Primary Colours

THE HORRORS – PRIMARY COLOURS

Primary Colours is The Horrors’ first album for XL. Produced by Geoff Barrow (Portishead) and Chris Cunningham (Aphex Twin, Bjork), Primary Colours is reminiscent of Echo & the Bunnymen, Jesus and Mary Chain, the Chameleons, Joy Division, and lots of other great stuff that I like!

MISS KITTIN AND THE HACKER - TWO

Miss Kittin (Caroline Herve) and the Hacker (Michel Amato) met in Grenoble in the early 90s. Their first collaborative album, FIRST ALBUM, helped to spawn the electro-pop movement. The duo has now reunited for the aptly named TWO on Kittin's own label, Nobody’s Bizzness.

Balkan Beat Box Remixed

BALKAN BEAT BOX – NU MADE (REMIXES)

Balkan Beat Box is steeped with an intense lifetime of research into their own non-Western roots as well as other cultures. A quasi-circus event, they perform with a core of 6 musicians, collaborating with artists from Bulgaria, Morocco, Spain, Israel, and Turkey who draw on a variety of styles from around the world. Their latest offering is a collection of remixes from their most recent album, “Nu Med.”

Early Works For Me If It Works For You 2

DNTEL – EARLY WORKS FOR ME IF IT WORKS FOR YOU II

Dntel is a solo electronic project from Jimmy Tamborello, who is probably better known as half of The Postal Service. “Early Works For Me if It Works For You II” is a three CD set compiling the first two DNTEL releases on Phthalo (remastered), as well as a third disc of unreleased material, composed slightly before the third Dntel album, “Life is Full of Possibilities,” was released on Plug Research.
