Works now, don't know why it didn't before

[StaedlerMars]

Seriously good shoegaze. Take the fuzzy guitars of My Bloody Valentine and the weird electronics of Black Moth Super Rainbow, mix, and add dreamy female vox.

Sold.

Blonde Redhead - 23 (2007)

Passe' to many of you , who were all over this years ago, but for the rest: Fuzzy layered guitars, synths, wispy (as opposed to dreamy) vocals from a teeny Asian woman. I am truly frightened/mesmerized by the title song about the singer's near-death experience which left her hospitalized for months (track #1). The rest is good too...

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"

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.

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.

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.

Spiritualized - Ladies & Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space (Deluxe Edition) ~ Mp3 V0

Disc 3 - http://www.mediafire.com/?3ml2amvtd2y

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.

In which Mr. Davis takes a piece composed for classical guitar, and translates to muted trumpet, with a minimalist orchestral backing. Delicious but also high in protein. This is among the highest-quality "chill-out" music I've heard.

Local Natives - Gorilla Manor

When people are comparing you to Grizzly Bear, Fleet Foxes, Arcade Fire, and Vampire Weekend, big things are coming. Local Natives are a young five-piece out of Los Angeles, with Gorilla Manor being their incredible debut effort. The first thing that caught my attention was their intricate song structure, front to back with big and small transitions. Look out for the percussion throughout, especially in the opening track, “Wide Eyes”, really fun and interesting beats. Their debut is already out in the UK, but is being released in the US on February 16 courtesy of Frenchkiss. Local Natives will be touring Europe to support their album out there, but expect a North American tour once Gorilla Manor gets released in the US.

Perry Leopold - Experiment In Metaphysics (1970)

I am generally a fan of unknown relics of the hippie era, but even more so when they are actually good:

Experiment in Metaphysics is one of the rarest and most sought-after artifacts of the hippie era. Recorded live during a five-hour session in the basement of a shoe-repair shop in June of 1970, most of the 300 original copies of Experiment in Metaphysics were simply given away in one afternoon, yet, inexplicably, bootleg copies of the album later sprang up half-way around the world. The reason for the album's staying power is apparent: the music is gorgeous, first-rate progressive folk. In fact, Side Two of the original LP's label was given the title "Acid-Folk" (the other side was called "Kommercial"), probably one of the very first uses of that term. Perry Leopold creates a proto-gothic ambience full of dark and brooding imagery that is much less cartoonish than most of what passes as "acid," while maintaining that music's visceral punch. Experiment in Metaphysics is exquisitely intelligent and forward-looking. Leopold's mood is much more pious than most music that came out of the psychedelic era, and, indeed, extreme piety tends to be a product of youth, yet there is something aged and wise about Leopold's music. The "Kommercial" side, cryptically subtitled "SMOKE," is conceptually bleak, and after "The Absurd Paranoid," it takes on a much more palpable quality, grounded in experience ("Cold in Philadelphia" and the gorgeous "The 35th of May"). The "Acid-Folk" side (subtitled "DROP") opens with the stark, multi-part title track. Each of the three songs in this section is a virtual mini-suite, with the closing cut, "The U.S.S. Commercial," standing as the album's magnum opus. Experiment in Metaphysics shows some truly progressive and experimental songwriting, even for the time period. Each song, even the instrumental cuts, feels like a story, with beginnings and endings and all kinds of interesting ideas and storylines sandwiched in between. The album is a relic that has not lost one iota of its power.
