The Week in Review: Aker’s Deep Dive (14/6 - 20/6)

The Interdimensional Vortex is a bottomless pit. Diving deep into the murky depths is a risky game. Gems can be unearthed from the thick mire of releases beneath the tasty-if-safe pickings from the surface. There’s a reason, though, why many releases float the deeper depths. Some are niche - too extreme, too experimental, poorly publicised - and some are just bad. We embrace all at the Vortex. We know gems are rare and rarely we find them.

The Week in Review: Aker’s Deep Dive (31/5 - 6/6)

The Interdimensional Vortex is a bottomless pit. Diving deep into the murky depths is a risky game. Gems can be unearthed from the thick mire of releases beneath the tasty-if-safe pickings from the surface. There’s a reason, though, why many releases float the deeper depths. Some are niche - too extreme, too experimental, poorly publicised - and some are just bad. We embrace all at the Vortex. We know gems are rare and rarely we find them. But there are always interesting if flawed releases floating about in the deep aether. So, join me - Aker - for a weekly review of a week’s deep diving.

Rachel's Selenography

by Ferday on Tue, Jan 12, 2021

1999 [Quarterstick QS55CD]

Rachel’s formed in 1991 by Jason Noble (guitarist for hardcore band Rodan) who promptly recruited violist Christian Frederickson and semi famous pianist Rachel Grimes. in ‘95 they released Handwriting, which at the time (the normalisation stage of post rock) was unique for combining guitar based post rock tropes with minimalist classical composition and a variety of normal and not-so-normal instruments. Through the 90’s they released a string of experimental and sometimes spotty albums, with the number of guest musos and the density of instrumentation getting higher each release.
