Track: Pong (Ben Klock Remix (Edit))
(
$0.27
)
Artist: Kerri Chandler
“More than a decade on, Global Underground still knows what's good in progressive house. With Kerri Chandler cooking up the original and Ben Klock on the remix, "Pong" alone will give you a survey of what today's "superstar" DJs are banging out - the rest of the 2-disc album just takes you that much deeper.”

“Breaking out of the decade-old dub techno mold, Yagya has an ear for song structure where his colleagues are content to focus on textures. Too subtle for a dance floor but too dance for a dinner party - this album is one you'll keep coming back to for the quiet moments you have to yourself.”

“If the Enterprise, the Millenium Falcon, and the Battlestar Galactica were to get in a fight, this song would win.”

“If the landscapes in Sweden are a fraction as beautiful as the soundscapes they seem to inspire, I can't imagine anyone getting anything done without first spending a few hours simply staring at the horizon.”

“King of the disco edits puts his own special touch on the UK's latest singer-songwriter Next Big Thing.”

“A love it or hate it track; opinion on Mike Monday probably correlates strongly with one's affection for whimsy. To quote Resident Advisor, this'll take you on "a gloopy undersea journey through schools of bubbly arpeggio and over shoals of bumpy distorted bass. Aquatic theremin gives way to booming merfolk warrior chants at minute four."”

“It isn't too often that I'd use the word 'grooves' to describe a Belle & Sebastian song, but the beat here is just too infectious not to start tapping your foot a little bit.”

“The music nerd in me wants to talk about dissonance and the lasting influence of Detroit techno, but the nerd nerd in me just can't stop thinking how awesome a soundtrack this would make for Left 4 Dead.”

Album: Unshaven Face EP
Artist: Frank Omura
“The perfect mix of melody and distortion laid over an awesomely analog low end. It's releases like this that make me love Moodgadget Records more and more every day.”

(

Album: Surfing At Midnight
Artist: Sorcerer
“Prins Thomas usually doesn't disappoint, and this remix of Sorcerer (AKA Daniel Judd, AKA one half of Windsurf) is no exception. Settle in for the duration cause this is a long one but worth every minute.”

“Awesome folk/pop by a duo from Paris/Helsinki. I won't cheapen the pretty eclectic nature of their sound by describing it as 'X meets Y' - just give a listen to see if they're your thing.”

“80s electrofunk (think Zulu Nation) meets 8-bit retropunk (think Contra). Think they're the same thing? Give it a listen and decide for yourself.”

“So happy to see The Polyphonic Spree on Amie Street. Their cover of 'Lithium' on this release is the obvious crowd-pleaser, but Sonic Bloom is definitely the track I keep coming back to.”

“I love this whole album so much, but the first concert I ever went to featured Andrew Bird's Bowl of Fire as the opener, so I might just be biased.”

“I have a personal policy of buying any albums by artists with more than one diacritical mark in their name. Fortunately it's working out a lot better this time than it did with my most recent Mötley Crüe album.”

“Is your volume set to any lower than 90% while you're listening to this song? If so then turn it up and start over, do not pass Go, do not collect $200.”

“Awesome Danish duo that rocks the reverbed Jesus & Mary Chain guitar sound hard. Melodic and driving, but just enough distortion to keep it from going stale on replay.”
