This is a site where I post reviews of CDs, DVDs, LPs, and concerts. I have been writing music reviews on and off since 1984. I ran a heavy metal fanzine from 1984-1988 called Metal Madness and have been a staff writer for Aural Innovations for many years. I have also contributed to Chrohinga Well (RIP), Bad Acid (RIP), Lowcut (RIP), Roadburn and a number of other zines as well. I recently moved to Portugal so please request the new address and do not send any music to Denmark anymore. Tak..

Kombyant Robotron- -270° C (Tonzonen Records TON)
I have grown to really dig this instrumental band from the north of Germany. It is very hard to keep up with their releases though as they sneak out a tape in 50 copies and it is gone in 2hrs before you even hear about it. Pity they don’t press more when there is clearly a demand if it sells out so fast. Anyway, they have 3 tapes, one double CD-R release and 3 vinyl Lps in just the last couple of years. Side A has three tracks and the first one, Compton, comes krauting straight out the gate with a killer groove and some cool guitar and then it comes down and spaces out and fades. Then an abrupt entrance with some funky way work and off we go. A quite short one. The last track Spitzer, has a really cool riff with a strange guitar sound that is played over and over and then bam, the killer hypnotic groove takes over. Side B is one long track called Hubble…. it is a very slow journey and very quiet to start as it slowly builds and builds with some very cool delay guitar and I love the way he shoots off sounds into the cosmos and the track keeps gliding. You might expect a massive heavy riff or explosion but it never comes.. They stay firmly out into space.. Cool album and great band..
