Wink Wink 2011 - A bit of a change this year
TheClickOfALight:
Cocteau Twins - Treasure (1984)
“Ethereal dream pop” - dark, ambitiously atmospheric soundscapes that incorporate elements of both ambient and electronic music, and which can be seen as one of the parent albums of the late 80s/early 90s shoegaze fun explosion. A blog I read once said that the world is split into two groups - people who love this album, and people who haven’t heard it yet. I think that pretty much sums it up perfectly.

and the Cocteau Twins, who apparently don't like it.

it's amazing.
it's just funny how they think it's their worst work, yet it's generally regarded as their best work by music fans.

Bots / Polaroid Sunset - Diskoblink! / Verry Sorry
Taut, lo-fi Skweee on the A, Low End Theory-style hip hop edits on the B. Already sold out!
--- Quote from: Boomkat ---**Black label, limited to 120 hand-numbered copies** Unhinged lo-fi ragga-disco and slicing edits from Bots and Polaroid Sunset on one very limited MYOR 7"! Bots' 'Discobink' has a lead melody like the reversing bleeps of an articulated lorry, factored into a rubbed and tugged ragga-disco rhythm for rudeboy androids. Polaroid Sunset's 'Verry Sorry' is a fancier edit job, dicing what sounds like some Various-style folk-pop or R&B vocal (we haven't a clue what it is) over dextrous drum flips and seething Zomby-style bleeps. Word!

Ghostleigh - For All Those / It's On
The newest addition to my stable of followed acts, Ghostleigh breaks out some true emotional computer music on the A, all sustained drama that feels like it's on the verge of imminent collapse but somehow avoids a messy end. The B has a more classic House feel but it works well and effectively within the confines of the form. Great stuff.
--- Quote from: Boomkat ---Ghostleigh stays in House gear for the ninth 12" on his self-titled label. Two tracks of Deep House indebted to Detroit's Patrice Scott but with a robust, Germanic construction. Limited white labels.

Move D feat. Fragment
Another little House tidbit for you, this one from the classicist Move D (who released an incredible Black Dog-esque lo-fi IDM throwback with Bedouin awhile back). Epic, at 11 minutes. Good study music, or dancing music. Picked from a collaborative EP for reasons I can't remember.

Policy - Specialty Party
I picked up Policy's last single on the dependable Car Crash Set some months ago and was really impressed by the density of the production, like a much less morose Burial circa Untrue. This single is as compelling as it is weird, swinging and twitching in the drums not unlike those great Planes EPs I put up a few months ago. Definitely check it out.

Pale Sketcher - Seventh Heaven
Justin Broadrick's inevitable-but-still-welcome foray into dubstep gets its second release a few months after its debut. The Bug (Broadrick's old partner from Techno Animal) and his King Midas Sound project provide a fuzzy dub remix.
--- Quote from: Boomkat ---Pale Sketcher is the result of Jesu and Godflesh's Justin K Broadrick experimenting with hybrids of shoegaze, swinging hardcore techno and metal dynamics. 'Seventh Heaven' fits Submerse-like garage patterns into an epic Jesu framework, whereas 'The Rainy Season' hits a melancholy hardcore breakstep vibe akin to his Tech Level 2 productions. The slow pulsing ambient techno of 'Resonanz Therapie Musik' is the towering highlight, strongly reminding of that classic Signer track whose name escapes me right now, and there's a typically dread-filled remix of 'Wash It All Away' from King Midas Sound.
