Psychedelic rhythmic, even industrial rock wouldn't come to mind when thinking about Portishead, but add a dark feel or tone and it immediately becomes a bit clearer that the band I'm talking about didn't loose what made them great. Portishead members reunite with a conceptually more ...

M83 – Saturdays = Youth
As an M83 listener you might be a little disappointed at first that Saturdays = Youth doesn't sound as big or "epic" as Before the Dawn Heals Us. I had that same feeling for half a listen. Like Stereogum says, that shit is plenty epic. Even the P4kers like it, they call it the vertical push ...

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” •

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.

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