New Favorite Current Band – The Flashbulb

Posted on Friday 19 October 2007

I just found the band The Flashbulb, which is the answer to my posted previous question, is there anything these days that can rival 90’s Squarepusher? This stuff is mindblowing. Really good IDM and well composed music, and best of all, he’s based in Chicago! I had no idea that scene even existed here.

Radiohead’s In Rainbows is pretty good, I thought their pay-what-you-want selling scheme was gimmicky at first but I downloaded it for free and now that I’ve listened to it I like it and I think I’m going to buy it. (If you give them fake info first, then you can try before you buy! It’s optionally free anyway.) 15 Step gets five stars, and props for their IDM and dance influences in this album.

Stanton Moore’s Stanton Moore III album is phenomenal, it’s really chill new orleans funk/jazz with amazing drum solos. I’m trying to learn the solos from Big ‘Uns get the Ball Rolling. The whole album makes a great party mix.

Arturo Sandoval’s Stella by Starlight gets five stars by me, it’s not new but I found it recently and its solos are amazing.

    What do you think of John Scofield or Pat Metheny?
