novembergold ist anke schaubrenners erstes album seit 20 jahren. in zwölf liedern blickt sie tief in die menschliche seele. mit handwerklicher präzision, untrüglichem sinn für musikalische dramaturgie und zahllosen, liebvoll gestalteten details im klang und in der instrumentierung atmet die gesamte produktion eine atmosphäre der entschleunigung, die sich wohltuend von vielen schnelllebigen pop-alben unterscheidet. novembergold ist die musikalische entdeckung der langsamkeit, die klar macht: hier fließen die einfachen dinge im leben und die natürlichen klänge in der musik zu einem harmonischen ganzen zusammen.

the latest emotional response release provides something very special indeed, in the form of a new track from under the radar psychedelic rock musician nick nicely. nicely has been making music from the 70s onwards, but his music has recently undergone something of a critical reappraisal, with the likes of robert wyatt and robyn hitchcock supposedly inspired by his work, wrottersley road provides the ideal entry into his music, a masterful piece of shoegaze pop filled with fuzzed out guitars and eastern psychedelic tones. remixes are provided by invisible hands, who provide a minimal 80s inspired electro-pop version, which comes saturated in radiophonic textures, and the oscillation, who take the track into even more abstract ambient territory than the original, deep into a place where time seems to stand still entirely, drawing its rich textures out into infinity.

people have all the power - they just have to remember it, findet steve mason und sorgt mit seinem neuen eklektischen meisterstück *monkey minds in the devils time* für revolutionären wind in der flaute der aktuell doch sehr unpolitischen popwelt. das neue album besticht nicht nur durch seinen inhaltlichen tiefgang. dass der ex-beta band sänger mason auf stolze fünfzehn jahre erfahrung als musiker zurückgreift und produzent dan carey (hot chip, bat for lashes) seine finger im spiel hatte, merkt man dem album an. das glanzstück *monkey minds in the devils times* ist an musikalischem facettenreichtum zwischen pop, indie und elektronik kaum zu überbieten.

tropics a.k.a. chris ward first appeared on planet mu last year, following up two eps with the album parodia flare. commended by pitchfork for his lush soundscapes and hazy pop, whats clear with tropics is that he listens to a lot of dance music and he cares about production values. the synth and beat programming is as competent as anything out there, and he avoids lazy indie stylings and one button bontempi organ beats – his are crafted songs, much of the pleasure lying in his gift for dynamic arrangement, which is a joy amid rafts of useful formulaically assembled house tracks.
in common with the general post-financial collapse vibe there is less sunshine in this ep than before, and he has absorbed something from a year of intensive house music listening, but chris essential qualities remain a forward-looking wistfulness, hope beneath melancholy, something even more acutely needed now than before. oh look! here comes winter.

all tracks written & produced by ark (guillaume erroyer) and pit spector (pierre deniel) 4-track package from exciting new duo ark & pit spector. made up of brothers ark, the parisian known for his pioneering releases on perlon and karat, and pit spector, an up and coming producer, they join forces on their debut ep for eclectic label hold youth. true to the hold youth ethos the ep calls on a number of different influences, from the smooth, funk-led vibes on tournsoul, to the techno-inspired sounds of seuils remix of the nuts. ark & pit spector explore all that is sexy and hypnotic through the subtle but effective all green, while more down-tempo the nuts is verging on 80s-esque wonky-pop. seuil steps up for his take on the latter and delivers a dark, murky and all together sinister version of the original, adding a pulsating bassline to compliment the stripped back edit of the vocal. forward-thinking and open-minded sounds, old futur is another worthy addition to the hold youth catalogue.

easily recognizable by his impassioned johnny cash-meets-charlie feathers vocals, the french-born don cavalli began to get any notice in the greater music and blog community when he released his full-length *cryland* (2007), which featured his amalgamation of swamp blues, lo-fi pop, country gospel, and early rock & roll. in 2013, don cavalli will release his new studio album *temperamental*, staying on blues track while dismantling the traditional codes of the field. indeed, thanks to an old fashioned sound take and a contemporary production, don cavalli makes his new album sound old but incredibly modern. and if *temperamental* goes through many kinds of sounds, in the end it always goes straight to the point: a unique cajun blues from the bayou serving a soul and sophisticated voice. a must-have!
cd-copy of the full album included.

after his separation from playhouse in 2007 and the rather longish break that followed it, it looks as if isolee has finally found their new homebase with pampa records. evidence of this may be found in such unprejudiced tracks as taktell, a single extracted from the album well-spent youth. as is tyical for isolee, it defies any clear-cut genre classification and creates its very own harmonic setting, merging associations of pop, house and distant landscapes into a unique sound voyage.

limited pressing of 300!! mysterious bufiman and the glorious tim schumacher on the label that fully dedicate itself to the underground house sound. bufiman delivers two magical tracks that blend analogue disco, fantastic house and heavy tribal voodoo rhythms to create something very special in electronic dancemusic - we call it obscure discohouse, he calls it monkey b-boy-style. tim schumacher is representing on this record his very own interpretation of chicago-house and brings us three driving tracks that are rooting deeply in the love for analogue sound production of the late 80ies, no matter if its house, disco or synth-pop, but always with a very personal approach to what house-music is all about: emotions. on the last track no less than dj jakob from terpsiton/vfmm is jamming together with tim and two other friends in a dadaistic session
