anders trentemoller has become one of the most respected names in cutting edge electronic music in the last few years. his rise to notoriety was sparked by his early, techy releases for poker flat and audiomatique and has since gone on to stellar highs with his own personal take on the genre, spanning, pop, rock, indie and classical. his debut album >the last resort< was released in 2006 to much international acclaim, and the producer also began to become an in-demand remixer in the house and techno world. as the decade wore on his sound continued to progress, opening up his studio to more live instrumentation, and a looser, rock-meets electronic vibe with his stunning >into the great wide yonder< lp. now this special double cd and double vinyl release celebrates some of the producer s favourite remixes he completed for other artists, and also some of his personal picks where other musicians have reworked his music.

you know the story by now, a string of super singles, a number one in the nialler9 irish song poll of 2010 (which turned them into temporary jerks kidding) and a constant string of live dates around the country have made squarehead one of the better bands in ireland and now, we re finally at the debut album chapter. its been a long time coming. squarehead initially recorded their debut album back in september and december last year with shane cullen in k9 studios and save for a couple of extra tracks and re-recordings of old favourites mother nurture and fake blood, the band have patiently been sitting on it since. yeah nothing is a dozen tracks of no-nonsense slacker indie pop, a fuzzy collection of lo-fi rock n roll inspired by surf-pop, old school rock n roll and bright guitars.

was i the wave? is the ophomore offering from montreal musician and producer miracle fortress (graham van pelt). miracle fortress gained international recognition in 2007 for his debut album five roses, a unique collection of psychedelic shoegazey-pop that garnered high praise from numerous outlets. it was also short listed for canadas polaris prize that year, alongside arcade fires neon bible and feists the reminder. while it bears little stylistic resemblance to his debut, was i the wave? is in some ways a similar offering, insofar as it takes us on a trip deep into van pelts unique musical mind. theres not much of an argument for calling this record indie-rock-its essentially an electronic offering--but existing fans wont find it too difficult to hear van pelts signature hooks swimming among the big synths, and deep beats. like five roses, it was created in isolation from top-to-bottom, with van pelt serving as composer, arranger, performer, producer, and engineer. taken as a product of his occasionally hermitic temperament, many of tracks here express themes of alienation, anonymity, or the desire for the assurances of intimacy.

bruce springsteens heartland ist new jersey. das von conor oberst nebraska. und thees uhlmanns herzland heißt niedersachsen. und wie seine beiden kollegen ist auch der tomte-saenger gefangen zwischen liebe und hass fuer die provinz. so etwa im song -lat. 53.7 lon 9.11667-, der gleichzeitig lob- und abgesang auf seine heimat ist. uhlmann legt auf seinem ersten soloalbum mehr wert aufs storytelling und nimmt einen mit auf eine reise von paris im herbst bis nach rom in truemmern, von guenter grass zu jay-z (mit casper). in uhlmanns herzland ist platz fuer nackte priester und aufgemotzte autos. der rock ist weniger indie, gibt sich stattdessen breiter und opulenter. es muss nicht immer die gitarre sein, die den weg vorgibt. warum nicht mal ein klavier? oder ein beat? ein bass, ein paar blaeser? oder alles zusammen? insgesamt mehr us- als brit-rock, mehr tamtam als tomte. uhlmann und produzent tobias kuhn schoepfen aus dem vollen und klopfen an den wall of sound, bis es staubt, kracht und wackelt.
