SONS OF FIRE "Saung" CD
I know a ton of you hipsters out there bought the new Boredoms album. If you did, then you should also check out Sons of Fire. You'll lose yourself in its experimental freak-out music. Ed Chang, Adam Kriney, and Motoko Shimizu are having so much fun making new sounds that they even incorporate some toy sounds into the mix. *Warning, do not take drugs while listening to this album. You may enough yourself too much. You can also hear these guys playing with Blindfold, Dual, Spin 17, La Otracina, Owl Sounds, and The Beets.

SONS OF FIRE "Saung" CD
Hour long free rock/jazz jam from this great ESP Disk-styled private press label based in NY and run by percussionist Adam Kriney. Sons Of Fire feature Kriney on drums and percussion, Ed Chang (member of Blindfold alongside various NNCK players) on alto saxophone and electric guitar and Motoko Shimizu (collaborator with Sabir Mateen, Daniel Carter, Matt Heyner et al) on vocals, toys, percussion and electric guitar. Mixes the sonic quackery of Mats Gustafsson’s Gush with moments of (Don) Ayler-esque signal calls and the loose lucidity of NNCK satellites like IZITITIZ and Enos Slaughter. Great uniform label feel to Colour Sounds Recordings that’s guaranteed to make you covet the set, with sleeves and inserts printed on textured card and releases limited to 20 copies. In years to come you’ll poke yourself for missing them.

LUST IONICS - "Live Singles In Providence" 3" CD
Live Singles In Providence aka Bloody-Fucking-Gore-Improv-No-Wave-Skronk-Meltdown presents a limited to 49 copies 3” of ecstatic-free-metal blowouts from these liberated-to-the-point-of-psychosis New York heads, featuring drummer Adam Kriney of Owl Sounds et al, Ed Chang on homemade reed instruments, ‘demonized’ alto sax, toolbox percussion and ferocious noise guitar and Motoko Shimzu on post-Patty Waters/Junko styled high/death vocals. 9 short blasts of primitive Hijokaidan/Abe-Takayanagi attack strategies played by punks that don’t know any better. This is as crude as all hell. Packaged in over-sized colour paper wallet.


Review from Crucial Blast, November 2006, by Adam Wright-Carmean
RUST IONICS "Moving/Pictures" 12" LP
Following a stream of craftily packaged CD-R releases from his various other free/psych/improv projects (La Otracina, Owl Sounds Exploding Galaxy, Blizzards, etc), Colour Sounds operator and freak-out drummer extraordinaire Adam Kriney opts to get LOUD with this killer LP from the free-improv/grind/jazz brut ensemble that has Kriney pillaging his drumkit alongside Dual members Ed Chang (alto sax) and Doug Theriault (guitars). Totally blinding power-improv workouts with Chang's extended sax eruptions spitting out a volley of white-hot squeaks and squeals like machine sparks over a din of crashing, blastbeating drumming and textured guitar noise. The trio frequent puts on the brakes and wraps themselves around some mesmerizing free-jazz, but most of Moving/Pictures is intense, insane primal skronk conjured from the same fires that birthed the likes of Last Exit, Painkiller, Ruins, Borbetomagus, and Peter Brotzmann's heavier material, and meant to be played LOUD. Presented on transparent blue vinyl in a clear plastic sleeve with a plastic sticker inscribed with the band logo and minimal album credits, in a limited edition of 311 copies.
