by Epic 45 (LP, £8.99)
Steady now. folks, here’s the first in a very limited vinyl reissue program of the Epic 45 releases which have so far only appeared on CD. There will be 200 of each made available, pressed on heavy vinyl and the first one for your delectation is Slides which was their 3rd album from 2004. It …read full review.
by Memory Drawings (CD, £12.99)
Here at Norman Towers, Hood are a band close to all our hearts, a beacon of the finest in northern miserablism and forward-thinking musicality, we’re always more than curious when any of their number drops something new. Take this new 2CD set in a fancy cardboard box and a moody black and whit …read full review.
by Nils Frahm (LP, £14.99)
That last CD by Nils Frahm on Sonic Pieces was a rip-roaring success and Kning Disk will be hoping The Bells is able to to repeat the trick. Essentially it's more of the same neoclassical solo piano improvisation but that's not a criticism at all, the guy's obviously hugely skilled and always a …read full review.
by Chapelier Fou (LP, £10.59)
Very impressive mix of neoclassical and electronic textures here from the mercurial and mysterious Chapelier Fou. Apparently this is an old EP which has only before appeared on CD, and now it’s got a tasty pink vinyl pressing. There’s a tasty seven tracks on here which mix warm, organ …read full review.
by Turing Machine (LP, £15.59)
Dunno what’s going on with this new Turing Machine record. It came out last week on Temporary Residence and for some reason we only got one copy on vinyl. So, this isn’t exactly an up-to-date review and we don’t really have the records so, as usual, it’s another case of irr …read full review.
by Celer & Machinefabriek (7", £5.99)
This is part two of a three part series that sees Celer lad (Will Long) collaborate with Machinefabriek lad (Rutger Zuydervelt) - something that a lot of people seem to keen on hearing. I believe this is also part of a video project with collaborator Marco Douma making vids for each piece. Haven&r …read full review.
by Umberto (12", £6.49)
The Great Pop Supplement have been kind enough to release Umberto’s ‘Welcome To The Chillzone’ on 12”. Originally released by Solid Melts in a limited run of 150 tapes, it’s nice to see these tracks have been given the 45rpm treatment and redressed in a awesome new T …read full review.
by Infiniti aka Juan Atkins (12", £5.69)
I feel like I've stolen someone’s job here. Our resident technophile Ant is an incredibly committed Juan Atkins acolyte whereas I’ve got like, three or four records spanning his illustrious and pioneering history. This twelve is the third in a series of coloured vinyls released to furt …read full review.
by The New Lines (LP, £11.99)
This lot were twinned with Still Corners on a recent GPS 7” and now we have their debut album ready for consumption. But you’re not allowed to eat it, oh no, if you eat your copy you probably won’t get another one as there’s only 300 numbered copies (sob!) I’m not b …read full review.
by Motion Sickness of Time Travel (Double LP, £19.99)
God I love Rachel Evans, she is one hell of a producer! In a field often dominated by blokes, her work as MSOTT is saturated with so many powerful energies and a distinct sparkling disciplined focus that so many could not begin to emulate. This is her latest, a double opus of transcendental new-ag …read full review.
by Evan Caminiti (LP, £16.49)
I really enjoy this guy’s individual material. I even prefer much of it to the occasionally dull Barn Owl he plays in as he seems to imbue his solo gear with more haunting textures, dark zen moods and earthy sonic exploration to create a right lovely collection of creepy, dusty psychedelic d …read full review.
by Red Stars Over Tokyo (12", £7.75)
Electronic experimentalists, these guys, and on this particular plate they’ve excelled themselves. The first two tracks covering one side veer between odd grumbling ricocheting IDM breaks and moods leading into a vortex of hollow disembodied drone gales then it finishes with some fine vint …read full review.
by Year Of No Light & Thisquietarmy (LP, £13.69)
On this record France’s semi-ambient post-metal noodlers Year Of No Light have teamed up with Montreal semi-ambient post-metal noodler Thisquietarmy for a whole LP of immersive doomy jams. Each band throws in a single long composition of their own which is then followed by a collaborative …read full review.
by Electric Guest (LP, £13.29)
This has ‘hit’ written all over it. It’s two guys from LA who have teamed up with Danger Mouse. How could it fail? Opener ‘Holes’ has a little of the Postal Service about it. Nice but slightly dreary. The magic happens on ‘This Head I Hold’ which is a prepo …read full review.
by Big Blood/ Micah Blue Smaldone (LP, £13.99)
After a few so-so releases today, it’s nice that something finally jumps out of the vinyl and makes me sit up and take notice. I’m so very tired you know. I’ve been tired and jaded since I took a gulp from a rogue glass of beer at the pub last week and I’m sure the two ev …read full review.
by Squarepusher (CD, £11.09)
Tom Jenkinson a.k.a Squarepusher is back on the pure electronics tip. Now, I’ll be the first to say that his output can be a bit patchy so - to some - this return to purest electronics will be welcomed with open arms. Personally I’m a big fan of his bass playing and love it when he mi …read full review.
by Burial (CD, £10.49)
Our Ant wrote this about the Kindred EP on 01 March 2012: The internet almost collapsed when Hyperdub announced this new Burial 12". The arrival of a new release from this guy is always anticipated with excitement akin to a 4 year old on Christmas eve. Yet again he's delivered the good …read full review.
by Talvihorros/ Damian Valles (CD, £12.79)
Ooh, this is well tasty. We’ve got Talvihorros and Damian Valles each chucking in more than 20 minutes of music on this here split CD. On the Talvihorros “side” Ben Chatwin tinkers away on his guitars, mandolin, viola and Hohner Pianet to construct two lengthy and soothing piece …read full review.
by Hildur Gudnadottir (CD, £12.99)
I don’t know a lot about this lady but she did a thing on Sonic Pieces not too long ago with Hauschka that Phil thought was amazing so I’m pretty curious to listen …read full review.
by Heavy Blanket (CD, £10.99)
"Ever wondered what Band of Gypsies would sound like if you mixed it up with Japanese hard psych and smoked it through a giant power bong?"Well, not really but I'm hearing it now and me is very, very impressed. Fuck yeah, this is a relentless churning Hendrix tribute of the highest quality, a dir …read full review.
by Talibam! & Sam Kulik (Book, £9.99)
I’m coming straight into this record from the meticulously crafted insanity of the new Darth Vegas CD and to be honest it sounds pretty retarded. Seriously some of the silliest, dumbest, most nonsensical experimental music you’ll hear all year, but also some of the most fun. Talibam! h …read full review.
