Future Sound Of London, The - Kiss 100 Test Transmission 2 - 12-Nov-09 01:42 PM
An absolutely crucial release, and I'm very pleased it sees the light of day. When, in 1993 this was transmitted on Kiss FM in the UK it was amazing! A truly forward thinking way of mixing / creating a flow of music that fits together perfectly. Listening to this now I can see how FSOL are now carving out more of a name for themselves in the psychedelic arena as Amorphous Androgynous because this is certainly on another plain!

There's some great tracks on here from FSOL, Bandulu, Black Dog and many more and also a 'guest' mix from Sasha... well worth tracking down from the FSOL website. If you're into electronic music from the early 1990s you should own this.

Drexciya - The Return Of Drexciya - 28-Oct-09 02:28 PM
Can't believe no one's reviewed this classic.

I bought this when it came out alongside some Aux 88 and UR stuff - needless to say, all the records were bass shakin' booty music and electro of the highest order. This EP sends shivers down my spine as it's so crisp and sparse - I didn't even know which speed to play it originally as it doesn't say on the label.

Anyway, if you like your electro / techno from Detroit then you'll love this - all 4 tracks rock but 'You Don't Know' is the killer track for me. A great piece of vinyl.

Peter Broderick - Roscoe / Games Again - 24-Oct-09 01:37 PM
Absolutely amazing cover of Midlake's Roscoe. The original itself is a great record which was made even better with the addition of the BTWS remix, however, this version by Peter Broderick is superb. It's stripped back down to minimal roots of piano, vocals and what sounds to be some deft FX and made into an even more haunting piece than originally. Somewhat darker than material on his Home album, this should be checked out if you're a fan of Mr. Broderick or Bon Iver and the likes of Kings of Convenience etc.

My only question is why haven't Bella Union released this as a digital download?

Dennis Bovell - 24-Sep-09 03:35 PM
One of the nicest men in music today, this man's output/work/music (whatever you want to call it) is legendary.

From soundtracking one of the most important British youth films of the 70's (Babylon) to being the powerhouse behind many UK Reggae / Lover's Rock releases, to working with the likes of Edwin Collins, Bananarama, releasing library music on the KPM label and even with the Slits... Dennises work is superbly varied.

I was lucky enough to work with Dennis when he was compiling the two Lover's Rock CDs for Kickin Music and he opened my eyes to this form of music. Previously, I had dismissed it in my youth, however, on hearing some of the gems that he and John Kpiaye had produced in the 70's I realised the error of my ways.

Anyway, Dennis is a consumate professional, has many a story to tell of the music business and is a genuinely great bloke. Having just watched Babylon once more the other day it struck me how important this man has been for Black British Music and music in general. Check out any of his releases and I'm sure you'll agree...

I-f - Space Invaders Are Smoking Grass - 14-Aug-09 03:58 PM
Really surprised no ones reviewed this classic. It's raw proper electro and harsh as anything, but such a good record.

I can't believe it's over 10 years old as it beats most of the nu-electro around at the moment. Well worth checking if you're into the likes of Dave Clarke, Weatherall, CBS etc (but I suppose if you were into the above you'd know all about this great record already), anyway, the beats are crisp, the riffs are dead sharp and it's an abrasive slice of future music... I love it.
