The quantity of good new records that have come out so far this year has been completely ridiculous. Up until two weeks ago there was so much it was nearly impossible to keep up with everything. I’m going to try to run down the significant releases from the past few months, hitting you with links…

Epic Post: Late ’09/Early ’10 Record Reviews
My computer being down over the holidays led to a massive backlog in new records that I haven’t had a chance to mention here. Since I finally got the PC up and running again, I’ve been hit with another deluge of new things. And I have at least 15 more new records on their way…
Lerosa – Dual Nature: Cassette Album on Further Records
Generally, we don’t devote entire posts to single releases here at ISM, but I think this one is exceptional and deserves mention all by itself (even with the crazy backlog of records I need to get to!). As you most likely know, we have been big supporters of Lerosa since the beginning of this blog….
Polls from ’09 and the ’00s….
The end of ’09 also brought the end of the irritatingly unnamed decade of the ’00s. In the two previous years writing on this blog I have not had any sort of rhyme or reason to my year end wrap-up posts, and since I’m already almost a month late I’m not about to start now….
Some music I enjoyed this year…
Yes, one would think I’d have something better to do on Christmas Eve than be sitting in front of my computer compiling lists but sadly I’m working over this year’s festive season – though obviously I’ve not actually got a lot of proper work to do as such, but I still gotta sit here nevertheless….
New Records: Everyday House Music
It’s been a damn good year for records so far; the fact that I keep posting up these epic reviews columns every couple of weeks is testimony to that. Insanity. Let’s get this one started! Back when I visited Chicago in the spring, the best discovery I made was Beautiful Granville Records. Specifically, I picked…
New Records and A Couple Other Things
The ill new records flow continues…. Some of these records will be familiar to you if you read ISM-writer Kenny’s reviews column over at the Bodytonic site. It’s good to see him becoming more of a house head, but at the same time he may need to quit biting my style đŸ˜‰ Anyway, this edition…
Yo Derrick, What the fuck?
And so it has come to be. Some of us never thought it would happen but low and behold Derrick May has finally brought Transmat back into the fold. Actually, it has been an interesting time in techno of late regards a couple of other older labels. Robert Hood has relaunched his seminal M-Plant label,…
So Many Good Records I Don’t Know What To Do
It may seem a bit silly to use a CD cover as the image for a record review post, and even sillier to lead off that post with a review of said CD. However, this is how it is going to be done. I am not against purchasing CDs, no matter how much some people…
Some more records…
Tom’s post has made me get my arse in gear to post about a few of my own summer record purchases. I most likely could have done this ages ago as I’m focusing on 2nd hand buys, many of which were got on my trip to Chicago and Detroit all the way back in May…
