My first Dubstep purchase.

EMIKA - 'Emika'

Very impressive debut, I must say. The bass is deep.

Here's 'Double Edge' with it's lush ambience that reminds me of The Human League's 'Dreams Of Leaving' 1min 45 secs in.

This live version of 'Pretend' was no.1 top tune of 2011 on the website Electronically Yours. Which is how I became aware of her music.

Yes. Formerly of The Icicle Works. Great album as are all his solo releases. I was a big fan of The Icicle Works too. "Rapids" is a classic.

David Sylvian - A Victim of Stars

An excellent singles collection as such. New song "Where's Your Gravity? is good but I won't agree with other comments elsewhere that it's David back to his best. A bit disappointed that the title track wasn't included.

Dead Bees On A Cake an amazing album! Incidentally The Only Daughter on Victim Of Stars, is it meant sound like a skipping CD or have I got a duff disk?

Having a listen to Kraftwerk's "Computer World".

Madonna - Greatest Hits Vol. 2
- 90s electronica hits the mainstream.

Graham Parker time again for Ivan

HOWLING WIND

Burial; Kindred 12”

I recently ripped my Weatherbox CDs and did a comparision with the remasters and, blimey – there is a difference. Although quieter, the Weatherbox editions are much warmer.

I’ve been ill in bed with manflu most of the week so there are few things I’d get out of bed for, but a certain record shop in Soho tweeting they’ve got 100 of the new Burial 12” was one of them.

Sub-titled ’12-minute symphony No.1’ – Kindred is recognizably Burial but significantly the softer edges and warmer tones that he’s gleaned from working with Four-Tet are there too – almost. Buried (apologies) perhaps, but they are there. Doesn’t prepare however for the B-Side Ashtray Wasp – it’s…well…it’s…the bleakest most uplifting House tune you’ll hear in a long time (Bleak House? “What the Dickens!” etc…)
