Einsturzende Neubauten - Perpetuum Mobile

Guilt tripped into buying an album by a porn site - who would have thunk it? Einsturzende Neubauten are a band that by all rights I should have been enjoying for years, they pretty much invented industrial music - although you wouldn't guess from this album, although much of the beats are created using various scrap metal instruments, and it's mainly in German, it's one of the most song oriented CDs I've bought this year. Almost gentle in places - I think I'm going to spend alot of time with this one.



Murs - 3:16 The 9th Edition

Ten songs! No skits! This is how all hip-hop albums should be. Production from 9th Wonder, who comes up with some good solid beats for the ever reliable Murs to speak his mind over. The word that springs to mind most when listening to this is 'honest'.



Teledubgnosis - Magnetic Learning Center

Ex-Drummer from late era Godflesh does dub, sounds a bit like a Bill Laswell album but with less bass guitar wanking, rather good really. Also has a dancehall stylee from the Bug, which is always welcome, and Justin Broadrick (from Godflesh) does a drum n bass remix in his Tech Level 2 guise.



Sophia - All My Love

Obligatory CD single from Sophia's People are like Seasons album, could be a hit but it won't. One of the b-sides called Genius is really rather good - slightly different to Sophia's normal stuff as its almost all electronic.
