Plastic Surgery Icon – "Roughly Human" (esc.rec. 035)
L'iniziale "I Sleep Badly With You Alive" mi accompagna in uno stato di leggera sospensione, tra il lento fluire di arpeggi di chitarra e le frequenti brevi pause determinanti. Ma non bisogna lasciarsi trarre in inganno. Questo non è solo un album acoustic/folk/guitar e lo lascia ben intendere la seconda traccia, "Ex Insomniac", racchiusa nelle sue disparità ritmiche disordinate, tra chitarra e basso all'unisono, cigolii vari, dissonanze, pause improvvise e radicali cambi di dinamica. Tra le influenze elencate nella press release trovo Animal Collective e Deerhoof (da notare che Greg Saunier ha partecipato al master di questo album) ma ci aggiungerei anche un tal Mike Keneally, chitarrista zappiano dell'ultimo periodo (ad un primo ascolto ho avuto un improvviso link cerebrale ad "Hat" del 1992). Meravigliosi spostamenti ritmici mi entusiasmano nella quinta traccia, "Noise Rock Paralympics"...sarebbe opportuno evitare di ascoltarla in cuffia mentre si cammina, potrebbe condurre ad inattesi barcollamenti. L'intero album ha un suono omogeneo e sebbene sia stato registrato con un software musicale non aggiornato da più di 10 anni, possiede una presenza e un calore notevoli. La voce di Plastic Surgery Icon non è certamente da "the best ten voices of the year" ma poco importa, la genuinità e la spontaneità che fuoriescono da "Roughly Human" sono tali tali da rendere qualsiasi piccolo difetto irrilevante.

Noise Problems 50th Release
Celebrating 50 releases on Noise Problems we decided to throw a party. For the 50th release we decided to record that party. The Secret Love Parade returns to Noise Problems a year after the OCCII recording from the Pageturner nr1 night, as well as NewYX formerly known as Storm from the Recipe Book night at the Winston release and introducing to Noise Probs two amazing bands Katadreuffe and Pony Pack. We are thrilled to have them complete the evening and make a fine extent to our live recordings collection.
March 11, 2011 was the date set for the event held at the OCCII in Amsterdam to celabrate the 50 releases at Noise Problems. All started quite natural recording a few nights here and there and before we knew it we had reached 50 bands on Noise Probs.
We had to do something about and decided to throw a party where we could choose the bands to record and called up some of the local Amsterdam bands we new from the scene. The Secret Love Parade were the perfect act of solid electronic beats and postmodern pop melodies to kick things off and set a mood for the evening. New YX where also known to us. Their sound is dary, a fusion of danceable electro and post-rock tunes great to make the transition to the loud part of the night.
Soon after Noise Problems debutants Pony Pack made the crowd move and the heat to rise with fiery guitar riffs. Katadreuffe sealed it by combining most of the above elements into their noisy, post-punkish (massive) sound wave which enveloped everyone in the place into a tight hug.
Also for the occasion of the 50th release a compilation was issued to commemorate. Its 23 tracks are available in 6 volumes for download here at the FMA. Great tracks selected from amongst the first 50 Noise Problems releases. Check out the Selections too. All shows were recorded live between 2007 and 2010 at various Amsterdam venues.

FrostWire Creative Commons Mixtape Volume 3
That's right! 2012 is over! We've had another amazing ride this year: we've reviewed a new free & legal album download for you every day [yes, weekends too!] and promoted 23 hand picked artists with our sister software FrostWire. With thisFrostWire Creative Commons Mixtape Volume 3 we would like to celebrate over 2,1 million free and legal downloads [and still counting!] generated only in 2012 by our promotions and the many additional ones that came from all FrostClick readers who fell in love with new artists found though our site.
If we would have been distributing our promotions still on CDs and lined them up by the shorter end side by side, we would need 162 miles [or 260 kilometers] of road to do so!!!
If we would have been distributing our promotions still on CDs and had to manufacture them all, we would have ended up with over 290 thousand pounds [or 131 thousand kilograms] of plastic!
If one download would equal one fan and all our artists would do a concert together, they would fill more than 118 Madison Square Gardens to accomodate them all!!!
