Melvin Gibbs (@melvingibbs.bsky.social) interviewed in @jazztimes.bsky.social by @adamorosi.bsky.social: "In 1980, I had to prove that I was one of the cats, that I was part of that community and making my mark. Now it’s about who I am as a person." Read in full at: jazztimes.com/features/pro...

Melvin Gibbs - Amasia: Anamibia Sessions 2 proggy, hiphop infused, cosmic funky jazz fusion blast to the brain. one of my favorite releases of the year without a doubt. murky & mystical & exploratory, total ripper. RIYL Dark Magus era Miles, Autechre, anything Hausu Mountain

Hausu Mountain has been on fire this year. They recently released the excellent new Pulse Emitter album, a glorious collection of melodic soundscapes. I reviewed “Tide Pools” for PopMatters.

This week's Five Albums: reviews of Lily Allen, Nappy Nina, Flycatcher, Melvin Gibbs, and Parts Work featuring Frances Quinlan

This new Melvin Gibbs LP is exactly the kind of record that gets people into avant garde music. I think it’s o e of the best of the year. Feels free and wild. Such a unique combination of talents and influences; nobody else on earth could make it. music.melvin-gibbs.com/album/amasia...

JUST IN! 'Tide Pools' by Pulse Emitter Portland producer and synthesist Daryl Groetsch returns with an album blending Berlin School ambient electronic and kosmische with influences from jazz and progressive rock. www.normanrecords.com/records/2108...

Pulse Emitter :: Tide Pools (Hausu Mountain) igloomag.com/reviews/puls...

All of it adds up to a triumph for the now 67-year-old Gibbs and his collaborators...It’s also a triumph for Hausu Mountain, who...inherited the daunting task of taking up the Anamibia baton from the venerable Editions Mego. pitchfork.com/reviews/albu...

The legendary musician returns with a new album that thrills both the head and the hips.

Marvelling at the synth textures and sense of sonic narrative on this record makes me realize how senseless dungeon synth is as a subgenre.

Melvin Gibbs Amasia: Anamibia Sessions 2 thoughtfully reviewed in @pitchfork.com by Daniel Bromfield: "Amasia explodes outward in ribbons of confetti and spangles of bright color." "All of it adds up to a triumph for the now 67-year-old Gibbs & his collaborators" 🖇️: pitchfork.com/reviews/albu...

Pulse Emitter excels at creating synth soundscapes that sound mind-bendingly wild, are massively melodic, and demand repeated listens. #PMPick out now via @hausumountain.bsky.social READ: tinyurl.com/PulseEmit25

mondo lava answer the question, what happens when a world music band jams out over thrift store records. an avalanche of fuzzy fuck-around. thick with texture, very few places to rest or grip, this one slips by weirdly

Melvin Gibbs dal dohromady živé hraní s kolážema a estetikou sci-fi soundtracků. A Amasia tak zní, jako by se Miles v tom nejdivočejším elektrickém období teleportoval do tekuté budoucnosti a začal hrát funk pro 2X. století. Groove, tlak a vizionářství. melvin-gibbs.bandcamp.com/album/amasia...

Melvin Gibbs connects with Miles Davis' fusion era without trying to recreate it as a period piece, carving out a place for the spirit to reside in the current time. The past connection is just as relevant as the portal opening into the future. It's all so vivid, I've had a great time with it!

2025 10 14 Melvin Gibbs, Sheree Renée Thomas, and Paul D. Miller (aka DJ Spooky) listen to melvingibbs.bsky.social ‘s new album Amasia: Anamibia Sessions 2 at a listening party sponsored by Four One One and Sound + Science at Close Up, 154 Orchard St., NYC

Melvin Gibbs Amasia: Anamibia Sessions 2 reviewed in @thequietus.com by Levi Dayan "uses the insular creative framework that Miles and producer Teo Macero mastered in the 70s as a jumping-off point for an entirely different planet of strange" read it all & subscribe: thequietus.com/quietus-revi...

Melvin Gibbs Amasia: Anamibia Sessions 2 reviewed in @jazzwisemagazine.bsky.social by Kevin Le Gendre "an album that tilts as much to avant-garde techno, where the laptop & mixing desk are king, as it does to a sophisticated blues jam where the riff in real time on strings, drums or horns is royal"

new @melvingibbs.bsky.social LP out on @hausumountain.bsky.social 2 listens in: love the way these tracks move, sidestepping through deep grooves, jazzy flights without ever landing on a too-familiar landscape. production cracks the sternum like a bone saw. alien, indeed!

out now: Melvin Gibbs Amasia: Anamibia Sessions 2 @melvingibbs.bsky.social leads an ensemble of collaborators recorded over two decades into an electronics-infused free-jazz odyssey. Part collage, part fusion workout, the album carries the spirit of Miles Davis’s Agharta into the next century.

Pulse Emitter - Tide Pools reviewed on @pitchfork.com by Daniel Bromfield 🪼 "On Tide Pools he ramps up to the level of his labelmates, both in its progginess and in the way it seems a little more computerized than his earlier works, with MIDI playing a bigger role." 🔗: pitchfork.com/reviews/albu...

Pulse Emitter - Tide Pools yeah this is still a fractured crystalline dream, quickly becoming my favorite release of his so far. whole synth worlds unfurling in here. don't sleep pulseemitter.bandcamp.com/album/tide-p...
