Across “Vini Reilly,” the album captures the essence of Vini’s distinctive musical language: shimmering guitar textures, luminous melodic shapes, and a sense of space that invites the listener to slow…
Pepper Man
This 2013 debut album by South Korean bassist and composer Kim Sung-Bae is a remarkable masterpiece. Anchored by a two-horn quintet, the music blends Eastern and Middle Eastern modes with spiritual jazz, weaving a soundscape that is deeply emotional, beautiful, and profoundly moving. The overarching narrative carries an epic, cinematic scale that commands repeat listens. From the sublimely beautiful, oriental-tinged piano trio masterpiece ‘Eastern Restaurant’ to the spellbinding Middle Eastern m…
Hodori Rocks: Uncanny New Wave Sound From The 88 Olympic Land
The 1980s for Korea began with “Seúl, Corea,” and the promise of hosting the next Olympic Games brought a sense of hope even amid political instability. That optimism also spread to Korea’s arts and culture, including the gayo pop scene, which was recovering after the 1975 marijuana scandal and the restrictive “gayo purification movement.” A key symbol of renewal was Cho Yong-pil’s single “Short Hair” (단발머리), which felt like a sign that the 1970s were over—and that mood influenced Korean pop mus…

Issue 87 (Magazine)
Audion 87 arrives like a lovingly overstuffed mixtape passed between devotees, its 44 A4 pages packed with rabbit holes for anyone who still hears “progressive” as a verb, not a museum tag. At its core sit two major anchor features. The first is a deep excavation of choice German label classics, taking April and Schneeball as portals into a republic of small imprints, marginal bands and radical self‑organisation. Rather than recycling the usual Krautrock canon, the piece digs into catalogue corn…
Hélas
