Everything That Happens Will Happen Today

BRIAN ENO & DAVID BYRNE – EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENS WILL HAPPEN TODAY

27 years after the groundbreaking “My Life In the Bush of Ghosts,” Brian Eno and David Byrne have reunited for a second collaborative album. This time around, the legendary duo have recorded what they call a “gospel-folk-electronic” album. Eno says of his gospel-influenced progressions, “I use modes and chords that are easy to follow and harmonize with. I want music to be inviting, to offer the listener a place inside it. I think David responded to this with sensitivity and skill, and his natural edginess made those familiar progressions sound new to me once again.”

DEADMAU5 – RANDOM ALBUM TITLE
In less than a year, Canadian based Joel Zimmerman, a.k.a. deadmau5, has gone from near obscurity to being touted as Producer Of The Year and becoming the number one selling artist on Beatport. Using both analog synths and computer-based programming, deadmau5 creates his own unique brand of Progressive House and Trance.

Skeletal Lamping

OF MONTREAL – SKELETAL LAMPING
It seems most music critics are in agreement about their dislike of the new Of Montreal album – it’s too frenetic, too random, too densely layered. The songs don’t make any sense, switching in the middle to a completely different idea. Even the lyrics are “schizophrenic,” written from the point of view of Kevin Barnes’ alterego, Georgie Fruit. The funny thing is, those are all the reasons why I like the album so much, and consider it equal to or better than the critically-exalted “Hissing Fauna.”

Blood, Looms and Blooms

LEILA – BLOOD LOOMS AND BLOOMS
When Warp signed London-based Iranian DJ, musician, and producer Leila Arab, it was a smart choice for a label that has always successfully supported progressive electronic music with pop sensibilities. “Blood, Looms and Blooms” fits this theme well while exploring sonic ground that sets it apart from its contemporaries. Featuring vocals from former Tricky partner Martina Topley-Bird, Specials frontman Terry Hall, and others, this album fuses the personalities of its varied guests with an adventurous palette of sound. The combination lifts the music off familiar ground, revealing Leila as an artist unafraid to take risks.
