Absolution & Burial Rec. 
V.A. : Absolution & Burial (US/UK,rec.2005-2006)*°°
This is a compilation of a lot of (myspace related) underground groups who makes just music for fun, lo-fi, slightly chaotic or loosely assembled, but with a certain charm. The first 16 tracks hang well together as if coming from one group with lots of ideas, and with a few individual song expressions. All these group tracks have a degree of structured creative nonsense, so not many of the tracks really speaks out more clearly like with an underlying philosophy, as if they just mostly want to enjoy themselves, wholeheartly, while trying and succeeding to create their own space, which for this point is entirely convincing. For those who like charming homemade psychedelic and lo-fi indie folk creativity, these tracks (by Brother’s Bowie, Opportunity, ‘Alas, Alak, Alaska’, Faulouah, 7/13 Moons, Wow Wow Jin Yang, Agent Ribbons, O’Death, Loomfixer, Patten, Pregnant, The Lava Children, Chorused The Animals, 'Split Mountain the Travelling Sleepytime Band', Zecki AM Sun) make a great compilation with no weak moment. The tracks after that, is like entering a different section, built up with a similar amount of chaos and loose creativity, but often somewhat harder edged. Cozy & Bruce Light Tone are heavier, and the track by Casanova Action is electronica pop. Night Nurse and Meadow Blaster is very -lofi rather experimental music. This is followed by a lofi recorded song by Adam Lipman, followed by another, cozy more structured singer-songwriter song (accompanied by piano, drums, accompanying vocals), by Coal Beautiere & The Finely Lovers, followed by tracks by Tea & Toast Band, and Galore that are similar to the way the compilation started. A fine compilation for groups without any pretention or much wish to be more than self-consistent.
