Autechre - LP5 For our money, the point in Autechre's evolution where they perfectly balanced the melody and song structure of their earlier albums with the intense rhythmic experimentation that followed.

Beans - Shock City Maverick Chrome-plated futuristic hip hop beamed down from a future NYC. Features production by Mark Pritchard (Harmonic 33) on several tracks.

Brothomstates - Claro The zenith of late 90's/early 00's electronica, with a glacial purity of sound and melody redolent of the album's Scandinavian origins.

Elecktroids - Electro World James Stinson of Drexciya dreamt up Elecktroids as a Kraftwerk-homage concept band, and produced this album.

Masami Akita + Russell Haswell - Satanstornade Collaboration between multidisciplinary artist Russell Haswell and Masami Akita, aka Merzbow. "The more you're immersed in the chaos tearing around your cranium, the more you submit to it with an almost Zen like calm" (BBC)

Polygon Window - Surfing On Sine Waves An oft-overlooked pinnacle of Aphex Twin's work. A eulogy to the North Cornwall coast - elemental and primal, with jackhammer beats, cavernous echo, and plaintive haunting songs.

Req - Sketchbook Aptly named. Rhythmic 'sketches' of contemplative, dusty hip hop beats incorporating instruments like thumb pianos and zithers.
|

Savath & Savalas - Apropa't Gorgeous album of Tropicalia-inspired songs written by Prefuse73 and vocalist Eva Puyelo Muns while living in Barcelona.

The Black Dog - Spanners The most 'Plaid' of the Black Dog albums, and the last involving all three members (Ed and Andy of Plaid, and Ken Downie). A brilliant mix of 303/acid dancefloor tracks and beatless, eastern-inspired pieces.

Vincent Gallo - Recordings Of Music For Film His album of acoustic songs "When" is better known, but this is a superb collection of mainly instrumental music and remastered soundtrack pieces from films he was involved in during the early 80's downtown Manhattan era.

Please Note - Albums added to Bleep since Jan 2006 are encoded at maximum MP3 quality (320kbps). Older albums are encoded as VBR (Variable Bitrate) MP3s. This means that the bitrate changes during the track to save space whenever the maximum encoding level is not required. They are still very high quality, to all intents and purposes indistinguishable from 320kpbs MP3s, but MP3 software players (eg itunes) usually display the bitrate for the first 'frame' only of these VBR files, giving a misleading impression of the overall file quality. The "Buy MP3 Release" link next to each product at Bleep tells you whether the album and its tracks are in VBR or 320kbps MP3. ____ |
