so, to summarise ..

hello.

normally i feel in control of ireallylovemusic. however, recently the postman has been filling my letterbox to the point of extreme chaos.

so today i have listened to and written up quite a few singles that are shopward bound : cherubs, clap your hands, orson, hardkandy, the boy least likely to, lenny kravitz, little man tate, the modern etc etc

some good record amongst them i must say.

as for albums in the pile, here's a list of records that i happen to reckon are rather good :

battles - ep c/b ep - weird jazz-rock-groove stuff on warp. beautiful packaging. not for the easily scared.

prefuse 73 - surrounded by silence - another day, another p73 release! more of the same fucked up laptop maniupulation. lots of lifted speeches from film/radio, but a lot of beauty amongst the random playful noise. out now on warp

laura veirs - year of meteors - great singer songwriter music with plenty of subtle production touches lift this out of mor hell. beautiful.

feedle - leave now for adventure - new release on the budding svc records. if you like prefuse 73, four tet and pedro. then you will love this. seriously.

hardkandy - last to leave - mellow grooves that would chill out the most hardened of funk loving souls, with added dubby bass lines and cinematic production. a headphone classic.

mogwai - mr. beast - not heard anything prior to this so can't compare which will annoy those who believe mogwai to be something rather special. i will admit that at first i was not impressed, but then as my mood changed i began to fall under the spell. painfully beautiful matched against walls of noise.

some of these will be reviewed properly, but in the meantime consider yourself informed !

onwards
