VINYL FORMAT. Chimeric is not a polished album. Within our context it is raw, broken, and even dark sometimes. Steady, multiple rhythms, layered on top of each other disappear into chaos and turn back into discreet structures in the next moment. References of rock music, executed with the precision of a sequencer; mutated, restructured. A lot on this album is about control and the loss of control. The risk of failure. This was probably always in our music, but kept in a very stable form, sometimes ev   [ read more ]

Radian is at the center of a very fertile and exciting musical scene in Vienna, which critics are citing as one of the most adventurous and important of current movements, akin to the free jazz movement in '70s Chicago, the no-wave movement in '80s NYC, and the garage/jungle movement in '90s London's. With "Juxtaposition," we get a taste of this cutting-edge electronic scene. On the record, Radian recorded instruments (drums, bass, guitar, vibraphone, and marimbaphone) in unusual ways, like micro-recording    [ read more ]

Since forming Radian in Vienna back in 1996, Martin Brandlmayr, John Norman, and Stephan Nemeth have been recording fascinating puzzles -- those sliding-square types broken up over a grid you hear rather than see. The puzzles wouldn't be so fascinating if all the pieces were present, but Radian plays up on the mystery that technology permits. With their first domestic full-length, rec.extern, the trio members (along with visiting Thrill Jockey godfather John McEntire) have welded tog   [ read more ]
