Just picked up Dj Spooky's "synthetic fury ep" and I must say it is f*cking incredible! Great team up with Panacea. An album that mixes ambience with dark jungle and dub and hip-hop and well everyt'in but the kitchen sink...and sampling himself.really looking forward to 'Riddim Warfare' now! Another fabulous Paul Miller release. Next up is the new "solo" cEvin Key release 'music for cats' which is also a great album of oddities recorded over the past 3 years , cameos by GP Orridge, Dwayne, Philth, Mark Spybey and, well actually the whole Download crew.Overall a mellow album with older analogue sounds really bleepy and different(in parts) than past efforts, a mixture of Download,Plateau,Doubting Thomas style music- all subtley different in thier own way. Probably what most Download fans were expecting from "III", chaotic, disjointed with soothing bits here and there. Yet another is the "Aurora Remixes" stuff by James Plotkin and KK Null mixed by Scorn , DJ Spooky, Yab Yum, and James Plotkin. This is a nice surprise remix album that falls into that 'illbient' catagory(if you want) dark dubby ambient-hop noise- I've never heard the originals but these versions are excellent. Kind of like Asphodels, "incursions in Illbient" but ep length. spaul
