hello. Urban Sounds is undergoing a comprehensive redesign. in the meantime, a large stack of reviews of recent--and now not quite so recent--releases have been accumulating. rather than wait until the next issue is up (we're aiming for mid-August), we've decided to do another update to the current issue. this will insure the reviews in the next issue or as fresh as can be, and still allow the ones we have on-hand to be of some use. an outline of what's new and where to find it: _ Ambient (http://www.urbansounds.com/home/styles/ambient/us_ambient.html) . Coil : solstice eps (Eskaton) . Mick Harris and Anthony Child : certain beyond all reasonable doubt (Manifold) . Oval : aero deko and szenario eps (Thrill Jockey) . Pole : lp2 (Kiff SM/Matador) . Shuttle 358 : optimal.lp (12k) . Mark Van Hoen : playing with time (Apollo) _ Electro (http://www.urbansounds.com/home/styles/electro/us_electro.html): . Aemic : beta (Musik aus Strom) .

While : seek ep (Musik aus Strom) _ House/Techno (http://www.urbansounds.com/home/styles/house_techno/us_house_techno.html): . Kit Clayton and DJ Jasper : various (Cytrax, Delay) . Monolake : interstate (Imbalance) . Sender Berlin : spektrum weltweit (Tresor) _ Experimental (http://www.urbansounds.com/home/styles/experimental/us_experimental.html): . Arovane : icol diston (Din) . Aspen : album (Elephant Electronic) . Derek Bailey : playbacks (Bingo) . Funckarma : funckarma ep (Djak-Up-Bitch) . Jake Mandell : parallel processes (Worm Interface) . SNK : tplay and newtables (SND) . Third Eye Foundation : you guys kill me (Domino) .
