“soundtrack for a day by the train tracks”
From the fetid depths of the bog: Mother Raspberry & A.R.C.'s Inauguration of the Frasierdome proves that in the Dome, it's always Thursday night — a two-part concept album inspired by one of the greatest American sitcoms of all time. syn.terra's Kharybdis offers piano-driven industrial jazz swamp grooves fit for a stroll through a swamp at sunrise, while Aeon / Umbrasia dredges mechanical jazz straight from the bog — the fetid growth from jazz and industrial's shared casket. Dino DiMuro and Kelly Kintner's The Fight for the Last Cigarette takes a nasty psychedelic solo built on djembe, kalimba, and a wooden dinosaur — no loops, no samples, all human. Ultimate Rick Jones' St. James Infirmary Blues renders the tragic traditional tale with dark, mournful strangeness for a modern audience.
