Neu!: Neu!

£18.00

Quantity

Neu! was recorded over four days in Hamburg in 1972 with can producer Conrad Plank, and its static, aggressive harmonies and almost (but not quite) robotic sound still has a resonance that echoes even today. As any musician from Add N to X to Sonic Youth, from Stereolab to Cabaret Voltaire could tell you, early '70s Dusseldorf band Neu! were one third of the original triumvirate - alongside Can and Faust- that defined Krautrock

Autechre: Tri Repetae

£26.00

Quantity

Sweeping soundscapes full of nature, brightness and light this is not. but then Autechre have always specialised in the darker, deeper, flip-side of ambience. They make music for hanging teddy bears to. music for winter Tri Repetae is packed full of unsettling, skin-crawling music. the most danceable tracks, like Eutow, constantly threaten to fall in on themselves, collapsing under the weight of the twisted sounds and the screeching architecture of their constructions Gnit sounds like the negative image of a jungle track, silent where there should be thudding drums and filled with noise where there should be quiet. Autechre have moved up from their lo-fi origins, but their sounds are still sticky-fingered, investigating the depths of their machines. Their tampering with noise and texture must drive those little people who live inside of computers and operate them (you remember the numbskulls, don't you?) stark, raving nuts, or as Autechre would probably put it, gnutz 2LP - Widespine sleeve with download card and bonus live set

Daft Punk: Discovery

Sold Out

While Daft Punk's second recording still focuses on the maximum accessibility that earned its debut such high marks, there's less of an obvious focus on pop hooks Irony and house beats are the order of the day, and an eclectic thread runs throughout Discovery "Digital Love" sounds like the theme to a '70s sitcom as realised by the Buggles. "Nightvision" is a mellow, wordless, Quiet storm-meets-Eno soundscape, while in an interpolation sure to gain plenty of attention, "Superheroes" marries a Barry Manilow sample to an unrelenting house beat. Ultimately, Discovery is less of a mission statement than its predecessor, but no less danceable or listenable

Jeff Mills: Waveform Transmission Vol.3

Sold Out

Waveform Transmission Vol.3 initially came out in 1994 on Tresor Records. The eight titles on the album marked a turning point for Jeff Mills. It indicates a transition from the straightforward sound he had created through the early 1990’s, into the different facets and sound pallet he will develop through the remainder of the decade. It is a significant piece within Jeff Mills’ masterwork

Bonobo: Migration

£26.00

Quantity

Bonobo's sixth album, Migration is released through Ninja Tune. It's Simon Green's first album since 2013's The North Borders "My own personal idea of identity has played into this record and the theme of migration," says the UK artist. "Is home where you are or where you are from, when you move around?" Green describes the album as a "study of people and spaces," adding: "It's interesting how one person will take an influence from one part of the world and move with that influence and affect another part of the world. Over time, the identities of places evolve" Guest appearances come from Nick Murphy (formerly Chet Faker), Rhye, Nicole Miglis and Innov Gnawa. Migration contains field recordings including "an elevator in Hong Kong airport, rain in Seattle, a tumble dryer in Atlanta and a fan boat engine in New Orleans" 2LP - Double heavyweight 180 Gram vinyl with Download Track list:Migration // Break Apart (feat. Rhye) // Grains // Second Sun // Surface (feat. Nicole Miglis) // Bambro Koyo Ganda (feat. Innov Gnawa) // Kerala // Ontario // No Reason (feat. Nick Murphy) // 7th Sevens // Figures

Flying Lotus: Cosmogramma

Sold Out

In the past couple of years, flying lotus has grown into the position of being far more than a producer, he has helped materialise a far-reaching strain of musical ideology that has encompassed not only a global family of like-minded artists, but also a nearly infinite palate of planetary (and interplanetary) sonics Looking back, his full-length warp debut, 'Los Angeles' appears to be much more of a mission statement than a simple introduction - laying the foundation for a field on which an entire generation of artists would soon be playing. While that album was an introspective, moody travelogue through the Californian metropolis, it certainly hinted at flying lotus' inclination to expand his sound beyond terrestrial means As you may deduce from the title of his latest opus, he's done just that. Not only has an entirely new range of sounds been unlocked by our intrepid astral traveler, but every genre touchstone associated with his name has been merged into a self-described 'space opera'. Seamless in execution and too wide in scope to properly describe, it is the authentic embodiment of his unique musical heritage. The spirit of his famed aunt, Alice Coltrane permeates the record, notably in the powerful collaborations with relative Ravi Coltrane, bass virtuoso Thundercat and the brilliant harp prodigy, Rebekah Raff Certainly these are further reaches into a musical space that flying lotus had hitherto been exploring, however other collaborators such as Erykah Badu and Outkast string arranger Miguel Atwood-Ferguson and guest vocalists Thom Yorke and a returning Laura Darlington (featured on 'Los Angeles' epic closing track 'Inifinitum') help deliver 'Cosmogramma' to dizzying new heights. all this name-dropping, however, is not to detract from the genius of the wizard-like figure behind it all. the most powerful aspect of flylo's output has always been it's ability to communicate his boundless love and enthusiasm for music in all it's forms and that is what is boldly on display here. people speak about 'important' albums all the time, but rarely is it so apparent that person behind them is following their own, chosen path - flying lotus is one of those precious few artists. when one is presented with an invitation for space travel, it's not something to pass up Track List Disc 1Clock CatcherPickled!Nose ArtIntro//A Cosmic DramaZodiac ShitComputer Face//Pure Being..And the World Laughs with YouArkestryMmmhmm Disc 2Do the Astral PlaneSatelllliiiiiteeeGerman HaircutRecoiledDance of the Pseudo NymphDrips//Auntie's HarpTable TennisGalaxy in Janaki
