Architecture In Helsinki – Places Like This

I don't think there's any band that has as much fun as Architecture In Helsinki has. The six headed Australian indie pop group in known for their eclectic over-the-top feel-good musical style. Although I like their previous album In Case We Die more, Places Like This delivers more song ...

Aphex Twin Mashups & Pet Sounds

Some say mash-up artists are "talentless hacks", unrightfully that is. Technically every song can be mashed, but choosing the right theme and executing a good mash-up is as hard as mixing a good dj-set, and we don't call them talentless, do we? How ill is Aphex Twin with the beats? I've been ...

Kieran Hebden and Steve Reid – Tongues

I like a good percussion project from time to time, and did I love Post rock band Tortoise's Bumps project at Stonesthrow from a few months back. Time for something new, actually Tongues is not a new release either but I never really got a chance to listen to it closely. Kieran Hebden, ...

Múm – Go Go Smear the Poison Ivy

Múm is an Icelandic musical group which brings a very chaotic and unpredictable, yet melodic style of experimental electronica. This is Múm's first release after the departure of singer and founding member, Kristín Anna Valtýsdóttir, to compensate the band added a couple to make it a 7 ...

  Nosaj Thing – “Us (Jon Hopkins Remix)” •
  
  Jon Hopkins’ take on Us, featured on Drift Remixed, is a lot more aggressive. The video flows through the slaughter, preparation and devouring of a meal as its high point. The cleaning in heavenly light as its downfall. Great concept as the video perfectly aligns with the ambiance of the song.

  Massive Attack – “Atlas Air” •
  
  Massive Attack videos are exactly like their music. Dark, uncompromising in style with attitude and a slightly offset integrity. Serves as a prequel to the marvelous “Splitting the Atom” video.

The Kids Are All Right (2010)

A warm satisfying piece of lightly imposed drama. A joy to watch.

I’m Still Here (2010)

The documentary felt a little monotonous , the cut and paste style could be more refined. I missed some sort of moral, but the mockumentary in itself was pretty fun.

Black Swan (2010)

Super intense melodramatic film making by one of my favs. It’s a scary nightmare condensed in one epic tale.

Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga’Hoole (2010)

It’s too much of a kids film for me to enjoy, but the animation and cinematography looks gorgeous which makes up for a lot.
