The Younger Pliny mentions that Quietus was an intimate friend of the Stoic philosopher Publius Clodius Thrasea Paetus Pliny, Letters, 6.29, a fact Anthony Birley uses to deduce Quietus was born in the early AD 40s.

L. quietus was first described and named by Swedish mycologist Elias Magnus Fries, who named it Agaricus quietus in the first volume of his Systema Mycologicum, published in 1821. In his later Epicrisis Systematis Mycologici, published in 1838, Fries transferred the species to Lactarius. Subsequent attempts to reclassify the species were unsuccessful; in 1871, Paul Kummer described the species as a member of Galorrheus, and in 1891 Otto Kuntze classified it as Lactifluus, but today Fries's placement of the species in Lactarius is accepted.

Quietus __NOTOC__ Year 261 (CCLXI) was a common year starting on Tuesday (link will display the full calendar) of the Julian calendar. At the time, it was known as the Year of the Consulship of Gallienus and Taurus (or, less frequently, year 1014 Ab urbe condita). The denomination 261 for this year has been used since the early medieval period, when the Anno Domini calendar era became the prevalent method in Europe for naming years.

Odaenathus assembled the Palmyrene army and Syrian peasants, then marched north to meet the Persian emperor, who was returning to Persia. The Palmyrene monarch fell upon the retreating Persian army between Samosata and Zeugma, west of the Euphrates, in late summer 260. He defeated the Persians, expelling Shapur I from the province of Syria. In early 261, Fulvius Macrianus headed to Europe accompanied by Macrianus Minor, leaving Quietus and Balista in Emesa.

" In a mixed analysis, Amy Pettifer of The Quietus called it "a Ted-talk of well-worn, motivational encouragement cloaked in a club anthem." Saaed Saaed of The National called the album's "mini slump," while Jonh Murphy of musicOMH noted that the song "falls rather flat." Annie Zaleski of The A.V. Club was confused with the song's message, saying that it "can’t decide if it wants to skewer fame or encourage people to embrace it.

Nigrinus’ family was wealthy, distinguished and well- connected politically in Faventia (modern Faenza, Italy), where he was born and raised. Nigrinus and his family may have been related to Gaius Petronius Pontius Nigrinus, who was consul in the year 37. His family had strong links to Greece.

The band has described the track as "the Stones playing metal", and features guitar riffs influenced by Michael Schenker and Slash of Guns N' Roses. Emily Mackay of British cultural publication The Quietus proclaimed "Slash 'n' Burn" to be "cock-of-the-walk hair metal guitar strutting". SputnikMusic adjudged the song "4 minutes of macho metal led by a joyously electric riff", in which "Bradfield takes perfect command of Wire and Edwards’ words".

The album was noted in Q Magazine, The Quietus and Blank Media Collective, where it received a 5/5 rating, in addition to Prog Magazine, DATES and Musik. The third album, "Modular Living" (July 2013, Rocket Girl) has taken a more organic, electronic approach in places. The album, when performed live with a dual drummer stage setup, has been dubbed "incredible". Some of the adjectives used to describe it include Motorik, progressive, resonating and insistent.

Derrick Harris took on the nickname 'Sleezy D' from his peers in adolescence, and preferred friends to call him by that name until his death. Close friend Marshall Jefferson told The Quietus in 2013: "If you ever met him, you’d never forget him. Oh man, he is… sleazy." After Jesse Saunders released “On and On” in 1984, a Guitar Center salesperson talked Jefferson into buying thousands of dollars worth of production gear.

He was later approached by Robin Carolan to release a full album through his UK/US label Tri Angle, which resulted in Runge gathering tracks mainly created during 2011 to 2012 to form his 2014 debut album That's Harakiri.

This album covered many different genres, but was described variously as experimental grime and bass music.Patrin, Nate (20114-05-01).

Neil Kulkarni of The Quietus wrote: "You got the sense, listening, that Rudy and Alex were too apart, & consequently the recording process too bitty & piecemeal to make a coherent album." In a review of the album for Option magazine, Bill Meyer wrote that the "languidly crooned vocals, gently insinuating grooves, and smooth arrangements make 'New Clear Child' top drawer make-out music" and that the sparse production separates the album from typical "quiet storm fodder".

Garden of Delete is the seventh studio album by American electronic musician Oneohtrix Point Never, released on November 13, 2015, by Warp Records. The album was preceded by an enigmatic Internet-based promotional campaign and draws on sources such as grunge music, top 40 radio tropes, and themes of adolescence and mutation.

A clay tessera bearing a possible depiction of Odaenathus wearing a diadem Odaenathus formed an army of Palmyrenes and Syrian peasants against Shapur. According to the Augustan History, Odaenathus declared himself king prior to the battle. The Palmyrene leader won a decisive victory near the banks of the Euphrates later in 260 forcing the Persians to retreat. In 261 Odaenathus marched against the remaining usurpers in Syria, defeating and killing Quietus and Balista.

In his review of the album, Dean Brown of The Quietus said that the song's chorus was "brilliant", while Jon Dolan of Rolling Stone called the song's chorus a "zombified blues crawl with a rusty-hinge riff". Jonathan Barkan from Bloody Disgusting said that the song begins the album with "a southern grit-infused industrial groove", and said that the drums "elicit an almost militaristic rhythm, giving weight to the almost genocidal lyrics".

"It's not a song about Paul Raven", Coleman said in an interview with Rob Haynes for The Quietus, "it's about Raven's anger and things he felt passionately about. It's a song for Englishmen." "Carpe nocturno" is the last line of the song and also the last thing Raven said to Coleman in Prague when they met for the last time. "Honour the Fire" was intended to be autobiographical and concerns the band's relationship with money.

According to The Quietus, "A bouncy indie-rock rhythm and chicken-scratch guitar propels a buoyant Frank, as he takes to the road in the hope of getting well and truly lost in sunny California. Flowing atop a narcotic bass melody and a trio of harmonising vocalists, the choruses eventually pan back for a coda of whistling synths and ELO-esque keys."Calvert, John (July 3, 2012).

The track was previewed on SoundCloud before the official release. When released via Townsend Records on 31 October 2011, the album was described as "though not overtly auto- biographical, there is a sense of looking back over a life and exploring feelings of loss over opportunities and lovers missed, and possible futures that will remain unlived". Online music site The Quietus placed The Shape of Things at no. 48 in their 100 Albums of the Year for 2012.

In an interview with The Quietus in September 2009, Warren Ellis confirmed that Grinderman 2 was completed.

The song received mostly positive reviews from music critics. Matt James of PopMatters described the song as an "all teasing 'stop-start', Prince percussive crunch and 'Wanna Be Startin' Something' shakin' guitar licks." Brendan Frank of Beats Per Minute called it "an electrifying R&B; wiggle", while Michael Roffman of Consequence of Sound praised "the whimsy of spacey reggae anthem". Marc Burrows of The Quietus named it a "killer single", along with "Falling" and "The Wire".

He left the band shortly after the release of its first album and was asked to join Pigbag in 1980. As noted by The Quietus, after leaving The Pop Group "Simon Underwood ended up having one of post-punk funk’s biggest smash hits with Papa's Got a Brand New Pigbag." In 1983, he married bandmate Angela Jaeger at Hammersmith Registry Office. Lacklustre sales and critical reception of Pigbag's new work caused them to disband in June 1983.

In 1567 Oxford was admitted to Gray's Inn, one of the Inns of Court which Justice Shallow reminisces about in Henry IV, Part 2. Sobran observes that the Sonnets "abound not only in legal terms – more than 200 – but also in elaborate legal conceits." These terms include: allege, auditor, defects, exchequer, forfeit, heirs, impeach, lease, moiety, recompense, render, sureties, and usage. Shakespeare also uses the legal term "quietus" (final settlement) in Sonnet 134, the last Fair Youth sonnet.

Heather Phares, writing for Allmusic, described the band's music as mixing "post-rock, psych-rock, indie, and motorik influences". Critics have compared the band to Mercury Rev, My Bloody Valentine, Syd Barrett, and Can.Foster, Richard (2019) "Reviews: Trupa Trupa Of the Sun", The Quietus, 9 September 2019. Retrieved 30 November 2019 Julian Marszalek, writing for The Guardian, described their music as blending "off-kilter melodies, dense instrumentation and lyrical explorations of the darkest side of the human condition".

One of his most important moves was establishing a regular Friday night featuring authentic African bands at the London venue The 100 Club.Clyde Macfarlane, "Jabula Happiness: Julian Bahula Interviewed", The Quietus, 21 January 2015. He booked a lot of musicians who were also political refugees; his series began to symbolize a movement for change. Players such as Fela Kuti, Miriam Makeba, and Hugh Masekela were among the performers whose early British appearances were organized by Bahula.

John Calvert of The Quietus writes that The-Dream's "stadium-R&B; reinvented the genre as a mythological epic", citing it as an influence on Frank Ocean's 2012 song "Pyramids". Allmusic editor Andy Kellman writes that, with Carlos McKinney and Tricky Stewart, The-Dream "seized possession of [...] the belt for the electronic pop-R&B; division, once held by innovators Leon Sylvers III, Kashif and Morrie Brown, Prince, Jam & Lewis, Teddy Riley, Timbaland and Missy Elliott, and the Neptunes".

Cryptic Shift (formerly stylized as Crÿptic Shift) is an English extreme metal band formed in Leeds, West Yorkshire in 2013. They have two EPs and two demos, with their debut album Visitations from Enceladus being released on 4 May 2020 through Blood Harvest records. In an article for The Quietus, the album was referred to as "damn near essential, and proof that this dismal isle has a valid contribution to make to this new wave of progressive death metal".

162 imperilled Roman positions in Mesopotamia and Armenia, something Trajan sought to deal with by forsaking direct Roman rule in Parthia proper, at least partially. Trajan sent two armies towards Northern Mesopotamia: the first, under Lusius Quietus, recovered Nisibis and Edessa from the rebels, probably having King Abgarus deposed and killed in the process, while a second, under Appius Maximus Santra (probably a governor of Macedonia), was defeated, with Santra being killed.Julián González, ed., Trajano Emperador De Roma, p.

This all leads to the mixtape being unmemorable in an artistic manner. When viewing the information of each track via iTunes, the artist field is not filled in, and the mixtape was released on SoundCloud under the user703918785 moniker, which is similar to spambot usernames. All of these compositional and release aspects of the mixtape, according to The Quietus reviewer Alexander Iadarola, makes it symbolically disposable and something that should not ever be touched.Iadarola, Alexander (July 10, 2014).

The Independent recognised the political aspect of the song and stated that it "could be a partisan anthem from Vietnam or Palestine or any comparable resistance movement." The Quietus referred to the song as "almost shoegazy in tone" with an "overall aquatic feel", also noting its "linking war with [England's] agricultural heritage", and cited the song's overall composition as "a pleasure to see such obvious effort being made in the service of ideas as good as this".

The final version of "Rebel Heart" included in the album was changed drastically from the leaked demo, by incorporating an acoustic sound. It was written by Madonna with Avicii, Arash Pournouri, Salem Al Fakir, Magnus Lidehäll and Vincent Pontare and was produced by all of them, except Pournouri. It is sung in a major key, starting off with bright, upbeat guitar sounds according to Amy Pettifer of The Quietus. The song's instrumentation consists of finger claps and a violin.

This view was shared by Emily Mackay of The Quietus, who felt that the song would have been better for another artist and was below Madonna's level. Jude Rogers from The Guardian wrote that "the filter sweeps used brilliantly throughout "Confessions on a Dancefloor" don’t sparkle here", calling it a "mediocre banger with a terrible title"; nonetheless, she placed the song at number 73 on her ranking of Madonna's singles, in honor of her 60th birthday.

Streisand released "My Father's Song" and its B-side track "By the Way" in Spain retitled "La Canción de Mi Padre" and "Da Paso", respectively. Simon Price, a writer for The Quietus, liked "My Father's Song" and the other Holmes-written tracks on Lazy Afternoon because he felt they demonstrated Streisand's strengths and abilities on the album. Commercially, it entered the Adult Contemporary charts in both the United States and Canada, peaking at numbers 11 and 15, respectively.

In August 2015, James made a number of festival appearances; Gott was unable to play these shows, and was replaced by Oxaal. On 16 November, Girl at the End of the World was announced for release in March 2016. After a premiere on BBC Radio 6, "To My Surprise" was made available for streaming and the album's track listing was revealed. The song's music video, made by Kris Merc, premiered on The Quietus website on 16 December.

As the 25th anniversary was approaching, it was suggested to Hussey that he should reform the original line-up of the band. The singer initially resisted, occupied with other projects."The Quietus feature 2011" Ben Graham, The Mission Celebrate Their Quarter Century: Wayne Hussey Interviewed The Quietus 12 October 2011 Eventually he was convinced and in the summer of 2010 the announcement was made that with Craig Adams and Simon Hinkler on board the Mission had reformed.

In October 2011, they played a warm-up show as their alter-ego 'Blood Brothers' in Hussey's home-town of Bristol before embarking on the XXV UK/European tour that culminated in a sold-out show at the Brixton Academy.

The album is Martin Gore and Gahan's thematic continuation to a dark, gloomy and bluesy aesthetic that Depeche Mode had started to explore in the late 1980s. The Quietus writer Luke Turner viewed it as the band's "most powerful, gothic, twisted, electronic album since Violator". The sound of the album is also notable for its use of modular synthesizers. While "Welcome To My World" was built around a synth loop, other tracks such as "Heaven" were entirely written on the piano.

The four Tiny Tears bonus songs (the title track, "Wound", "Dead Head" and "Suction") are Streetcleaner shortest pieces. Because they were recorded apart from the album, they are compositionally different, more focused on propulsive hard rock riffs and beats than the stark, industrial sterility of Streetcleaner proper. Broadrick employs clean singing rather than growls, and the tone of the songs has been called "ethereal". Noel Gardner of The Quietus described the EP as a "muscular, enveloping follow-up, and utterly worth hearing".

Roadburn 2018 Rob Haynes of The Quietus described Green's bass sound as "like the noise a glacier might make as it remorselessly ground a mountain to dust." Green's basslines were essential in Godflesh's music and "freed up Broadrick to conjur the atmosphere with his droning guitar sound." Green also adapted his style to Godflesh's various influences, including electronic music, dub, breakbeat and hip hop. Green describes his sound as "heavy, downtuned and driving" and tunes his bass to B standard.

In a slightly more negative review, Julian Marszalek of The Quietus criticized the latter half of the album, writing that "the album goes through a variety of fits and starts before descending into anticlimax. 'Skinhead #2' and 'Blues at the Acropolis' are inconclusive filler, which on an album that lasts a little over 30 minutes, just isn’t good enough." Mojo ranked the album number 10 on their list of "Top 75 Albums of 2018" in their end-of-the-year November 2018 issue.

Peasant received some acclaim from music critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album received an average score of 82 based on eleven reviews, indicating "universal acclaim". The Quietus listed it in first position on their list of the best albums of 2017, and it placed second in The Wire magazine's annual critics' poll. Exclaim! listed it at number 8 on their Top 10 Folk and Country Albums of 2017 list.

Cobbett subsequently recruited guitarist/vocalist Leila Abdul-Rauf and lead vocalist Joe Hutton. In March 2010, Hammers of Misfortune announced that they had signed a record deal with Metal Blade Records. Since then, Metal Blade has re- released The Bastard, The August Engine, The Locust Years, and Fields/Church of Broken Glass. In October 2011, the band produced their fifth studio album, 17th Street, which was well-received by critics, with positive reviews from Pitchfork, AllMusic, The Quietus, and PopMatters.

Sal Cinquemani, writing for Slant Magazine described it as a "post-disco slink". The Quietus writer Mof Gimmers wrote, "The cocaine soul bears down again, with the excellent 'Blow' which grooves along like Kelis on a Friday night, before gnashing its teeth into the gonzo pop of Cameo or Parliament." The Guardians Michael Cragg described it as a "delicious throwback funk" song. Mikael Wood of Los Angeles Times felt that the "sumptuous" song allowed Beyoncé "to flex her impressive stylistic chops".

"Wash All Over Me" was received positively by music critics. Amy Pettifer of The Quietus praised the track for "ha[ving] all the melancholy pleasure of 'The Power of Good-Bye'"; she later stated that "it's older, wiser and more accepting of endings". Sal Cinquemani, writing for Slant Magazine, noted that the song "return[s] to the lush, spiritual introspection of Ray of Light," further called it "exquisite". Likewise, Neil McCormick of The Daily Telegraph agreed, stating it "recall[s] [...] rich depths".

Valerian's defeat at Edessa became the catalyst for a series of revolts that would lead to the temporary fragmentation of the Roman Empire. In the East, Macrianus used his control of Valerian's treasury to proclaim his sons Macrianus Minor and Quietus as Emperors. Along the Danubian frontier, Ingenuus and Regalianus were also proclaimed Emperors. In the West, the Roman governor Postumus took advantage of Gallienus' distraction to murder the Imperial heir Saloninus and take control of what is now called the Gallic Empire.

Public and government accountants must therefore have performance liability insurance. Often, however, the Ministry of Finance alleviates a defaulter by granting an abatement of his arrears as the full amount is likely too much to ever pay out of pocket. If an account is audited and found not to be in default, then the Court issues a quietus (arrêt de quitus or arrêt de décharge) acquitting and discharging the official and settling the account.Véronique Le Marchand and Frédéric Touboul, eds.

It was released on 7 December 2009 in the UK, where it peaked at number six on the singles chart and was also certified Silver for sales of over 200,000 copies. The song managed to peak inside the top 20 and top 30 on many European charts and in Australia. PopMatters Jennifer Cooke felt that "You Know Me" had "a Motown flavor reminiscent of Escapology's 'Something Beautiful'." Jude Rogers from The Quietus said that the song is "Nonsensical and brilliant".

The album was hailed a "masterpiece" (The Sunday Times), with Hukkelberg's brazen confidence and steadfast individuality reaching "airtight, impeccable" standards (The Quietus). The corresponding album tour – yet another trans- Atlantic affair, including repeat-dates with Wilco – was followed by an extended live hiatus. In 2014 Hukkelberg temporarily returned to the studio to pursue a series of commissioned works – including a guest collab with Todd Terje and Bryan Ferry on Johnny and Mary. Hukkelberg's fifth studio album – Trust – was released by Propeller Recordings 20 October 2017.

WIXIW (pronounced "wish you") is the sixth studio album by experimental rock trio Liars, released on June 4, 2012. It was written in Los Angeles and in a remote cabin in the mountains around the city. Recording took place in Liars’ private studio below U.S. Highway 101 in Los Angeles under the guidance of the band's label boss, Daniel Miller. Writing for The Quietus, Luke Turner described WIXIW as the band's "most accessible album to date" as well as their most electronic record ever.

Dan Barrow from The Quietus wrote that the song "enters the realms of unguilty pleasure mostly through its chorus, where the vocal drops registers of excitement to an almost-whisper, just as the arpeggios hit their peaks of Euro-trance intensity, the memory of house piano – the signifier of anticipation and release – leaking through the chorus. The high, almost toxic sheen of its opening fanfare of notes, a gateway drug to more louche pleasures." Charles Aaron from Spin called the song a "synthy magic carpet".

Writing for Melody Maker, Sharon O'Connell also noted the song's grinding, deliberate repetition in a favourable light. The Quietus' Noel Gardner wrote that the various machine, guitar and bass elements of "Mothra" seem incongruous from a distance, but in practice they work well. In their book The Trouser Press Guide to '90s Rock, Ira A. Robbins and David Sprague characterise "Mothra" as having a memorable and definite groove. "Mothra" derives its title from Ishirō Honda's 1961 film Mothra, which features the fictional giant monster Mothra.

The Guardian has noted some of Monáe's influences as: Michael Jackson, Janet Jackson, Prince, Outkast, Erykah Badu, James Brown, Grace Jones, Stevie Wonder, David Bowie, Jimi Hendrix, Bernard Herrmann, Funkadelic and the Incredible String Band. Matthew Valnes likens Monáe's dancing style in the music video for "Tightrope" to that of James Brown. In an opinion piece for The Quietus, John Calvert places Janelle Monáe within the Afrofuturism movement, pointing out her similarities to Sun Ra and George Clinton. He asserts that Janelle Monáe is innovating the genre.

You know, funky stuff like that." According to Stephen Dalton of The Quietus, parts of the album are reminiscent of krautrock and "the whole post-punk disco boom", and described most of the album as "an alluringly weird mash-up of trip-hop, Krautrock and synth-pop." McCartney said that, "rather than me emulating anyone, it was more a question of me seeing what I could do with it. And again, not necessarily thinking I was making an album, just to have some time to experiment.

Furthermore, an ancient Statute (51 Henry III, c.5) required that accounts should be cleared in order. This meant that work on auditing a later officer's account could not even begin until that of his predecessor had received its acquittance (Quietus). The result was that Henry Fox (Lord Holland from 1763), who had been Paymaster-General of Forces between 1757 and 1765 did not have his accounts audited until 1778, 23 years later, during which time he was estimated to have received £250,000 in interest.

That Fucking Tank are also known for their unusual equipment, set-up and style, among them the use of the Baritone guitar. In 2012, Clash described their second album as a pounding and relentless mixture of punk, metal and acid house. A year later, Drowned in Sound described them as "... Britain’s answer to US noise rock duos like Hella and Lightning Bolt". Although they act through anti-commercial channels, their records have been reviewed by national music press, such as the NME, The Skinny, and The Quietus.

Geddy Lee of Rush included this album among his favourites in a list from an interview with The Quietus. The album was ranked #36 on Rolling Stone's 2013 list of the 40 Greatest Stoner Albums, and 88th on The Guardian's 100 Best Albums of the 21st Century list, based on a 2019 poll of music writers. The album had sold over 100,000 copies in the United Kingdom by the end of 2008, making it the first gold certificate record released by label Bella Union.

Critics were polarized by the album's song structure and lyrical composition. The Line of Best Fit praised The World We Left Behind, stating "[Nachtmystium] have returned to their best style — tempered, refined heavy rock that uses the finest extracts of black metal to supplement an already engrossing sound. Pitchfork Media cited flaws such as "the absence of transition and sequence, the lack of focus and coherence, the presence of awful lyrics and middling riffs.". The Quietus summed up the album stating, "it is predominately dull and uninspired.

" John Calvert of The Quietus described "Thinkin Bout You" as a "slow-release torch song the colour of caramel and bathed in low voltage lighting, a buzzing but soothing synth cycle and muffled beats evoke touching and kissing in a velveteen womb. Poised, considered, classy and moving, this is uniquely Frank Ocean." Greg Kot of the Chicago Tribune stated that the track "couldn’t be any less auspicious as an opening song, little more than a delicate, yearning falsetto vocal over vaporous keyboards and a muffled rhythm track.

The title track finishes the deluxe version and was changed completely from its leaked demo. It consists of acoustic guitar and violins, with autobiographical lyrics. Amy Pettifer of The Quietus noted, "'Rebel Heart' quietly [acknowledges Madonna's] part in building the scene and popularizing stylistics that are the foundation of current trends." The super deluxe version presents tracks like "Graffiti Heart", where Madonna drew inspiration from her pre-fame friends like artists Jean-Michel Basquiat and Keith Haring evoking the power of art in gaining freedom.

John Freeman of The Quietus described "Stripped" as an "ominous and intriguing pop song" that is lyrically akin to other songs written by Martin Gore featuring sensual lyrics about the human body. Parts of the song's instrumental are built off of samples. The beginning of the song samples the sound of the ignition of lead singer Dave Gahan's Porsche automobile, while the underlying beat is the sound of an idling motorcycle engine distorted and slowed down. The ending also incorporates the sound of fireworks.

She was a presenter on Resonance FM, and in autumn 2019 became a co-host of BBC Radio 3 programme Late Junction, alternating with Verity Sharp.

Speaking to The Quietus in 2013, Moyet revealed she recorded "Love Letters" as she knew it would be a hit: "Love Letters" and "Weak in the Presence of Beauty" – neither song I enjoy now – they're both my fault. I found them. That was when I was feeling smart, thinking that I knew what a hit was." She also told the BBC in 2004: "After my versions of "Love Letters" and "That Ole Devil Called Love" did well, there was definite pressure for me to become some sort of jazz diva.

James Ubaghs of The Quietus wrote that Ride's "paranoid, politically-charged ravings might not present any sort of solution to the world's myriad ills, but he is at the least paying close attention to how fucked things really are, and that's more than you can say for a lot of his contemporaries". In a Pitchfork interview, Ride stated that although he has favorite musicians such as Jimi Hendrix, he takes more inspiration from his internal struggles than human achievements. He has a side career as a visual artist. His art consists of dark, monochromatic portraits.

Ride's lyrics are described as "chants and rants, rhythmic elements that are barely intelligible—though full of bleak, deranged, or drugged-out thoughts". Ride's lyrics engage with various topics, including sex, drugs, addiction, economic collapse, insanity, suicide, occultism, paranoia, and techno-futurism. John Calvert of The Quietus wrote, "Death Grips embroils MC Ride's consciousness in a schematised Braque-esque maze, a gloaming constellation, a synaptic thing." Chase Woodruff of Slant Magazine argued that Ride's lyrics "hint at a contemporary, vaguely political edge to all his rage and alienation".

A review in Mojo magazine called Plumb a "delicious tasting menu of rock history", praising the suite-like structure and calling it "easier to digest, more delicately seasoned, and with better portion control than 2010's blow-out Measure". Aaron Lavery of Drowned in Sound called it Field Music's most accessible album thus far and "some of the most thoughtful, intelligent pop in the country". Michael Dix of The Quietus called it "perhaps the finest distillation to date of the various elements that comprise the group's distinctive sound". A review in Sputnikmusic.

The Quietus cited Addison Groove as being "instrumental in drawing Chicago juke and footwork within reach of UK dancefloors". This progression away from dubstep allowed him to gain interest from mainstream media platforms such as BBC Radio 1, Dazed and Vice Magazine and The Red Bull Music Academy. Addison Groove has collaborated with Vector Meldrew (aka Alex Donne Johnson) on a range of audio visual projects, including a live show and music videos. In 2012 Addison Groove developed a live 808 show which toured nightclubs such as, Boiler Room, Fabric, London and Berlin's infamous Berghain.

Second full-length album Stunning Luxury was released on The Leaf Label on 1 March 2019. Described as a "10-song Gang of Four style takedown of modern capitalism" and "a stridently political album that loses neither its sense of humour nor its capacity for bangers", the album's themes and settings are based in the city and suburbs rather than the forests of 2017's Come Play The Trees. The album's lyrics attacks gentrification and other aspects of modern city life. The Quietus placed the album at #16 in their Albums Of The Year 2019.

The Quietus primarily features writings on music and film, as well as interviews with a wide range of notable artists and musicians. The magazine also occasionally includes pieces on literature, graphic novels, architecture, and TV series. The website is edited by John Doran, who claims that it caters for "the intelligent music fan between the age of 21 and, well, 73". Its staff list includes former writers for publications such as Melody Maker, Select, NME and Q, including journalist David Stubbs, BBC Radio 1 DJ Steve Lamacq, Professor Simon Frith and Simon Price among others.

Between 1993 and 1994, the record label released the duo's nine 12-inch vinyl singles, which featured minimal information and cryptic lettering, leaving the nature of the project obscure. The Quietus credited these releases with "spawning a legion of imitators and earning the duo legend status among those in the know." Basic Channel has since released two compilation CDs which collect edits of their 12-inch releases: BCD (1995) and BCD-2 (2008). Moritz von Oswald and Mark Ernestus have founded numerous record labels such as Chain Reaction, Main Street Records, and Rhythm & Sound.

" David Quantick of Q reflected that the album was "very much malt XTC, a fine blend of all their various styles matured to an extraordinary refinement. So no hits then, but 17 excellent songs." Writing in 2014, Nick Reed of The Quietus wrote that Nonsuch is "refreshingly more restrained than Oranges & Lemons was, and holds up a lot better today." He elaborated: "Listening to it today, it feels like XTC realizing that it may be their last chance, and therefore putting everything they've got into making something timeless.

5 the account in the Augustan History adds two more men to those Hadrian ordered executed, Lusius Quietus and Gaius Avidius Nigrinus.Vita Hadrianus, 7.2 Although the Augustan History states that the four men had been united in a conspiracy against Hadrian, John D. Grainger suggests the men may have been executed because they were inconvenient.Grainger, Nerva and the Roman Succession Crisis of AD 96-99 (London: Routledge, 2004), pp. 127f Despite the evident importance of Celsus in Trajan's court, little more than these facts are known about him.

Former professional footballer Paul McGregor (Honey), his brother Benn (MCG), and guitarist Paul Simmons (Simmons) began as a three piece band in late 2006. Shortly after in 2007, Karl Januskevicius, of Motorcycle Boy, joined Ulterior full time on synthesizer. After some performances in London and their debut single "Weapons", Ulterior were asked to support The Horrors at the Shockwaves NME Awards 2008 at The London Astoria. In 2008 the band was mentioned by The Quietus as "consistently playing some of the most intense gigs in the past couple of years".

Abulfaraj, in Münter, "Der Jüdische Krieg," p. 18, Altona and Leipsic, 1821 Marcius Turbo pursued him and sentenced to death the brothers Julian and Pappus, who had been key leaders in the rebellion. Lusius Quietus, the conqueror of the Jews of Mesopotamia, was now in command of the Roman army in Judea, and laid siege to Lydda, where the rebel Jews had gathered under the leadership of Julian and Pappus. The distress became so great that the patriarch Rabban Gamaliel II, who was shut up there and died soon afterwards, permitted fasting even on Ḥanukkah.

John Fordham from The Guardian observes a transition in Davis's playing from a "whispering electric sound to some of the most trenchantly responsive straight-horn improvising he ever put on disc". According to Fordham: Jack Johnson and Davis' other electric-period albums influenced rock musician Iggy Pop's early music with the Stooges. Around 1985, he purchased copies of Davis' Sketches of Spain (1960) and Jack Johnson in a no frills used record shop for less than $5. "They have been my inspiring companions ever since", he told The Quietus in 2010.

The spaceship is also customizable, with different missiles (the most powerful being Phelonese Quietus missiles), loaders (Seeker Missile Loader for example), shield generators (may be an Ursor Mighty Fence Booster), engines (an ancient Warp Drive for instance) and scanners (Argus Crystal Scanner of the Chanticleer) and jamming devices (Tangle jammer). To give the player a chance to employ this equipment, the developers provided an entire galaxy with several hundred planets to explore. The gameplay itself is primarily centered around exploration and information gathering. This is primarily done through character interaction and asking questions.

The project had a three- week deadline. The resulting stop-motion puppet video premiered on The Quietus, which praised Vácz's "excellent, darkly uplifting handiwork", and garnered a Best Animation nomination for the 2015 Berlin Music Video Awards. In 2016, Péter Vácz collaborated with Joseph Wallace on another James music video, for the track "Dear John". Vácz and Wallace had met as students on the "Animation Sans Frontières" animation course and have collaborated on a number of projects over the years, as well as teaching stop-motion animation together.

Reception for Breadcrumb Trail has been positive. James S. Rich liked the film, calling it "an exciting examination of the more ephemeral aspects of artistic creation." Dan Nixon of The Quietus stated "while it's subject matter isn’t going to appeal outside of some pretty narrow boundaries, that’s a shame, as the story is refreshing in the way it demystifies the process of creating music." In a review for tinymixtapes, Paul Bower called it "an extremely well put-together documentary" and "without a doubt the best film he’s ever made" (in reference to director Lance Bangs).

This is partly due to the unique use of technology in the creation of all of the albums associated with Eno. Other commentators have emphasized the differences between the two projects. For instance, The Age Bernard Zuel considers these expectations built by the earlier work to be "unfair... and inaccurate." The Observer review by Kitty Empire labels this album "conservative" and John Doran of The Quietus calls it "less exciting"—Erie Times-News reviewer Dr. Rock goes as far as to call it an "antithesis" to Bush of Ghosts.

Finally, you get hooked, and you start looking forward to that silly little catch in her voice." Author J. Randy Taraborrelli in his biography on Madonna commented that the song was a rhythmic call to party. Author Santiago Fouz-Hernández in his book Madonna's Drowned Worlds, complimented the chorus of the song, saying that "Everybody" and "Music" are the two Madonna singles which define her artistic credo – that music has the power to overcome divisions of race, gender, and sexuality. Matthew Lindsay of The Quietus praised the song, calling it "spectacular" and "hard to resist.

The House of Lords followed suit the next day. The Bill received the Royal assent on 18 July 1947. From this day the suzerainty of the British Crown over the Indian princely states lapsed as per 7(b) of the India Independence Act 1947, and with it all treaties between the British Crown and the Indian states also had a legal quietus. The Rulers of the Indian States became sovereign rulers from 18 July 1947, and in principle they were free to accede to either of the two dominions or to remain independent.

Lindsay Zoladz of New York Daily News wrote that the song is "just goofy enough to work". Amy Pettifer of The Quietus said the song is "scuzzy and repetitive with a danceable hook—but her voice is at its thinnest and the dynamics a little lacking. Despite all this, it does contain the great lyric, 'It's time to dance and turn this dark into something', which could be the album's epigram." Lee DeVito of Metro Times called it "a bit repetitive" but said it is probably his favorite track on the album.

Stepan Razin on the Volga (by Boris Kustodiev, (1918) State Russian Museum in St Petersburg.) Even at the beginning of 1671 the outcome of the struggle was doubtful. Eight battles had been fought before the insurrection showed signs of weakening, and it continued for six months after Razin had received his quietus. At Simbirsk his prestige had been shattered. Even his own settlements at Saratov and Samara refused to open their gates to him, and the Don Cossacks, hearing that the patriarch of Moscow had anathematized Razin, also declared against him.

" He commented that "D. I. Go Pop is an album of contradictions: Prescient, uneasy ballads like 'Even the Sea Sides Against Us' and 'A Whole Wide World Ahead' recoil from the potential cruelty of human nature but are tethered by an aching off-kilter beauty." Critics have described D. I. Go Pop as a post-rock and experimental rock album. Ned Raggett of The Quietus said the album was an album of "urban sound with seaside and seasonal reveries that aren't quite that, a burst of activity that could also be a last gasp.

In 1995 Noah Landis, a childhood friend of Dave Edwardson, replaced Simon McIlroy as keyboardist. With The Word as Law, Neurosis began to transition from the hardcore punk of Pain of Mind to the more experimental sound of Souls at Zero, which would ultimately form the basis for post-metal and atmospheric sludge metal. Neurosis' signature sound came into full force with Enemy of the Sun, with The Quietus observing that "at the time few could have predicted this black hole of agonizingly precise metal riffs, unnerving backmasking, industrial folkisms and extensive sampling".

The band's sampler player, Cesare Pizzi, in 2019 On The Young Gods, the band used the sampler as a compositional tool: the tracks are constructed from classical and rock/metal guitar samples. On the band's arrangements, David Stubbs of The Quietus wrote: "They used artifice and synthesis, mechanically retrieving the sounds of the dead rock (and classical) past, but forging them in such a way as to create something bold, grandiose and absolutely new under the sun." Treichler's vocals were described as "leering" and "guttural." The tracks often deviate from the standard verse–chorus form.

The Quietus. Retrieved February 18, 2017. Dean wrote that there were many ways Ferraro made Inhale C-4 $$$$$ more than just a spoof of modern hip hop; the title of the songs, which includes references to Macau and ringtones in Saharan cell phones, give the mixtape a "global" aesthetic that represents "the dense, teeming atmospheres of ultramodern, geographically hybrid urban spaces." Dean also analyzed that Ferraro suggests, but most listeners don't, that there will be music movements of other genres that will contain the "low" standards of hip hop.

Nikolai Komyagin, Alexander Ionin, and Pavel Lesnikov met in their hometown, Novokuznetsk, and formed Shortparis in 2012 upon moving to Saint Petersburg. They were later joined by St. Petersburg natives Danila Kholodkov and Alexander Galyanov. The band performs songs in Russian, French, and English. According to John Doran of The Quietus, Shortparis is following in Sergey Kuryokhin's legacy of provocative performance art; Doran describes the group as "Ambitious, bombastic, incredibly pretentious, erotic, thrilling, impossible to pin down, vaguely deviant, fun to dance to and full of revolutionary potential".

Stunning Luxury is the second studio album by English band Snapped Ankles. It was released on 1 March 2019 under The Leaf Label. Described as a "10-song Gang of Four style takedown of modern capitalism" and "a stridently political album that loses neither its sense of humour nor its capacity for bangers", the album's themes and settings are based in the city and suburbs rather than the forests of 2017's Come Play The Trees. The Quietus placed the album at #16 in their Albums Of The Year 2019.

Payola was well received by critics. DIY magazine called it a "staggeringly good collection of songs" and ruminated that the album "offers a compelling argument of the threesome as the most important and greatest UK band of the past 10 years" in a 9/10 review. In their 8/10 review, Virgin notes that "This release shows what a huge footprint The Cribs have made on the modern music scene." Q magazine referred to the album as "A reminder of their heartfelt commitment to a struggling underground ideal" in a 4 star review, whilst The Quietus called The Cribs "A national treasure".

The review at Louder Than War calls the album "more magic from a national treasure" commenting that "you never lose the knack of writing a good tune, and it's something that has never left Marc". The limited edition EP Tasmanian Tiger was reviewed separately by The Quietus who feel it is "another reason to treasure one of the music world's most inspired and restless mavericks". Thom Jurek at AllMusic calls The Dancing Marquis album "a glorious tease" and states that "there is a bit of everything here", from ballads, glam waltzes, pulsing synths, and modern pop.

The series' music was composed by the Scottish post-rock band Mogwai. The band's guitarist John Cummings said in an interview with The Quietus, "They wanted us to start writing it before they started filming it. They described it as inspiring them, they wanted some kind of musical mood in place before they started, so we were working a bit dry at first ... we'd (only) seen the first couple of scripts in English". The band released a four-track sampler of the music (Les Revenants EP) on 17 December 2012, the day of the showing of the final episode.

Critic Philip Whitehouse described it as "expansive, intriguing and engrossing material from the cream of the doom metal crop." Derrick Koo of The Quietus remarked how "Shrinebuilder doesn't try to explore new territory, but it captures its players doing what they do best", but wondered if it is "possible for a supergroup like this one to truly step out of its predecessors' long shadows." Classic Rock reviewer described the album as "the work of kindred spirits, (...) which allows each member's voice to shine through", and indicated the song "Blind for All to See" as the best track.

Album of the Year assessed the critical consensus as 86 out of 100, based on 39 reviews. Mojo reviewer Andy Cowan called it "a beguiling, meandering sprawl that rewards total immersion", while Tara Joshi deemed Blonde a "fully conceptualised, curated personal vision" and "a sublime and largely impressive album" in her review for The Quietus. In Rolling Stone, Jonah Weiner described the album as "by turns oblique, smolderingly direct, forlorn, funny, dissonant and gorgeous: marvel of digital-age psychedelic pop." Writing for The Guardian, Tim Jonze hailed Blonde as "one of the most intriguing and contrary records ever made".

Much better still, they all delivered on quality.” In 2016, the label released the album Fading Lines by Dutch singer Amber Arcades. Since then, Heavenly releases include: Baxter Dury’s Prince Of Tears, described by The Quietus as “beautiful, heart-rending, sexy, repulsive”; Gwenno’s second album Le Kov, sung entirely in Cornish, which made the Album Of The Year lists in The Guardian, Mojo and Rough Trade; the debut album from David Wrench’s new band audiobooks; Stealing Sheep’s “bold, voltaic” third album, Big Wows; and Pip Blom’s debut Boat. In 2019 Heavenly signed Working Men’s Club, Katy J Pearson and Raf Rundell.

In 2007, Barrett set up Caught By The River with Robin Turner and Andrew Walsh. CBTR commissions writers with a focus on the natural world and our relationships with it, and is currently run by Diva Harris. It has supported several new authors in the early stages of their careers, including Amy Liptrot and Luke Turner of The Quietus, who both wrote regular columns for Caught By The River that later became critically acclaimed books. CBTR also releases music on the Rivertones label and hosts stages at UK festivals including Port Eliot and Cerys Matthews' The Good Life Experience.

When the album was reissued, The Quietus praised it saying: "[It was] their most experimental work, Smith's presence is keenly felt on the disciplined execution of the grandiose 'Dazzle' or the starkly seductive 'Swimming Horses'. But the real treasures were buried deep within the album. The lysergic Spaghetti Western twang of 'Bring Me The Head of the Preacher Man' is evocative in its execution while the densely epic 'Blow The House Down' finds Smith indelibly stamping his mark on the track courtesy of some his finest guitar work". Hyæna was namechecked by Brett Anderson, the singer of Suede.

"Very shortly after [1715] Colonel Waldron and his friends succeeded in giving the Lieutenant-Governor Usher his quietus, but in the moment of victory the colonel was dismissed from the Council for being 'very much concern'd' in stealing the king's mast timber. He retained his place as judge of common pleas, Secretary of the Province, and clerk of the Council, however, finding means to shift the duties and salary of the last to [his son] Richard, until on 11 January 1716/17, he had him officially sworn into that office." He died on 3 November 1730 in Dover.

In a review of Legend in The Wire, Philip Clark wrote that the fanfare in "Teenbeat Introduction" "arrive[s] like a bucket of icy water". He said "Teenbeat" follows with "pointillistic splashes of sound" that become "a harmonically secure chorale", reaching a crescendo before "dissolv[ing] into a collage of rapidly looming jump-cuts". Sean Kitching referred to "Teenbeat" in The Quietus, as "uplifting and epic". Bradley Smith wrote in The Billboard Guide to Progressive Rock that "Teenbeat", with its "ominous" drums and chorale that open the piece, and "Teenbeat Reprise", with its "raging" guitar solo, are some of the highlights of Legend.

"Hold Tight" is a "reflective and sombre" midtempo pop and electro ballad, having atmospheric keyboards, military drums and flourishes of pastel electronics as its main instrumentation. Its "tribal" chorus "gallops euphorically over twinkling arpeggio, picked out by a Juno whistle", which according to The Quietus Amy Pettifer, is "reminiscent of Kate Bush's "Running Up That Hill"". John Marrs of Gay Times noted the song's synths remind of Confessions on a Dance Floor's "Forbidden Love" and the "euphoric instrumentals" of British electronica band Faithless. Lyrically, the song talks about holding on and being strong, with Madonna singing about being "scarred and bruised".

" MusicOMHs Sam Shepherd stated that the album "will perhaps be a surprise for those who came to Sundfør via her last album, but they won't be disappointed. This is an album full of hidden depths, stark emotion, and most importantly, absolutely beautiful songs." The Quietus Gary Kaill praised the album, saying Sundfør "turns experience into art with a painter's eye and a warrior's heart, and Music for People in Trouble is a profoundly humanist work: her finest by some distance." Jennifer Gannon of the Irish Times said the album "is a sweeping, seductive cinematic slice of sorrow.

Justin Ravitz from Refinery29 called the track "a defiant, joyful cry for rebellion with a rousing call-and-response structure". Nicholas Hautman of Us Weekly stated the song was "literally a banger", while C. M. from The Economist called it "hypnotic". C.M.'s opinion was shared by The Quietus CJ Thorpe-Tracey. For musicOMHs Nick Smith, the song "could almost have been lifted from a Nelly Furtado album", while for Craig Jenkins from New York magazine, "Batuka" is "the kind of drum-driven call-and- response number M.I.A. and Diplo sold to the international community on Piracy Funds Terrorism 15 years ago".

According to AllMusic and The Daily Telegraph, the album consists of three main sounds: Latin music, trap music, and art pop. According to Rich Juzwiak of Pitchfork, the album has a very diverse sound. He stated that it combines genres "as disparate as Portuguese fado, baile funk, Cape Verdean batuque, and good old American trap to make a literal, at times clinical, rendering of world music." CJ Thorpe-Tracey of The Quietus deemed the record a "swirling fusion of trap, fado, dub, and disco", while Craig Mathieson of The Sydney Morning Herald classified it under the electronic pop genre.

David Pollock of The List wrote, "With Weatherall himself singing as if from the heart of a smoke-filled room (and perhaps he was), the album explores dancehall, ambient dub, electro and post-punk in building an atmospheric soundtrack for the city at night." Iain Moffat of The Quietus called it "the most song-based work of his career." Meanwhile, Louise Brailey of Fact commented that "A Pox on the Pioneers is an idiosyncratic and surprising debut at best – I expected something more." Clash placed it at number 9 on the "Top 40 Albums of 2009" list.

" The Quietus wrote that the band "never sounded quite this good". Jorge Salas, writing for Spanish magazine Muzikalia, praised the album as The Drone's best in years, and called "Why Write a Letter You'll Never Send" the band's "most beautiful composition" to date. Italian website OndaRock noted the band's consistency with the release of the album, and praised its more textured & dynamic music. In a year-end round-up, Darren Levin of The Guardian wrote that the band, alongside "Aussie rock stalwarts" such as Adalita and Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, "put out great records in 2013.

The band was formed when the members were in their early teens and initially worked with local label Denizen Recordings. In 2014, they appeared on the BBC Introducing stage at Glastonbury. They put out several singles before their debut album Urth was released in 2015 on Earache Records, best known for extreme metal bands such as Napalm Death and Bolt Thrower. The album was well-received by the alternative music press, being described by The Quietus as "an exciting debut album that thrills from beginning to end" and by Louder Than War as "a gorgeous, big bastard brick- shit-house of a record".

Epica also joined Kamelot as a support band on parts of their tour for promotion of The Black Halo album, to which Simons had contributed her vocals on the track "The Haunting (Somewhere in Time)". Two singles were released from the album, "Solitary Ground" and "Quietus". Epica's non-metal album The Score – An Epic Journey was released in September 2005 and is the soundtrack for a Dutch movie called Joyride, though it could also be considered to be their third album. Mark Jansen describes the album as typical Epica, "only without the singing, without the guitars, no bass and no drums".

Philip Kane Philip Kane is a London soul and art-rock singer who has released three albums. Cathal Coughlan produced his earlier work as Avalanche and Mark Eitzel contributed backing vocals to Flowers & Ledges, which was listed as one of the tracks of 2016 by The Quietus. One of his songs was aired on RTL in France and he received a favorable review from a Norwegian web site and also Norwegian national newspaper Dagbladet and Uncutmagazine. In December 2016 he played the Elgar Room at the Royal Albert Hall as part of their Late Night Jazz season.

Allen responded that ethnicity was not a factor in hiring the dancers, and the video was a light-hearted satirical look at objectification of women in modern pop music.Culturally Clueless: Race, Feminism & Lily Allen's Hard Out Here Video The Quietus 15 November 2013 "Air Balloon" premiered on BBC Radio 1 on 13 January 2014, and was released on 20 January 2014 as the second single from the album. The song reached number seven on the UK Singles Chart. "Our Time" was released as the album's third single on 10 March 2014, peaking at number 43 on the UK Singles Chart.

This goddess became the personification of money, and her name was applied both to money and to its place of manufacture. Roman mints were spread widely across the Empire, and were sometimes used for propaganda purposes. The populace often learned of a new Roman Emperor when coins appeared with the new Emperor's portrait. Some of the emperors who ruled only for a short time made sure that a coin bore their image; Quietus, for example, ruled only part of the Roman Empire from 260 to 261 AD, and yet he issued two coins bearing his image.

"Krasnodar Krai", the first track on the album, "tells the story of a Cossack warrior riding home" to find 'home' has changed. The Quietus described second track "Altai Krai" as having "the feel of a square dance," while The New York Times noted its use of the throat singing indigenous to the Altai region. Third track "Perm Krai" was characterized as "smooth fusion with art-prog and metal edges, like a chance meeting of Basia, Henry Cow, and Marnie Stern." The album's fourth track "Stavropol Krai" is a "lament" in which archangels meet a sinful soul, according to The New York Times.

Despite the tense atmosphere between the duo, Moyet said the only serious argument she and Clarke had during recording of the album was over the song "Happy People", which she refused to sing. She told The Quietus in 2011, "There are just some places you can't go, I tried singing that song a couple of times but I couldn't genuinely bring anything to it so I wouldn't do it. But that's the only time I ever refused a song." As a result, Clarke ended up singing on the track, the only Yazoo song on which he sings lead vocals.

The live show has received positive to mixed reviews from critics and fans. The Independent praised and defended the show, giving it 5 out of 5 stars noting that "some people just can’t stand to have their boundaries gently nuzzled, let alone pushed" and "The Knife have caused uproar merely by... taking themselves out of centre stage". The Quietus called the show "a triumph of displacement and mistaken identity" emphasising "performance's endless capacity for disruption". The Guardian said "far from a joyless exercise in conceptualism, this is an absurdist sci-fi rave, complete with retro-futurist instruments, strobe lights and glow-sticks".

The price of grain became a major issue when the Roman province of Sicily revolted repeatedly, thus pushing the price to unaffordable levels. Lowering grain prices became an important part of the political platform of the radical popularist Saturninus, who acquired the office of plebeian tribune an unusual three times. The official responsible for the provision of the alimenta was the Curator alimentorum. During the empire, this post became an important bureaucratic position to be filled by the senatorial elite prior to achieving a consulship. The last known official to hold this post was Titus Flavius Postumius Quietus, probably during the early 270s.

The idea for the piece was originally conceived when LeBlanc heard Grandmaster Flash playing a record in conjunction with the sample "Do you feel lucky, punk?" taken from the 1971 action film Dirty Harry. In an interview with The Quietus, Leblanc recalled: "I just thought the combination of a beat and music and spoken word over the top of it was pretty magical to me." Leblanc began listening to Malcolm X's spoken word recordings while experimenting with different drum beats. The recording marked LeBlanc's first time working extensively with drum machines and as a producer, with the project being financed by Marshall Chess.

Galya Leads the London Contemporary Orchestra and can be heard on Radiohead's A Moon Shaped Pool, Lynne Ramsay's Cannes Film Festival Winner You Were Never Really Here, Thom Yorke's film score for the upcoming remake Suspiria, Frank Ocean's Blond, and Oscar-nominated Phantom Thread. Recently she co-wrote the track "Galya Beat" with Actress aka Darren Cunningham and Sam Wilson, released as part of the LP LAGEOS on Ninja Tune Records. She released her debut solo EP, EP One on NOMAD Music Productions on 30 November 2018. This was reviewed by notable publications Pitchfork and The Quietus.

" Discussing the writing process behind the album, he mused that he was just inspired to tell stories. He continued, "you gotta make sure the listener is listening to you, so if you put it into a song, often times, if the song is striking enough, then you can really deliver the story most effectively while keeping the ear of the listener the whole time. I guess it all starts with the stories for me." When asked by The Quietus if the songs from the album drew from his personal experiences, Frank commented "My kitchen is usually pretty clean, you know.

Strangers holds a score of 76 out of 100 from Metacritic based on "generally favorable reviews". The album was listed on several lists of 2016's best albums to date, including Spin, Newsweek, Uncut and The Quietus. Spin also listed "Janie in Love" as one of the best songs of 2016 so far. During this period, Nadler directed and animated music videos for Strangers tracks "Janie in Love" and "All the Colors of the Dark", as well as "Blood and Tears", a Danzig cover she had self-released as a digital-only single for Halloween 2015.

"Everybody" was commercially released as Madonna's first single in October 6, 1982, and came with a Lou Beach-designed sleeve depicting a hip hop–style NYC street scene. Because of the ambiguous nature of the record sleeve and the R&B; groove of the song, Madonna was widely believed to be a black artist when the single was released. According to Matthew Lindsay of The Quietus, it was ironic that the record sleeve did not depict Madonna on the cover, as she would become "the face of the 80s." "Everybody" was recorded at Sigma Sound Studios in New York City.

Quit rent, quit-rent, or quitrent is a tax or land tax imposed on occupants of freehold or leased land in lieu of services to a higher landowning authority, usually a government or its assigns. Under feudal law, the payment of quit rent (Latin Quietus Redditus, pl. Redditus Quieti) freed the tenant of a holding from the obligation to perform such other services as were obligatory under feudal tenure, or freed the occupier of the land from the burden of having others use their own distinct rights that affected the land (e.g. hunting rights which would have hindered farming).

Paul Simpson of AllMusic gave the album 4 out of 5 stars, writing, "Transports seven tracks are hypnotic, expansive, and unforced, with both artists seeming very comfortable in the studio." Maria Perevedentseva of The Quietus wrote, "Transport does not represent a paradigm shift nor an experimental frenzy, but what it does offer is a studied and disarmingly beautiful crystallisation of more than two decades of techno, produced by two people who have been at its cutting edge since the very beginning." Rolling Stone placed it at number 19 on the "20 Best EDM and Electronic Albums of 2016" list.

In 2012 Mondanile signed to Domino Records and released The Flower Lane. In contrast to his earlier work, it was recorded in a studio and mixed over the summer of 2012 with Al Carlson (Peaking Lights) and co-written by New Jersey band Big Troubles, who had backed Mondanile in live shows for some time.Clay, Joe (2013) "Ducktails The Flower Lane", The Quietus, February 1, 2013.

He reasoned that "it's ultimately her skill at painting from experience, conveying "vibes from the heart" without concern for generic conventions, that makes Playin' Me unique and gives it a human appeal beyond its prescribed [dubstep] scene." However, Finlayson also described Playin' Me's dancefloor- suited songs as "pale and slightly lacklustre: whether it's a matter of technical production chops or less tangible creative choices, they often lack punch and dynamic, a fact which is no doubt a turn-off for DJs in clubs as much as it is for yours truly at home."Finlayson, Angus (25 July 2012).

Distorted Sound Magazine described it as a "confident combination of the shredding riffs of metal and the belligerent slam of hardcore meant that they were able to straddle both genres with confidence". They have cited influences including Terror, Madball, Down, Pantera, Crowbar, and Despised Icon. In an article for The Quietus, Dan Franklin described their music as "rooted in the beefed-up chuggery of the turn-of-the-millennium New Wave of American Heavy Metal – Chimaira’s The Impossibility Of Reason, Hatebreed’s Satisfaction Is the Death of Desire and Perseverance, with a dollop of Crowbar’s Sonic Excess in Its Purest Form".

The preceding album, Ghettoville, had been suspected to have been his last. As an artist, Actress has always been considered vague in regards to the intentions behind his actions and albums. Christian Eede of The Quietus writes that while a common theme of Cunningham's albums reportedly experienced by listeners is death and a downbeat vibe, AZD shows Actress in a more humorous and open light. Cunningham tends to give vague titles to his music works to give his audience a glimpse of what the concept of the pieces are instead of fully revealing his thoughts on his songs.

" Matt Yuyitung of Exclaim! described it as "a scrappy psychedelic sound that sits somewhere between Tame Impala and the garage rock howl of King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard". Loud and Quiet, however, described it as "an absolute noise rock maelstrom. Here is your proverbial tempest in a teapot." Chad Parkhill of The Quietus similarly noted "an unhinged and feral energy that pulses through these nine songs and goes beyond the considerable demented racket that the Drones are able to conjure at their finest: it’s less full-frontal sonic assault and more auditory guerrilla warfare, full of surprising textures and scrappy tones.

Jude Rogers from The Quietus said that the song features a vocal "that shows what his voice really can do" and that "Even a middle-eight that nods towards the trippy oompah of 'I Am the Walrus' can't change a mood that is both grand but melancholy, epic but reflective." "Last Days of Disco" was released as a promotional single in the United States on 5 October 2010. The single featured several remixes by the artists including Roger Sanchez, Still Going, Black Van and Mighty Mouse. It peaked at number seven on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Songs chart.

The group's James Dean Bradfield recalled the occasion in an interview with The Quietus magazine: "My memory may not be absolutely accurate these days, but I do remember Richey having correspondence with Kevin Pearce. He was kind of a mod English eccentric, and there was a kind of 'fanzine mafia' with Kevin Pearce and Sarah Records and Heavenly. For me, it was all very very English. Richey had been sending things off to Sarah Records, and he sent things to Kevin Pearce and that’s how we got our first London gig, at the Horse And Groom at Great Portland St".

According to Peter Greenway, the song is not about him, but about Smith's perception of what he should be like: A "gangster type who doesn't take any shit ... a nasty guy ... Quite far from the truth, to be honest". In the song, the singer relates seeing his own lookalike in a music video and visiting a "snotty and offensive" group of people at their hotel room. Critics Luke Turner of The Quietus and Ben Ratliff of The New York Times interpreted "Greenway" as an attack on the band These New Puritans, who were explicitly mentioned by Smith during live performances of the song.

The Atlantic writer Llewellyn Hinkes Jones identified a variety of music styles from the 2000s characterized by mellow beats, vintage synthesizers, and lo-fi melodies, including chillwave, glo-fi, and hypnagogic pop. These three terms were described as interchangeable by the Quietus, along with other terms "dream-beat" and "hipster-gogic pop." Altogether, they may be viewed as a type of synth-based psychedelic music. The term "chillwave" was coined in July 2009 on the Hipster Runoff blog by Carles (the pseudonym used by the blog's author) on his accompanying "blog radio" show of the same name.

" Alexis Petridis of The Guardian mused that the track seemed ambitious to the point of sounding slightly daft, and that the track was "certainly unlike anything else in current R&B.;" PopMatterss Brice Ezell stated that all it takes is one listen to 'Pyramids', the shape-shifting opus of channel ORANGE to cement Ocean's status as one of contemporary R&B;'s vital songwriters. John Calvert of The Quietus called "Pyramids" a little "structurally ramshackle though never erratic, it's the type of massive album centrepiece that was inconceivable before The-Dream's stadium-R&B; reinvented the genre as a mythological epic.

" USA Today stated that on the album, "much of the music — audacious, heavily distorted and bubbling with electronics — sounds magnificently fresh. As the ensemble shape- shifts from the cleaner rock template of The Suburbs and Neon Bible to exotic beat-driven mashups, Arcade owes a debt to David Bowie (who has a brief cameo) and Achtung-era U2. Co-producer James Murphy of LCD Soundsystem also brings his rhythmic chops to the mix in dizzying dance hybrids." Emily Mackay of The Quietus notes that "the question of what comes next, though, isn't one that Arcade Fire need fear any longer.

In May 2015 Grasscut released their third studio album titled Everyone Was a Bird. The album has been described by Clash as "an engrossing, artful work", and by The Quietus as "that rare slab of post-rock that uses the genre's textures and general ethos of exploration to create new sounds instead of rehashing old ones". The album features guest vocals from Adrian Crowley and Seamus Fogarty and strings by Emma Smith and Vince Sipprell. The liner notes were written by acclaimed landscape writer Robert Macfarlane and were premiered on the website Caught by the River in April 2015.

Uncle Acid was originally the otherwise-anonymous frontman, although he has since changed his stage name to K.R. Starrs and now views the band members collectively as being "Uncle Acid". Blood Lust was the band's breakthrough album, with The Quietus describing it as "a glorious and idiosyncratic collection that quickly garnered rabid cult status amongst the worldwide doom fraternity" and Decibel Magazine referring to it as "a groovy, evil delight". Allmusic described Blood Lust as "a mixture of psychedelic rock's harrowing comedown, garage and punk rock's nihilistic ascent, and the earliest manifestations of heavy metal's occult-laced, nerve-damaging bludgeon".

Amy Pettifer from The Quietus observed that the chorus could have been sung by any other singer, but Madonna, "despite being a weaker singer, licks it in the emotional truth stakes, particularly on this more melancholy end of the spectrum. Singing with a tremulous tonality, her voice hangs in uncluttered space, the lyrics positioning her as the dark-glowing, guiding light. A brilliant, desperate and rousing anthem." Along with comparing Madonna's vocals in Ghosttown to that of Karen Carpenter, Farber also observed that it was her most "rich sounding" voice since her Evita soundtrack, comparable to "Live to Tell" and also "Crazy for You".

" Humphries expressed a similar opinion: "There's someting infinitely unsatisfying about this album. From the false image of the band to the hollow songs they perform."Martin Power David Sylvian: The Last Romantic, Omnibus Press 2012, chapter 4 In his retrospective review, Ned Raggett of AllMusic called it "unquestionably the album in which Japan truly found its own unique voice and aesthetic approach." The Quietus wrote that the album "took the sound of Quiet Life and refined it into a series of oblique, almost cinematic avant-pop creations that exquisitely surround the frontman’s woozy post-Bryan Ferry croon in layers of pop textures that sounded like little else by Japan’s contemporaries.

Soma likewise received very positive reviews from music critics. The Quietus described the album as the "side B to Auras side A" and wrote that "The way in which the band bludgeon brutally and then return to the shadows with ease of transition is something that takes time to master. Yet even though the band has only released a handful of songs at this point in time, we've now come to expect this kind of instantaneous tension and release mastery from Bölzer." Later that year the band performed at Maryland Deathfest, their first show in the United States, and later toured Latin America with Grave Miasma.

Scar is a mini album featuring six full- length tracks. Three of its songs ("Baby Talk", "Bitter" and "Second Sight") were written and composed by Berenyi and one ("Thoughtforms") was written and composed by Anderson; the two remaining songs ("Scarlet" and "Etheriel") were joint compositions between Berenyi and Anderson. Scar was described as having a distinctive style, "somewhere between Cocteau Twins and Sonic Youth", as well as "a mix of angelic vocals over subtle guitar trash, of melodies over chaotic rhythms, of haunting whispers over spitting feedback." The mini album's songs were also noted by The Quietus as having "dissonant arrangements" and "swirls of ethereal, narcotic guitar" amidst Berenyi's vocals.

Grimm Grimm's music has been described by Folk Radio UK as "Otherworldly forays into baroque folk, futurist lyricism and electroacoustic oddities" The Quietus described his 2020 album, Ginormous, as "Accented with percussion that comes in small clicks and creaks, metronomic rhythms, clacking, cranking sounds like wind-up gears, which sometimes stand in for more conventional drumming, or, as on 'Kyowa Amenohidesu', can create a halting, glitchy tempo."Clash also gave his album "Hazy Eyes Maybe" an 8/10 describing it as "On the surface, 'Hazy Eyes Maybe' might seem a simple, acoustic album, but scrape beneath the surface and there lies intricately crafted layers of mournful, morphing, melancholic hooks".

The Quietus, Melissa Steiner, April 11th, 2013 Soon after Azar and Jones launched a musical performance installation for The Theatre Centre Pop-Up called 'The Bruised Garden'. In 2014, the installation was incorporated into the stage set for Jones and Minus Smile's group 'Opera Arcana', for which Azar wrote a script named 'Opera Arcana in The Bruised Spirits of Southern Ontario'. This played for two nights at Videofag performance space in Kensington Market. Azar launched her live workshop production of 'Dink' at The Next Stage Theatre Festival in downtown Toronto at The Factory Theatre in January, 2015, starring the broadway stage star David Keeley.

Set in the context of the ambient genre, Beats Per Minutes Ian Barker holds that it "quietly stand[s] a shade taller than many of its peers". Both Pitchfork and Uncut placed the album at number 30 on their respective lists of the top 50 albums of 2011, while The Quietus named the album #3 on its rundown the top albums of 2011. The album was longlisted for the Canada-based 2011 Polaris Music Prize, and in March 2011 it won the Juno Award for best Canadian Electronic music album. In 2019, Pitchfork ranked the album at number 136 on their list of "The 200 Best Albums of the 2010s".

In a reflective 2006 article, Sean O'Neal in The A.V. Club said OMD would "give up" creatively after 1983's Dazzle Ships. The Quietus writer Julian Marszalek in 2010 suggested that the band would have been "more fondly remembered" had they split up after releasing that album, rather than in 1996. Conversely, Marszalek's colleague John Doran said: "It's quite popular to see OMD as nose-diving into the effluence after Dazzle Ships but the truth is there is still much to recommend". Ian Peel, in a piece written for Record Collector, opined that the group's legacy consisted of "two brilliant, but very different, bands".

" Ian Wade in The Quietus wrote that OMD's 1983 album Dazzle Ships is "held close to the hearts" of multiple artists. Saint Etienne's Bob Stanley said it was "a huge influence on us – a massive pop group putting together two or three recognisable pop songs and loads of found sounds." Chris Walla of Death Cab for Cutie called the "gorgeous" and "daring" record "a big chunk of the inspiration" for his group's Codes and Keys (2011). Mark Ronson, to whom the album was recommended by singer Amanda "MNDR" Warner, remarked: "I was just completely floored [...] It's just so elegant but a bit lo-fi at the same time.

Rory Gibb of The Quietus commented that "Ardour is a lush, sumptuous record, openly heartfelt and immediately welcoming, though deceptively complex beneath its gauzy surface." Nate Patrin of Pitchfork gave the album an 8.0 out of 10, writing, "It's wispy and gentle and a bit cheerful on the surface, but giving it a deep listen will bring forth some of the more complex and abrasive elements to the forefront." Kristina Benson of LA Weekly called it "one of the most delicate and lovely albums of the year". Jeff Weiss of Los Angeles Times wrote, "it's one of the most anticipated records within the Los Angeles beat community".

Ocean's songwriting uses descriptive narratives, dense metre, surrealistic imagery, empathic sentiments, deadpan humor, overt metaphors, and conversational devices. John Calvert of The Quietus wrote that his lyrics treat love as "innocent", and feature "flying-as-love" metaphors and "respectful euphemisms" for sex such as a flight on a "fighter jet". Embling of Tiny Mix Tapes regarded Channel Orange as a "songwriter's album" and views that, although "the emotions, mood, and melodies are broad enough to draw listeners in", Ocean's lyrics are "apocryphal, allowing for personal interpretations". Ocean's narratives generally depict dark, broken characters, and a Southern California setting, with references to its sunny, coastal environment in both the lyrics and melodies.

I am going to have to stop one day, but I expect the band will carry on."The Stranglers are heading to the Midlands – Birmingham Mail However, bassist Jean-Jacques Burnel said during the same period: "When he can [no] longer contribute – and I don't think that's long – then there will be no more Stranglers." He remarked that Black was "on oxygen" even after drumming on slower numbers like "Golden Brown".Mr Dojo Rising: JJ Burnel Of The Stranglers Interviewed – The Quietus In 2014, Black said of the Stranglers: "This is the best band in the world — and we'll carry on until we can't any more.

" Writing for AllMusic, Liam Martin was more reserved when appraising the album. Comparing it unfavourably to the band's previous albums, Martin stated that "there is much to enjoy here; their raucous energy shines just as bright, but underneath the surface Ultra Mono lacks the sparkle that made their first two records truly special." Conversely, JR Moores was much less favourable in his review for The Quietus, criticising the lyrics and a perceived misuse of the guest musicians featured on the record, classifying it as a "by-numbers rock plod", before rounding out his review with "three albums in and the hype has died down. The ideas are drying up.

The Quietus critiqued that "it feels a bit more confident; where Oliver Sim and Madley-Croft's wordplay on their debut was tentative, there's a newfound directness". Brendan Frank of Beats Per Minute commended Croft for "delivering a simple love note to an anonymous recipient," adding that "she does a magnificent job of carrying the piece on her own." Stephen Thompson of NPR called "Angels" a "gentle love song made all the more disarming for its simplicity," writing that it "ratchets up the tension using the fewest possible ingredients." In Australia, the song was voted by members of the public to number 19 on Triple J Hottest 100 of 2012.

Bas relief depicting the triumph of Shapur I over Valerian Faced with Shapur I's third campaign, the Roman emperor Valerian marched against the Persian monarch but was defeated near Edessa in late spring 260 and taken prisoner. The Persian emperor then ravaged Cappadocia and Cilicia, and claimed to have captured Antioch on the Orontes. Taking advantage of the situation, Fulvius Macrianus, the commander of the imperial treasury, declared his sons Quietus and Macrianus Minor as joint emperors in August 260, in opposition to Valerian's son Gallienus. Fulvius Macrianus took Antioch on the Orontes as his center and organized the resistance against Shapur I; he dispatched Balista, his praetorian prefect, to Anatolia.

The band started recording the album in 2015.Murray, Eoin (2017) "Stendhal Syndrome: Idles Interviewed", The Quietus, 29 June 2017. Retrieved 27 August 2018 Singer Joe Talbot's mother (who is pictured on the album cover along with a sculpture by Talbot and his father) died during the recording of the album after a long illness, and his time caring for her, and her death, had a major impact on the album, with Talbot later stating "She was that album. That's why she was on the cover."Hann, Michael (2018) "‘I'm not the next Billy Bragg’: On the road with Idles’ Joe Talbot", The Guardian, 15 June 2018.

The album made many of the year-end best album lists for 2015. This double album was built around their "The Universe Explained" gig where they had Higgs boson scientists explain the universe before The Membranes played a set to finish. The album was launched by a gig at the top of Blackpool Tower - the first time a band had played there. The album was critically acclaimed with the website The Quietus calling it "one of the albums of the year" and NME calling it "an extraordinary comeback" and was regularly played on BBC Radio 6 Music where they recorded several sessions for Marc Riley.

Critic Robert Christgau awarded the album a two-star "honourable mention" and recommended the songs "Little by Little" and "Bloom". Quietus critic Ben Graham felt it could be Radiohead's best work, writing: "King of Limbs revisits the Kid A / Amnesiac period that alienated so many fans of OK Computer but does so with a greater maturity and weight of experience that enriches both the songs and the process." Some felt The King of Limbs was less innovative than Radiohead's prior albums. Mark Pytlik of Pitchfork called it "well-worn terrain for Radiohead, and while it continues to yield rewarding results, the band's signature game-changing ambition is missed".

The title was taken from the essay by Deleuze and Guattari "One or Several Wolves" from the book A Thousand Plateaus. Along with the guest appearance from Essa on Breakthrough, Welsh artist Richard James performed vocals on the track Blue Minds. Several Wolves also received positive reviews including 8/10 from Mixmag, 4 stars from Q Magazine, 7/10 from Uncut magazine, ArtRocker album of the week, BBC 6 Music album of the day and an article in The Quietus among others. After the positive reception of the album, Trwbador closed the year by playing a live session at BBC Maida Vale studios for Huw Stephens BBC Radio 1 show.

Described as a "prophetic document" and "the beginning of the end" by The Leaf Label, Channel the Spirits draws on the same influences of jazz, electronica, psychedelia and sci-fi references as the previous release from The Comet Is Coming, Prophecy. The first single, "Space Carnival", was premiered on The Quietus, who described the track as a demonstration of "the group refining their cosmic jazz stylings". In an interview with M magazine, band member Betamax Killer said of the album: > Channel The Spirits was meant to be a soundtrack to planet Earth’s doom. To > stare death in the face and explore a symphony of human emotions.

Cultural theorist Mark Fisher characterized a variety of musical developments in the late 1970s, including post-punk, synthpop, and particularly the work of German electronic band Kraftwerk, as situated within art pop traditions. He states that Bowie and Roxy Music's English style of art pop "culminated" with the music of the British group Japan. The Quietus characterized Japan's 1979 album Quiet Life as defining "a very European form of detached, sexually- ambiguous and thoughtful art-pop" similar to that explored by Bowie on 1977's Low. Brian Eno and John Cale would serve a crucial part in the careers of Bowie, Talking Heads, and many key punk and post-punk records.

Tim Smith rejects the term, and prefers the description "psychedelic" or simply "pop". Musicians that the band have cited as influences include XTC, Van der Graaf Generator, Gong, early Split Enz, Devo, Gentle Giant, Alberto Y Los Trios Paranoias, early Genesis, Deaf School and Wire."Why A Heart Attack Must Not Arrest The Cardiacs" – article by Graham Bendel in The Quietus, 4 May 2010 Smith has stated, "I don’t know what influences us really, I wouldn’t say that we are influenced by any actual bands in particular". Tim Smith has denied that Gentle Giant was an influence on the band, but Sarah Smith says that they were.

The film has received positive and mixed reviews—review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes gives the film a 71% score with seven professional reviews. Most positive reviews were restrained: for instance, The Quietus called the film "handsome albeit conventional"; writing for The Guardian, Andrew Pulver noted that it was a "pretty straightforward concert movie" and gave the film three out of five stars, but criticized Curtis' direction for using bland shots. A negative review from The Strangers Christopher Frizzelle advised potential viewers to "run in the other direction" due to the poor choreography and dull interviews. The Independents Anthony Quinn found the choreography unacceptable as well as Byrne's arrangement and song selection.

Some of the best known of the ancient Berbers are the Numidian king Masinissa, king Jugurtha, the Berber-Roman author Apuleius, Saint Augustine of Hippo, and the Berber-Roman general Lusius Quietus, who was instrumental in defeating the major wave of Jewish revolts of 115–117 in ancient Israel. The Berber queen Dihya, or Kahina, was a religious and political leader who led a military Berber resistance against the Arab-Muslim expansion in Northwest Africa. Kusaila was a 7th-century leader of the Berber Awerba tribe and King of the Iẓnagen confederation and resisted the Arab-Muslim invasion. Yusuf ibn Tashfin was a Muslim king of the Berber Almoravid dynasty.

Herman Melville: Mariner and Mystic (1921) was the first full-length study of Melville. Weaver presents Melville as a disappointed and disillusioned genius who rebelled against social convention and paid the price: "His whole history is the record of an attempt to escape from an inexorable and intolerable world of reality." Weaver praises Melville for establishing the South Seas as a suitable topic for literature and for his depictions of a sailor's sea-life, but saved his highest praise for Moby-Dick, Melville's "undoubted masterpiece." But Weaver saw the cold reception from critics as leading to the "Long Quietus," that is, Melville's withdrawal from engagement with literature.

" Julian Marszalek of The Quietus gave the album positive review, but added that "[i]t's not going to replace the band's first three peerless albums in your affections, and the chances of frequent revisits after its initial satisfying of curiosity are low." Jamie Fullerton of NME gave the album an eight out of ten, saying "The most significant thing about the album is the return of guitarist James Williamson following the death of Ron Asheton in 2009." Kitty Empire of The Guardian gave the album three out of five stars saying, "Obviously, RTD is no sequel to Raw Power. But there is an oomph to it.

Robert Christgau, writing for Noisey, called the album an "unrelenting hour of protest music" and considered it an improvement over Catch My Shoe. The Quietus considered it to be "possibly their most accomplished to date; still brimful of ideas and wisdom and still spitting out enough attitude and trickery to last most bands a career [...] they continue to get better and better". Norman Records and Oor ranked it the 7th and 9th best album of the year respectively. Tom Hull ranked it the best non-jazz album of 2018, while Christgau ended up ranking it at #22 on his "Dean's List 2019" (which includes albums from both 2018 & 2019).

" Stuart Berman of Pitchfork praised Gira's efforts on the album, stating: "He's responded in the best way possible: by producing a record that, in structure and scale, is every bit The Seers equal, yet possessed by a peculiar energy and spirit that proves all the more alluring in its dark majesty." Rory Gibb of The Quietus wrote: "By this point they've further coalesced into an inseparable entity: on To Be Kind we experience Swans as totality, all seething ebb and flow, crafting music that seems to breathe of its own volition." He also stated that the album's songs "feel more fluid and open-ended than before, expressive and rich in possibility.

To Each... has been seen in a more negative light by critics in comparison to the band's early music. AllMusic wrote that, with the album, "the group dropped much of the bleak dance-punk of early material in place of what sounds like a shallow attempt to seize the baton dropped by gloom giants Joy Division after the death of Ian Curtis", calling the record "a bit too mired in its own misery to make an impression on listeners." Trouser Press wrote: "The studied tedium of To Each... [...] snuffed the [band's] early promise, as the band buried itself in dreary rhythms and astonishing self- indulgence." The Quietus echoed similar sentiments.

Critic Ned Raggett called the album a "scuzzy masterpiece" that saw "Cave's now-demonic vocals in full roar while the rest of the players revamped rhythm & blues and funk into a blood-soaked exorcism." Julian Marszalek of The Quietus writes that "Junkyard still sounds as if it’s waiting for rock music to catch up with it," calling it "a high example of uncompromised music and art [...] that exists purely on its own terms." In October 2010, Junkyard was listed at No. 17 in the book, 100 Best Australian Albums. The album was also included in the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die.

It is the first album to be released by Ecstatic Peace Library, a publishing company ran by visual book editor Eva Prinz and musician Thurston Moore, in their Daydream Library Series. Sistahs was released on 30 November to positive reviews, including in The Guardian, Rolling Stone, and The Quietus. In November 2018 they supported American band Parquet Courts on a UK and European tour. They played their first American shows in March 2019 at South by Southwest, debuting via BBC Music Introducing, and were announced in April as Bikini Kill's main support for their two European shows of the year at Brixton Academy in June.

Reviewing in March 2009 for Rolling Stone, Jody Rosen found most of the album's songs "unforgettable" and said, "the combination of classicist songcraft, wild sound collage and a muse that partakes equally of the sensual and the silly makes Love vs. Money far more than just an accomplished genre piece". Alex Macpherson of The Quietus noted its cyclical thematic structure, but stated, "it's how the wheel turns, endlessly and inevitably, which is what compels about Love vs Money." Slant Magazines Wilson McBee viewed it as an improvement over Love Hate and wrote that it "keeps to the same aesthetic touchstones [...] while cranking up the gears of ambition".

She sounds like a spirit unable to cross over, forlorn and forsaken, reciting her litany of love and regret," even if "the slightness of sound occasionally threatens to undermine the record's fragile veil of magic".AU magazine. Stridulum II "She has a way with a lyric, the way that the greatest pop stars do, of saying something simple that could mean so much to so many – conveying the universal in one chorus or a snatch of verse," The Quietus reviewer wrote, again praising Danilova's voice: "It swallows you up, enraptures you. It, more than anything else in her impressive arsenal, is what drags you in and doesn't let you go.

The Quietus described the title track as "full of mischief and malevolence" and the rest of the EP as "answering the call of the weird". Pitchfork noted the longevity of the line-up as "an encouraging sign that stability has yet to ossify into stagnation with this ongoing iteration of the band, who formidably exercise their elasticity over the course of these six wildly divergent tracks". The Line of Best Fit commented that the EP "isn’t necessarily consistently solid, but it’s decidedly close. Fundamentally though it’s reaffirmation of their aptitude for quantity and quality". NME found the EP to "sound like someone’s brought Elvis back to life".

It's comfortably the catchiest thing here too, sounds a bit like 'C'est La Vie' by Stereophonics, which itself sounded quite a lot like Bowie. It's the one that should hang around setlists for years to come." The Quietus in their review of the album by Patrick Clarke was less positive about the track; "'Bless This Acid House' is the record's particular nadir, and the starkest illustration of what's wrong with the new Kasabian album. Shooting for anthemic but landing in some unhappy medium between a limp imitation of Primal Scream's Give Out… and every 'summer anthem' a team of faceless major label songwriters could ever try to conjure.

Patrick Higgins is an American avant-garde composer, guitarist, and producer from New York City, known for his work in experimental and contemporary classical music. He plays guitar and composes in the ensemble Zs, described by The New York Times as "one of the strongest avant-garde bands in New York." His work as composer traverses the styles of the European avant-garde and the tradition of post-minimalist Downtown New York music. He has received attention for his unique style of guitar playing and his work as a composer, heralded as "one of the most gifted guitarists working today" (The Quietus) and a "formidable concert music composer" (The Boston Globe).

Only Salt-N-Pepa could have got close." Lesley Chow from The Quietus said that on the song, "Cherry already comes across as a fully formed artist: powerful and casually multicultural, as we might expect from an African-Swedish singer raised in Yorkshire and Long Island." She added that it is "a song of many moods, as Cherry goes on to alternate between anger and softness, anti-materialism and a high fashion attitude. A rising synth figure bubbles us up to a heavenly chorus ("No money man can win my love/ It's sweetness that I'm thinking of") which shows a rare tenderness in the narrator.

There is some confusion over the lead character's name, which appears to relate to a mysterious figure in Céline's Journey to the End of the Night, inspired by Robinson Crusoe; it was released around the same time as the first film of Patrick Keiller's Robinson trilogy, which Keiller claimed took the name from Kafka's Amerika but others, such as Iain Sinclair, have related to Céline and indirectly to Petit. Initial reviews were muted: reviewing it in 1993 Lezard felt it would work better as a film than a novel. Publishers Weekly called it "mostly a mood piece" and "nothing more than atmospherics". More recently its reputation has improved: The Quietus called it a "classic".

Berenyi attributed the unusual arrangements on Scar to the fact that "none of [Lush's members were] particularly brilliant musicians, certainly at the beginning". She further explained that the band's nature was "quite experimental" and that the songs developed in the studio, with one member often writing other members' song parts and "quite laboriously" attempting to explain how to perform it. Berenyi's vocals on Scar, described by The Quietus as "submerged girl-next-door vocals", are largely indistinct and deliberately low in the mix, typical of the shoegazing genre. Scars lyrics , according to the band, are "female rather than feminist" and were described as "perverse or brilliant or funny or even stupid" by Alternative Press.

In 2008 the Art Fund purchased Monumental Jar V for Middlesbrough Institute of Modern Art (mima) and in 2014 purchased "Reliquary for a Common Man" for the Crafts Council. In 2017 Julain was the recipient of the bavarois State Prize in recognition of outstanding contribution to contemporary art and design. Recent projects include the solo exhibitions: "Quotidian", the re-imagining of the historic 'Grand Service at Corvi-Mora Gallery, London and Quietus: The Vessel, Death and the Human Body which was commissioned by mima and supported by Arts Council England. This exhibition addressed the containment of the human body in death and featured a series of funerary works, from cinerary jars to life- size sarcophagi.

During her three-and-a-half years with Sounds, she was promoted to features editor, and finally to deputy editor of the magazine. The music website The Quietus describes her report for Sounds on the Rolling Stones' 1976 UK tour as a "classic feature". A longtime fan of the Rolling Stones, Charone befriended Keith Richards and the latter's common law wife, Anita Pallenberg, following their arrest in Toronto in February 1977, when Richards was charged with intent to traffic heroin. She spent the next two years working on an authorized biography of the Stones' guitarist and songwriter, during which she was afforded rare access to the couple's private life at Richards' Redlands estate.

He called it "[o]ne of the few synth-pop records of the era -- instrumental or otherwise -- that attempted to develop the universe of possibilities inherent in the form," and felt the music was groundbreaking, saying: "It's not even a matter of sounding dated; Music for Listening To sounds decades ahead of its time and could easily be taken for music produced 20 years later." He credited parts of the album with anticipating techno music. In a 2013 list for The Quietus, Moby ranked Music for Stowaways among his thirteen favourite albums and described "The Decline of the West" as one of his motivations for starting a musical career. Musician Ralf Dörper of Propaganda compared the album to Kraftwerk.

Orpheus in Exile was well received by critics overall. John Tatlock of The Quietus calls the album "a respectful tribute and joyous celebration rather than an overly reverent imitation" as well as "a career highlight and a unique window on a marginalised and hidden history". Thom Jureck of AllMusic compares "the way that Almond resurrects and delivers Kozin's music" to "the stuff of poetry itself" before summarising that the album "reflects and invokes the deeper emotions these songs convey in anyone open-minded enough to give them a sincere listen". The Daily Express is also positive, calling Almond's approach to "these luscious tales of love, loss and bitter fate" as "masterful" in a review by Robert Spellman.

In 2014 and 2015, in the run-up to their 25th anniversary, the label signed and released albums by The Wytches, Gwenno, Eaves, Drinks, H. Hawkline, Hooton Tennis Club, Kid Wave, King Gizzard And The Lizard Wizard and Fever The Ghost. In April 2015, Jeff Barrett and Heavenly right-hand man Danny Mitchell accepted the Music Week Awards prize for Best Independent Record Company. In 2017, King Gizzard And The Lizard Wizard released five critically acclaimed full-length albums, all on Heavenly. Pitchfork described the releases as “musically and ideologically dense albums […] showing a new dedication to pop craftsmanship.” The Quietus said that each album “offered up something radical and conceptually full- blown.

Historian David Simonelli writes that, further to the Beatles' "Tomorrow Never Knows" (Revolver, 1966), the band's February 1967 double A-side single, pairing "Strawberry Fields Forever" with "Penny Lane", "establish[ed] the Beatles as the most avant-garde [rock] composers of the postwar era". Aside from the Beatles, author Doyle Greene identifies Frank Zappa, the Velvet Underground, Plastic Ono Band, Captain Beefheart, Pink Floyd, the Soft Machine and Nico as "pioneers of avant-rock". In addition, The Quietus Ben Graham described duos the Silver Apples and Suicide as antecedents of avant-rock. In the opinion of Stuart Rosenberg, the first "noteworthy" experimental rock group was the Mothers of Invention, led by composer Frank Zappa.

Writing for The Quietus, Nick Roseblade listed "Hustle" and other two songs from Hurts 2B Human, "(Hey Why) Miss You Sometime" and "Can We Pretend", respectively, as "fun, infectious" pop songs that "made Pink a household name." Aimee Cliff from The Guardian described the track as "stomping [...] underdog me-against- the-world" anthem. Brandy Robidoux from Hollywood Life said that "Hustle" is a "hard-hitting, rockin' [...] badass anthem for the ages", while the "Bitch please" phrase is "likely sending anyone who's ever broken her heart running for the hills." Angelica Acevedo from Billboard felt that Pink is showing off "her country side" in the song, as well as giving "a classic bad-ass vibe".

" Amy Pettifer of The Quietus praised the track for being "rich with Nicki vibes, without Nicki actually making a second appearance", claiming: "Sex has always been one of M's favourite subjects, particularly when it's hand in daring hand with religion; here she performs a kind of erotic baptism while a Moroder-esque bass underscores her sermon. It's one of many strong choruses that take you somewhere unexpected." She also praised the "Vogue" sample and defined the track as a "cunning turn from the Holy Madonna and Baby Yeezus." Kyle Anderson of Entertainment Weekly wrote that Madonna sells the song, due to "the bass gurgles that remind[ed him] of classic Massive Attack or the reference to 'Vogue.

Melt Yourself Down's second studio album was released on The Leaf Label on 29 April 2016. The track "The God Of You" was released on 26 February as a second single, premiered on The Quietus. In an announcement by Clash, the album was described as a "blast of musical exploration" with "an apocalyptic tone". Drowned In Sound wrote that "the compositions are more complex, the music tighter and everything has an immediacy that was missing before...Last Evenings on Earth is as vast and sprawling as their self-titled debut, yet at the same time it’s concise and refined". In August 2016, Last Evenings On Earth was nominated for Best ‘Difficult’ Second Album in the AIM awards.

Each song features lyrical exclamations and shouted slogans that have been compared to terrace chants; The Quietus felt the shouted slogans are "a style that seems political in itself" which help highlight the otherwise highly germane songs. "Don't Get Mad...Get Even!" reflects the influence of house music, featuring both beats and bass-lines in a New York house style. Gray's brother Trevor played keyboards on the song, taking influence from the house music played at nightclubs that Watson performed at. "Ready or Not Here We Come" features satirical lyrics concerning American military adventurism, while "Hold On" was pitched to several television networks as potential theme music for coverage of the 1987 general election.

" Among retrospective reviews, Stewart Mason of AllMusic named the record an "Album Pick" and wrote: "Abrasive, noisy, yet vibrant and intriguing, One Thousand Years of Trouble deserved more attention than it got." Reflecting on the album's thirtieth anniversary, Angus Batey of The Quietus wrote that the record could likely only have been produced at its "precise moment in time" when house and hip hop were played together in club DJ sets, before the rise of the hip house fusion genre and the separation of audiences between the two genres. He wrote that the album still sounds "so durably excellent three decades later." Writing for The Guardian, he also called the album "a triumph.

In a review rated 8 out of 10, NME said that "rather than reinventing Bowie, [The Next Day] absorbs his past and moves it on". The Quietus wrote a positive review and concluded: "so more than half the album is fantastic, and the rest is very, very strong." At Q, Andrew Harrison evoked that the release "feels like a dam bursting", and this is because the album "is a loud, thrilling, steamrollingly confident rock and roll album full of noise, energy, and words that [...] if as cryptic as ever they were [...] sound like they desperately need to be sung." One of the few negative reviews to emerge from the United Kingdom was in The Wire.

Bearded magazine wrote that "this is a debut album that will leave you dumbfounded, reeling, exhausted and inspired". The Quietus praised the "sense of perspiring, physical energy that pulses through almost everything" and the "outrageous, head-snapping riff and hip-snapping beat[s]" as well as the "echoes...of Space Invaders, 70s sci-fi films, the BBC Radiophonic Workshop, post-punk, Fela Kuti, and 80s dance and electronica as well as...Sun Ra, Parliament, and Funkadelic". Penny Black Music called the album "engaging, atmospheric and intoxicating...one of the more forward- thinking and groundbreaking albums you will hear this year...not to be missed". In August 2016, the album was shortlisted for the Mercury Prize.

Numan performing in 2011 In a September 2009 interview with The Quietus, Numan said that he and Trent Reznor planned to make music together. Numan was set to perform a small number of American live dates in April 2010, including a Coachella Festival appearance in California, but had to cancel because air travel in Europe was halted by the Icelandic volcanic ash cloud. As a result, the tour was not only postponed but expanded, and his Pleasure Principle 30th Anniversary Tour's American and Mexican dates began on 17 October 2010, at Firestone Live in Orlando, Florida. Numan toured Australia in May 2011 performing his seminal album The Pleasure Principle in its entirety to celebrate its thirtieth anniversary.

September 10, 2006. Web. Retrieved September 2, 2014. Since 1967, Zummo's compositions exploring the rock, jazz, new- and electronic- music, disco, punk, and world-music idioms have been presented in venues including the Brooklyn Academy of Music, New York City Center, Experimental Intermedia Foundation, Dance Theater Workshop, and La MaMa Experimental Theatre Club, among many others in New York City, as well as in numerous additional spaces worldwide. The website of the music magazine Pitchfork called Zummo's music “the sound of sublimity…that sends shivers down the nervous system,” and in an interview with The Quietus, Scottish deejay JD Twitch (Keith McIvor) characterized Zummo's work as “sheer bliss.”Andy Beta. “Arthur Russell/Peter Zummo: Zummo With An X”. Pitchfork.

Describing the album's musical style, The Quietus opined "It had to sound passé, it had to be overdone; if you're trying to bulldoze the shiny edifice of western pop culture, you can't do it tastefully or with subtlety, can you? [...] Generation Terrorists intentionally overplays its hand, overeggs its pudding and spunks its load at every turn". and Pitchfork writer Joe Tangari wrote that Generation Terrorists "walked a weird line between agit-punk, cock rock, romantic melodicism and glam, and was so obviously patterned after The Clash's London Calling that it was actually kind of cute." Rolling Stone, AllMusic, PopMatters and Vanyaland labeled the album as "glam rock, hard rock, punk rock, glam punk and glam metal" respectively.

Paul David Humphreys (born 27 February 1960, London) is an English singer, songwriter and musician who is best known for his contributions to Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark (OMD), a new wave band which he founded alongside Andy McCluskey in 1978. John Doran in The Quietus remarked: "If, roughly speaking, McCluskey is the intellect and inquisitive nature in the group, then Humphreys is the heart." Humphreys provided synthesizer/keyboard work and vocals from the band's inception in 1978 until his 1989 departure, seven years before their dissolution, and returned for their 2006 reformation. Despite this period of absence, his songwriting contribution features on all of the group's studio albums, save for 1991's Sugar Tax.

During his six year sabbatical from solo recording Abbott focused on mix and remix work, a new more dancefloor-directed alias Earlham Mystics and a productive new sideline in film, with two solo soundtracks to his name to date. His "evocative, atmospheric synthscapes" for film The Goob went on to win Abbott the award for 'Best Music' at the Stockholm Film Festival, before being released under the title Music For A Flat Landscape. Abbott is also on third of Szun Waves alongside British saxophonist Jack Wyllie (Portico Quartet) and Australian drummer Laurence Pike (Triosk, PVT). Their second album New Hymn To Freedom was described by The Quietus as "a beautifully crafted, exploratory piece of work".

According to NME magazine's Emily Mackay, all of the songs deal with the consuming emotions associated with first love, including the tacit intimacy on "VCR", the yearning expressed on "Heart Skipped a Beat" and the premature affection warned of on "Crystalised". Petra Davis from The Quietus argues that the thematic crux of xx is in the succession of songs from "Islands" to "Shelter", each of which sees "a radical shift in perspective on a similar – perhaps a single – love story." The album's Roman numeral title refers to each of the band members having turned 20 years old by the time xx was released. Because of their age, many critics interpret the songs as nocturnal depictions of adolescent lust.

In an interview, saxophonist Shabaka Hutchings states that the music for Prophecy began out of jam sessions with Dan Leavers on synths and keys and Maxwell Hallett on drums. The band elaborate on this in an interview with The Quietus, saying how the music was composed in the studio whilst recording in a three-day session. They invited friends and guests into the studio, "referencing Parliament and Funkadelic and the way they recorded, with like a party going on in the studio". "Neon Baby" was initially released as a digital single accompanied by a music video featuring imagery from science fiction and B-movies, which can also be seen in the titles of the tracks on Prophecy.

The group's debut single, "Okay", was self-released on 19 September 2015, and premiered via FACT. Joseph 'JP' Patterson, senior editor of Complex UK, wrote of the song: "It's a bouncy number... somewhat jovial... there's now plenty of room for a group like this in the market." Reviewing the song for The Quietus, Tomas Fraser observed "how different their individual styles are; Lyrical Strally, quick-witted with clear, solid diction; Saint, skippy and fast-paced (if a little erratic at times) and PK, a loud, confident, reload-friendly MC with a reputation for turning raves upside down already under his belt." YGG's second single, "Don't Talk Like That" was self-released on 5 January 2016.

Stretched across the entire Without Mercy album, more became less." Other retrospective reviews have been favourbale, with Ned Raggett of AllMusic saying: "It's very self-consciously romantic (track and album are in fact named for Keats' noted poem La Belle Dame Sans Merci), but the combination of new and old instruments, plus the continuation of the unique Durutti sheen and shine in the recording quality, results in quietly touching heights." As with many other Durutti Column LPs, Reilly dislikes the album, once telling a writer for The Quietus that he jokingly calls it "Without Merit," and reflecting: "Without Mercy is a joke. [...] It was all Tony Wilson's idea to make it more classical.

This development dwindled with the commercialism of jazz in the 1980s, although Agharta remained a pivotal and influential record through the 1990s, especially on artists in the experimental rock genre.; It became one of the favorite albums for English musician Richard H. Kirk, who recalled playing it often while working at Chris Watson's loft during their early years in the band Cabaret Voltaire. "I can see how this album might have annoyed people but for me it was really nice grooves with improvisation and would open out and become more minimal", Kirk later told The Quietus. Along with On the Corner, it was also a major influence on the Beastie Boys' 1994 album Ill Communication.

" They performed at the Day for Night music festival in Houston, Texas which ran December 17–18, 2016. In an interview with The Quietus in March 2017, Leary talked about the group possibly making a new album, their first in 16 years: "We've all been busy with our own separate things, and I've done a lot of producing in the past few years, and I've got to the point now where I feel like I've done doing that for a while, so it's time to make a new Butthole Surfers album. Especially now that Trump is president, jeez! If there was ever a time for a Butthole Surfers album it's fucking now.

On the other hand, an article published by The Quietus magazine expressed concern that discussions about Hallyu as a form of soft power seems to bear a whiff of the "old Victorian fear of Yellow Peril". In August 2016, it was reported that China planned to ban Korean media broadcasts and K-pop idol promotions within the country in opposition to South Korea's defensive deployment of THAAD (Terminal High Altitude Area Defense) missiles. The reportage of these planned regulatory measures caused an immediate negative impact on shares in Korean talent agencies, although stock prices later recovered. On April 1, 2018, North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un watched a K-pop concert in Pyongyang.

It also showcases ideas of prosocial behavior and "blonde ambition". The lyrics welcome newcomers in the music industry, "I even hope at one point you take it farther than me", and speak of self-empowerment: "I shall never let 'em see me sweat / Promise to want for more until my very last breath / Promise to blaze a path and leave a trail for the next / And never sell out my soul for any number on a check". According to Lucy O'Brien of The Quietus, the lyrics portray Azalea as "the hardworking Aussie girl and the feminist goddess urging with messianic fervour". John Lucas of The Georgia Straight describes the song as a "bite-sized motivational seminar".

Networking in Purgatory is the third album by Australian folk-rock band Ned Collette + Wirewalker, released in 2014. Writing in The Quietus, reviewer Kate Hennessy praised the album as "very good, even exceptional". She described Collette's voice as "sibilant, astringent and at times vaguely waspish ... a voice that alchemises its flaws into powerful strengths, sitting neither above nor below the mix but slicing through it in both directions, reminiscent of the Brians (Eno and Ferry) and the Davids (Byrne and Bowie)". She noted of its lyrics that Collette's "bitterness runs cold and constant even beneath songs that, sonically, express a kind of genial largesse, a contradiction that is this record's most brilliant aspect".

On the Metacritic website, which aggregates various media and press reviews and assigns a normalised rating out of 100, More Arriving received a score of 87. The Quietus called the album "confrontational" and "musically far-reaching" and praised its "bursts of reggae wooziness, gnarled free-jazz atonality, and electronic noise". Supreme Standard called the album "biting and acerbic, funny and furious, and [featuring] some of its creator’s finest, most accessible compositions to date" and made it Album Of The Week upon its release.The Guardian praised the "Carnatic rhythms and lyrical dexterity" of the track "Mumbay", where "MC Mawali puns in Hindi on the colonial resonance of “Bombay” compared to the rightwing nationalism of “Mumbai”".

Jude Rogers of the BBC wrote "once you look past the bombast of "Sledgehammer", ... you notice how easily its artful ideas slipped inside the 80s mainstream". The Quietus Wyndham Wallace praised Sos sincerity and called it "a heartfelt journey through intense emotional territory, assembled and arranged with intricacy and commitment, laboured over with such care that it sounds effortless". Ryan Bray, writer for Consequence of Sound, concluded So was an "all-too-rare record that manages to have it both ways, earning its richly deserved critical and commercial respect without giving so much as an artistic inch". He added that "it still stands on its own two feet as one of the consensus best records of the 80s".

" Johnny Mugwamp of Fact considers the album to be "absolute fucking bedlam" and "the most important album of the 1990s." Writing for The Quietus in 2014, Ned Raggett said that "to me D. I. Go Pop is itself still fresh. And it IS fresh, a knotted twisted agglomeration of approaches from the time when post rock as a term made a certain sense, the idea that a kind of form had been perfected, so why not explode it?" He opined that Radiohead's 1997 album OK Computer was "a far more glossy take on what D. I. Go Pop was trying to articulate, far more glossy and far less specific, far more comfortable.

Christopherson had been the driving force behind the project and had been working on the record in Bangkok with Danny Hyde, even getting custom instruments made to use for the album. "It was Sleazy's project, then Cosey and Sleazy's, then I came in on it", Carter explained in an interview with The Quietus. After Christopherson died, the Desertshore instruments were given to Carter and Cosey, and they began combining the recordings he had been making with the work they had done themselves. They announced plans to debut the album live at AV Festival on 17 March 2012 accompanied by a screening of Philippe Garrel's film The Inner Scar "for which Desertshore was the soundtrack and inspiration".

It was mixed and mastered at London's Townhouse Studios. The Sound Defence Policy, presumably a pseudonym for Dangers, is credited for the album's production. Nix Lowrey The Quietus later noted how the material on Storm the Studio was rumoured to be the subsequent resurrection and "reshaping" of the material destroyed in the fire, although the band recreated what their debut album was supposed to have been like on their second album Armed Audio Warfare (1990), which takes its name from the proposed debut album and among its tracks includes alternate versions of several of the songs on Storm the Studio, some in the form of remixes and others in the form of unreleased original versions.

" Bob Waliszewski of Plugged In noted that the "bouncy" tune deal with "the end to a summer of love". Pop Rescue commented, "Again, the contrast and back-and-forth between René's gruff vocals and Lene's higher pitched dance 'eye-pee-eye-ay' vocals really help this track to keep it's up-tempo pace and catchiness. The track is fun, aided by the duo's vocal play and caricatures." Nick Reed from The Quietus noted the song as a stand out from the album, adding that "it's so effortlessly catchy, with all these little bouncy melody lines, an awesome call-and-response bit, and a chorus with an out-of-nowhere "Wake up now!" line that still makes me laugh today.

Though Quietus critic Mike Diver was critical of A Moon Shaped Pool, he praised "True Love Waits" as Radiohead's most affecting song since their 2008 single "Nude". Steve Jozef of the Phoenix New Times felt the new arrangement captured the best elements of Yorke's guitar and Rhodes piano performances, saving it from sentimentality, and was "the most straightforward, unpretentious, and emotionally raw composition on the album". GQ critic Jake Woolf, however, felt that the studio version was "a disappointment", with "mushy piano that weighs the song down emotionally ... the guitar version had a brightness that the studio version lacks". Several critics felt that having waited years for a studio version of the song made it more powerful.

In 2006, Niven was a founding member of the indie band Everything Everything, with friends from Queen Elizabeth High School and played guitar with the band between 2007 and 2009. In 2009, he left the band to study for a doctorate at St John's College, Oxford and to pursue a writing career. Formerly assistant editor at New Left Review and editor-in- chief at The Oxonian Review, Niven wrote for The Guardian, The Independent, openDemocracy, Agenda, The Cambridge Quarterly, English Literary History, Oxford Poetry, Notes and Queries, The Quietus, a number of collective blogs, in addition to his own blog The Fantastic Hope (2007-2017). As of 2017, he was Lecturer in English Literature at Newcastle University and an editor at Repeater Books.

Following the murder of Roman emperor Alexander Severus in 235, general after general squabbled over control of the empire, the frontiers were neglected and subjected to frequent raids by Carpians, Goths and Alemanni, in addition to outright attacks from the aggressive Sassanids in the east. Finally, Shapur I of Persia inflicted a disastrous defeat upon the Romans at the Battle of Edessa in 260, capturing the Roman emperor Valerian and soon, Quietus and Macrianus rebelled against Valerian's son Gallienus and usurped the imperial power in Syria. The Palmyrene leader Odaenathus was declared king, and remained nominally loyal to Gallienus, forming an army of Palmyrenes and Syrian peasants to attack Shapur. In 260, Odaenathus won a decisive victory over Shapur in a battle near the Euphrates.

Jazz Monroe of Drowned in Sound called the material "virtuosic and exquisite" while describing the lyrical content as "romantic but unglamorous … [and the band] take their time to reflect love's ambiguity". Monroe summarized: "While a gentler, more complex thing, [Warpaint] leans hard on atmosphere and collapses, elegantly". The Quietus writer Mof Gimmers referred to Warpaint as "a record spun with a rich synthetic ambience, resulting in a curious mixture of the pleasant and uneasy" and said that the songs "exude an intense, intoxicated arousal, with lip-fattening blood rushes, grotty cinematic witching-hour horniness and David Lynchian daydream fucks" in his positive review. AllMusic writer Heather Phares wrote that there was a "undeniably darker cast" to the album's songs in contrast to the band's previous releases.

On the Metacritic website, which aggregates reviews from critics and assigns a normalised rating out of 100, Melt Yourself Down received a score of 80, based on 1 mixed and 8 positive reviews. It was described as "The sound of Cairo ’57, Cologne ’72, New York ’78 and London 2013" and "[a] hectic and freewheeling duststorm of punk, funk, jazz and world music" by The Daily Telegraph, and "insanely full of energy and ideas, a tumultuous barrage of snaky, infectious hooks and punishingly addictive grooves" in a review by The Quietus. AllAboutJazz described the album as a "collection of songs that demands, and deserves, attention, respect, love and dancing in equal measure". The record came in at number 10 in Time Out's "40 Best Albums of 2014".

On 19 June 2014 Cope's first novel One Three One, subtitled "A Time-Shifting Gnostic Hooligan Road Novel", was published by Faber & Faber. Named for a Sardinian motorway, One Three One was well reviewed by The Guardian who wrote that "the musician's fiction debut is brilliant, serious, funny – and completely bonkers". Comedian Stewart Lee interviewed Cope for The Quietus and admits that "there were whole swathes of One Three One where I couldn't tell what was going on (or) which time stream we were in...but I didn't care". Cope writes about many fictional bands and musicians in the book and has recorded music in the guise of these characters, some of which he has released under the same fictional pseudonyms.

" PopMatters's Austin Price described the record as "a monolithic album, so massive and so black and often so much of a piece that to try to take it in at a glance or to distinguish certain elements seems either imposing or impossible." The Quietus' Dean Brown thought that the release "highlights the bleak force that these bands can channel and how impactful it is when united as one." Kelly Kim of Spin praised the album, stating: "Every note sounds instinctual, every moment fluid; this is what happens when good friends come together to watch the world burn." Nevertheless, Tiny Mix Tapes was more mixed in their review of the album, describing it as "a fucking heavy record, an absolute destroyer in fact.

Describing the album as Cathedral's "magnum opus", Phil Freeman wrote for Allmusic that The Guessing Game offered the "most psychedelic, progressive material in the band's entire catalog". Writing in The Guardian, Jamie Thomson praised the "fine balance between their monolithic guitar groove and a more heady blend of prog, folk, psychedelia and even the occasional burst of Bonzo Dog Band-style jazz whimsy...these sparkling sojourns to the outer fringes of 70s rock would cheer even the most jaded metaller. Doom has rarely sounded so joyous". Viewing The Guessing Game as embodying an "unprecedented level of indulgence", The Quietus' Noel Gardner suggested that it serves as "a landmark Cathedral release" and "an ideal starting point to ease a Cathedral ignoramus into the band's self-contained world".

They were asked to support The Horrors at the Shockwaves NME Awards 2008 at The London Astoria. Ulterior followed up their hype with the collectable EP entitled 15, a limited edition 12" vinyl released in three different colours: white, cream and neon orange. After having gained notoriety across Europe and the UK music scene for their live shows, "consistently playing some of the most intense gigs in the past couple of years" – The Quietus, and having also garnered attention from the gothic rock scene after touring throughout Europe with The Sisters of Mercy (9–23 March 2009), Ulterior released their follow-up single, a 10" double A side vinyl entitled "Sister Speed"/"Aporia". 2008 saw Januskevicius move onto bass guitar as the band's direction further evolved.

It was first taken by the Romans during Trajan's eastern campaigns, when general Lusius Quietus captured the city without a fight in the winter of 114;Cassius Dio, LXVIII.22. Although it was abandoned following the Roman withdrawal from Mesopotamia in 117, the city became once again part of the Roman Empire with the Parthian campaign of Septimius Severus in 197. The city was raised by Severus to the status of a Roman colony, as is attested by the legend found on some of the coins minted there during the reign of Gordian III: , which is Greek script for the city's Latin name, Aurelia Septimia Colonia Singara. It remained one of the easternmost outposts of the Roman Empire throughout the 3rd century.

Pitchfork writer Stuart Berman described them as indie rock, "a potent fusion of lurching post-hardcore and shimmering shoegaze" and "dystopian post-punk". Clash writer Sam Walker-Smart described their music as "mixing elements of garage rock, dream pop, and something wholly original".Walker-Smart, Sam (2019) "Dreams And Reflections: Trupa Trupa Interviewed", Clash, 4 July 2019.

Clementine is a spinto tenor. His voice has been described as warm and graceful, with a bright, full timbre, that ranges from approximately the C one octave below middle C (C3) to the D one octave above middle C (D5). Writing for The Quietus, Calum Bradbury-Sparvell described Clementine's voice as having the "expressive but exact enunciation of a stage actor, which allows his lyrics to spill and scatter out of sync with his hands in a way which warrants the endless Nina Simone comparisons." He went on to write: "Yet as an atypical singer-songwriter with a strong sense of grandeur, an impressively broad tenor range and more than a dash of dark humour, he also resembles Rufus Wainwright".

De Laet, review of Lepper, Trajan's Parthian War. L'Antiquité Classique, 18-2, 1949, pages 487–489 This newer, more "rational" frontier, depended, however, on an increased, permanent Roman presence east of the Euphrates.

It's an amazing place." Everything Entertainment Central's Tim David Harvey says: "The album begins with the beautiful fall of a song called 'Snowflake', before getting operatic, strange and even more sublime with 'Lake Tahoe' which is as deep and decedent as the place itself, it's that kind of picturesque music," and goes on to call the album "unique, concise, cohesive classic."EEC's review of 50 Words for Snow The Quietus' Joe Kennedy compares 50 Words for Snow to the work of such artists as Michael Nyman, Brian Eno and Scott Walker, writing "Snow brings about a state of exception in which there's no pressure to exert ourselves on the outside world: instead, it invites contemplativeness and the prioritisation of personal and domestic relationships over professional ones.

Sheldon Pearce of Pitchfork gave the album a 7.4 out of 10, calling it "[Milo's] most fascinating work to date, filling weird, side-winding productions that deflate and wheeze with tumbling lyricism delivered in near spoken word cadences." Gary Suarez of The Quietus wrote, "producer Kenny Segal leans towards jazz abstractions, full of billowy smoke instead of the more typical boom bap dust." It was ranked at number 26 on Rolling Stones "40 Best Rap Albums of 2015" list, as well as number 37 on Spins "50 Best Hip-Hop Albums of 2015" list. The New York Observer named it the 5th best hip-hop album of 2015, while The Boston Globe named it the 7th best hip-hop album of 2015.

Bloom, p. 194 Trajan was forced to withdraw his army in order to put down the revolts. He saw this withdrawal as simply a temporary setback, but he was destined never to command an army in the field again, turning his Eastern armies over to Lusius Quietus, who meanwhile had been made governor of Judaea and might have had to deal earlier with some kind of Jewish unrest in the province.A precise description of events in Judaea at the time being impossible, due to the non-historical character of the Jewish (rabbinic) sources, and the silence of the non-Jewish ones: William David Davies,Louis Finkelstein,Steven T.

In a retrospective review, The Quietus Nick Reed notes: "Nearly every instrument is mixed to the forefront; it's too well-arranged to be cacophonous, but there's a degree of sensory overload, especially given the band's newfound tendency to blast synthesizers in our faces. ... whether or not this album holds up for you depends on how much you like the band's boisterous side." It became the highest album they had in the charts since 1982's English Settlement, rising to number 28 in the UK and number 44 in the US. Additionally, it combined with Skylarking for the group's best-selling albums to date. "Mayor of Simpleton" reached number 46 in the UK and number 72 in the US, making it their only American single to chart.

"Message for You People" opens side one with a thud reminiscent of a blowing speaker or depth charge explosion, then a pulsing bassline followed by "drums and blistering guitar noise." According to Wyndham Wallace of The Quietus wrote that Dobsons' guitar in the song "forever redefines concepts of ‘industrial’ music." According to Trouser Press, "[t]he astonishing high-pressure racket of Let's Play Domination's opening salvo ("Message for You People") may send you rushing to the turntable to see if your stylus is accidentally gouging a hole in the platter." "Ghetto Queen" and "Blu Money", the latter featuring a refrain of "I blew money that I could've bought drugs with," have been described as "ghetto punk" in their musical style.

Simon Price of London's The Quietus spoke highly of "My Father's Song" and the three others Rupert-written tracks on Lazy Afternoon ("Lazy Afternoon", "Letters That Cross in the Mail", and "Widescreen"). His favoritism stemmed from the "collaborative spirit that you can hear between her and Rupie"; he also stated that working with Streisand changed Rupert's life and displayed that Streisand was "in her prime". "My Father's Song" did not enter the main charts in the United States and Canada, but rather the Adult Contemporary charts in both countries. In the United States, the single debuted on the aforementioned chart at number 40 for the week ending September 6, 1975, and was the week's second highest debut according to Billboard.

In a 2007 interview with Rolling Stone, ex-Guns N' Roses drummer Matt Sorum described his impressions of the unfinished songs: The album's first single, "The Day That Never Comes", was described by BBC Music as the closest thing to a ballad on the album. Rock Sound has also compared it to the likes of Thin Lizzy. The band has abandoned the solo-free approach that they followed on St. Anger, returning to complex, multi-layered arrangements such as those typically found on the band's fourth album ...And Justice for All.The Quietus – first listen to Metallica's new album Death Magnetic has been praised by fans as well as critics as a comeback for Metallica after the widely panned St. Anger.

Rather, she strings crisp and enigmatic fragments into enchanting collages." Moreland continued: "Birgy’s unapologetic commitment to her inner code. This is her reality, and sometimes it can be stranger—and certainly more poetic—than fiction" and concluded that "Even at its most inexplicable, there’s not a moment on Dolphine that feels careless." Diva Harris of The Quietus described Dolphine as a collection "of shimmering dirges which could just as easily soundtrack ancient woodland or the night sky as the deepest imaginable depths of the sea" and noted that the album's "whimsy" is accompanied by "grit and tough shit": "For all of Dolphines cuteness – every crying spider, wind chime, and faerie – there’s an equal and opposite: a trollish man touching a woman without consent, a steaming dirty nappy, another murder.

In a review for Resident Advisor, Andrew Ryce called Instrumentals "a collection of aching, blown-out paeans to wonder, sadness and profound joy—music that any of the above could fall in love with." Pitchfork critic Brandon Soderberg said Casino's "attention to hip-hop structure ... makes these beats so emotionally devastating." Rory Gibb from The Quietus felt that, without the rappers they were originally produced for, the instrumentals are "revealed as intricate enough to stand alone in their own right", while sounding "ephemeral and peculiarly of this moment, phantom aggregations of mood and sound that coalesce for brief periods of time before potentially disengaging at some undisclosed point in the future." Sputnikmusic's Conrad Tao felt that, although Instrumentals sounds occasionally conventional, Casino's approach to sampling is "refreshingly abstract".

ONA influence extends to some black metal bands such as Hvile I Kaos, who according to a report in the music section of LA Weekly, "attribute their purpose and themes to the philosophies of the Order of Nine Angles", although as of December 2018 the band is no longer involved with the ONA. The French band Aosoth is named after an O9A deity, and takes direct lyrical influence from the O9A. The album Intra NAOS by Italian band Altar of Perversion is named after the O9A essay NAOS: A Practical Guide to Modern Magick and showcases the band members' own path through the Numinous Way. Some music associated with the O9A has also been controversial; The Quietus published a series of articles during 2018 exploring the connections between far-right politics, music and the ONA.

"The Fall and Mark E Smith As A Narrative Lyric Writer". The Quietus, July 2010. Retrieved 27 January 2018 Some early songs concern one of his assumed alter-egos, though always from a third person point of view. Examples include Roman Totale XVII, "the bastard offspring of Charles I and the Great God Pan", who appears in "The N.W.R.A" (1980), the live album Totale's Turns, "2nd Dark Age" (one of the b-sides to the "Fiery Jack" single), and the sleeve credits for Dragnet, as well as the characters in "Fiery Jack" (1980), "Hip Priest" (1982), "The Man Whose Head Expanded" (1983), and "Riddler" (1986). Rare first person narratives include "Frenz" and "Carry Bag Man", both from 1988's The Frenz Experiment, as well as "Bill Is Dead" (1990) and "Edinburgh Man" (1991).

I.Y. folk album" with "a wide assortment of 1980s-style simple synths providing color for the sounds". Cope's song arrangements and production, according to AllMusic's Timothy Monger, "hover somewhere between the more lo-fi attempts of his later work and the mid-'90s grandeur of the mono-synth orchestrations he made with former collaborator Thighpaulsandra". Opening track "Hymn to the Odin" wouldn't have been out of place on Cope's 1994 album Autogeddon, according to Monger, "with its breezy acoustic guitar, Mellotron, and spoken- word verses referencing Anglo-Saxon deities, Waden Hill, and other megalithic sites in the U.K." Pete Redrup of The Quietus also thought that the song is reminiscent of Autogeddon, adding: "It sounds old, but new". Ged McAlea of SoundsXP called it "pastoral, romantic folk music.

The album was well received by music critics. Timothy Monger of AllMusic called it Cope's best work in years and said "His ongoing contempt of right-wing politics, his anti-religious stance, and his frequent references to Pagan gods could, in many cases, make for a pretty unpalatable listen, but somehow Cope pulls it off with humor and a kind of weirdo audacity that few can wield with any conviction." Uncut's David Cavanagh said that the album was among Cope's "finest recent work, equal parts mission statement and sonic eccentricity." Pete Redrup of The Quietus called it Cope's "most cohesive and enjoyable album since 1994's Autogeddon", while The New Yorker called the music "impressive", sounding like "a less polished version of My Nation Underground, with some vintage Who thrown into the mix".

Cady Siregar, writing for The Quietus compared their song to post-punk band, Fat White Family, describing the song as "highly politicised songwriting and their merry-go-round of raucous hedonism on and off stage has perhaps inevitably drawn comparisons with Fat White Family - and Shame are part of the south London scene that spawned Fat Whites. But they have also helped revive the good old ‘Is guitar music dead?’ debate; Shame are, undeniably and perhaps frustratingly, all white men and that tired old debate seems only to include bands of white men." John Norris, writing for Billboard praised the track for its exhilarating sound, and compared the track to Parquet Courts, Slint, The Clash, Beck, and Gang of Four. Norris said that the song has a "witty, melodic, fiery and addictive vibe".

Mennen, pg. 122 he was one of the imperial candidates for the office of Quaestor, followed by his nomination for the office of Praetor tutelarius, responsible for matters pertaining to guardianships. After this Postumius Quietus may have been the Legatus pro praetore in the province of Asia.Mennen, pg. 121 This was followed by his posting as Curator rei publicae Aeclanensium item Ocriculanorum (or guardian of the towns of Aeclanum and Ocriculum). Next, he was appointed Curator viae [...] et alimentorum (or official responsible for maintaining some important Roman roads and ensuring Rome’s food supply). He was the last known official who was responsible for the Alimenta, leading to speculation that the emperor Aurelian replaced the distribution of free grain to the citizens of the city with another form of dole.

The city had an extensive territory, as testified by inscriptions in Panchevo and Sladki Kladenci near Burgas.Soustal (1992), pp. 234–235 A bronze coin of Severus Alexander minted at Deultum Pliny the Elder makes reference to the city in his Naturalis Historia.Birley (1986), p. 210 In 82 AD, the population of Deultum petitioned Titus Avidius Quietus to become a patron of the city.Birley (1981), p. 85 Commemorative bronze coins were minted by Emperor Trajan to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the foundation of Deultum.Dikov (2015) Between 130 and 150 AD, the city suffered serious damage from barbarian attacks. By the end of the 2nd century and the beginning of the 3rd century, Deultum had an area of approximately 62 acres and there were temples dedicated to Asclepius and Cybele.

The Lone Taxidermist LP reached No. 9 in The Quietus top 100 albums of 2017. The Blancmange, Fader, Lone Taxidermist and I Speak Machine albums all made the Electronic Sound magazine best-albums- of-2017 list, reaching No. 8, 13, 21 and 23 respectively. As of 2018, Benge has recorded collaborative albums under the following names: Volume (with Richard Lee and Paul Elliott), Tennis (with Douglas Benford), Stendec (with Paul Merritt), Oblong (with Dave Nice and Sid Stronach), Wrangler (with Phil Winter of Tunng, and Stephen Mallinder), Fader (with Neil Arthur), Creep Show (with Wrangler and John Grant), as well as his continuing work with John Foxx as The Maths. His production and writing credits include Serafina Steer, The Magnetic North, Hannah Peel, Laura J Martin, Gazelle Twin, I Speak Machine, Lone Taxidermist and Blancmange.

" On 1 April 2012, The Quietus reported that The Vaccines would be releasing a split 7" single with R. Stevie Moore through O Genesis Records in aid of Record Store Day, with The Vaccines covering Moore's "Why Should I Love You?" and Moore tackling "Post Break-Up Sex". In July 2012, during another summer of playing festivals, the band released two free EPs—one is a live EP recorded in Brighton, UK, while the other is a collection of acoustic cover versions, entitled Please, Please Do Not Disturb. The cover version EP features renditions of ABBA, Wire, Nick Lowe and Jonathan Richman songs. Later that month, Cowan spoke about the band's plans to release a series of four singles with each band member writing and recording a B-side song.

Matthew Perpetua of Rolling Stone commented that, despite Del Rey being nervous and anxious while performing her songs live, she "sang with considerable confidence, though her transitions from husky, come-hither sexuality to bratty, girlish petulance could be rather jarring". Del Rey also performed "Video Games" on Dutch television program De Wereld Draait Door, on British music television show Later... with Jools Holland, and on a show at Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles, California. Del Rey also gave several interviews for newspapers and online magazines such as The Quietus, The Observer, and Pitchfork, while creating her own music videos for several tracks such as "Blue Jeans" and "Off to the Races". On January 14, 2012, Del Rey appeared on Saturday Night Live to perform "Blue Jeans" and "Video Games".

"Devil Pray" has been described as a "moody mid-tempo semi-acoustic pop", techno-folk, "lite-EDM" and "acoustic guitar-with-electro-cowboy" song with a "woozy" house beat about overcoming addiction, with a more "country-tinged" and "folksy" style in comparison to other tracks on the album. Critics found similarities between the song and Madonna's own single "Don't Tell Me" (2000) for its "country-pop elements" and the traditional folk song "The House of the Rising Sun", due to its "bluesy-vibe". "Devil Pray" brings Madonna "as a devoted disciple, drawn to a darker kind of prayer", as noted by The Quietus Amy Pettifer, and its story deals with sin, temptation and deliverance. The song starts with hand claps and guitar, "whose country edge is [...] characteristic of Swedish producer Avicii's own output", claimed Pettifer.

The composer reused the parts of his unused score for The Bible: In the Beginning in such films as The Return of Ringo (1965) by Duccio Tessari and Alberto Negrin's The Secret of the Sahara (1987). Morricone never left Rome to compose his music and never learned to speak English. But given that the composer always worked in a wide field of composition genres, from "absolute music", which he always produced, to "applied music", working as orchestrator as well as conductor in the recording field, and then as a composer for theatre, radio, and cinema, the impression arises that he never really cared that much about his standing in the eyes of Hollywood.Ennio Morricone Interviewed: John Doran, "Compared To Bach, I'm Practically Unemployed", Quietus interview, 8 April 2010.

The chronology of subsequent events is uncertain, but it is generally believed that early in 115 Trajan launched a Mesopotamian campaign, marching down towards the Taurus mountains in order to consolidate territory between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. He placed permanent garrisons along the way to secure the territory. While Trajan moved from west to east, Lusius Quietus moved with his army from the Caspian Sea towards the west, both armies performing a successful pincer movement, whose apparent result was to establish a Roman presence into the Parthian Empire proper, with Trajan taking the northern Mesopotamian cities of Nisibis and Batnae and organizing a province of Mesopotamia, including the Kingdom of Osrhoenewhere King AbgarosVII submitted to Trajan publiclyMaurice Sartre,The Middle East Under Rome. Harvard University Press, 2005, , p. 146\.

In a 2014 interview, he clarified that the percussive additions of Mantia and Parsons brought "something amazing" to Godflesh, but that the band's name should have changed so as to not dilute the original focus on machine drums. A handful of other musicians (namely, Mick Harris in 1991; Diarmuid Dalton in 1997, 1999 and 2001; Steve Hough in 1997 and 1999 and both Paul Raven and Jaz Coleman of Killing Joke in 2002) have briefly performed with Godflesh. The band's stage show is, like their music, minimal and focused. Godflesh only occasionally employ a smoke machine, and the lights are generally static; Toby Cook of The Quietus highlighted this unusual approach in a review of a 2014 concert, writing, "Over-lit and with no dry ice in sight, they look alarmingly exposed".

Jason Pettigrew of Alternative Press called the song a "layered head-shock", and O'Connell wrote that the song "is all rough, rutting rhythm with a post- coital shudder fit to shift tectonic plates". The title track (named one of the five best Godflesh songs by Decibel) is built around a rhythm sample from "Let the Rhythm Hit 'Em" (1990) by Eric B. & Rakim, and "Monotremata" is an exceptionally slow nine-minute song with a degree of heaviness that is, according to Noel Gardner of The Quietus, "distinctive and inimitable". In 2014, MetalSucks singled out "Monotremata" as a "classic". The album's seventh song, "Baby Blue Eyes", features a stilted dance groove, and it is followed by "Don't Bring Me Flowers", a bleak, funereal song that was deconstructed (or "demixed" as the liner notes put it) on Godflesh's 1994 EP Merciless.

Mick Middles from The Quietus appraised it as "the joyful sound of a rampant artist, unrestrained by expectation or commercialism", with free- flowing music that escapes the boundaries his previous albums had merely pushed. Ben Thompson, in The Observer, believed the diverse range of samples make it "a crate-digger's wet dream" and "a thrillingly accessible demonstration of hip-hop's limitless creative possibilities" to a layperson. Writing for MSN Music, Christgau felt the songs are "devoid of hooks but full of sounds you want to hear again", along with "thoughtfully slurred" yet intelligible lyrics by Mos Def, whose creative vision warrants the introductory Malcolm X sample. In the opinion of Times Josh Tyrangiel, his political meditations may not appeal to conservatives but are rich in "the rhythm, exuberance and wit Mos Def showed on his early records".

" Preezy of XXL said, "HNDRXX is a reminder that no matter how hard he tries to shun his reputation as a hitmaker, Future remains one of the most reliable acts in mainstream music, his reluctance aside." Michael Madden of Consequence of Sound said, "While his most definitive project remains 2015's Dirty Sprite 2 for its balance of Future's innate melodic sense and especially effective trap records, HNDRXX comes in as a close second." Kristian Brito of The Quietus said, "It's the slickest, spaciest project he's released since Honest (which was always underrated), and sits far left of the trap rigor mortis of the self-titled record." Mosi Reeves of Rolling Stone said, "Like its predecessor, it's an hour-plus data dump of quotidian creativity with a slight thematic focus, not a tightly sequenced tour de force.

Children at least as young as 13 have been groomed by the group. The author of Iron Gates, Ryan Fleming of Yorkshire-based O9A nexion Drakon Covenant is currently in prison for the rape of a 14-year-old girl, after already having been convicted of sexual assault and torture of a minor."Beyond the Iron Gates: How Nazi- Satanists Infiltrated the UK Underground", The Quietus, November 27, 2018 O9A member Andrew Dymock, who stands accused of 15 terror offenses, has also been questioned by the police regarding the sexual assault of a teenage girl who had nazi and occult symbols carved on her body. In July 2020, another O9A member Jacek Tchorzewski was convicted by Harrow Crown Court for terror offences and for possessing over 500 pictures and videos depicting children as young as six being raped and necrophilia.

Besides reggae, the band also incorporated dance music. Sly Dunbar said, "We loved dance music, we'd listen to everything, because we were always working and wanting the reggae we did to move a bit forward, so anything that we could drag to it, we would bring that – as ideas, or as musicians coming to play with us." Ditching the camp quality of Jones' previous work, Blackwell realised new forms around the likes of The Pretenders' "Private Life", Roxy Music's "Love Is the Drug" and The Normal's "Warm Leatherette"; Ian Wade of The Quietus writes: "Nightclubbing was where all these ideas coalesced into perfection." The band Blackwell assembled later became known as the "Compass Point Allstars", taking up residency in the Bahamian studio and animating hits by Tom Tom Club, Robert Palmer, Joe Cocker and Gwen Guthrie, among others.

As a writer, he has written for publications including The Guardian and the Financial Times. O'Dair is a regular studio guest on The Freakzone (BBC 6 Music) with Stuart Maconie, and in 2015 recorded an essay about swimming in the Lake District for BBC Radio 3. Along with the songwriter Andrew Phillips, O'Dair is one half of Grasscut, who have previously released two albums on Ninja Tune (1 Inch: 1/2 Mile and Unearth) and a third on Lo Recordings, 2015's Everyone Was A Bird. The band have been described as building their reputation on "writing about situations and places, rather than standard pop songs", with The Quietus reviewing Everyone Was A Bird as "that rare slab of post-rock that uses the genre's textures and general ethos of exploration to create new sounds instead of rehashing old ones".

" In his article on the Moog for the same magazine, in 1997, John McCready wrote that the album conveyed "caveman confusion" on Harrison's part, but he grouped it with experimental releases by Jean-Jacques Perrey, Dick Hyman, the Hellers, Mort Garson and TONTO's Expanding Head Band, saying: "It says something about the compelling-even-when-crap nature of the Moog that it is possible to own and enjoy all these records." Available at Rock's Backpages (subscription required). Luke Turner of The Quietus includes it among his favourite electronic-music albums. He says that Harrison's fascination with the Moog typified the interest the new instrument received from top rock musicians at the time, and he adds: "Luckily for us he decided to release it (with a great cover painting by a small child) … While my Synth gently beeps.

" In Creem magazine's annual poll, readers voted News of the World as the 19th best album of 1977. BBC Music's Daryl Easlea said that the album is an exceptional showcase of "Queen's unerring ability to sound absolutely like no-other group – even when parodying other musical styles". Greg Kot of the Chicago Tribune observed that Queen had "ventured deeper into stadium rock", while Brendan Schroer of Sputnikmusic also noted the relation to stadium rock, calling it "the great arena rock wonder" with very few flaws. The 40th anniversary release prompted several more reviews, with David Chiu of The Quietus calling it "a work that had swagger and attitude," while Loudersound wrote that "Despite damping down their instincts so punks wouldn’t spit at them, they still sound like flamboyance has burst through the wall, riding a Harley and wearing a tiara.

Its musical structure features the "stream-of-consciousness" song transition of The-Dream's debut album Love/Hate. Alex Macpherson of The Quietus characterizes the album as "a palindromic song cycle of seduction, rejection, recrimination and ultimately – maybe – validation", writing that "as on Love/Hate, the tension between the character The-Dream likes to project – the cocky, preening, slightly lecherous lothario – and the reality of who he is – a slightly bug-eyed chump – proves fruitful." Macpherson views the album's centrepiece, its two title tracks, as a "stürm und drang" turning point for The-Dream's character, in which he mulls over a disastrous relationship. Jordan Sargent, critic for PopMatters, mused on The-Dream's approach to composition: The Washington Posts Allison Stewart writes that the album "cribs heavily from vintage R. Kelly in the same way its predecessor,... Love Hate, borrowed from Purple Rain-era Prince".

216 Later in 116, Trajan, with the assistance of Quietus and two other legates, Marcus Erucius Clarus and Tiberius Julius Alexander Julianus,The last two were made consuls (suffecti) for the year 117 defeated a Parthian army in a battle where Sanatruces was killed. After re-taking and burning Seleucia, Trajan then formally deposed the Parthian king Osroes I and put his own puppet ruler Parthamaspates on the throne. This event was commemorated in a coin so as to be presented as the reduction of Parthia to client kingdom status: REX PARTHIS DATUS, "a king is given to the Parthians". That done, Trajan retreated north in order to retain what he could of the new provinces of Armeniawhere he had already accepted an armistice in exchange for surrendering part of the territory to Sanatruces' son Vologeses and Mesopotamia.

" Stuart Berman of Pitchfork stated: "Suuns and Jerusalem in My Heart does leave you wondering what more the two entities could have accomplished had they worked on this for more than a week." Joe Banks of The Quietus commented: Suuns And Jerusalem In My Heart is more than just a stopgap or indulgence, and with those first three tracks in particular, it pulls off a convincing and vital meld of contrasting cultural and sonic palettes. Banks further added: "And if not all of these experiments work, it's nevertheless proof once again of the myriad musical possibilities out there in the world just waiting to be brought into existence." The New York Times John Pareles wrote: "Whether they are paced by programmed beats, guitars or both, and whether they lean toward rock, techno or vintage electronic Minimalism, the tracks are headed somewhere urgent.

During this time he was approached by Braide, known for his work with pop artists such as Lana Del Rey, David Guetta and Britney Spears, who urged Almond to make "the ultimate Marc Almond album" Braide was a longtime fan of Almond and had in fact worked with Almond before, unbeknownst at that point to the singer. Almond explained the situation to Simon Price of The Quietus, stating "it was only afterwards that I realised where I knew Chris Braide from: he'd sung backing vocals on the Soft Cell reunion album Cruelty Without Beauty, and I'd passed him in the corridor". Braide lured Almond back into songwriting by sending him three instrumental tracks, "hoping to change his mind about retirement", a plan that worked when "all three were met with resounding enthusiasm". They continued to work in this manner until the album was completed.

Longtime Nick Cave associate Mick Harvey would later report that Thirlwell's time in the band was cut short, in part, by a clash between Thirlwell's highly structured studio routine as contrasted with Cave's at-the-time habit of "shambling through it" while recording.Daniel Dylan Wray (2014) If This Is Heaven I'm Bailing Out: The Death Of The Birthday Party , The Quietus, accessed 05 Jan 2017 Thirlwell released his first 7" single, OKFM/Spite Your Face, in 1981, on his own Self- Immolation record label in his first incarnation as Foetus. Over the next few years, he would release two more singles, a 12" EP, and four full-length albums, Deaf, Ache, Hole and Nail (Some Bizzare Records) . After visiting the United States during a live stint with the Immaculate Consumptive (Lydia Lunch, Nick Cave and Marc Almond) Thirlwell settled in New York City, where he is still based.

Quietus at Winchester Cathedral, 2013 Julian Stair (born 1955 in Bristol) is an English potter, academic and writer. He makes groups of work using a variety of materials, from fine glazed porcelain to coarse engineering brick clays. His work ranges in scale from hand-sized cups and teapots to monumental jars at over 6 feet tall and weighing half a ton. Stair has exhibited internationally over the last 30 years and has work in thirty public collections including the Victoria & Albert Museum, British Museum, American Museum of Art & Design, Hong Kong Museum of Art, Boymans Museum, Netherlands, Mashiko Museum of Ceramic Art, Japan, Kolumba Museum, Cologne, Germany and Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, UK. In 2004 he was awarded the European Achievement Award by the World Crafts Council for the project Extended Inhumation, and received a Queen Elizabeth Scholarship to research the making of monumental ceramics at Wienerberger's brick factory in Sedgley.

According to a Music Times contributor, the lyrics represent how Drake's music often focuses on emotional subject matters. Michelle lists Drake's positive attributes, singing he would "always be the same" and "play no games" and would not lie or make her cry; Feeney compares the rhyme scheme for these lyrics to the writing style of Dr. Seuss. The album's final three songs ("Build a Man", "Drake Would Love Me", and "God I Get It") are interpreted by critics as forming a story on Michelle's ideas on love. Describing the songs as Michelle's attempt to "reconcile her need to love hard with the reality of the men she encountered", The Quietus writer Alex Macpherson says she turns to Frankenstein and fan fiction for answers on love in "Build a Man" and "Drake Would Love Me" before accepting her own flaws in "God I Get It".

One Thousand Years of Trouble showcases the band's "crush collision" musical hybrid, combining crunchy but clipped guitar power chords, grumbling bass, blaring drumming, house beats, samples and even gospel choirs. Stewart Mason of AllMusic feels the album's sound is characterised by the prominence of the noisy guitars, pounding drum rhythms, wayward samples and loops and Elvidge's hoarse, shouted singing, which he felt recalls "the group's Leeds forebears the Mekons and Gang of Four," while Mark Emsley of The Quietus described the album as "35 minutes of samples, noise, guitars, northern grit and sarcasm." The record blends influences of earlier experiments with Motown sound-inspired beats, cut-and-paste sampling techniques, post-punk groups like The Fall, The Pop Group and The Fire Engines and fusions of hip hop and pop music. Elvidge's lyrics on the album are harsh in their critique of the Margaret Thatcher–Ronald Reagan era and American militarism.

" Despite saying that "at just over an hour, The Russian Wilds is too long", The Quietus Barnaby Smith found that the album was "a marked step forward in Miller's songwriting" and found it to be "overall, a cascading and rewarding listen." Reviewer Aaron Leitko of Pitchfork Media noted that while The Russian Wilds "has all the tropes of a record-as-game-changer-- it's moody and duende-soaked, meticulously crafted, and sprawling in its ambition", the album "strives for timelessness, but sounds temporally adrift", adding that "The Russian Wilds main failing, though, is that, in comparison to the band's concerts, it feels flat." Rolling Stone David Fricke was more complementary, finding that the album's classic rock influences "are propelled with bracing studio clarity and hot-live gig immediacy" and saying that "the inspirations and pot-dream idealism may be retro; the zeal and momentum are not.

" David Morris of Tiny Mix Tapes said that although the album is "conceptually daring" and a showcase for Lil B's "poetic, philosophical streak", he called the musical backing "utter garbage" and "pure, unstructured noodling". Morris blamed what he saw as a misguided effort to be "left-field and trendy" on Lil B's internet hype and coverage in the indie rock press. The Quietus praised the album as "baffling, flawed but utterly engrossing", and said Lil B's flow is "more measured but no less dexterous than his contemporaries, and the pace of his eloquent, brooding verses lend themselves well to the alien, frosted glass synth sounds and syrupy electronics that form the majority of the backing tracks here. Rain In England comes across like the work of some rap savant, a man whose inner filter has been disabled, creating something which may polarise but which is, at least, utterly distinctive.

The album received positive reviews, with an aggregated Metacritic rating of 79/100, which the website characterised as "generally favourable reviews". It made several year-end lists of the best albums of 2016, including #29 on BrooklynVegan, #35 on Mojo, and #84 on Under the Radar, and was included in The A.V. Club's "best music of 2016 so far" article on July 29, 2016. Bill Pearis of BrooklynVegan named Commontime his favourite album of 2016 and called it Field Music's best album to date: "Their musicianship and skills as producers and arrangers have always been exceptional; here, however, there is an excitement, a playfulness, a connection we haven’t felt from Field Music before." The Quietus writer John Freeman also said Commontime might be his favourite Field Music album yet, called "The Morning Is Waiting For You" "possibly Field Music’s most beautiful song to date".

" The Quietus said Yasuda's songs are "equivalent to playing Twister in order to lose, turning in on themselves the very game-logics of popular sounds and structures." Yasuda quickly followed that release with a second album, Yo-Yo Blue, on the Field Hymns cassette-only label in 2013. Though the album was limited to 100 physical copies, Yo-Yo Blue was also released digitally via Bandcamp. Field Hymns described the album to a "thumbed-through flip book of vaporous, hazy memories...replete with childhood recitals, fragments of half-remembered stanzas and sumptuous j-pop interludes." Cassette Love said the mostly instrumental album "has the mood of a dream, floating above and observing a variety of scenes; detached, yet focused" and singled out the vocal performances on “ちょ-ちょ (with Nico)” and “Falling Slowly” as "worthy of being featured on a single all by themselves.

Showcased at the festival to attract investor interest in the film project, the performance at the John Anson Ford Amphitheatre featured Maddin reading stage directions from the film's screenplay. In 2017, the Mael Brothers said they had discussed developing the musical as an animated feature film with director Joseph Wallace, who created the music video for their track "Edith Piaf (Said It Better Than Me)". Russell Mael mentioned the idea again in a 2020 The Quietus interview, saying that the puppet animation format might be very beautiful and lend itself to portraying the story's fantastical, action-based finale. He added that working with the narrative format of The Seduction of Ingmar Bergman had led them to write the Annette musical, which by then had turned into an actual film directed by Leos Carax, starring Adam Driver and Marion Cotillard – a development Sparks were very happy about.

Zeth Lundy of The Boston Phoenix said it "has been deified by such dubious tastemakers as the NME and Oasis's Noel Gallagher — and the rest of us really like it too". PopMatters critic Jennifer Makowsky argued that "the psychedelic, drug-powered pop songs on the album earned the band a well-earned place in alternative music history." American music journalist Jim DeRogatis felt The Stone Roses had been highly overrated by critics, pointing to a "lame retread disco beat" and "oh-so-dated chiming guitars", while Neil Kulkarni from The Quietus said its first three songs were enjoyable but preceded a "right barrel-load of shite afterwards". In an article on overhyped records for The Guardian, Peter Robinson said that The Stone Roses was "an average rock album – lyrically pedestrian and with a sonic policy swerving from the play-safe to the over-indulgent".

" Consequence of Sound's Adam Kivel also praises the album's ability to stimulate as well as be background music, stating it "holds up to close listening and background work alike, providing material for deep thinking just as well as the scene in which a character thinks deeply." Slates Geeta Dayal praised the music's versatility, saying that it was "music for sleeping or waking," but Mark Lore of Paste explains that without the visuals to accompany the music, Lux "meanders while the listener potentially zones in and out." Andy Beta of Spin gave the album seven out of ten, commenting that "the whole thing is pretty, if a bit mild" and compares it to the 1985 album Thursday Afternoon. Lee Arizuno of The Quietus shared the same comparison and called this his most successful ambient work, saying that it "is a surprisingly rich experience that's difficult to fault.

" The Guardian writer Lanre Bakare praised the evolution of "Present Tense" from Yorke's earlier "sketchy guitar number" to "beautifully wrought, bossa nova- tinged ballad". Mike Diver of the Quietus, however, felt the older songs created the unwelcome feeling of a compilation album, writing: "Certain tracks feel less than fully fleshed out, really given the treatment that their age warrants ... There's simply so little spark here, barely glowing embers and blackened dust where once Radiohead blazed a fascinating, furious trail for others to attempt to follow." Jamie Milton of DIY felt that A Moon Shaped Pool needed "another breakneck force shock to the system" similar to "Ful Stop", and that it contained unnecessary elements, such as the "over-tinkering echo" of "Present Tense" and the "jagged closing section" of "Decks Dark". Nonetheless, he concluded: "These are gorgeous, human, complete works – some of the best of [Radiohead's] remarkable career.

Rosie Cuckston, Matt Eaton and Andy Weir grew up together as schoolmates in Harrogate, North Yorkshire. In the late 1980s Cuckston and Eaton moved to Birmingham, where Cuckston met Shropshire-born Samantha "Sam" Owen by chance (at a local supermarket's Singles Night). Weir had moved to London to study art, but kept in touch: in the meantime, Cuckston and Eaton played together in bands and got as far as recording in commercial studios, but Eaton would later recall that "the process didn’t lend itself to diversity and experimentation.""A New Nineties: Part Four: Why Pram Wrote The Best Album Of The Nineties" - article in The Quietus by Neil Kulkarni, 22 December 2011 In 1988, Weir reunited with the other three and they began playing music together in Birmingham under the temporary name Hole (at that point, performing solely with vocals and a homemade theremin).

Quiet Life has been described as one of the first albums released during the New Romantic era, though the band themselves always refuted they had any connection or involvement with the New Romantic movement. In a retrospective review of the band's work, The Quietus characterised the album as defining "a very European form of detached, sexually-ambiguous and thoughtful art-pop, one not too dissimilar to what the ever-prescient David Bowie had delivered two years earlier with Low". The album is notable for being the first album where singer David Sylvian used his newfound baritone vocal style, which became one of the band's most distinctive hallmarks. Lyrically the title track refer to problems the band was going thorough at the time, having lost their US record contract and the lack of commercial success in the UK. It has been suggested that the rest of the songs is a travelogue relating to impressions the band had gained from touring the world.

Aye all: > No, to sleep, to dream, aye marry there it goes, > For in that dream of death, when we awake, > And borne before an everlasting Judge, > From whence no passenger ever returned, > The undiscovered country, at whose sight > The happy smile, and the accursed damn'd. > But for this, the joyful hope of this, > Who'd bear the scorns and flattery of the world, > Scorned by the right rich, the rich cursed of the poor? > The widow being oppressed, the orphan wrong'd, > The taste of hunger, or a tyrants reign, > And thousand more calamities besides, > To grunt and sweat under this weary life, > When that he may his full Quietus make, > With a bare bodkin, who would this endure, > But for a hope of something after death? > Which puzzles the brain, and doth confound the sense, > Which makes us rather bear those evils we have, > Than fly to others that we know not of.

That's not to say it's not intense or pensive in its own right; Cave is a master of phrasing and knows how to enhance the suspense and drama in his carefully written lyrics", rating Live from KCRW eight out of ten. Kitty Empire of The Observer wrote that the album "isn't some rip-snorting gallop through perdition, setting Grinch-ish fire to fir trees … it's a classy, dialled-down performance". Awarding the album three out of five stars, Empire selected "Higgs Boson Blues" as Live from KCRWs highlight, referring to it as "a meditation on matters temporal" and "even more spacious here than on [Push the Sky Away]." A positive review in The Quietus, penned by Julian Marszalek, noted that Live from KCRW "is a fine declaration of where the Bad Seeds are in the here and now … they sound as comfortable in their music as they do the fine suits they wear.

" Writing for The Quietus, Simon Price described the album as "bona fide, solid-as-granite masterpiece", stating: "Futurology is more than just that version of the Manics, and one of those albums." Sputnikmusic staff reviewer Joseph Viney stated that the album "wraps up the ideals of what has come before it, mixed it with their present experience and forged ahead with songs that demonstrate a group with a lot more life in them yet." MusicOMH awarded the album four out of five stars, saying that "[...] Futurology is full of glam-pop hits that demonstrate the Preachers' ability to write good songs with a distinct sense of Britishness", finishing with: "Futurology is a welcome return by Manic Street Preachers to the forefront of pop, featuring no lack of technical prowess or instrumental capabilities. Every track is quite full of life and holds no lack of energy that characterizes good, classic British rock 'n' roll.

This is a landmark case in Ireland, with the profound implication as stated by Osborough (1976): "The immunity of the State in tort had been given its quietus" and the concerns of the judge in the High Court about the risks of Ministers and their servants being held liable for errors indicates how significant the subsequent ruling in the Supreme Court was. Judicial acts would seem to be protected with immunity by common law rules and the constitution. The judgment in Byrne v Ireland and the Attorney General also reinforced and extended the existing tortious liability of the State relating to road accidents caused by agents of the state in publicly owned vehicles in the Civil Liability Act (1961). The historical context of the landmark decision is captured in Binchy's (2016) characterisation of it as marking the emerging nature of the Irish state as a servant of its people rather than a repository of sovereign rights and immunity inherent in the Crown.

Christian Hopwood of BBC Music praised the lyricism and noted that it was "hard to imagine any MC from the West Side issuing forth... [such] lactose truth[s]", whilst AllMusic's John Bush lauded it as "the best British rap single since Tricky's "Aftermath"" (1994). Nin Chan of RapReviews cited its backing track as an example of the "absolutely sterling" production found on Run Come Save Me, and claimed that it would "incite bouts of hip-shaking on any dancefloor". In a retrospective review, Robin Howells of The Quietus described the song as a "manifestation of UK hip-hop's anxieties about identity (mainly in relation to US rap) by proxy" since the impact of British grime musicians in popular culture had made it "easy to take Britishness – and more specific local identity – as a given". Colin McKean, writing for the same publication, felt that the song was "so colossal it would always overshadow the album that bore it, no matter how good the album was".

Beginning with 2012's England Without Rain, Talk Less Say More's "three birds" trilogy represented a stylistic evolution and an expanded musical palette. The "three birds trilogy" were intended to be an attempt at making pop music that was perhaps reminiscent of the spirit of art-pop of the 1970s and 80s but in the present day with present-day instrumentation: deliberately mainstream, wholly embracing mainstream influences while attempting stylistic and lyrical experimentalism. The name "three birds" refers to the British birds depicted on the front covers of the records. The Quietus commented that England Without Rain "does for homemade electro-pop what Heston Blumenthal once did for the menu at a Little Chef off the A303 near Basingstoke: tarts it up good and proper with a combination of modern technological wizardry and impeccable taste" adding that "England Without Rain is an album with such a surfeit of ideas and imagination that one almost feels that it's not really fair".

A number of outlets, including music magazine The Quietus reported about or engaged in speculation by fans or music scholars interested in Scottish electronic music duo Boards of Canada that the title and sound of their fourth studio album, Tomorrow's Harvest (2013), was inspired by Deadly Harvest, noting that "this idea seems to be reflected by the song titles", in particular "Cold Earth", "Sick Times" and "New Seeds", and that "the album sleeve and the overall mood of the record" were thematically similar. > The album's dominant themes, environmental collapse and the degradation and > decay of the landscape, ﬁt closely with a strain of genre cinema from the > 1970s and 1980s. Most signiﬁcant perhaps ... Deadly Harvest released on VHS, > an eco-thriller about dwindling resources that features an eerie synth score > by John Mills-Cockell. Erwann Perchoc suggests Mills-Cockell's score anticipates both the sound of the duo and common themes such as agricultural revolt and the end of the world.

Based on internet traffic data for Radiohead's website taken from Alexa Internet, The Guardians Chris Salmon believed that if the single had been released conventionally it would have likely entered the UK Singles Chart top ten. The song's unconventional release, carried out "in classic Radiohead fashion" according to Mehan Jayasuriya of PopMatters, was praised by The Guardians John Harris: "Welcome, once again, to the future of popular music: no need for albums, or marketing campaigns, or grand announcements—just a song by Radiohead, recorded mere weeks ago, premiered on yesterday's Today programme, and now available to download." Caleb Garning of Wired noted the song's "abrupt creation" and the sudden announcement of their album The King of Limbs as part of Radiohead's move towards an unpredictable release schedule for new recorded material. In a feature for The Quietus, Wyndham Wallace argued that the track's release is in line with broader music industry trends towards "instant gratification", initiated by the digital release of Radiohead's previous album In Rainbows (2007).

Marcus Hamblett is a British musician and producer. Music from his solo album, Concrete, has been played on BBC Radio 3's Late Junction shows by Mara Carlyle, Nick Luscombe and Max Reinhardt and on BBC 6 Music by Tom Robinson. The Quietus said his album, "could be called post-rock if it didn't also sound pre-rock, or maybe as if rock had never happened and folk, modern jazz and the classical avant-garde had merged into a stream of hip, innovative music to soundtrack the changes and discontents of the second half of the twentieth century instead, and Joe Meek had dug John Cage." He is also a session musician, receiving credit for playing a variety of instruments (double bass, synthesizers, guitar, trumpet etc.) on albums by the likes of Laura Marling, The Staves, Lucy Rose, Villagers, Fear of Men, Peggy Sue, Bear's Den, Woodpecker Wooliams, Rachael Dadd, Landshapes and Rozi Plain.

According to writers Sean Sennett and Simon Groth, the Stone Roses "virtually invented 'Madchester' and built a template for Brit-pop" with their debut album. The record has been associated with rave culture and dance music, although Angus Batey from The Quietus argued that it was a 1960s-inspired jangle pop album featuring little or no influence of dance beats or grooves, with the exception of "Fools Gold". According to Stephen Thomas Erlewine, the rhythm section of bassist Mani and drummer Reni played in a manner that was merely suggestive of dance rhythms, while Ian Brown dispassionately sang lyrics expressing arrogant sentiments such as "I Wanna Be Adored" and "I Am the Resurrection". In the opinion of Spin critic Andrew Unterberger, it sounded more like "an exercise in rock classicism", featuring accessible melodies like those of the Beatles and resonant guitars similar to the Byrds, along with "the cheeky (and quintessentially British) humor of the Smiths" and "the self-fulfilling arrogance of the Sex Pistols".

Music journalist and author Jerry Ewing described the album as displaying a "proggy art rock tendency". Daniel Ross of The Quietus described it as "the exact intersection" between the band's "murky, metallic beginnings" and "the absolute pop perfection incarnation of Queen, leather trousers and Formby pastiches." Rather than the conventional Side A and Side B, the album was split into "Side White" and "Side Black", dominated by May and Mercury compositions respectively. Although some have interpreted it as a concept album, Queen biographer Georg Purvis stated that it is "not a concept album but a collection of songs with a loose theme running throughout." Mercury later confirmed this in a 1976 Sounds interview, citing that “it just evolved to where there was a batch of songs that could be considered aggressive, or a Black Side, and there was a smoother side.” The "White" side is very diverse: four of the five numbers were composed by Brian May, one of which is an instrumental.

Expanding on the 1950s rock 'n' roll influences of The Jim Jones Revue, The Righteous Mind has a darker, more cinematic sound incorporating psychedelia, country, blues and gospel, garnering favourable comparisons to Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, Tom Waits and The Stooges. Comparing the two bands, The Quietus wrote that '...while the Jim Jones Revue swan-dived into rock & roll’s primordial ooze with an unrestrained sense of glee and abandon, Jim Jones And The Righteous Mind is an exercise in intensity, dynamics and space that, while summoning up the feral excitement of the former outfit, delivers a satisfying and continuingly intriguing payload from a great height. This is less a case of being steamrollered and more of exploration, experimentation and execution.' Record Collector also noted that 'the Revue’s sleaze-billy holler isn’t abandoned so much as thickened on the riff’n’roll turmoil of his Righteous Mind debut' declaring the record 'ridiculously thrilling.

BBC Music praised the two new members of the band as fundamental to Genesis's artistic success, remarking "Collins' snappy drums were augmented by his uncanny ability to sound not unlike Gabriel ... Hackett's armoury of tapping and swell techniques really broadened the palette of the band, giving Tony Banks more room for his Delius-lite organ filigrees, not to mention their newly purchased Mellotron", and gushed that "Genesis had virtually invented their own genre, Edwardian rock". Although Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic deemed the album highly uneven, he considered "The Musical Box" and "The Return of the Giant Hogweed" to be "genuine masterpieces", and concluded that even if the rest of the album "isn't quite as compelling or quite as structured, it doesn't quite matter because these are the songs that showed what Genesis could do, and they still stand as pinnacles of what the band could achieve". Geddy Lee of Rush included this album among his favourites in a list from an interview with The Quietus.

Pre-dating Ninja Tune is the radio show Solid Steel, which Coldcut set up in 1988 and joined at a later date by DJ Food and DK. What initially began as a radio show on then-pirate Kiss FM went on to become a weekly 2-hour mix show broadcast online and syndicated to numerous radio stations around the world, with highlights available as a podcast on iTunes. Solid Steel is also the name of a series of DJ mix CDs from the label and various club nights showcasing the talents of the Solid Steel DJ's and a number of Ninja Tune artists. The show, which celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2013, showcases a varied blend of left field tunes, the broadest beats and forward-thinking selections. Being a freestyle eclectic mix, the weekly two-hour show was described by The Quietus as being "the past mashed with the present plus a dash of the future".

The album received a mixed reaction from critics. In a mixed review, The Quietus highly praised Davison, describing him as "absolutely the right choice for the band [...] Davison sings his bits, often with Squire backing him up, and those are often the best (or prettiest) parts of the album — Davison sounds like he's about to burst into tears on half these songs", but criticized the lack of energy, especially from White and Squire, and the tempo of the songs considered too slow. Summarized the Financial Times, "here come prog rock relics Yes to show the youth what proper boredom is, the kind of boredom that comes with bland guitar solos, chugging drums, lumbering time changes and otiose lyrics about "getting to know the empty space/Beneath the surface of common days." The Guardian stated "the album [has] a rich, 70s sound, and the material is solid enough, flavoured with Steve Howe's distinctive, rippling guitar and Geoff Downes' retro keyboard.

" Philip Cosores was also positive in his write-up for Pitchfork, summarizing that "Sam Beam brings Iron & Wine full circle on his sixth album, using the warm acoustic instrumentation of his early work and some of the most moving singing of his career." Awarding the album four-stars out of five, Ben Beaumont Thomas was also positive in his assessment for The Guardian, stating "Despite having a title that suggests a new thrash metal direction, Sam Beam’s sixth album as Iron & Wine essays yet more romantic, Americana-tinged songwriting, and it’s cosier than ever." Sean Guthrie also made similar remarks in his review for The Quietus, writing that "This record is snug, unthreatening and comforting, which means anyone looking for rage and catharsis ought to give it a wide berth. But for many of those preoccupied by the kind of concerns that trouble Sam Beam – chiefly thoughts of mortality and fallibility – Beast Epic will be a long, warm, healing embrace.

According to The Quietus, The Spoils "unfurled an epic sort of gloom-pop deliberately tarnished with lo-fidelity scuzz, but songs like "Clay Bodies" rose above the rubble thanks to Nika's huge delivery, full-hearted and powerful in a way that that melds a familiar diva dynamic to an abrasiveness practiced by scream queens like Diamanda Galas and Lydia Lunch. The Spoils (quoting The Fact magazine) "saw her master a unique vocabulary of drones, cavernous acoustics and rich, anachronistic vocal timbres buried within a dense layer of lo-fi grain that suggested that Zola Jesus had very much found her voice." A Boomkat reviewer pointed to "doom ridden, barely decipherable lyrics and emaciated drum machines somewhere between Siouxsie Sioux and Cold Cave" as the album's sound main feature. "The effect is a windswept and romantic scene of pop emotions wrung with blood curdling howls, bristling with synth electrics and booming with Robin Guthrie-esque drums.

The band then briefly called themselves "Nick Cave and the Cavemen" before adopting the "Bad Seeds" moniker, in reference to the final Birthday Party release, The Bad Seed EP. The majority of the album was recorded at Trident Studios in London in March 1984. "Saint Huck", "Wings off Flies" and "A Box for Black Paul" were recorded at The Garden studio (owned by John Foxx) between September and October 1983. J.G. Thirlwell, an early member of the group, co-wrote "Wings Off Flies" and made uncredited instrumental contributions to the album, but departed early in the recording sessions due to creative disagreements and to work on his own solo material.Daniel Dylan Wray (2014) If This Is Heaven I'm Bailing Out: The Death Of The Birthday Party , The Quietus, accessed 5 January 2017 The band is also seen playing a live performance of the title track in the 1987 Wim Wenders film Wings of Desire.

" On the negative side, Marty Racine of the Houston Chronicle said that "I Don't Wanna Know" and "Take Me Home" were the only songs to "rise above the crowd", and that Collins focused too much on his singing and less on his drumming, "which can be captivating". Racine also added that the album makes the listener feel a little "cold", but admired that the singer was "playing the game as well as anyone". Writing an article in defence of Collins in 2010, Gary Mills of The Quietus described the album as "determined dross" which Collins did not deserve to have his career judged by. In 2013, music critic Tom Service of The Guardian was similarly scathing, saying the album had not stood the test of time and was "unlistenable to today", singling out "Sussudio" for particular criticism, arguing: "the production, the drum machine, the inane sincerity of the lyrics; there's no colder or more superficial sound in popular music, precisely because it takes itself so seriously.

Nick Levine from NME perceived Rexha more as an "emo singer", while Refinery29s Courtney E. Smith described Rexha as an "anti- hero" and a "dangerous woman fiercely playing with themes of depression, a lack of self-control, and unpredictability". In addition, Smith expressed that the singer "did a masterful job of painting a nihilistic scene in which she's an observer, and sometimes an unreliable narrator", but emphasized a lack of "autobiographical impression". Rolling Stones Sarah Grant wrote that on Expectations, Rexha "paints herself as a heroine trapped in an ivory tower of her own making, but her cat-scratching upper register suggests sensitivity more than vengeance", calling it "an impressive debut album full of nostalgic heartache". Tommy Monroe from The Quietus stated that "a few tracks do do lack energy", however he described Rexha as "no ordinary singer" and "a chameleon who can switch vocals, blend with any sound, and find rhythm with any tempo".

The song is also about the limitations of pop music and mass communication when it comes to succinctly addressing and simplifying complicated issues. Some of the songs were influenced by past financial difficulties in the United Kingdom, particularly in the Brewis brothers' native North East, depicting what The Quietus writer Barnaby Smith called "scenes of the grimness and humiliation that many endured as austerity measures which took hold in Britain at that time". James Rainis of The Cornell Daily Sun wrote that Plumb discussed "politics, suburban disaffection, and life in an English industrial town", while Aaron Lavery of Drowned in Sound said the album reflected a passionate attitude about politics, culture, and community, as well as "uncertainty over what can be done to make a difference in those areas". Several songs on Plumb included lyrics about loneliness and nostalgia; Lavery described the album as an "existential crisis in a post- industrial north-east town"; likewise, Forrest Cardamenis of No Ripcord said it included "existential, boredom-induced lyrics" with a heavy use of irony.

Further within Contact, an intelligence organisation named Special Circumstances exists to deal with interventions which require more covert behaviour; the interventionist approach that the Culture takes to advancing other societies may often create resentment in the affected civilisations and thus requires a rather delicate touch. In Matter, it is described that there are a number of other galactic civilisations that come close to or potentially even surpass the Culture in power and sophistication. The Culture is very careful and considerate of these groupings, and while still trying to convince them of the Culture ideal, will be much less likely to openly interfere in their activities. In Surface Detail, three more branches of Contact are described: Quietus, the Quietudinal Service, whose purview is dealing with those entities who have retired from biological existence into digital form and/or those who have died and been resurrected; Numina, which is described as having the charge of contact with races that have sublimed; and Restoria, a subset of Contact which focuses on containing and negating the threat of swarms of self-replicating creatures ("hegswarms").

While Trajan moved from west to east, Lusius Quietus moved with his army from the Caspian Sea towards the west, both armies performing a successful pincer movement, whose apparent result was to establish a Roman presence into the Parthian Empire proper, with Trajan taking the northern Mesopotamian cities of Nisibis and Batnae and organizing a province of Mesopotamia, including the Kingdom of Osrhoenewhere King AbgarosVII submitted to Trajan publiclyMaurice Sartre, The Middle East Under Rome. Harvard University Press, 2005, , page 146. According to Cassius Dio, the deal between Trajan and Abgaros was sealed by the king's son offering himself as Trajan's paramour—Bennett, 199as a Roman protectorate. This process seems to have been completed at the beginning of 116, when coins were issued announcing that Armenia and Mesopotamia had been put under the authority of the Roman people.Bennett, Trajan, 196; Christol & Nony, Rome,171 The area between the Khabur River and the mountains around Singara seems to have been considered as the new frontier, and as such received a road surrounded by fortresses.

" The Quietus also gave it a favorable review and said it has "a softer collection of songs, harnessing more sincerity than his last two general- release LPs (as opposed to Orion, which was online-only), Easy Tiger and Cardinology." Clash also gave it a score of eight out of ten and called it "a haunting album that truly reveals Adams' bruised soul." musicOMH also gave it a score of four stars out of five and said "It may put people off who were more attracted to Adams' more tortured side, but Ashes & Fire makes for a compelling reboot for a man who could, once more, become a contender." Alternative Press gave it a similar score of four stars out of five and said, "The recordings have the warmth and pop of a vinyl record, creating a perfect environment for Adams to honor his influences." Consequence of Sound also gave it a score of four out of five and said it "remains compelling throughout thanks to its peaks and valleys.

" Sarah Grant of Consequence of Sound called Sun a "passionate pop album of electronic music filtered through a singer-songwriter's soul", while The Fly reviewer Sophie Thomsett said that the album has "transformation and catharsis seeping through every note", before summarising that "at its peak, Sun reaches greatness, specifically with both "Manhattan" and the 11-minute opus 'Nothin' But Time', which count easily amongst some of the best material she's ever penned", with both writers awarding the album 4.5 out of 5 stars. Stephen Deusner of Paste said that the album was "absolutely fascinating in its humanity and compassion", awarding the album 8.0 out of 10. Matthew Foster of The Quietus, in a positive review, said that Sun "is about as cathartic as pop gets" and described the album as "the light at the end of one hell of a tunnel, a record brimming with an assurance and playfulness." Anna Wilson of Clash said the album was "a robust, respectable detour, but will leave some fans pining for the smoky chanteuse of old.

" Consequence of Sound's John Hadusek thought that the record "finds a middleground between the guitar pop of the Coming Up era and the moodier textures of Dog Man Star," and regarded it as "a fine entry in their already strong discography." Pitchfork critic Stuart Berman was positive in his assessment of the album, stating: "With Night Thoughts Suede once again leap up off the dancefloor to swing from the chandeliers." Berman further stated that the record "isn’t a rock opera per se, though it gamely assumes the form of one." The Quietus' Luke Turner thought that musically, the album "is the most solid and focussed-sounding album Suede have ever realised" and commented: "It certainly is the sound of a band stepping out of their own shadow to finally be all they can be." Rachel Brodsky of Spin wrote: "Night Thoughts honors Suede’s longstanding place in Brit-rock history as theatrical brooders with a penchant for pop and post- punk, while also celebrating the five-piece’s growth by supplying listeners with another round of swirling dance ballads and operatic, Dog Man Star-ry ruminations.

Jus Oborn stated the sound of Come My Fanatics... was in response to the first album not being as heavy sounding as expected Rise Above Records owner Lee Dorian stated that the group's sound on the record "somehow managed to break the mould of traditional doom metal", noting that previous doom metal groups are "very morose and slow and heavy which can be very off-putting" while Electric Wizard had a guitar sound that had a "completely unpolished approach to the way they present themselves". Dan Franklin, writing for The Quietus, stated the group's style of music was "completely contrary to the surprisingly spiritual tendencies of Trouble and others", noting its "thick, chaotic and crushing sound". A 29 second sample of Electric Wizards's "Wizard in Black" featuring the groups use of sampling echoed these statements, noting that the album "somehow upped the sonic ante through a wall of sludge so thick that even the most experienced of metal heads couldn't help but be overwhelmed by its power". Dorian also found the album difficult on a first listen, stating: The music on the album draws influences from 1970s horror films, biker movies and the works of H. P. Lovecraft.

" Commenting on Collins's popularity with hip-hop acts, he argued: "It's not surprising. Collins is a world-class drummer whose songs immediately lend themselves to being sampled." In 2010, Gary Mills of The Quietus made an impassioned defence of Collins: "There can't be many figures in the world of pop who have inspired quite the same kind of hatred-bordering- on-civil-unrest as Collins, and there can't be too many who have shifted anything like the 150 million plus units that he's got through as a solo artist either ... The disgrace of a career bogged entirely in the determined dross of No Jacket Required however is simply not justified, regardless of how Collins gained either his fortune, or his public image." David Sheppard wrote for the BBC in 2010: "Granted, Collins has sometimes been guilty of painting the bull's-eye on his own forehead (that self-aggrandising Live Aid Concorde business, the cringe-worthy lyrics to 'Another Day in Paradise', Buster, etc.), but nonetheless, the sometime Genesis frontman's canon is so substantial and his hits so profuse that it feels myopic to dismiss him merely as a haughty purveyor of tortured, romantic ballads for the middle income world.

D. I. Go Pop was released on 28 February 1994 on Rough Trade Records in the United Kingdom as a CD and LP and Bar/None Records shortly afterwards in the United States as only a CD. The LP edition featured a sticker of the band's logo on the cover bearing the album title and band name to identify it from the front. No singles were released to promote the album, and it charted in neither country, but the good press of the band in the UK nonetheless increased interest in the band, and in the United States, the album still found an audience despite its near-total lack of promotion. Neil Kulkarni of The Quietus said that "weirdly for such an elementally British band, DI have long been of almost mythical status in the US. My old Maker/Metal Hammer mucker Jon Selzer recalls wearing a rare orange DI shirt to Washington DC and being stopped every five minutes by someone insistent on telling him how much DI meant to them." The album title shares its name with the second song on the band's 1993 EP The Last Dance.

Stump formed in London in 1983. Initially featuring several line-up changes, the band settled in 1985 on the line-up of former Microdisney members Mick Lynch (vocals), Rob McKahey (drums), Kev Hopper (bass) and Chris Salmon (guitar). Becoming popular in indie circles for the band's unique, experimental sound, they built a following and released the four track EP Mud on a Colon in 1986 through the Ron Johnson record label. According to The Quietus, "the four tracks suggest Stump came out of the womb fully formed; the beguiling mélange of thwarted funk, traditional Irish drum rhythms (many of McKahey's time signature are concomitant with that of Irish jigs, usually performed in 12/8 time) and Lynch's lyrics, which tended to play continual tricks with the English language, piling up Surrealist imagery with a humorous scorn for syntax." Their song "Buffalo" featured on the NME's influential cassette compilation C86, featuring 22 tracks from bands within the British indie music scene, although Stump were said to stand out from the other jangle pop bands associated with the scene due to their quirky avant-garde bent.

The compilation featured artists such as Darren Hayman, Ace Bushy Striptease, Jeffrey Lewis, Bored Nothing, David Cronenberg's Wife and more and was praised by The Quietus, The Skinny and more. The label followed this with Cloud's "Comfort Songs" LP which was supported with airplay from Tom Ravenscroft, Gideon Coe and Tom Robinson at BBC Radio 6 Music, John Kennedy at XFM, Simon Raymonde (Bella Union/Cocteau Twins) at Amazing Radio, Eric Lawrence at KCRW and an on-air interview with Robert Rotifer for FM4, the album was also greeted with a very positive response from press, including an 8/10 from Drowned In Sound, a 10/10 from Contact Music, while Pitchfork called it "astoundingly accomplished." Retail were also supportive of the release, "Mother Sea" was included by Rough Trade and The Guardian in their Tracks of the Week subscription,/photo/1 "Cars & It's Autumn" was Google Play's Free Song of the Week while tracks were also featured by Napster and Rdio – Cloud was also featured as "New Band of the Week" by Fairsharemusic. Audio Antihero's final release of 2013 was The Superman Revenge Squad Band's "There Is Nothing More Frightening Than the Passing of Time" which reunited the label with Ben and Adam Parker of Nosferatu D2.

In the 1960s, as popular music began to gain cultural importance and question its status as commercial entertainment, musicians began to look to the post-war avant-garde for inspiration. In 1959, music producer Joe Meek recorded I Hear a New World (1960), which Tiny Mix Tapes Jonathan Patrick calls a "seminal moment in both electronic music and avant-pop history [...] a collection of dreamy pop vignettes, adorned with dubby echoes and tape-warped sonic tendrils" which would be largely ignored at the time. Other early avant-pop productions included the Beatles's 1966 song "Tomorrow Never Knows", which incorporated techniques from musique concrète, avant-garde composition, Indian music, and electro-acoustic sound manipulation into a 3-minute pop format, and the Velvet Underground's integration of La Monte Young's minimalist and drone music ideas, beat poetry, and 1960s pop art. In late 1960s Germany, an experimental avant-pop scene dubbed "krautrock" saw influential artists such as Kraftwerk, Can, and Tangerine Dream draw inspiration from free jazz, German academic music, and Anglo-American pop- rock. According to The Quietus David McNamee, the 1968 album An Electric Storm, recorded by the electronic music group White Noise (featuring members from the U.K.’s BBC Radiophonic Workshop), is an "undisputed masterpiece of early avant-pop".
