Review : http://singersong.homestead.com/newsingers-13.html#anchor_564 * Hoopoo! Thesoulraydio : Tip Toe Glow (US,2006)**° Extremely loose, organic diseased grandparents’ bedroom fantasy musings.

Review : http://singersong.homestead.com/newsingers-12.html#anchor_531 * Pronoia Viarosa : Porous (UK,2005)**** Tr.1, “Porous” 4 min Tr.2, “Where the killers run” 5 min Tr.4, “Wake” 4 min -13 -69 There are some strong, different than others expressions done in an Americana milieu. A mixture of late Nick Cave with Johnny Cash is a perhaps exaggerated but not so bad description for the music. I think I like the EP better than the full release. Most songs from EP are also on the full release. Recommended. Review : http://singersong.homestead.com/newsingers-12.html#anchor_541 * Pronoia Viarosa : Where the killers run (UK,2005)**** Review : http://singersong.homestead.com/newsingers-12.html#anchor_541 * Tract V.A. : What are the museums doing ? (US,2006)°°° Tr.8, Derek Joe Brockett : “Dust” 4 min -73 This song is a good bad taste of a sneezing cowboy Elvis. Definitely my favourite song of the compilation. Review : http://singersong.homestead.com/poor.html * Drag City Bert Jansch : The Black Swan (UK/US,2006)****° Tr.1, “The Black Swan” 7 min Tr.4, “Katie Cruel” 3 min 10 -83 Splendid singer-songwriter album, and finally one label who gives Bert Jansch the deserved recognition in the new folk milieu. With participations of many people from that new area. I also like very much Beth Orton’s lead voice on some of Jansch songs.

Review : http://psychedelicfolk.homestead.com/guitar8.html#anchor_203 * Guerssen Bob Theil : So far…(UK,1980-1986)****° Tr.D1, “Nothing to say” 6 min (The only track which has been remastered a bit too sharp).
