Sly & The Revolutionaries - Black Ash Dub
--- Quote ---Fronted by 2 of reggae's most venerable sidemen, (drummer Sly Dunbar and bassist Robbie Shakespeare) the Revolutionaries were a conglomeration of many of reggae's finest studio musicians, brought together with producers ranging from legends like King Tubby and Prince Jammy, to lesser known ones, to create some of the finest dub of the late 70's.
"Black As Dub" is a wonderful example of the group at its peak. Sly's drumming prowice is at its best on this lp, complete with his famous crash cymbals on the 4th beat in 4/4 time versus the 1st beat. His skills are legendary due in large part to the bass playing of Robbie. His grooves are intense, yet very supple, and perfectly augment Sly's grooves. (Robbie also plays great lead guitar on this lp, as well.)With its 2 major club hits- "Marijuana" and "Cocain(e),", "Black Ash Dub" is a fine example of late 70's dub, and a wonderful addition to any fan of Sly and Robbie. Well worth the investment..

Jeremiah Jae - Rappayamatantra EP
--- Quote ---Some fresh blood for the Brainfeeder label, Jeremiah Jae is a Chicago native who somehow manages to blend the cut-and-paste of the LAFMS, the synthetic pulse of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop and rare groove of Madlib and emerge with something effortlessly engaging and shockingly coherent. Madlib might just be the best reference, but this is far from an exercise in second-rate ‘Unseen’ pastiches, just flip over to the Delia Derbyshire-esque ‘Stones Passage’ and prepare to have your brain cells frazzled by Jae’s genius-level of control over his unexpected, pulsing rhythms and the kind of bleeping, synthetic textures the Ghost Box set would be dribbling over. Elsewhere ‘$easons’ (which has been floating around the net for a while now) shows off Jae’s wordplay, and while it might be the straightest track on the EP is still undeniably peculiar with Jae swathing his low-key raps with a glorious sludge of noise, choppy rhythms and stuttering vocals. With ‘Rappayamatantra’, Jeremiah Jae has put more ideas into the mix than most artists inject into an entire album, and there’s no reason I can think of for any followers of post-rap, wonky or whatever the media is labeling this stuff right now to grab this without any further delay. Seriously one of the most exciting EPs I’ve heard in ages – a huge recommendation.

Jacques Greene - Another Girl
--- Quote ---LuckyMe drop one of the most anticipated dancefloor 12"s of the last 12 months, backed up with remixes of tracks from 'The Look' by Rinse FM's Braiden and UR's Mark Flash. There's no need to bang on about 'Another Girl', it's straight anthem material combining ohrwurming vocal, a a rolling emotional topography and dancing neon melodies in beautiful style. Flip it and Braiden gives a tough rework of 'Holdin' On', full of titanium cowbells, rampant R1 Ryders style bass revs and chopped vocals, but UR's Mark Flash steals the show with a Hi-tek, carnival-killing remix of 'The Look'. Very large 12"!!!

Burial - Street Halo
--- Quote ---'Street Halo' is the first solo Burial 12" in four years. It's a peach. A-side 'Street Halo' is a yearning 4/4 roller tucked with all the hallmarks of his finest and usefully cut at 45rpm in case you want some slopped and screwed fun. Flipside, we find the slowdown soul-tugger 'NYC' featuring a more prominent vocal in the style of his songs from 'Untrue', but best of all is 'Stolen Dog', hankering after a twoc'ed mutt through a beautiful, Roedelius-like lead refrain, barely-there rhythms and swarming spectral shapes. Worth the wait? Indeed.

Coki - Boomba / Carbon Aliens
--- Quote ---What the f**k has Coki been smokin'? His latest platter for Tempa is by far his weirdest to date. Featuring an ecstatic ass on the centre label, 'Boomba' sounds like chamber music for hydro-toking bass aliens, with warped, harpsichord-like melody and irregular, obtuse bass quakes crumbling the walls of halfstep to leave behind a surreal and abstract rhythmic framework. Flipside, 'Carbon Aliens' staggers on a drunken-master halfstep style, knees buckling under successive subbass onslaughts and head reeling from psychotomimetic synths sounding like the garbled rantings of a dubstep lifeform sent to earth to p*ss off the keepers of "good taste". Wickedly done!

Panda Bear / Actress - Surfer's Hymn (Actress Mix)
--- Quote ---Following a flurry of 7" activity in 2010, Panda Bear prepares for his full length with sterling remix support from Actress. Prostrated on the beach, waves crashing in the background, 'Surfers Hymn' is a delirious pop ritual revolving around cascading, rainbow-coloured melodies struck on some kind of treated marimba or xylophone and refracted against the sand's heat haze shimmer into glorious harmonies, crucial points accentuated with the sound of overheard planes and squawking gulls. Dazed and washed up after a day in the waves, Actress' 'Primitive Patterns' remix views the original though clogged ears, the tinkling, melodic polyrhythms sounding like they're played back through a conch shell while the percussive grooves are corroded to a sand-stomping tribal jack reminding of Ra.H's 'Time' 12" for Morphosis. This is one irresistible bit of wax - strictly limited and Highly recommended

Not a huge fan of Panda Bear, but this remix is amazing!

As far as husband-wife indie pop duos go, The Submarines are possibly the best. Really solid album at a pretty decent quality.

How does it compare to Honeysuckle Weeks? Saw them live when that album came out, and it was the cutest show ever. Holy shit, please tell me "Just Like Honey" is a cover of The Jesus and Mary Chain...
