When you thought the time of reminiscence was over, here’s one more for ya. After the fact again but not defying logic by releasing when the year is actually over. In a non-reversed order for your viewing pleasure, this is a non-profit non-judgmental blog anyways. Two things to note though. ...

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 ...
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 ...
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. ...

Hudson Mohawke – Polyfolk Dance EP
Hudson already has a status larger than his musical releases but this eclectic, diverse and focussed piece is impressive. Local readers can pick it up at Mac Fly store.
Deerhunter – Microcastle
I recently read a comment about Microcastle and the guy said that it sounds like a dream. I think that's the perfect way to describe my intuitive awareness. You could say that this is more of an ambient sounding record, drowning in 60's pop and garage influences. But even though the songs are ...

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.

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.
