U.S. Christmas - Run Thick In The Night[2010]

Sounds a bit like Tweak Bird mixed with Electric Wizard with some unusual instruments sprinkled on top. If that doesn't incite you to download it, here's the opening track
gospel:
Holy crap that US Christmas album is gold.

Optimum - Max Power
--- Quote from: Boomkat ---Fresh from a remix of American Men with Ikonika, Optimum launches a debut solo attack with the screwy soca rush of 'Max Power'. Images of lairy Essex boys in fluoro-green Cosworths aside, that title track is fierce, like a more vicious LD cut made for warehouse deployment. Following this, the gangster carousel of 'Crash Riddim' is equally narsty, a proper sh*tter's riddim with an evil, demented glint in its eye while 'Lily' eases up on a melancholy, atmospheric roller built with cascading arpeggios and riding 20" subbass rims. Fans of Bok Bok, Girl Unit or Ikonika, don't miss this.

Dextro - Zero Circle EP
--- Quote from: Boomkat ---16K present Dextro's 'Ring Cycle' from his 'Winded' album backed with remixes from Anticon's Alias and the always excellent TVO. From the melodic IDM source material of his original TVO builds a squirming slab of techno psychedelics with hints of broken dubstep flow and Basic Channel-esque chords strung through his off-centre programming. This is impressive! The Alias remix swings for the indie/hiphop crossover with squashed mid-tempo beats and a sharp melodic arrangement.

(As far as I'm concerned the A-sides are a lot better than the B-sides, even though I thought I'd enjoy the Alias remix more)

Solar Bears - She Was Coloured In
--- Quote from: 20 Jazz Funk Greats ---“See, this album you are playing now sounds like it could have been made by some French crazies in the 1970s, when prog became that all-encompassing juggernaut that vomited liquid shards of over-nourished human psyche all over the place, it was kind of gross and eventually tiresome. But while the going was good, I swear, it was the most exciting of times. You took one of those records from its floridly decorated sleeve, slipped it on, leant back and breathed deep, woosh, it was like going partying in the docks of Marseilles as re-imagined by some sword and sorcery nut, you never fucken knew what was going to happen next, smoke and mirrors, twists and turns, ah, the energy! And if at parts it sounded like the future, not the future we dreamed but the future that happened, it is because some of us travelled there riding in the back of a red dragon. The metronome of this song swings with the circumference of a horizon beheld from high above, where the clouds glow with a tinture which is both the warmth of the sun, and the deep blue of the space above, it makes me wanna cry for everything we have forgotten’.
Solar Bears’ She Was Coloured In’ is one of the most astonishing albums that 20jazzfunkgreats (and Florian) have heard in a long time- like Subway soundtracking Fantastic Planet or something. But you are going to have to await until September to listen to it in its utterly transfixing glory. In Planet Mu, those guys know.

White Car - No Better
--- Quote from: Boomkat ---**Upfront & exclusive release from hotly tipped Industrial Funk project, White Car, on the excellent Hippos In Tanks label!** Having already collaborated with Giallo exponents Gatekeeper, and had a video pieced together by Daniel 'Oneohtrix' Lopatin, White Car is the latest buzz project to emerge from the hugely promising Hippos In Tanks label and features an addictive leather trousered passion for the EBM/Industrial sound of DAF, Nitzer Ebb, or Liasons Dangereuses with an incredibly canny eye for detail and a taste for sinister gothic splendour. Like Jamal Moss's Medusa edit series (dedicated to the underage Goth/Pop/Rock club), they're inspired by a virulent strain of European Industrial music that infected the Chicago club scene through the '80s and whose influence can be felt right through the catalogues of Trax and Mathematics. With the benefit of hindsight, they've burned off any excess to leave a sulphuric residue of disaffected vocals, sledgehammer snares and sweaty chested synths, efficiently recalling the frisson of sexual energy and electronic futurism which ignited Chi-town night spots. We couldn't recommend this release any higher to fans of Chris Carter, Ministry, Jamal Moss or Amyl Nitrate.

After 30 years or so, industrial is finally becoming en vogue. I've waited a long time for that to happen. It's a lot like Twitch-era Ministry with a little bit more goth in it, and I couldn't love it more.
