babylon by car is entirely in this ambiguity, between nostalgia and modernity, between pop and post-punk, electronic music and rock, past and future Ð its where kraftwerks >men-machines< celebrated an endless future with obedient machines. botox summons the ghosts of the century, from cybotron to wire, from fad gadget to john carpenter, to give birth to greatly personal music and, in all honesty, a rather unique sound in french electronic music. botox doesnt swagger to keep their motors running. both melodic and fierce, >babylon by car< comes as it is. and its probably the best way to take it in

dj roc shows off his brilliant high-speed sparse manipulations of rhythm, space and sound as in the dancehall.then there are tracks that mix smooth soul with double-speed like i cant control the feeling, to tracks which have more of a classic juke feel like get buck jones and dj roc symphony. the album is full of brilliant production and original ideas.

mark mcguire operates chiefly as guitarist in the legendary emeralds. however he also has racked up an impressive set of solo releases over the last few years (albeit mainly in small to micro print runs). living with yourself is his new album and we at editions mego hope to meet any demand which may arise from this fine selection of modern crafted guitar tunes. focusing on his family, early friendships and the problems that inevitably develop through years of knowing someone, it takes mcguires sound even further out, and contains some his most accomplished songs to date. the opening track is fine example of mcguires magic technique of taking a lone acoustic guitar then transforming the track into bliss-out electro wash looping off into the distance. and tracks like clouds rolling in and brain storm take off where such mcguire classics as the marfa lights (which incidentally is planned for a future reissue) left off. while connoisseurs of his sound will find all they desire in here, many superb surprises await around every corner. these are songs that cruise, bubble and rise to the top.

2010 release by this project from bristol-based musician scott hendy. anyone who has seen the recent bansky documentary exit through the gift shop has likely heard diego & the dissidents though they may not have realized it. an album that almost never saw the light of day, now resurrected just in time to see brilliant tracks such as -contaminated water pt. 4- and others add depth and intrigue to a film already featuring an -against all odds- theme.

arne weinberg aka onmutu mechanicks pres. his first album on echocord. being known for producing deep melodic techno, arnes alias onmutu mechanicks serves as a project for all things abstract and dub-influenced. >nocturne< combines dubtechno and the deep melodic techno that arne is known for. the result is a slightly different take on the genre, ranging from ambientesque soundscapes to dark reverberated and delayed sonic dancefloor affairs and rhythmical experiments in dub. >nocturne< is a statement of pure deepness.

with 17 years industry experience, innumerable remixes, several hit singles and eight albums under his belt, dutch dj/producer ferry corsten knows how to knock up a tune. the bombastic title of his latest album, l.e.f. - loud, electronic, ferocious Ð seems overtly aimed at quieting any doomsday critics that are still flouncing around prophesying the death of dance music. the contents certainly state a passionate case for the genre-s ongoing vitality and ability to reinvent itself, as corsten lets loose a take-no-prisoners tirade of electro, trance, pop and techno. the visceral pulse of -are you ready- opens the onslaught, preparing the listener for retro anthems such as the recordÕs first single -fire- (featuring simon le bon), and -into the dark- (with howard jones), and a storming series of trademark trance cuts - -beautiful-, -posession- and a reworking of old favourite -galaxia-.
