No Matter how good it tastes going in, it is never a good thing coming out.

Desolate - The Invisible Insurrection (w/ bonus tracks)
The RA review about says it all - the beats are really just a garnish for the sighing synths and echo-chamber keys. At its best it approaches something like early Pantha du Prince - deep, cold, delicate and mournful. There were 3 non-LP tracks on the CD and one non-CD track on the LP, and they're all included.
--- Quote from: Resident Advisor ---There's no getting around two things with Desolate's debut album for Fauxpas Musik. #1: It's Sven Weisemann. #2: It's among the best albums Burial never made. These two things are related, of course. Weisemann's work under his own name, especially Xine, has often had the same sense of melancholy as the aforementioned UK producer's garage and dubstep compositions. Weisemann only seems to marry his distinctively milky piano and dubby basslines to a syncopated beat as Desolate, though. So while it'd be easy to say that it's someone pinching Burial, given the context that it's Weisemann at the controls, you can hear it as the Berlin-based producer doing 2-step the only way he knows how.
This isn't meant to absolve Weisemann of sounding like Burial. It's merely to explain that he comes by it honestly. Listen to his minimalist piano compositions, and you'll know that he likes the black keys the best. Listen to his latest 12-inch for Mojuba, and you'll know he understands arranging instrumental music as well as anyone. That he succeeds at producing three (or four, if you believe he's the man behind Just Another Beat's Jouem project) different strands of dance music is a little bit mind-boggling. For those who've seen his energy behind the decks as a DJ, though, it's probably not that surprising. He's a guy that seems to play as if every record is his last—even when it's sedate deep house.
I don't know where "Divinus" fits into Weisemann's sets. Or if he plays these tracks at all. They seem to fit better as the warm-up or the come-down. While there are beats on nearly every song, they merely serve as accompaniment. The Invisible Insurrection is mood music first, electronic music second, dance music sixth or seventh.
One of the drawbacks of Weisemann's Xine was its length. With the same feelings being explored over the course of 20 miniatures, it felt like it could have been at least eight tracks shorter with little problem. The vinyl version of The Invisible Insurrection only has nine, and it's a perfectly pitched 36 minutes that has short ideas (both "Farewell" tracks) and showcase centerpieces on each side ("Cathartic" and "Divinus"). Hard to say whether this was judicious editing (doubtful) or the limitations of the vinyl format (more likely), but it simultaneously leaves you wanting more and secure in the knowledge that you actually don't need it.

Daedelus - Tailor-Made
FlyLo mentor Daedelus is nothing if not inconsistent (blame it on his foolish insistence on the album format) but this single is the best thing he's done in awhile. Sounds like he's been taking some cues from the Joy Orbison camp - insistent beats and swelling synths abound. Pretty infectious.
--- Quote from: Boomkat ---Alfred Darlington has been perfecting his ‘pots ‘n pans’ electronic subgenre for some time now, and under the Ninja Tune umbrella has put together some of the weirdest collections of post-everything dance music I’ve come across. ‘Tailor-Made’ is no different, and while it features vocals from Milosh pushed right to the front in what seems to be an attempt at full-on pop, it still sounds utterly spannered. There’s a bit of rave in there, a bit of house, a nod to the LA beat scene, a large-ass dollop of soul and then something altogether Alfred about the whole thing. There can be only one!

1000names - Before Sunrise EP
Like Duffstep before them, these Slugabed-y dudes decided to go left-field with relatively straightforward disco-house. Warming up for an Opit (Subeena's imprint) release, I hear. This sort of sound would fit well into that oeuvre.
--- Quote from: Boomkat ---Black Acre's Bulgarian anomalies 1000Names jam on two drag disco aces backed with slump-hop remix by Steve Lynx and Hellrazor. The sensually slow groove of 'Before Sunrise' is only a few shades away from the Balkan disco of Sare Havlicek but with a more modern twist, while you could almost imagine Danielle Baldelli spinning 'Kaleidoscope' at the cosmic club. Steve Lynx and Hellrazor chime in with a stoned-flow rerub of 'Pocket Calculator' from 1000Names' 'Illuminated Man' LP. Tipped to fans of Architeq, Kelpe and co.

Point B - Suicide Beauty Spot Remixes Part 2
A nice little crop of remixes for Point B - Dead Fader works a track into his usual blown-out industrial fuzz, Boxcutter takes things into more effervescent territory, Boris Noiz is all about the tight techno programming, Blackmass Plastics provides a good 90's car chase soundtrack, and Dead Sound plays a more conventional dubstep game.
--- Quote from: Boomkat ---Diverging the dark energy of Point B's 'Suicide Spot' into strains of dubstep, autonomic-style D&B, electro and gnarled techno. Boxcutter gives the highlight with a dBridge-styled vision of 170bpm synth romance, while Boris Noiz drops a razor-edged future techno workout, and there's roughed-up Dubs from Dead Sound and Dead Fader.
