Lcd soundsystem-Tribulations-Limited 3 track ep featuring tribulations album version, tigas out of the trace closet mix and lindstom mix, september 2005-12"-Dfa-€4.99

Mars volta-Amputechture-The third studio album from mars volta and the follow up to the totally prog rock sounds of frances the mute, features guest appearance from john frusciante on pretty much every track, the album pretty much takes off from where frances the mute left off, its more mindbending seventies tinged prog rock with guitar solos and psychedelic breakdowns all over the place, throw in some damn fine brass and plenty of hammond organ, these guys are so good at this now that they make the likes of deep purple sound lame, september 2006-Cd-Universal records-€18.99

Mikaelas fiend-We can drive anything-Mikaelas fiend are a drum and guitar two piece on the saf label and this is one hell of a noisy piece of avant garde rock action, its got little bits of early sonic youth, don caballero, shellac and lightning bolt, they dont particularly sound like any of these bands as this is one of the most ferociously original records i have heard in ages, the pounding drums come on at 100 miles an hour and randomly veer off into pulsating freeform jazz at times whilst the heavily distorted guitar buzzsaws away like some devilsh white noise at times, none of the songs have names and they really dont need them as the ablum should be taken in as one entire 40 minute piece, this is one of the most original pieces of avant garde noise i have heard in ages and if you are partial to a bit of lightning bolt then you really really need this in your collection, september 2006-Cd-Saf records-€17.50

Newsom, joanna-Ys-Finally the follow up to the milk eyed mender from 2004, the original recordings of newsom and her harp were made by steve albini with the legendary van dyke parks adding a whole host of orchestration and lush arrangements over the top of it all, the album consists of five long tracks and is the most ambitious thing she has approaced so far, the sounds from the first album are still around with newsoms original song compositions merely bulked up the van dyke parks truly grandiose arrangements, newsoms lyrics read like extended poems or short stories and she has really proven herself as one of the finest songwriters around at the moment, this is one of the most dramatically haunting albums i have heard and does bear some comparisons to the intricate arrangements of the likes of kate bush at times, its already one of my albums of the year, you will see the word opus many times when you read reviews of this album but this truly justifies it already, november 2006-Cd-Drag city-€20.99

North sea and rameses 3-Night of the ankou-London drone outfit rameses 3 teams up with brad rose aka the north sea on this release on the type label, a collection of weird psyce folk drones featuring viola, bouzouki, prayer bells and other odd sounding chimes and scratches, what you end up with is a truly blissful sounding collection of rustic desert soundscapes which calls to mind a kind of acid tinged and warped dirty 3 meets stars of the lid, a truly beautiful piece of music featuring two 18 minute long tracks along with an exclusive remix from xela, august 2006-Cd-Type-€18.99

Si schroeder-Coping mechanisms-The debut album from si schroeder who also was a member of schroeders cat and schroeder sound, features nine tracks of true beauty and is one of the finest irish records to be released this year so far, the album is a seamless blend of mellow lush electronic sounds and sound effects mixed with live guitars, human voices and live drums, if you like schneider tm, postal service etc then you will simply fall head over hells for this collection, hats off to mr schroeder for doing something very new and inventive with laid back electronica, really really superb stuff, may 2006-Cd-Trust me im a thief-€17.50
