Twoblock Metronome

2006.06.07 Barbara Morgenstern: The Grass is Always Greener
Album of the year? Quite possibly. Barbara Morgenstern returns after three years with a solo record that kills any pop music out there today.
2006.06.06 k.d. lang: Reintarnation
On this surprisingly thorough compilation, lang’s early cow-punk years get chronicled, remixed, and remastered definitively.
2006.05.17 Lycia: The Burning Circle and Then Dust (2006 Reissue)
The ‘restoration’ continues, and here the changes have been extreme. A review for fans feeling wary: messing with perfection?
2006.04.28 Pia Fraus: Nature Heart Software
A huge leap ahead ... Pia Fraus are keeping great shoegaze alive by remembering that it's not just about the sound, it's about those melodies.

Sorry we've been away for almost half the year, but we've moved and now just settling in. Expect Metronome to be updated regularly again starting mid-November.
