One I've been listening & enjoying most these past few weeks is
Múm - "Finally we are no-one" - On fatcat, icelandic and somewhere between the new Sigur-Ros & Björk(ish)? Beautifully delicate & intricate melodies, clicks, burps & jingles from synths with brass parps & drones. A real grower.

Capitol K - "Island Row" - Apparently a remix LP but saw them live last year supporting Fridge & this record is q. similar if I remember right? On XL Recordings, loadsa nice trippy electronics & beats with freaky FX guitars all over the shop. One track reminds me of old Dinosaur Jr or Flaming Lips but with electro-beats?

Royksopp - "Melody A.M." - an Xmas pressie, still think the first track (used on some mobile ad in the summer) with breakbeaty/chant hook is the best. That guy must LOVE the 400 frequency!

Bark Psychosis - "Game Over" - found this compilation goin' cheap. They bypassed me at the time but I can't work out why. There's some real formidable 8-20 min wig-outs, big expansive sound, mostly v. mellow but they sure as hell can Rock when the mood takes 'em.

Primal Scream - "Evil Heat" - Some interesting moments, notably Sick City stomp-rockin'. Still can't top Vanishing Point, fer me though.

Ochre 7 Festival - Compilation of tracks from different Ochre bands inc. a brilliant one by Applecraft (feat. Mooneye), Yellow 6, Land of Nod & an hilarious Richard Clayderman-esque moment from Skyray.

Various other compilations & samplers, for some reason always featuring the Delgados, & tracks off "Hate". Not bad, but not really too amazin' either.

I'm sure there's been more but that's all fer now,folks!
