Long overdue, yes?
01. Ezekiel Honig - Surfaces of a Broken Marching Band
What an album. Full of found sound, musique concrète, and drone music, this album from the New York native paints a beautiful picture. Certainly a contender for album of the year.
02. Move D and Benjamin Brunn - New Horizon
Continues what came before on 'Songs from the Beehive', but in a more uptempo direction. Another notch in the belt of solid releases from Smallville.
03. Pigon - Kamm
Third release on Beatstreet after the immense "Somelightuntothenight" set high expectations. Pigon deliver with a tense and nervous cut, miles away from the laid back "Promises" of last year.
04. Ricardo Villalobos - Skinfummel
Everything else on Vasco was released some time ago so this is the only new cut to me, and yet its possibly my favorite on the CD. Really deep and odd with similar snaps to "Andruic", the warped vocal that permeates the track confuses me as much as it puts a big grin on my face.
05. Deadbeat - Roots and Wire
DUB. Bookended by tracks with vocals by Paul St. Hillaire (the last one being straight up reggae), this album combines Rhythm and Sound with dubstep and Berghain techno to produce a massive sounding album. "Grounation" has tribal drums that destroy everything around them while Kreuzberg Ghosts has those ever-pleasing echodelays.
06. Guillaume and the Coutu Dumonts - I Was On My Way To Hell
07. Efdemin - America
08. SCSI-9 - Easy as Down
09. John Roberts - Hesitate
10. Minilogue - Snake Charmer
