Estel-The bones of something-Estel have been hinting at some really great things over the course of three previous albums but i have to say this new album has taken a giant step for them, they have truly honed their instrumental synth led sounds into something altogether original and highly entertaining, they take in some elements of the modern post rock sounds, some eighties keyboard led sounds and even some strange mutated version of a b movie horror soundtrack, the end result is one of the finest irish records of the year so far in my humble opinion and its always such a pleasure when something comes along and leaves me at odds to even try and describe on paper, there are lots of repetitive and explosive guitar led pieces slowly mutating into catchy synth chord progressions, the legendary mike watt of minutemen fame makes a sublime spoken word appearence on track four and after that all i can do is highly recommend you at least have a listen to this record as you will be very pleasantly surprised, the album is released on their own label little plastic tapes, november 2006-Cd-Little plastic tapes-€11.99

My morning jacket-Okonokos-21 track live album from my morning jacket, the album was recorded live at the legendary filmore in san francisco, i have to say i am not a big fan of live albums so a double live album kinda scared me at first but it really does work for these guys, the first thing to blow me away was how amazingly soulful jim james vocals are live, his voice sounds truly stunning, the second thing to turn me on to this album was just how explosive and noisy these guys can be live compared to their studio recordings, the album is based in a warped rootsy american rock with layer upon layer of heavy guitars floating around over a truly heavy rhythm section, i have really grown to love this album as i had forgotten how bloody good this band are, november 2006-Cd-Ato records-€19.99

Roots tonic meets bill laswell-Roots tonic meets bill laswell-A new collaboration between the legendary producer and bass player bill laswell and matisyahus backing band, its not often that i get the use the words modern dub reggae and very very good in the same sentence but i have to admit i am loving this release at the moment, its full of modern digital dub sounds blended with some really high quality old style live sounds with josh werner on bass, aaron dugan on guitars and johan david on drums, laswell truly knows his way around a quality dub reggae mix and his studio skills are really in great form on this album, there are many moments on this album when you really do think you are listening to some long lost classic dub record from 20 years ago, the production is truly sublime and there is not too much of the modern synth sounds to ruin it, the great lee perry would be proud of this, november 2006-Lp-Roir-€13.99

Spencer dickinson-The man who lives for love-A collaboration between jon spencer and north mississippi allstar members luther and cody dickinson, the album is a real sleazy trip through some dirty low down mississippi blues influeced sounds with heaps of slide guitars and low down hammond organ sounds, its not quite as abrasive as the blues explosion but it sure makes up for it with laid back bluesy sleaze, the album was recorded by the legendary jim dickinson in his zebra ranch studios in memphis and you can really hear the influence this had on the band, features a damn fine cover of junior kimbroughs track free aswell, absolutely superb old style mississippi blues rock, november 2006-Cd-Yep roc-€19.99

Tall firs-Tall firs-Tall firs are a new york based three piece now signed to thurston moores ecstatic peace label, this is a lovely and rather mellow collection of post rock meeting free folk and folk rock, there are moments when the repetitive guitar phases remind me of the quiter parts of mogwai which then slowly blends into something akin to a folky velvet underground, the end result is something very very original and an album of very intimate warm sounds, november 2006-Cd-Ecstatic peace-€16.99

Venetian snares-Hospitality-Six track mini album from aaron funk aka venetian snares on the planet mu label, the king of gameboy techno meets ultra fast breakcore throws in a bit of lush classical string samples just to confuse us all for the first two minutes of this release, you think he has gone off in a new direction until the heavily distorted and disjointed beats kick in and then all gets back to normal, try to imagine aphex twin playing come to daddy whilst suffering from some branch of attention deficit disorder, yet again mr funk provides some of the most abstract electronic non dancefloor sounds, november 2006-Lp-Planet mu-€14.99
