Aphex Twin (a.k.a. Richard D. James) helped to bring about and revolutionize the techno movement in the late 1980s and early 1990s. The 2014 release Syro was his first album in 13 years! The release was initially announced via a blimp over London, and clearly the world of techno and electronica had missed Aphex Twin….
Quite unlike anything else he s ever done, Windowlicker is perhaps the most accessible and dancefloor-friendly track Richard D James has ever created. A simple, gurgling riff paired with childishly sung vocals and thrown over straight-up 4 4 beats, groaning and developing, the bizarre sonics straining to burst through the shackles of form and expectation….

2009 release, the third album from Sheffield s Arctic Monkeys. Humbug finds the band brimming with vim, vigor and new ideas.

Light and airy, filmic but intimate, carefully arranged but deceptively powerful, SUCK IT AND SEE is Arctic Monkeys fourth album.

Musically, there are bits of the Stone Roses, What s the Story Morning Glory, and Nevermind. As catchy as those reference points are, it s the songwriting that has won the band a fiercely dedicated following; a mix of the observational storytelling of Davies and Weller crossed with the harsher documentary eye of Mike Skinner…

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED BY ERODING WINDS OWNER. ONE OF THE GREATEST METAL ALBUMS OF ALL TIME. The all-time classic album from Gothenburg s At The Gates. Really, what more needs to be said about it? It s consistently featured in lists of top metal albums of all time, and if you don t already have it…
Strictly Leakage was a 2007 Christmas gift to fans in the form of a free download. The title was a nod to both leaking their own music as well as to the golden era hip-hop that inspired them. It sounded uniquely different from Atmosphere s recordings around this time. Ant was back digging into the…
Like all bands that meld metal’s numerous disparate incarnations, Vancouver’s Atræ Bilis are not easily pigeonholed. Death metal, atmospheric dissonance, tech brutality and much more are all thrown into the Atræ Bilis meat grinder coalescing beautifully and disturbingly into their own signature fusion like a perfectly functioning innovative machine. On new album Aumicide, the follow…
