hia
been very out of touch lately (i used to send out an update now and
then about new motion reviews) ...
most of you have probably heard of motion (http://motion.state51.co.uk/).
however, motion has recently 'evolved' into 'sound noise music',
abbreviated to sonomu - http://sonomu.net/ - the new home and
name(s) for motion (call it nomuso, or somuno, the URLs still work).
motion's content lives on through sonomu as do the well loved
mailings- 'the filter', david cotner's 'actions' and so on, but
there's added information, functions and benefits to members. and in
the near future sonomu will develop into a really useful (as well as
thought-provoking, entertaining and informative) space for those
who're passionate about discovering or promoting new music than
motion was previously able.
if you're an artist or a label this includes the option of upgrading
your membership to put your entire discography online for purchase
through state51's greedbag shop network sorting out your own mailing
lists and creating a presence for yourself within a welcoming
environment where everybody who visits (it's members only) is
curious to find out about and obtain new and interesting sounds.
i won't tire you with more detail right now (it would end up a very
long mail!), but please do check it out - and any questions or
suggestions you have about it please reply to me or mail your enquiry
to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (there are also feedback forms etc on site)
we're putting in place a series of events to herald the new site -
our third event is our monthly night at london's embassy - next one
18th april - why not come down and find out more about us!
cheers

the latest reviews on sonomu include:
NEON GOLDEN The Notwist
Fine rock bands are a rare thing these days, so the Notwist ought to
be cherished... says chris rose
COME GET IT I GOT IT David Holmes
'Come Get It' would be a big bad dark blaxploitation bad trip kind of
film... says chris rose
CRASHING AEROPLANES Ammer, Einheit
Through found dialogue recordings of airline crashes, Ammer and
Einheit examine those rare instances when ordinary life becomes
chillingly unreal says michael woodring
SOURCE TAGS & CODES ...And You Will Know Us By the Trail Of Dead
Although now on a major label, Trail of Dead hasn't compromised the
melancholic ferocity of their past material says michael woodring
OUR NOISE Herrmann & Kleine
Head and shoulders above your average synth pop numbers, lush little
synth melodies flow effortlessly over tonka trunk beats... says
thorsten sideb0ard
NAIMA Vladislav Delay
a fine experimental piece from someone who seems to derive endless
enjoyment by worrying the capacity of his machinery... says stephen
fruitman
