Police Academy 6 – Police Academy 6 (S/T)
In the larger landscape of electronic music, artists and albums are getting smaller. The actual size and quality of these albums stays the same yet the availability of high end equipment combined with the channels of the internet widens the pool of available artists. It would be one thing if...
The Time And Space Machine – Turns You On
Yes. This is exactly what I wanted. A re-edit is much like a remix. A remix rewrites the song as oppose to a re-edit which merely re-organizes sections. The re-edit is less common than the remix as it usually does not work with popular and recognizable songs. Re-edits are harder...
Daft Punk – R3C0NF1GUR3D
Despite the cries of critics, I thought Daft Punk’s Tron Legacy OST was alright. In fact, during a time when that album was on constant rotation and seamlessly fit into every aspect of my life, I even gave it an above average rating. Christmas that year was nothing but Daft...
Burial – Street Halo & Burial – Ego / Mirror
Do you remember when Burial exploded across the stratosphere leaving a trail of mysterious residue streaked against the sky? I do. It was between the years 2006 and 2008 when the mysterious producer released a handful of critically acclaimed albums, Eps and remixes. Burial’s popularity coincided with the rise of...

LCD Soundsystem played their last ever show on April 2nd at Madison Square Garden. Emotional, admirable, a very long gig – it came across as all of these things. James Murphy deserves credit for actually quitting while he was ahead, and hanging up the LCD moniker at a time when...

I feel that I’ve listened to more Animal Collective side projects in the last year than the sum of Animal Collective albums during my entire life. Is this the year of animals? It also doesn’t help the band’s reputation makes up a sizable portion of the runs indie rock /...
Explosions In the Sky – Take Care, Take Care, Take Care
Foreword My college years were spent learning laughing, loving and listening to post rock albums. It is true, I listened to other things but if plotted out in a pie chart, post rock would take up a sizable portion. The post rock years also overlapped with a rudimentary audiophile phase...
James Blake – James Blake (S/T)
This review of British beatmaker James Blake’s debut album actually arrives rather tardily. It was released roughly three weeks ago, and I’ve actually spent much longer listening to it. 38.1 minutes of music, according to iTunes. So why the delay? Firstly, James Blake is definitely an acquired taste, and one...
