'Impossible', because shipping takes time ...

Flitting between tracks from Ladytron, Vitalic, Muse’s Resistance album, Chrome, and Moon Duo’s brilliant Escape album, but this week has been dominated by one album in particular –

Desire: II

A collaboration and a change of pace from members of the Italians Do It Better label, of which I’m not entirely sold on their other albums, but I had to buy this fantastic release of last year. Since getting it last weekend I’ve been completely smitten, playing it over and over like a love-struck teenager lost in music. It’s a fairly minimal electro affair of synth, piano, strings and guitar creating a laid back atmosphere that transports you to a post-disco state of mind, pondering love’s up’s and downs, rather than stepping out onto a dancefloor.

Its sublime Shangri-La style singing is delivered in a world-weary manner, set against a gently pulsing beat with romantic orchestrated overtones. High points are: Don’t Call, Oxygene, and the truly beautiful Under Your Spell, amazing, if only all pop were this good, it’s definitely my album of the moment.

'Metatronic'


The whole package is a work of art.

Big ilektrik air-hug to all involved.

MWAH!

The Omnidelic Exoskeleton

Ooh...

I'll second (third, fourth nth) that.

Caught up with Metatronic in HMV myself today and agree that it looks fab!!

Haven't read the sleevenotes yet Garry, but you must feel great knowing your work is out there in the High Street.
Thoroughly well-deserved

Incidentally, I think HMV Southampton has set a new record for Foxx albums in stock.
Today there were copies of Metamatic, IMW, TGS, The Garden, Mirrorball, My Lost City, Glimmer and Modern Art.
That's NINE albums IN A SHOP

I have dreamed of this...

Quiet Life - Japan. Vintage 1979 - it does not sound 31 years old!!

Floating back to days of "no worries" as a kid.
