about

Michael P. Dawson’s fourth album offers eight sound pictures inspired by John Brunner’s dystopian novel Stand on Zanzibar. The Hipcrime Vocab blends woodwinds and guitar with Moog and computer electronics to create a series of colorful sound spaces and chilling atmospheres incorporating avant-garde, ambient, and progressive rock elements. Dark and unsettling, but not without elements of sardonic humor. Commit a hipcrime today.

ZAP!
by MOON X

supported by 5 fans who also own “The Hipcrime Vocab”

Ambitious, rich and full of nutritional goodness. As is a constant with any project avant-prog avatar Dave Newhouse is involved in, ZAP! mixes textures, tempos, rhythms, colors and melodies to fantastic effect. Like a rich dream you don’t want to wake up from. And you really shouldn't. Marc Farre

Man Out Of Time
by Manna/Mirage

supported by 5 fans who also own “The Hipcrime Vocab”

I feel like the COVID pandemic allowed/forced Dave to really think through and seriously polish his ideas. The songs here all feel so complete, sophisticated, and fully realized--moreso than the previous Manna / Mirage releases. While I've been loving these releases since 2015s Blue Dogs, this is the one I will be listening to the most ten years down the road. GREAT collaborations from all guests and great compositions/ideas from the playful brain of Dave Newhouse. Well done! wafiii

The new live EP by Ryan W. Stevenson's project reminded me, that this debut album must have been gone down the wishlist... If instrumental Canterbury stuff is your thing, this should be a no-brainer. Firmly rooted in the past (late 60s, 70s), nevertheless with a fresh sound. Guests incude The Tangent's Andy Tillison and Soft Machine's Theo Travis. Carsten Pieper

Autobiographie

This album belongs to the 'Canterbury Scene' but with something more: there is new excitement here and lots of different ingredients that transcend existing styles. Dragonjazz
