Description:
When Sigur Ros used a teeny tiny piano on a Melbourne tour everyone in the room went ‘nawww, he's playing on a teeny tiny piano!' When Holy Fuck play The Corner, all tiny instruments must be taken seriously. According to Pitchfork Media, ‘The band was formed with the intent of creating the equivalent of modern electronic music without actually using the techniques - looping, splicing, programming and the like - of that music.

Lindstrøm, Where You Go, I Go Too
Lindstrøm starts off 2008 right with an album that, if you didn't know what it contained, you might be very skeptical about parting with money for. Here's the official word though: Do it, you sissy.
Where You Go, I Go Too is a dense, slow-starting, pulsating 55 odd minutes of electronic production from the depths of Norway.
Squarepusher, Just A Souvenir
Conceived as a dream concert performed by five ultra-talented, trans-dimensional musicians, this new issue from veteran UK sound-setter, Squarepusher, is full-on epiphanic, funky fresh shit. Resurrecting the direction of his classic 1998 album, Music Is Rotted One Note, Just a Souvenir sees Tom Jenkinson back in live-playing territory - transcending notions of him as a bygone drill'n'bass artist via prodigious performances more aligned with Lightning Bolt or Aprodite's Child than the 'braindance' sound of old scene compadre, Aphex Twin.
Silver Red
Who's blazing a flare-trail across the face of music's electronic future, then? Who's keeping the dream of hard-patched classicism after Jim O'Rourke's overseas model alive? Few, but Cornel Wilzcek is the hen's-tooth goods, a bone-fide local Reanimator who, as Qua, makes music that sounds and is performed inconceivably - a new, heavy kind of listen that RMIT would call 'experiential'; learned, clear-eyed and shot-through with winning feelings of discovery.
Harshup Edge EP
Aphex Twin, AFX, Caustic Window, Bradley Strider, The Tuss – doesn’t matter; the godfather of electronica’s sound is unmistakeable. Hot on the heels of the 11-volume Analord series – a collection of acid-electro dubs – Richard D. James is back with his first properly visionary material since 2002’s intense major label double album, Druqks.
Theatre of Disco EP
Electronic music can get predictable. To hold an audience’s attention, it helps if you douse yourself in fake blood and put on a theatrical live show with dancers dressed like Leigh Bowery, or write interesting, inventive songs.
Sydney duo Theatre of Disco does both. Their sound combines electro with glitchy samples and over-the-top humour (at times they veer into all-out indie territory, like on the fantastic ‘Oke’).
Person Pitch
Person Pitch is the ideal title for Noah Lennox's latest record, save maybe The Ecstatic Dreams of an Embryo In and Out of the Cool Ocean. Transmitting live from the Animal Collective member's boyish imagination, it's a restless and colourful record, foggy and crystalline by turns, but always as natural and inevitable sounding as the sun's arc across a clear blue sky.
