hi all, Just got the new NME (12th June) here in da UK and there's some idm-related interesting stuff in there, so I thought i'd pass it on. I'll try to do this semi-regularly if i remember.. Another festival at Pontin's (ancient holiday camp!) in Camber Sands, September 17th-19th. Bands include cool 'indie' stuff like Arab Strap, Sterelob, Tortoise, Ween, but also some nice idm things like Plone and Plaid live. Cylob's new album is called "Lobster Tracks" and it's out on Rephlex July 12th, along with a new record from Jones (hurrah!), "The Jones Machine", same date, same label. Andrea Parker's "Kiss My Arp", heavily delayed cos of the Mo Wax label-ownership shenanigans, is out in the UK June 28th. Reviews include Plaid's "Rest Proof Clockwork" getting 7/10 ("both furiously modernist and strangely quaint: breakbeat electronica that's too ornate and eccentric to be remotely streetwise"). Umm, and that's about it :) Later, h0l (http:/www.mono211.com)
