Here's some of the soup via Dutch East.. Thought you guys might be interested.. FABULOUS SHIT Lo Recordings LCD014 UPC: 1753-32277-2 Conclusive proof (if proof was needed) that Lo Recordings is one of the most adventurous labels operating today. The past 12 months have seen the label go from strength to strength with the hugely ambitious (and large selling) Root - Thurston Moore project; the widely acclaimed Four Tet/Rothko collaboration and Rothko album; the floor storming Echo Park 'Macosa EP'; the groundbreaking Warn Defever album - 'Top Of The Pile' in last weeks Independent - and forthcoming releases featuring the Third Eye Foundation, Richard Thomas - who according to The Guardian "could happily be the next Aphex Twin" - Squarepusher, Mike Flowers, Orbital and others (see below). Fabulous Shit features exclusive tracks by Stereolab, Aphex Twin, Mogwai, Add N to X, Rothko, Four Tet, Thurston Moore, David Albarn & Graham Coxon, Third Eye Foundation and oodles of others all mixed up by label boss Jon Tye aka Twisted Science - the last Science album was 'Record Of The Week' in the Sunday Times and 'Number One' in the DJ Techno chart! - into a sonic roller coaster ride of epic proportions. This album works as an overview of the label, a taste of what's to come and as one of the most original mix albums you're ever likely to hear. Forthcoming releases on Lo include 'I Am Carnal and I Know You Approve' 12" (Squarepusher and Richard Thomas locked in mortal combat), Richard Thomas 'Soggy Martyrs' CD album, a brand new Rothko mini album, the long awaited follow up to The Aphex Twin meets The Mike Flowers Pops, 'Mike Flowers vs Orbital - Chime' (exceedingly strange), a new full length Twisted Science album and an album of electronic exploration featuring Add N To X, Stereolab, and Hairy Butter - 'Alternative 3'. CD contains tracks by (in order of appearance): Richard Thomas, Kundalini, David Kristian, Stereolab, Wagon Christ, Mogwai, Four Tet, Rothko, Warn Defever, 8 Frozen Modules, Add N To X, Merzbow, Cheap Glue, Damon Albarn, Graham Coxon, Thurston Moore, Voafose, The Sycophants, The Aphex Twin, The Mike Flowers Pops, Barbed, Echo Park, Twisted Science, Third Eye Foundation, 2 Player, and Bedouin Ascent. MIKA VAINIO Ydin WAV01 (cd) UPC: 1753-32303-2 The new label Wavetrap opens its catalogue of releases with a full-length by Pan sonic's Mika Vainio. Ydin (Finnish for "core") is a set of eleven tracks flowing into each other and extended over 74 minutes of dark haunting beauty. We think it is one of the best solo-releases from Mika Vainio. Rastermusic are proud to offer to the complete edition (750 cd`s). The package is printed on heavy-paper digifile and is laminated. _____________________________________ Pietro Da Sacco, m b m @ n e t c o r e . c a ::: Experimental Electronica in Words ::: ::: Grooves Magazine ::: http://www.rain.org/~audio/grooves/ ::: Insound.com ::: Grooves Issue 1 ::: http://www.insound.com/zinestand/grooves/
