cryovac recordings is a collection of artists with a personal style that bleeds through their work. cryovac artists have a relentless energy and passion for the music called techno. they are warriors with a clear vision and discipline on a course that is their own. the cryovac crew believes in the vinyl record and has always been drawn to its unique quality it gives to sound. this e.p. celebrates the record shop, a crossroads of ideas and inspiration, where connections are made solid in the unity of the underground. rebecca goldberg twists the 303 around a relentless 4/4 groove that evolves tweaks and pops into a sonic neurosis. her yin yang approach applies a smooth steady delivery moving parallel to a raucous funk. the collaborative effort of andy garcia and mike kretsch produced a techno with moody rises and falls, stark kicks, and eerie effects held together with heroic energy. toms and knocks, digital barks and farts, random clicks and ticks all fall into a galloping composition.

brothers ben & liam murray return to the nail shop with inept, an e.p of emotional house music which soundtracks love, lust, euphoria, heartbreak, late nights and early mornings and everything in between. best consumed with a cold drink and factor 15.

das 1993er album very katapultierte sich im uk, in deutschland, in schweden und in der schweiz auf platz 1 der jeweiligen charts und hat bis heute verkaufszahlen in höhe von weltweit fünf millionen exemplaren erreicht. das album enthält fünf singles, darunter ihre coverversion von go west, die in england auf platz 2 und in deutschland auf platz 1 ging und hier mit platin ausgezeichnet wurde, und die single can you forgive her?

im september 1996 wurde bilingual als sechstes pet shop boys-studioalbum veröffentlicht. es spielte sich bei erscheinen auf platz 4 der uk-charts (platz 7 in d) und enthielt 5 singles, die alle in die uk-top-20 gingen. wie die meisten pet shop boys-alben schöpft auch bilingual aus vielen einflüssen, darunter deutlich hörbare latino-inspirationen, was der tatsache geschuldet war, dass neil tennant und chris lowe sich im vorfeld der aufnahmen viel mit spanischer und lateinamerikanischer musik beschäftigt hatten.

behaviour war das vierte studioalbum der pet shop boys, das hauptsächlich im münchener studio des co-produzenten harold faltermeyer aufgenommen wurde. vollendet wurden die aufnahmen in den londoner sarm west studios und schließlich im oktober 1990 veröffentlicht. behaviour chartete auf anhieb auf platz 2 in england und platz 4 in deutschland und wurde in england mit platin ausgezeichnet.

since so many european labels have been reissuing lost and obscure 1980s japanese ambient albums of late, it was probably inevitable that at least one label would put together a compilation paying tribute to the sound. it turns out that jazzy couscous has won the race with kumo no moko, a superb double album that does a terrific job in putting japan s 80s ambient scene in context. as you d expect, the majority of the tracks feature either dreamy electronic sounds or a mixture of acoustic and electronic instrumentation, with nods to jazz coming thick and fast. there are naturally a couple of fairly well-known names on show, but for the most part the compilers have done a terrific job in highlight lesser-known tracks from unsung heroes.

2xm are a duo that work on either side of the world and the end result is exceptionally beautiful music that can be filed somewhere between jazz & house - (gel)tip!

here at the nail shop we’ve booked you in for another appointment, this time with an unknown artist, who goes under the moniker of maniqin.
this record offers up a selection of services and styles that would cater to varying tastes, with the dance floor in mind.
on the top coat (a-side) the artist takes a simple loop and manages to turn it into 5 minutes of euphoria that will get your entire body moving, whereas the second track soundtracks you leaving our london based salon with everything on point.
on the base coat (b-side) the energy comes down a few notches to a warmer serene state before rounding this record off with a track that will see those freshly preened and polished gel tips curled into a fist in the middle of the dance floor straight through til morning.

zweifellos ist es die zusammenarbeit des pop-jahres 2009: die pet shop boys haben sich für ihr neues studioalbum »yes« mit dem hit-produzententeam xenomania (girls aloud, sugababes, gabriella cilmi etc.) zusammengetan.
die pet shop boys, die bei der brit-award-verleihung am 18. februar 2009 mit dem preis für ihren außergewöhnlichen beitrag zur musik ausgezeichnet wurden, haben drei der elf songs gemeinsam mit xenomania geschrieben. die übrigen stücke entstammen der feder von tennant/lowe, bei »all over the world« hat tschaikovsky einige ideen beigesteuert.
als vorbote des neuen albums »yes« wurde am 13. märz 2009 die single »love etc« veröffentlicht. die pet shop boys beschreiben diesen song als »post-lifestyle-hymne«, die mit nichts, was sie jemals zuvor gemacht haben, vergleichbar ist.
chris lowe äußert sich begeistert: »dieses album ist beeindruckend. es war toll, mit xenomania zu arbeiten!« und neil tennant findet: »es ist ein fantastisches, weit gefächertes popalbum.«
auf mehreren songs ist johnny marr als gitarrist zu hören, die orchesterarrangements auf »beautiful people« und »legacy« stammen von owen pallett (last shadow puppets, final fantasy).

elysium erschien 2012 und offenbarte eine weiterentwicklung im sound und in der musikalischen entwicklung der pet shop boys. der kompositionsprozess begann, als die pet shop boys mit take that auf tour waren, einige tracks entstanden sogar schon im jahr 2008.
das album wurde gemeinsam von den pet shop boys und andrew dawson produziert, der als soundingenieur viel an kanye wests album »808s & heartbreaks« mitgearbeitet hatte – ein album von dem neil tennant damals »leicht besessen« war. die düstere atmosphäre in den texten von elysium spiegelt sich im sound des albums wider.
neil tennant: »es ist einerseits sehr ›deep‹ im sound – es hat eine menge sub-bass – aber es ist auch tiefgehend, was die inhaltlichen themen betrifft und die art, wie sie formuliert werden. aber ich finde, es ist das schönste album der pet shop boys.«

naoki e-jima s disc shop zero record store in tokyo holds a special place in our hearts. since before idle hands was even established, when rooted records was king, the cosy, liberally stocked shop has served as a sympathetic outpost for bristol s rich culture of soundsystem music. over the years, naoki has championed all the best music to come from our fair city, from smith & mighty through to pinch and pev and on to the output from our own humble label. it s been a vital connection to help our music reach the right heads on the other side of the world, in turn providing a platform for our most treasured artists to gig and further the cause of the music we love. as a thank you for all the support naoki has shown bristol music over the years, idle hands has put together a special tribute 10inch of tracks that chime with his particular musical tastes, shining a light on some complementary gems that might have otherwise never seen the light of day. its also a chance to fill in the missing idle013 catalogue number – fortunately, the number 13 does not represent bad luck in japanese culture. on the a-side, the mighty (pun intended) rob smith takes to a track from outboxx s debut album, originally intended for a remix 12inch that never came to be. in his learned hands, lost soul becomes a shimmering stepper marked out by beautiful cascading arpeggios and of course plenty of fulsome bass, with arresting fragments of vocal drifting in and out of the mix for good measure. rob s status as a true legend of bristol music needs no explanation, but his presence here is furthermore because naoki is such a fan of his music. on the b-side, atki2 makes a welcome return to the label after bringing a classic ray of sunshine to idle hands on the second single we ever put out. as well as being a big release for us, it was apparently huge at disc shop zero, so it feels right to bring the effervescent hes royal to this 10inch release. with a sunny disposition at heart, these two tracks make sense sharing a 10inch, but it s even more fitting that they sit side by side as we doff our caps to a true hero of the global underground. thanks, naoki.
