Almost since we started here to write down our thoughts and information on events in the alternative music, there is a monthly part of a small series: The albums of the month. Now that we have for almost 2 years finally got the full 12, it is even time for something special and to look back on this small series. And so we have decided to seek out and each of 3 albums gereviewt the other editor once in his albums of the month. Here is the result ...
Markus:
Umse - Rheinisches Journal
an album what has been definitely selected it a night to law. Despite the obvious allusion to the Deutschrap the 90s and early 00s remains Umse
always independent. With good flow, he also manages to rap about subjects that interest me at all and normally I would not hear of the rape. But he finds himself on the weather good and fresh lines, which presents the very good beats. In particular, the many cuts to convince the field of music, so that at the end the line "Hey folks, this is not a death notice / what would you World ?. The flow and rhyme just not my "sign out of conviction can
The Velvet Underground - White Light / White Heat
Even before the panel has ever heard, one was already with a lot of statements face. classic, milestone, etc. This one will be convinced by such albums is really rare. Thus also in WL / WH. Clearly, the approach and the way in time were innovative and the record sounds still fresh and independently. But one notices also mention that this is also proto-punk, for does not this really mature, sometimes it sucks too. Nevertheless, the album thanks to his uncompromising Attitude and his raw power sound, even though the meaning MMN for the subsequent music greater than the quality was there, from today's perspective. I hear he prefers "Loaded".
The Ruby Suns - Fight Softly
Animal Collective meets Yeasayer in the year 2010 meets Architecture In Helsinci. After this crossing the shimmering pop sound on "Fight Softly" which, while not demanding, but it is wonderfully catchy. Go after the first hearing in the ear and is just fun. Danceable synth sound with a pleasant and this is an entertaining Popspaß, which is actually perfectly suited for evening youth party at the lake. As can be ignored then ever that it is bad cheesy part.

The Dance Inc. - This Fighting
I rocker a few times with the foot with the synths are sometimes simply because of their good and the evil stratification include The Dance Inc. determined not exist but the dance music holds me carried away very rare. "This fighting is simply too harmless, too clean. The voice - the way I do not really like what reaches back to "A Little Sunshine" his high point - sits too much about everything. An exception is "Echoes" with a chorus that somehow with his more aggressive vocal already to convince white or the more subtle "Passengers," which is a bit of the above reminds Ruby Suns album. But in general: neeeee ...
Happy Mondays - Pills'n'Thrills And Bellyaches
has sometimes even from one scene a completely wrong impression. So I would have, who has never been farther apart with Madchester, raves after the mention of the dissolute and the reintroduction of LSD to England by the Happy Mondays, never expected that "Pills'n'Thrills And Bellyaches" so before and pop- rock musical references about bubbles and the electronics Sun resonates with profound melodies that sometimes so obvious to Beatles, Stones and Velvet Underground are ajar. In the end it plays a vital moments in some songs, and nothing is really bad, but despite the audible Talents me with tears not the music - it takes maybe a few Hoerdurchlaeufe.
Peter Bjorn And John - Writer's Block
"Young Folks" is in the overall album almost insignificant, but nevertheless is a good example of how the album looks like: Peter Bjorn and John have found the Shoegaze the means that the squint in the direction Tweepop Folk Rock hinzufuegt a plane that takes the sweet melodies that innocence. Unfortunately, they do not set this means real enough, and the simple formula does not a whole album about. be
