When I first saw Emeralds play live at Unsound back in 2010 my friends and I couldn’t help but notice their performance dynamics. On the right you had the stoic keyboardist, in the middle the pretty boy guitarist with his expressive licks and hair flicking and, most amusingly, on the left, with his back turned…
Review
All posts from the 'Review' category
Some new(ish) records I should have posted about at least a month ago.
Things have been super slack around here of late and it sorta seems like an odd time for me to be doing a records post as I’ve had possibly my quietest month for record purchases in many a year, but it’s also been a while since I’ve talked about any so there is some stuff…
Juju & Jordash – live/sex
That title may sound a lil off putting but please don’t be. The Isreali duo have been doing a bunch of live shows of late taking in a few European cities and the US. I’m still to have the pleasure of catching them do their ting but they’ve started recording shows and have placed 2…
Records: Underground Resistance, GB, Versalife
Timeline – Greystone Ballroom / Mark Flash – King of Light While one can’t say that they ever really went away, there is a sense in certain quarters (those that sat up and took notice) that these latest 12″‘s have been somewhat of a return for the aging kingpins of Detroit techno. This is the…
Label Profile: Emotional Rescue/Response
Its great to be able to give a shout out to a new South London label from some people I have a lot of respect for. A little like busses, two are coming along at the same time. Emotional Rescue and Emotional Response. I’m starting to get very excited about some of the releases coming…
Pipecock’s Top Tracks of 2011
Since I am feeling very agitated by damn near every year-end list I’ve seen so far (with Little White Earbuds’ top tracks of 2011 list being by far the least offensive!), and my lack of RA contributions this year meaning I didn’t have to compile a list for them (giving me an easy copy and…
Drexciya – Journey Of The Deep Sea Dweller 1
A few months ago Clone got the worldwide electronic community foaming at the mouth with the announcement that there would be new Drexciya re-issues on the way. First off were a few 12s that Clone had already released or re-issued themselves before, leaving us wonder when they’d be pulling out the big guns or if…
Oneohtrix Point Never – Replica
Last year’s Returnal album was a pretty enjoyable if far from earth shattering release from Daniel Lopatin and while it’s somewhat of a given that he’d have to pull something pretty incredible out of the bag to ever top his Rifts compilation, I was still intrigued to see what he’d offer up this time. Opener…
Record Review: Innergaze
I thought I would try and put out a record review as there are quite a lot of new records out there getting me a bit excited at the moment. It’s a little hard to know where to start as there are so many coming out at the moment that I’m into. I came across…
Shawn Rudiman and Claude Young Live In Pittsburgh 9-10-11
Pittsburgh has been off the hook this year!
