Condon's baritone voice is beautiful, delivered with the kind of world weariness that you don't expect a teenager to feel, let alone convey with such honesty. 'other music gave this review Before I go on, I must also express my total shock and awe at the fact that these songs come from a 19-year-old multi-instrumentalist from Albuquerque named Zach Condon (his age, perhaps, being another reason that I had been so hesitant on giving the CD its initial spin).

All three players are deft at combining emotion with abstract playing, and this set is an exemplary instance of engagingly emotive yet free playing Ambarchi is a master at low end drift, and here the repeating low tones serve almost as a mutant version of a 12 bar anchor. Akiyama and Licht both revel in the spirit of blues guitar, intertwining high melodic lead lines and creating clusters of tense tone. Using guitars, the trio create an alien and minimal free-blues drone. New York experimental music veteran Alan Licht, who has explored similar territory in his beautiful duo with Loren Connors, is joined by Australian sound artist Oren Ambarchi and Japanese improviser Tetuzi Akiyama at the 2004 Bomb the Space festival in Wellington, New Zealand. The high and lonesome sound of something wicked on the horizon is ingrained in this trio's shadowy and disembodied take on the blues. Remove the chugging rhythm of the blues and you are left with the wail that slow motion ghostly gasp of sorrow and bad omen.

This collection includes the entire output all three mega rare 7''s, plus the hard to find LPs The Afflicted Man's Musical Bag, I'm Off Me 'ead, and the aforementioned Get Stoned Ezy. Easily one of the UK's strangest and ignored DIY punk bands. Primitively blending elements of psychedelia and dub over his feral, chainsaw approach, Afflicted Man unleashed a miasma of tripped-out, fuzzy aggro thrashers that would eventually climax into a masterpiece of pedal stomping carnage - the unimpeachable Get Stoned Ezy LP - the likes of which are only now being fully digested. Hiding in plain sight, Hall unleashed a string of 7''s and LPs that evoked a singular and unique take on the punk sneer made fashionable by the Sex Pistols and their minion. ''Too freaked out for punks and too punked out for freaks, Steve Hall stalked the nascent British punk/DIY scene under the guise of Afflicted (later Afflicted Man) throughout the early '80s to the interest of almost no one. Perhaps a bit ''grey-area'' in terms of production (and crudely mastered from original vinyl - as if there was any other way), but who knows what bunker Steve lies in today?
