BOTTIN
"Horror disco"
Bottin
is producer, dj and sound designer based in Venice, Italy. Bottin makes
music only an Italian can make...probably. Take a youth spent against
a background of old Italian Giallo soundtracks, add in late 70s Italian
disco influences, a touch of free and easy west-coast vibe and a smattering
of kitsch.

BIG
PINK
"A brief history of love"
A
Brief History of Love is the debut album from The Big Pink. Big blessed
out beats, opaque guitar noise and achingly sweet melody. Imagine Teardrop
Explodes being played by My Bloody Valentine whilst Suicide man the
mixing desk.

VLADISLAV
DELAY
"Tummaa"
Finnish
composer Sasu Ripatti returns in late summer with Tummaa, his first
album as Vladislav Delay since 2007’s Whistleblower. The new album
marks a significant shift in emphasis in this acclaimed musician’s
work, reflecting a renewed interest in jazz and acoustic performance:
Tummaa is far more organic and live-sounding than anything he’s
done before. [theleaflabel]

Tthe
the fourth solo release from Tim Friese-Greene. Since leaving the ambit
of Talk Talk in 1992, Tim has recorded two albums as Heligoland, but
this is the first to be released under his own name. "It didn't
seem right for it to be a Heligoland album," he explains. "It
is too singular."

ROBERT
HENKE
"Indigo transform"
E
cosa viene in mente a Robert Henke di usare per generare un accompagnamento
ambientale per un'opera d'arte dedicata allo scorrere dell'acqua, realizzata
in una fabbrica abbandonata nell'estremo e disabitato Nord della Svezia?
Prende Indigo, ultima traccia di un suo cd del 2001 a nome Monolake,
la 'trasforma' e la espande fino alla durata di 60 minuti. Di tranquillità.

ANDREW
WEATHERALL
"A pox on the pioneers"
Il
primo album per Andrew, deejay e musicista che non dovrebbe aver bisogno
di presentazione. Comunque sia, se cosi non fosse, Sabres of Paradise
e Two Lone Swordsmen erano farina del suo sacco, come pure la produzione
dell'album Screamadelica dei Primal Scream.

YO
LA TENGO
"Popular songs"
The
new album could be the bravest musical statement to date in a career
full of ‘em. Recorded in Hoboken and Nashville in early 2009 Popular
Songs finds the trio of Georgia, Ira and James at the height of their
creative powers, fashioning an epic work that’s cooly confident
as it is wildly adventurous (matador).
