Every once in a while I read something somewhere online either from or about Paul Antonio Ortiz that mentions progress on a new album, but I hear only silence. Even a quick scroll down his Facebook wall reveals little more than the tantalizing tease that some "super cool things" will be coming in October (his words).
We can all keep our fingers crossed that those cool things will include news of new material, or perhaps said new material itself, but in the meantime let's fill the vacuum of Chimp Spanner silence by cranking "Mobius, Pt. 2" from the main monkey's 2012 disc All Roads Lead Here. I've previously featured the first installment of this three-part monster song, so now enjoy part two and long for some fresh monkey business with me.

Friday: Chimp Spanner - Cloud City
The other day a post from Basick Records came up in my Facebook feed, telling me that this particular track would be great to play Mario Kart to. I wholeheartedly agree, and have thought the same thing about this guy's work before. Not for the first time here at Loud Noises, it's Chimp Spanner.
Specifically, it's "Cloud City" from 2012's All Roads Lead Here, a track that does indeed sound like it would make a good soundtrack for kart racing and shell slinging. Mario Kart's music is fairly jazz-influenced as it is, so something as smooth as Chimp Spanner feels right at home. Load up Rainbow Road and enjoy this one.

Friday: Chimp Spanner - Mobius, Pt. 1
We're staying on the Basick Record train today. Although today's song is from something a little older rather than something I just picked up after Christmas, you know I never really need a reason to feature badass instrumental music.
Your song today is "Mobius, Pt. 1" from Chimp Spanner's 2012 EP All Roads Lead Here, the first piece of an epic three-part exploration of the awesomeness of British guitarist Paul Antonio Ortiz. If you have an ear for some djenty jazz-fusion from a guy with some pretty monstrous guitar chops, you owe it to yourself to check out what Mr Ortiz is up to.

The List: Instrumetal
OK, today I’m debuting The List, the first of what I intend to be several semi-regular, semi-themed posts here at Loud Noises. When I do a List post, I’ll be coming up with (gasp!) a list of bands/albums/whatever centred on a particular theme. (I know, I know, real original. Shut up.) Rather than agonize over actually ranking whatever it is I happen to be listing, these are just going to be lists of stuff you should check out, in no particular order (although I will of course mention when I think something is especially badass or otherwise worthy of note). And to start the listing off right, I’m going to try turning you on to what I feel might be a somewhat underappreciated variety of metal: instrumental metal, which for the purposes of this post I’ve decided to call instrumetal (nice portmanteau, huh?)
