What we say

Rating: ecstatic This record left our Phil feeling ecstatic.

The other single is a split between Maps And Diagrams and Verbose. You'd be excused for thinking it should be on Cactus Island. This is a 6 track EP with 3 track by each band. The Maps as ever throw their usual brand of high quality melodic ambient yet twizzly electronica at my speakers. Which makes me ears happy. For me the real surprise is the quality of the 3 Verbose tracks which are stunning. Emminently tuneful electronica which sounds like post rock but played with electronics. If you're a fan of Godspeed, Sigur Ros or the Expanding label you'll be equally happy with this. fecking smart. Both are limited to just 300 copies. Quick sharp!

About the humble CD single:

Another digital format and even though they can hold 80 minutes of information (like a CD album would) record companies only fill up a small portion of the disc. Sometimes only 1 or 2 tracks on there totalling 5 minutes or so. It's like going to a restaurant and getting a plate of food with 2 green beans on and wondering where the rest of your meal is. Sometimes they're lovingly packaged though and when the music is good then you're into a winner. Also you get videos on there sometimes which you can watch on your computer. That is excellent.
