It's strange Brooklyn based hiphop producer/mc/label owner El-P is still being introduced as a former Company Flow member (see what i did there). Agreed 97's Funcrusher was a groundbreaking album and a jumpstart into his own underground hiphop movement, but I personally think that the man accomplished more throughout his solo career. I remember calling him a revolutionary beat smith on my 2007 favorite albums list. As progressive I’ll Sleep When You’re Dead was then, the more ...
Health – Disco2
Health is an experimental noise rock band with a big focus on delivering a distinct mostly conceptual sound. They've been praised for that and if lately you've spent some time on The Hype Machine or any mp3 blog, you know that Health is a common remixee (if you will). This release sees every track of their acclaimed Get Color album reworked by well established remix artists in various styles of electronica, but surprisingly left a pretty coherent piece that's easily played in one setting. Nothing but fun here, with the right amount of eclectic that makes this the perfect driving ...
Caribou – Swim
Canadian Dan Snaith isn't as much an innovator as he is a progressor. Whether it's his previous psych pop spectacle, Andorra, or condensed organic electronica through his Manitoba releases, he knows what works, what needs to be explored and built upon. It's no secret that my adoration for the Caribou/Manitoba repertoire is strong, more so, even after nearly 8 continuous listens I'm confident to say Swim will be a much proclaimed favorite of 2010. Conceptually the so-called Phd mathematician is always consistent and this release is no exception. The album opens with the powerful ...
Four Tet – There is Love in You
Five years seems like a lot in music. Back in 04-05, when IDM was still considered a sole genre in electronic music, when the Ninja Tune label was still notorious for its great releases and when eclectic electronic music was still indie as ever, there were a few artists that could do no wrong. That were legendary composers in my book. Among these were much underrated Boards of Canada, Amon Tobin and Four Tet. After a 5 year (hiatus) with sporadic remixes, EP's, mixes and collaborative efforts with legendary jazz drummer Steve Reid, Kieran Hebden's fifth full length finally sees the light ...

How To Dress Well – “Lover’s start”
Highly anticipated lo-fi artist How To Dress Well brought this suiting footage of late great Belgian singer/songwriter Jacques Brel. It’s a climax in 1971 film Franz, but works just as well here.

How to Dress Well, “Suicide Dreams 2 (Spirituals RMX)”
I’m lovin the jazz infused electronica of Spirituals‘ debut a lot, but this cutting and stitching remix is glorious.

Mark Ronson feat. Q-Tip and MNDR – “Bang Bang Bang”
Even though retro is the new cool, I really enjoy the song and visuals. As Q-Tip says best “Keep it funky y’all”, as he does.

A complete waste of time. Worst movie of the year so far.

It's a little easy to evoke emotion when almost a whole Sigur Rós album is playing in the background. Despite that, it's a good parenting film, but there just isn't anything in it for me.

Astounding piece of imagination (and not forget sci-fi logic). Nolan is a master at creating suspense and never breaking away from that bomb-rushing moment. I do think it could have been beneficial if the movie was a half hour shorter or there was more character development, but I really was blown away.

"Training Day" director delivers in dark aesthetic but fails to give me any sort of drama or heartfelt emotion. Big talk with very little content.
