Seattle-based psychedelic electropop / chillwave. Cool like Animal Collective, Neon Indian, and Washed Out. Highly recommended. I can't get enough of "Perfect Machine" and "Run Sun Run."

Eero Johannes - Eero Johannes
Eero Johannes has been on my radar for awhile, as he showed up on Planet Mu's roster last year and "Lipton Service Boy" appeared on their compilation Plan μ. It was a fun track, but I was only spurred into seeking this album out after dipping my toe into the wider scene from which Johannes originates. Eero Johannes is one of the more interesting artists creating music in the peculiar vein of Scandinavian electro-funk/pop (somewhat unfortunately) known as skweee.
Johannes' self-titled album (and skweee in general, but mostly this album) has been particularly refreshing coming after many months of exploration into the colder tones of noise and dubstep. The funk-influenced drum programming and warm, candy-colored synth tones here are hard to resist. Much of the fun of the album is the wobbling between bouncy electro-funk and robo-rave that wouldn't feel out of a place on an Oizo album (particularly "Hal Manifesto") but it works best when you get a little bit of both, in my estimation. For people who like a little more melody in their techno, and a must-have for anyone who likes the sound of synthetic slap-bass.
--- Quote from: Boomkat ---Planet Mu advance into the inviting world of Skwee with a full length Skwee eL Pee from Finland's Eero Johannes. For those unfamiliar with Skwee, it's basically a lo-fi and quite tongue-in-cheek style of synth pop indiginous to the peoples of Scandinavia, with practitioners and producers ranging from The Knife through to DMX Krew or Mesak. As far as i'm aware (feel free to correct me) this is the first full album of Skwee music recieving a domestic release in the UK so well done Eero, go you. The album itself is a very entertaining little oddity, with Eero originally booted out of his funk band for too many Bass solos, he finds time here to fully indulge in a bit of slapped and thrummed bottom end with poignantly piquant melodies to drag your emotions fully up to speed with your ass. It's proper hero music for those days when you can't get out of bed and just need the naughtiest 8-bit synth solo to let you know it ain't all that bad. Yeah.

Paul Baran - Panoptic
Paul Baran's debut on the Fang Bomb label recalls one of my favorite records from last year, Sunken Foal's Fallen Arches, in its just-a-bit-off tonality, ramshackle feel, use of prepared instruments, and subtly placed electronic flourishes. However unlike that record, Panoptic mines more of an ambient / avant-garde vein than an IDM / folk vein. Brass and guitar are layered over ever-present electronic and organ drones, tuneful enough but just a little weird, which is ultimately how I like my music. It might be a little off-putting at first but this is avant-garde with a small A - there's a lot of beauty here for the patient listener. Excellent study / reading music.
--- Quote from: Boomkat ---Boasting an incredible line-up (including Keith Rowe, Werner Dafeldecker, Ekkehard Ehlers and Rhodri Davies), Paul Baran's Panoptic is a somewhat high concept affair about globalisation, underclass and surveillance, but even if you're not willing to make the bridge between these ideas and the sounds strewn across the record, there's an abundance of wonderful abstract textures and immersive electroacoustic tones to get acquainted with here. The record begins with a shanty-like piece, 'Scotoma Song', complete with walkie-talkie vocals and droning organ chords, but it's only on ensuing instrumental tracks that the album's beauty and complexity truly reveals itself, peaking with the crossed signals and ghost-jazz brass phrasings of 'Tonefield'. Recommended.

--- Quote from: aflowerchild on 09 Dec 2009, 16:46 ---Sly and the Family Stone Anthology
"Amazon.com
For a time, it seemed as if Sly Stone would change the world, and it's only because his music was so ambitious that we forget, sometimes, that he did just that. His integrated band played funk-based jams, but always with touches of soul, blues, rock, and lots and lots of pop, a synthesis that spoke to its time even as it predicted the future. Comprising some of the most accomplished and inspirational music ever created, this 20-song set contains all but the last of his hits as well as a few hard-edged album tracks. Until a proper box set is put together, this will have to do. --David Cantwell"

--- Quote ---Spiritualized's third collection of hypnotic headphone symphonies is their most brilliant and accessible to date. Largely forsaking the drones and minimalistic, repetitive riffs which have characterized his work since the halcyon days of Spacemen 3, Jason Pierce re-focuses here and spins off into myriad new directions; in a sense, Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating in Space, with its majestic, Spector-like glow, is his classic rock album. "Come Together" and the blistering "Electricity" are his most edgy, straightforward rockers in eons, while the stunning "I Think I'm in Love" settles into a divided-psyche call-and-response R&B groove, and the closing "Cop Shoot Cop" (with guest Dr. John) locks into a voodoo blues trance. Lyrically, Pierce is at his most open and honest: The record is a heartfelt confessional of love and loss, with redemption found only in the form of drugs -- designed, no less, to look like a prescription pharmaceutical package, Ladies and Gentlemen is pointedly explicit in its description of drug use as a means of killing the pain on track after track. Conversely, never before have the literal implications of the name "Spiritualized" been explored in such earnest detail -- the London Community Gospel Choir appears prominently on a number of songs, while another bears the title "No God, Only Religion," pushing the music even further toward the kind of cosmic gospel transcendence it craves. A masterpiece.
