meanwhile here's a flavour...

DEMO OF THE WEEK
I-DEF-I – Whoooooooo, back on line and seriously cooking it up once more, this is what we've been wanting (and needing) from I-Def-I! What took them so long?! We knew they had it in there. Two new tracks from Manchester's finest and this time around they really are making the cutting edge modern metal music that their early days threatened.  Now you may just know how much we championed the band in the early days - demos, tracks on compilations that got their first bits of serious radio play and media attention, that track on Organ Radio 21 that had Radio One straight on the phone... That last album was a little disappointing though – not a bad album, pretty good album by most band's standards, left us with a feeling that they were holding back, a little afraid of really going for it, playing it a little safe and just a little conservative when it really did feel like they had something more in there somewhere. Here it is then! The next step, the step we were waiting for - two slices of front line forward looking modern metal and some complex melodic forward looking front line biting metal – better than anything we've heard in recent times from any of those hyped US bands that labels like Roadrunner keep on feeding us and if the rest of the new material is as good as this then time the big league opened the door and let them in. Yep, sounds like I-Def-I's time is just about here – Seriously colourful adventurous modern crunching metal intelligence and front line big league worldwide class from Manchester – we knew they could do it, we damn well told you they could – www.i-def-i.co.uk or www.myspace.com/idefi (none of this new stuff is on their pages yet though, these new tracks blow away what you'll find up there right now)

DEMO OF THE WEEK 2
DANGER INVITES RESCUE – Danger Invites Rescue – Self titled dour track EP, clever instrumental post/prog rock/metal from (somewhere in) the United States. A healthy Isis, Tool, Russian Circles, Pelican kind of thing – colourful, forceful, refined instrumental rock, bit of a hard edge, nothing violent or noisy though – soothing and progressively melodic enough to keep your average Rush fan more than happy – refined, sublime, the power of quiet and this is rather impressive open shot from a band who are clearly going to be worth keeping an eye on. Clearly a labour of love and they're on their way to creating something rather graceful here, four fine tracks and you can download them all for free right now via a link on their My Space page – take the time, a band well worth checking out, we look forward to more – great track called Blue Mars, fine eight minutes of refined intelligent instrumental post/prog goodness. GO get your own copy via the links you'll find at www.myspace.com/dangerinvitesrescue

(See you bands, simple really, bit of polite communication and we'll get on the case if you're good - catch Danger Invites Rescie on the radio via the Organ hour on Reosnance 104.4fm very soon)

And isn't the web a beautiful thing and here, as we get ready to announce more dates and such, is where you get to explore the very best band of all – the band who keep us doing this Organ thing, the band who provide our fuel our heart and far far more besides – ladies and gentlemen come join the pond and let us share with you some of the unique beauty that is CARDIACS  - www.cardiacs.com/downloads. You can also hear (but not download) their latest releases and some old favourites via www.myspace.com/cardiacs

ORGAN ALBUM OF THE WEEK
JO GABRIEL – Fools And Orphans (Ephemera) - Her previous two mostly instrumental albums (reviewed a couple of weeks back) were delicious appetizers. No, that's wrong, far far far more than just appetizers, that was very rude of us – beautiful instrumental rays of delicate glowing musical sunshine, wonderful things, we expected more of the same, we were looking forward to more of the same. We've been saving this up until the right moment for first listen and that moment that demanded we stop everything and partake in the anticipated delights. We really didn't expect all those delicate shinny lyrical trinkets catching the warm sunlight. We didn't expect a whole album of beautiful songs and words and a voice every bit as beautiful as the rightly anticipated instrumental warmth.  Beautiful delicate songs, strong songs, quietly strong songs, twelve gorgeous piano led pieces of aural delight and honey poured in to a glass, songs and tunes alive with delicious detail. Delicate organic cello and concertina and Siamese cat-yowling and the habits of shadows. Songs that sit in the sun and uncoil with happy lazy cats and distant singing birds and oxygen and dancing light and a spell of delirium. Oh look, this is just too beautifully good to be here trying to write about it with mere words, I really don't want to have to, this is magical, this is special. If you want lazy signposts and shortcuts think Kate Bush or Tori Amos or Colt or things on 4AD or labels like Projekt, mere signposts to point you in a general direction though, that's all. Fools and Orphans is a beautiful album, as fine as the finest Abyssinian – go explore and lose yourself in it, go and treat yourself. She's from New York, she's like that person you find singing in secret in an old dusty theatre when she thinks no one is listening and this is why we do this Organ thing, this sets things of fire and makes me feel... this is a wonderful album -  www.myspace.com/jogabriel or www.jogabriel.com

ALSO CHECK OUT

TIME HAS COME – White Fuzz (Regain) - Scatting scathing grinding jump-on-the-tip-of-a-hot-pin extreme death metal flavoured mathcore twitch 'n yell noise and relentless raging steaming musical violence. Screaming bloody gore and wrecking ball goodness from Hamburg Germany. Only they're not relentless, they have the guts to know that less is sometimes more and quiet reflection can add to the intense power and when they do switch the noise and speed on again they do it with Locust/Meshuggah colour. Serious creative thought and boundary pushing going on here, extreme metal that comes with added imagination and twists that take you down different roads and how ever fast you try to run from them you'll always be running in slow motion. – www.regainrecords.com or www.myspace.com/timehascome

oh and if you're in a band and want to get involved then it isn't difficult, if you think you have something we should be covering or playing on the radio or maybe even considering in terms of ORG Records then go ahead and send it in, do at least bother to read Organ and find out what we're about first though, at least check out what we play on the radio show - if you're too dumb to work it out for yourself then the chances are you're too dumb to do much else other than cry and moan about life and everything else on your My Space page.... have a nice day now..
