A couple from the 90's i dont think have been posted before

Lily's - Eccsame The Photon Band (1994)

The obscurely titled Eccsame the Photon Band is the Lilys' detour into spartan dream-pop, a guise they wear quite well. Kurt Heasley's soft, distanced voice is ideally suited to the coldly atmospheric textures of tracks like the langorous opener "High Writer at Home" and the narcotically catchy "The Hermit Crab," and while not everything works -- too many of the ideas here are simply not realized to their fullest extent -- the record is still one of the Lilys' best. It's a shame they shed this particular skin so quickly.

Spectrum - Forever Alien (1997)

Since the end of the legendary Spacemen 3, my money has been on Jason Pierce and Spiritualized. But Pierce's old partner Peter "Sonic Boom" Kember has finally made an album that matches the accomplishments of the duo's first band. Kember has put down his Vox guitar and turned to vintage analog synthesizers, theremin, and vocoder, and he's made some of his trippiest music ever. (And that's saying something for a guy who once titled an album Taking Drugs to Make Music to Take Drugs To.) High on the hit parade: the opening track, "Feels Like I'm Slipping Away," and "Owsley," a tribute to the infamous acid chemist. Turn off your mind, relax, float downstream.

And two from this year

Engineers - Three Fact Fader (2009)

Engineers are back. Four years after the release of their landmark debut, the band return with their epic second album, Three Fact Fader. The 13-track album was produced by the band along with Ken Thomas (Sigur Rós, M83, Maps) over a period of two years, with the final tracks being completed earlier this year. It comes packaged in stunning artwork by legendary music photographer Tom Sheehan. Engineers are not like any other band. Onstage Simon Phipps is the singer, Dan Macbean is the guitarist, Mark Peters is the bassist and Sweeney is the drummer, but the real clue is in their name: they approach their music like engineers, carefully constructing wonderful walls of sound. Following the rapturous reception that greeted their mini-album Folly in 2004 and debut Engineers the following year, it's taken them a long time to build their epic second album, Three Fact Fader. After initial recording sessions, Engineers became unwitting victims of record company restructuring and the album was left in limbo, unfinished until the band reconvened earlier this year, largely motivated by public support.

The Longcut - Open Hearts (2009)

The Longcut were once tipped to be the next darlings of Manchester. Formed in 2002, the trio leaked a slow trickle of records beginning with Transitions in 2004, which led to significant column inches in the musical press, critical acclaim and enough hype to put them at the top table with big up and coming indie names like the Killers, Kasabian and Kaiser Chiefs who all released debuts that year.

Although the band’s follow up EP, A Quiet Life was released in June 2005, there was never enough of the Longcut’s material consistently around at the time to break down the door of the busy music scene. Thus, their brooding tunes never quite reached boiling point in the eyes of the public, nor did they cement any kind of commercial success. And when the debut album A Call And Response eventually landed in June 2006, by then, as good as it was, the wave of widespread recognition they were set to ride on had subsided.

Now, three years on that perhaps wasn’t a bad thing, as Open Hearts serves as an emphatic reminder of just how good the Longcut are. I mean, this is seriously good music. True to form, messers Stuart Ogilvie, Lee Gale and Jon Fearon took their time with the record and have pulled a rabbit out of the hat with one of the most exciting albums of 2009.

Out At The Roots is a heavy bass guitar laden opener cautioning “you cannot say we didn’t warn you / you should have listened when you could”. With shades of UNKLE, it builds into a moody track with measured beats which underline the whole album, setting the scene for this musical diary which documents just what the Longcut have been up to.

There are echoes of the Rapture on Something Inside and Ogilvie’s detached, disinterested sounding vocals fit perfectly, as do the minor notes of the piano. Tell You So is delivered with an equal measure of brilliance and raw edged guitars.

Evil Dance is a menacing, sublime track starting with Muse sounding beats and guitars, but with a depth and quality they could only dream of. The shouted lyrics, “I thought that I was lost and I was scared as hell / I’m happy I was wrong” together with that same mesmerising pulse and scratch make it a highlight.

To be truthful there is not a low point amongst the eleven. You Can Always Have More, Mary Bloody Sunshine and Boom are soaring melodic post-rock sounding offerings, whilst Open Hearts has more than a hint of Stone Roses vocals combined with a soft drum machine. Another gem is Repeated, with its layer upon layer of beats, instruments and guitars which build to a spine tingling crescendo woven with the lyrics “I’ll be by your side”, vouching for the band’s softer side.

The Last Ones Here is the sign off – a track not dissimilar in formula to a Chemical Brothers’ closing offering, starting with soft lyrics and building before the final curtain call.

Open Hearts can best be described as a soundtrack to a drive through pelting rain and wind across the Pennines on the M62 towards Manchester – it is awe inspiring, beautiful and bewildering all at the same time. After all, the album is an atmospheric homecoming of sorts for the Northern trio. And importantly, it is definitive justification for the early prophetics of future brilliance the band received at their outset.

Mika-The Boy Who Knew Too Much[2009]

Making an album even more vibrant than Life in Cartoon Motion would have been difficult for Mika. On The Boy Who Knew Too Much, he doesn't try to top himself; instead, he reins in just enough of his debut's indulgent tendencies to let his gift for great melodies and hooks be the focus. His multifaceted pop sounds a little calmer and a lot more confident here -- rather than cramming songs with moments intended to impress that end up being overwhelming, "Dr. John"'s finger-popping minor fall and major lift and the calypso-tinged "Blue Eyes" actually are impressive because they're so direct. While Life in Cartoon Motion was remarkably engaging, occasionally it felt like Mika was more skilled at pastiche than presenting his own sound. Here, Mika and producer Greg Wells fashion songs that sound truly distinctive; though touches of inspirations and peers like Elton John, the Bee Gees, and the Scissor Sisters still pop up, the musician Mika borrows from most on The Boy Who Knew Too Much is himself. The album's opening trio of tracks nods to his debut's most vivid moments without copying them: "We Are Golden" is every bit as sunshiny as "Love Today"; "Blame It on the Girls" builds on "Grace Kelly"'s sleek style; and "Rain" is a kissing cousin to "Relax"'s pulsing, melancholy disco-pop. Mika tries a few different sounds on for size, most notably on "Toy Boy," a subversively sweet singsong that lies somewhere between Elvis Presley's "Wooden Heart" and the Dresden Dolls' "Coin Operated Boy," and the torchy finale, "Pick Up Off the Floor." While ballads still aren't his forte, slower tracks like the Imogen Heap collaboration "By the Time" offer welcome breathing room from "One Foot Boy" and the album's other almost ridiculously catchy tracks. Anyone who liked Life in Cartoon Motion's bright, brash approach won't be disappointed by The Boy Who Knew Too Much -- it's clear Mika knows exactly what he's doing.

Warp20 (Recreated)

*SHIPS FOR RELEASE ON MONDAY SEPTEMBER 28TH* Wanna hear Rustie covering Elektroids? Autechre covering LFO? Leila covering Aphex Twin? or Hudson Mohawke re-working Jimi Tenor? Look no further cos as part of their 20 years celebrations, Warp have hatched the brilliant concept of inviting their current roster to revisit classic tracks from the back catalogue with their own interpretations. It's a mixed bag for sure, with a few real curveballs and unexpected delights to be found spread over the two discs. Jimi Tenor's tropical jazz-funk version of the Elektroids' 'Japanese Electronics' sets the agenda brilliantly, and even Maximo Park sound great covering Vincent Gallo's 'When'. Rustie must have relished the opportunity to redo Elektroids 'Midnight Drive', as evidenced by his gorgeously nuanced aquafunk scramble, and Autechre's mix of 'What Is House' defines that title with a spooky synthline rework before Russell Haswell decimates Wild Planet's 'Cabasa Cabasa' with advanced processing techniques to turn it into a mulch of electronic noise freakily retaining some semblance of rhythm. Mark Pritchard provides a tender mix of of BDP's '3/4 Heart', Mira Calix and Oliver Coates remake BoC's 'In A Beautiful Place Out In The Country' as a neo-classical composition with lush strings and field recordings, and Leila imagines AFX's sublime 'Vordhosbn' as a creaky cinematic score for an unmade seafaring epic. If you've got a spare evening, you could set up your own listening party with some mates and a few bottles of pop and try to figure out who did which tracks without looking at the tracklisting, then again... Excellent stuff!

So yeah, a covers album. Mostly covers classic 90's stuff like Boards of Canada  and Aphex Twin but there are a couple of (pretty good!) Grizzly Bear covers and the like.

Luke Vibert - We Hear You

I feel a palpable sense of disappointment at the output of the stars of electronica  as they were (in what I will refer to as simpler times for no apparent reason) in their post-Warp-heyday era, but perhaps this is just because LFO, Aphex Twin, Squarepusher, Autechre et al propelled themselves so far ahead of everything else surrounding them, sonically as well as simply in terms of concept and enterprise, that there was nowhere left to go. For a brief moment, electronica seemed so futuristic, so innovative and at times plain mind blowing (a much overused term I know, but really, think about the first time you heard Aphex/Autechre/Squarepusher) that it never really occurred to me that those same artists would, well, plateau (to be polite), satisfied to fall back into the cult they loved and receive a little less exposure delivering acid sets and producing music for their friends alone. All have maintained a consistency, a continuation of ideas, but really never moved into the places we dreamt they might push us.

Richard James may have been the poster boy, but Luke Vibert was as much part of this scene as anyone, perhaps suffering only from not having an identity quite as distinct as the  members of the Warp stable; his forays into the Ninja Tune/Mo Wax brand of dance and hip hop, his love of all things acid, making him a jack of all trades rather than a master of anything specific. Through his various projects (Wagon Christ, Plug etc) he has undoubtedly produced a few classic tunes (‘Receiver’ from his Ninja Tune days and ‘I Love Acid’  come straight to mind as particularly memorable singles), but also suffers from an inconsistency that has left him without the recognition he perhaps deserves as a producer (and he is, incidentally, as good a DJ as I have seen; there‘s something immensely satisfying about dancing to quelching, bastardised electro for 30 minutes until ‘Take On Me’ emerges for a brief moment of clarity before the musical perversion recommences).

With this in mind his new record for Planet mu, We Hear You, fails to dispel the doubts, instead simultaneously enforcing the view of an artist too eclectic and inconsistent to produce an album that will become as memorable as Richard D James (or one of the ‘trip hop’ classics), and one that is criminally underappreciated, with more vitality and spark than many of his contemporaries. We Hear You also serves as a reminder that Vibert was as influenced by hip hop as anything else, and perhaps this is what sets him apart, and gives him an outlook of his own.

The album opens with cut up spoken word and hip hop samples reminiscent of Coldcut’s Journey by DJ mixtape, pre-aged to ’96, before the low-pass bass fills in the sound and spaced out keys usher in thoughts of simpler times in dance music, moving it beyond mere homage. This heavy hip hop influence is further evident on the title track, with its Q-Tip vocal sample, loops of ‘Now hear this’ and ‘the sounds you are about to hear can be devastating to your ear’ (reminding you of the early 90s hip hop golden days), and a soulful cut up chorus. Really it follows the classic hip hop cut and paste technique, the funky string loop, city call outs, handclaps, ‘instructional’ samples in the vein of Steinski, and general dependence on funk and soul samples. Indeed, ‘Batting for England’ sounds like misshapen brother of (again) Q-Tip’s ‘Manwomanboogie‘(employing the same break and similar slices of 70s guitar).

The albums standouts do go some way to restating Vibert’s case for reconsideration as true pioneer and innovator. ‘De-pimp Act’ is almost entirely constructed out of a bugged out, off-kilter horn sample, warped and spiralling over a 303 beat, complete with bleeps, lasers, whirrs and the sounds of pure electronica. Somewhere in their there is the perfectly captured sound of the Bomb Squad (also sampled) off their tits. ‘Dive and Lie Wrecked’ similarly stands above the rest of the album, with an intro leading you into the false belief that you are in usual Vibert acid territory before it really kicks off with the heavy lo-end warped fuzz, claps, leaning towards being full blown dubstep, but dubstep where something is not quite right. This is Vibert at his best, wonky to the point of beings sideways, coaxing out thick processed sounds with force and elegance, the melodic highs still in place. Elsewhere, ‘Hot Sick’ finds him in classic I Love Acid territory, with that irresistible squelching bass, and ‘Pretty Old Acid Music’ is like Ronseal; it does what it says on the tin.

Its not all as successful though. The vocoder led ‘Square Footage’ fails to carry its momentum anywhere of interest, and ‘Computer Complex’ with its cartoon/comic sampling intro and disconcerting out of synch keys comes across as a MF Doom instrumental fucked so far out of its brain on acid that its leading 70s guitar line is just a synth, which is interesting, but not one for repeat. The back-to-back of ‘Porn Shirtwee’, a twee rave song(?) with some of that trade mark warped synth and a 70s flute sample, and ‘House Stabs’ (house homage with casio), leaves you feeling Vibert might have gone a little to kitsch with his playful homage, which is far from the subversion you may expect.

In the end there is no major stylistic shift, just more of Luke Vibert’s distinct brand of contorted electronica, the hip hop/funk influence prevalent,  blithe as ever (also strangely timeless – or not of a particular time – his records always leaving you unable to really pinpoint their release date – always some vague time in the past), but suffering the same inconsistencies as before. I guess I could wait forever and never see an album delivered where every track is as engrossing as ‘De-pimp Act’ or ‘Dive and Lie Wrecked’, but then that’s sort of the point of Luke Vibert, he’s too busy pissing about and enjoying himself to worry about any sort of legacy, and it wouldn’t be a Vibert album if it took itself too seriously. Autechre he is not, but if you like Vibert this will most definitely keep you satisfied, and perhaps convince you of his consistency (in inconsistency) at the very least.

Luke Vibert - Rhythm

It's impossible to pin down Luke Vibert. Just as he mastered the disco thing (Kerrier District), he delivered Moog Acid, a collaboration with Jean-Jacques Perrey... I would have bet the house that he'd be floating into space now right now working with fractals and worm holes. Instead, he's popped on the Japanese label Soundofspeed with a throwback, feelgood downtempo release that harks back to his Mo Wax releases (Big Soup etc). Checkout: "Wow! It's Now(1), Registrarse(2), Eleventy One(3), Rhythm(4), James Bond In A Jimmy Hat(5)," and "Harmonica Sellers(6)." 11 tracks in all.

Unmistakably drawn from the same headspace as Chicago Detroit Redruth and We Hear You. Some of the sounds from those albums make cameos here. Pretty catchy. Unavailable outside of Japan and Europe.

Few Nolder - New Folder

While most record labels are getting hesitant when it comes to releasing CDs, Planet Mu are currently dishing them out at light speed, with old and new acts sharing this bolt of energy. Enters Linas Strockis, a musician hailing from the Lithuanian capital, Vilnius, who, until last year, had only released a handful of tracks on Lithuanian imprint Partyzanai. In 2008, Strockis, who records under the dyslexic-tinged moniker of Few Nodler, released an EP on Mike Paradinas’s Planet Mu, and it is now time for him to dispatch his debut album.

A somehow rather ambitious and thoroughly eclectic collection, New Folder (get it?) brings together elements of minimal techno, fluid house and lush electro and combines them into very effective compositions. Strockis keeps things simple here, with straightforward linear beats, crisp synths and warm round bass lines, all geared up to carry clever melodies, without falling into clichés and gimmicks. Finding his roots in various eras of the last twenty years and building up from there to develop something fresh and imaginative, Strockis caters for the dance floor, with storming stompers such as the minimal No Mo, El Snig, which features a vocal contribution from local songstress Rut, or Chika, or with the rather more upfront electro Malyska, with its eighties-style synth riff, or the euphoric Top, which builds and builds before finally releasing the tension just before the five minute mark and give it up to the groove. Elsewhere though, he his caught in more meditative mood, as on Pillow, propelled by a hypnotic bass, dreamy synth waves and percussive slabs of electronics, or on the surprisingly soulful Fluttery, which kicks off with vocal flourishes before slipping into a pretty slick groove and gently evolve into a wonderfully sun-drenched tune over its course.

New Folder can initially seem to lack focus and consistence, so different are its various components, but repeat listens highlight the impeccable outlook of this record and its undeniable party tone. Indeed, this album is eclectic, but Linas Strockis juxtaposes genres and moods very cleverly, making this one of the most thoroughly enjoyable electronic records released this year.

Sort of sounds like a cross between Trentemoller and Flying Lotus, I don't know.

No reviews because, well, they're not great (Pitchfork is the only big one I saw in the five seconds I looked). Besides we should really say what we think about it anyways. Well this is Ladyhawk's second release if I'm counting correctly. It's essentially Ladyhawk with more anger (it appear heartbreak has hit their guitarist, as represented in the song "Boy You Got Another Thing Coming"). Instead of fuller rock arrangements most of these six songs are rooted more in acoustic guitar and even piano and you'll notice a significant change from their debut (even if they've already released one more album since then). However even with the change these guys don't disappoint at all. I'd grab this if if you enjoy Silkworm, actually, grab Johnny's Ladyhawk links from a few pages ago, and if you enjoy the band as much as most people I know then grab this too.

http://www.med!afire.com/download.php?wy2t2mf4lut
also here is an awesome album by a really interesting French band, the songs are all in English.  

The deranged debut album by Gablé, 7 Guitars With A Cloud Of Milk, won the band a 'Best New Act' award in French indie bible Les Inrocks. By any conventional standards the album was a whirl of sonic creativity and hair-raising, half-formed ideas - fragmented and unpolished to the core, but an awful lot of fun nonetheless. With I'm OK the group retain their surrealist electro-collaging form, slamming together all manner of different incidental sounds, samples and even the odd passage of brass and cello. The production is well finished, blurring the joins between the various digressions and detours that riddle the album, and the versatility of its assemblage greatly assists the songwriting style - which is all over the place. The album's title track presents a great little pop standout, though halfway through the whole thing breaks down leaving some strange woodpecker noises to soundtrack the singer listing assorted items you might find in a garden shed or something. "I'm really fine, I'm well balanced; I'm OK." the band sing during the chorus. You probably won't believe them.

I have seen that Gossip album in stores for ages now.

Clearly, you live in the future.  Bring me back some of them Dippin' Dots.

Yeah I thought that Gossip record came out at least a month ago. They've already release two singles for it. Is this just an Australia thing? Are we... special? For once?
