habit, but at least a reasonable option for information management I suppose. This is just an exercise; my upcoming review of Hayleck/Niedhardt/Wright will be extremely wordy...

Another of Mike's recommendations that hits the mark in explosive fashion. Listen if you dare, these musicians are white hot and idiosyncratic
