Eclectomatic on indefinate hiatus

JimZombie — Wed, 16 Jun 2010 14:30:33 +0000

It probably comes as no supprise to anyone that has frequented Eclectomatic in the past, but untill I get get my writers shit together this project is on hold. For the most putting together this publication and pushing out reviews and articles has been a lot of fun but Eclectomatic has gone far from a direction I am happy with. Eclectomatic was never meant to be an industrial music ezine or even a [...more] No related posts.

The best thing that ever happened to the music industry

JimZombie — Wed, 12 May 2010 06:37:52 +0000

Warning: this article contains traces of irony and self indulgent journalism The internet is the greatest thing that has ever happened to the music industry. Given the current climate of the music market this is a bold statement bound to cause riots and looting. Possibly a more apt statement would be something like this, the internet is the best thing that has ever happened to consumers of electronic media. This is coming from an [...more] No related posts.

And after a long slumber there was music

JimZombie — Tue, 11 May 2010 04:23:48 +0000

Oh man, oh man, music! So much brilliant music and so little time. What to list to, what to miss. Is music the spice that brings that little glint of glee into your life, or are these just the mad rantings of an obsessed “critic”? Apologies Let me offer most sincere apologies to so many musicians that, in my thoughtless haste, I said I would do reviews and interviews for but thus far [...more] Related posts:

Grave Concerns Issue 1 – Best of 2009

JimZombie — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 04:16:25 +0000

Not so secretly (or secretly, depending on who you talk to) I had the honour of editing Grave Concern’s E-zine’s Best of 2009 issue. So far there are plans to put these issues out quarterly, lets hope this works out better than it did for another dark culture ezine. There are tons of great reviews of some of 2009’s best industrial (and related genres) albums. The issue also contains, amazing art work by Cesar [...more] Related posts:

Review: C/A/T – We Are Still Alive

JimZombie — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 02:21:34 +0000

This article first appeared at www.graveconcernsezine.com Label: Crunch Pod Release date: Reviewer: JimZombie There is so much to write about with C/A/T’s latest release. I could spend hours talking about the social and political aspect of the album. Equally I could spend as much time again on the musical aspects of this well polished EP. We Are Still Alive is one of a few albums released this year that has appealed me on both a stylistic and [...more] Related posts:

Review: XP8 – Drop The Mask

JimZombie — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 02:03:32 +0000

This review first appeared at www.graveconcernsezine.com Label: Metropolis, Infacted Release date: 6/01/2010 Reviewer: JimZombie Crack the plastic, insert disc, press play and the music will do the rest. Bind is a brilliant album opener – so dancy that you will grove away even if ever so subtly. Blind, is one of those dance tracks that will appeal to many being damn easy to listen to and even easier to dance to. Most of the other floor oriented [...more] Related posts:

A bit-o-rough-n-tumble

JimZombie — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 06:44:54 +0000

As you might have seen over the last few days, Eclectomatic has been experiencing some technical difficulties. Some of these problems seem to be server side issues but mostly, it’s just me playing around with HTML and layout properties. Is this the time I inform you we are moving over to Joomla 1.5? Don’t worry, I think a complete rework like that is still some time off. Again I apologies for the irrelevant [...more] No related posts.
