Apparat - Goodbye
Apparat - Song Of Los: The Devil's Walk isn't perfect, but you're in to the moodier lulling electronic of the 2nd half of Apparat's career, it does a great job of continuing in that vein. There are a number of really great standouts for fans of pop-era Morr Music.
Automotive - Khapoor
Automotive - Klezmer: Solid productions from the Khapoor EP, returns us to an error where the instruments and mood of a piece can really shine, like early Xploding Plastix and Amon Tobin.
Awesome Force - Priglashenya (live)
Deadbeatblast - Chiptunes In Toronto Track 1 (live): I really wasn't expecting much. I sift through a tonne of muisc that I don't expect much from. But holy shit, Chiptunes In Toronto blew me away. This album has sets by these two artists and 8-bit synthesis is just beyond compare. Seriously addictive and highly recommended.
Class Actress - Love Me Like You Used To
Class Actress - Weekend: Who likes pop? Who likes synths? Who likes a sweet chanteuse? Yes, Rapprocher is indeed for you. The album is bursting with pop goodness that will sound like a about-fricking-time Ladytron revival. Recommend for: bread baking kitchen dance parties.
Daniel Sex Jr. - Debbie Zen: I love the clunking beats that remind me of my favourite Freescha tracks.
Danny Brown - Brown Eyes: There's something kind of just messy about this track that is really appealing.
Eskmo - Cloudlight: More post-Tobin cinematic clunky bass. Crank up that sub and get queasy!
John Denver - Country Roads (Pretty Lights Remix): Little known fact: I am a big John Denver fan! Dude was sweet. While this song could do with being half the length, I'll take what I can get. Get down get busy.
Labyrinth Ear - Amber: Lovely chilled out pop, drenched in layers of twinklesynth. Love love love.
St. Vincent - Cruel: Another great single from Strange Mercy. I really have to go listen to the full thing one day soon...
The Belle Comedians - Fewer Lights: From the whirled intro synth you know this will be earnest and ecstatic fun. From the new album Autumn Ought To...
The Horrors - Changing The Rain
The Horrors - Still Life: Remember when I was kind of simultaneously blown away and overwhelmed by the last The Horrors album? No? Well I was. But this time they've toned down the edge and put out an incredible rock/pop record that still has some grit and flourish, but is totally digestible and should cross over in a big way. "Skying" will appeal to mopey brit rock fans and Canadian indieheads alike. Recommended!
Young Galaxy - We Have Everything (Blue Hawaii Buh Buh Remix): Did I mention I loved Young Galaxy and their fabulous new album Shapeshifting? Well it's true, and lucky for me there is a number of excellent remixes out there.
