New Music Reviews By Mark Hjorthoy

Various Artists – Stalker (Music inspired by Andrej Tarkowskij’s movie)

Eighth Tower Records is responsible for turning me on to movies I had never heard of before. How many music labels can boast that? Their latest delves into a movie called ‘Stalker‘ by Andrej Tarkowskij – a 1979 Russian sci-fi thriller, that has a huge cult following. The tracks included on this release bring the chills and fear associated with the plot brilliantly, and leave you feeling like you’ve just lived through a harrowing experience. Post-apocalyptic brilliance shines hard on this album. A perfect representation of a long-loved creative masterpiece. This is a huge winner from a great label. I’m going in for another listen.

Various Artists – AM 5th Anniversary

Congratulations to Adventurous Music on their 5th anniversary! So how did the label celebrate? With a massive 53 track compilation. If that wasn’t cool enough, each track features an artist from the label collaborating with an artist they consider to be their colleague, and the result is fantastic. What you’d expect from each track is totally different than what you actually get. So fresh and new, this is one of the best compilations I’ve heard from this year; from artists I really admire. Happy 5th Adventurous Music, here’s to many many more!
