Shri - Seven Steps

2010-01-20T05:32:00.000-08:00

I was expecting a bit of rough style breakbeat, but it's a bit more Nitan Sawnay than that. Bit too warbly on the vocals.

Fever Ray

VA - Electric Gypsyland 2

2010-01-20T05:28:00.001-08:00

Double album of Balkan music, one disc of raw pulsing foot stompers straight from the squeezebox, and the other a selection of tracks mixed by a random choice of other musicians, bands and remixers. Actually pretty good, though it looses points for having possibly the worse album cover of any album that I can think of - not including any of those "Ibiza beach bar" style compilations of course.

Giant Sand - Provisions

2010-01-20T05:27:00.000-08:00

Coutnry Americana

E.V.A. - Extra Vehicular Activity

2010-01-20T05:23:00.000-08:00

The one album I can think of that I've been looking for for longer than any other. Originally Pinky Parky had a copy that he leant us, and we listened to it on loop for years, so to finally get a copy of my own is a monumentally exciting moment. THE album of the late 90's. Or at least on of them.

Feed Your Head - Vol 1

2010-01-20T05:21:00.000-08:00

Nice compilation from the mid 90's. I wore a Feed Your Head long sleeve T-Shirt to death which is how I first heard about this recording. In fact, I wore the T-Shirt for years before I knew it was anything more than a nice graphic. Cool music, very chilled.

Aim - Stars on 33

2010-01-17T12:51:00.001-08:00

I think Cold Water Music is one of the finest albums of the last 10 years. This is a compilation of stuff Aim DJ's with.

Amon Tobin - Recorded Live

2010-01-17T12:48:00.001-08:00

Amon Tobin can be pretty touch and go sometimes, but this is AWESOME, a proper ace mix of click clack thunk twang widdle widdle thwup wuppa wuppa breaks and beats. Very very good!

kettel - Cenny Crush

2010-01-17T12:45:00.001-08:00

I think Kettel's flipping ace, and this record is pretty nice, though not as refined as his more recent stuff. Still, very enjoyable bleep bleep twiddle techno.

Mojo Magazine Cover - Amorphous Androgynous

2010-01-10T10:43:00.001-08:00

FREE CD! A MONSTROUS PSYCHEDELIC BUBBLE EXPLODING IN YOUR MIND! Rare psych sounds compiled and mixed by the Amorphous Androgynous exclusively for MOJO! Featuring Can, Betty Davis, Donovan, Comus, Pop Levi, White Noise, Dungen, July and many, many more!

An unofficial 3rd in the series of (PHENOMENALLY GOOD!) Monsterous Bubbles, a heady twisting mix of 60's psycadelic folk music. 40 years old and sounding fresh as you like. Good stuff. Probably good enough to put in your pipe and smoke, or drip some drops in orange squash and watch the sky turn into a pashmina.

Excellent electronica.

Ellen Allien - Sool

2010-01-10T10:36:00.000-08:00

OK album of minimal techno from Ellen Allien. Noway near as good as Orchestra of Bubbles (which she made with Apparat) but still not too bad. Dunno if I'd listen to it so much.

Devdas - Soundtrack

2010-01-04T00:56:00.003-08:00

I'd not heard of Ishamil Darbar prior to getting this, but found his stuff to pretty good. Very nice, classical Bollywood sounding, with a contemporary edge, and none of this R&Besque pop nonsense that's dominating the Bollywood music scene (opinionated from an extraordinarily blinkered and minimal knowledge of current Bollywood music, but hey that's the great thing about blogs! Plus noone's ever going to read this, etc etc etc).

Slumdog Millionaire - Soundtrack

2010-01-04T00:54:00.003-08:00

Cracking film in my opinion with some Ok songs, but nothing special. Jai Ho is probably going to be a classic though, and I think quite deservedly. Not a patch on pretty much every other Bollywood recording I've got though which is a shame.

Rhythm & Sound - W / the Artists

2010-01-04T00:51:00.000-08:00

Reggae singers and Dub Techno germanic twiddly beeping, what a combo! Awesome!

MGMT - Oracular Spectacular

2010-01-04T00:47:00.000-08:00

Psychedelic holographic cat suit pop perfection!

Earth - Phase 3 Thrones and Dominoes

2010-01-04T00:43:00.000-08:00

After loving The Bees Made Honey in the Lions Skull I thought I'd try this album out as a replacement for a James Blackshaw and Lute recording that I bought on the assumption that it'd be good like his other stuff. Sadly I was left very disappointed with this, it's got lots of noise on it but none of the development and exciting minimalism of recent stuff. Oh well, such is life.

Venetian Snares - Horsey Noises

2009-06-04T08:25:00.000-07:00

I flipping love Venetian Snares, but this was rubbish. Mediocre breakbeats with stupid annoying samples and terrible singing over the top. One to avoid, I think I may take it to a charity shop it was that bad.

Mastodon - Blood Mountain

2009-06-04T08:21:00.000-07:00

I've been listening to Mastodon's latest for a little while and getting more and more in to it. So I bought this off the back of that. It's pretty good, screamy, clear sounding metal. Couple of silly talky bits in it, and a ridiculous last secret track which is a bit pointless. Cracking artwork.
