As last week's issue of "The Brain" went live, the folks at Other Music
were moving all the stock from the Boston store back to NY. The
unannounced departure of Other Music Boston is about as bittersweet as
their shocking arrival, 16 months ago.
In the four years since their last album, 'Shrink,' the members of this German group have kept active with numerous other projects, including two astonishing albums from Lali Puna; two incredible full-lengthers and a remix disc from Tied and Tickled Trio; plus notable LP, EP and remix releases from Console; and various appearances on others albums. 'Shrink' was probably such a phenomenal pop/post-rock electronic jazzy breakthrough that I may have been expecting something similar. 'Neon Golden' has far exceeded my expectations, however.
