LIP THAT WOULD KISS / THE DURUTTI COLUMN
This remastered CD collects together a selection of key tracks and singles recorded for Factory Benelux, Les Disques du Crepuscule and Sordide Sentimental between 1980 and 1983, including the pristine singles Lips That Would Kiss (recorded with legendary producer Martin Hannett) and Danny, and the rare Factory Benelux 12" EP from 1982, Deux Triangles. The set also includes several unique tracks recorded for Crepuscule compilation albums, and no less than nine tracks from the unreleased 1983 album Short Stories For Pauline, several of which feature Tuxedomoon man Blaine L. Reininger on violin.
FIDELITY / THE DURUTTI COLUMN
First released by Les Disques du Crepuscule in April 1996, Fidelity features ten tracks written and performed by Vini Reilly, with occasional guest vocals by Elli Rudge. In addition to Vini's trademark guitar style, the album also features sleek programmed beats and synth textures. The CD also features one bonus track, My Only Love, originally issued in 1995 on a free CD with Total Guitar magazine. The booklet includes background notes, and the text of the original press release.
CIRCUSES & BREAD / THE DURUTTI COLUMN
Circuses & Bread was originally released on the Factory Benelux label in April 1986, and features ten tracks written and performed by Vini Reilly, together with drummer Bruce Mitchell. This expanded CD edition also features ten bonus tracks including compilation album tracks Verbier and The Aftermath, five previously unreleased tracks from the cancelled 1983 album Short Stories For Pauline, and the rarely heard 1983 single I Get Along Without You Very Well, a Hoagy Carmichael cover sung by Lindsay Reade and dedicated to her former husband, Anthony H. Wilson. The booklet restores the original cover design by 8vo.
LIVE IN BRUXELLES 13.8.1981
Live In Bruxelles comprises a complete live performance by Vini Reilly and Bruce Mitchell at the Place de la Monnaie (Muntplein) in Brussels, Belgium, together with a lengthy after-show chat with Vini. The ten song live set contains DC favourites such as Conduct and Sketch for Summer, as well as several rarely heard numbers including Stains, Danny and Messidor. The attractive booklet for this digitally remastered CD includes extracts from the original event programme, as well as background notes and archive images.

SARAVAH SOUL / saravah soul
試聽﹕http://www.myspace.com/saravahsoul
Exploding out of the rich cultural mix in the melting-pot of London’s underground music scene comes the half-Brazilian, half-British, Afro-Brazilian Funk sound of Saravah Soul.Their ground breaking first album (self-titled Saravah Soul) has caused an international stir amongst record labels eager to sign them, and the band seems set on an unstoppable rise to even wider acclaim.
Formed by Otto Nascarella, Saravah Soul was created to showcase a highly addictive style of late 60’s Brazilian soul-funk and samba, to create an exciting and original live flavour. ...繼續閱讀

TINFOIL ON THE WINDOWS / soso
試聽: http://www.myspace.com/sosososo ;
融合自省個人唸白與多元折衷的後搖/電子音樂風格,來自加拿大Saskatchewan的SOSO,已成為當前先鋒嘻哈與art rap運動中一個不容忽略的名字。
Soso delivers fragile vocal melodies and close, confessional lyrics over an assemblage of field recordings, electronic bleeps, programmed drums and sprawling instrumentation evocative of My Bloody Valentine and Do Make Say Think. Additional contributions from Maki and Scott Da Ros add punch to the lovely melodic soundscapes. Tinfoil on the Windows challenges typical genre conventions and soso treads this unfamiliar ground with crafty song writing and integrity.

PAINTED E.P. / miaou
Miaou接受音樂網站The Silent Ballet的訪問
1999年成立於東京，以三人為一體的Miaou與一眾新掘起的日本後搖樂隊一樣在默默做著變革，他們沒有像mono般衝出日本，卻一直緊守崗位，吸納著西方後搖的精神，卻注入東方的細膩表達手法。Miaou的作品沒有大喜大悲的戲劇段落，感情卻在緩緩流動，你可以感受到樂隊那種勇敢正面，卻又不失客觀抽離的世界觀。玩著這些沒有包袱的音樂，沒有要跟誰拼個你死我活，沒有要向那位大師致敬的亦步亦趨，更沒有Let's get rock and roll的盲目激情，原來日本後搖也可以如斯風光明媚, 2008年Miaou將到台灣演出，敬請期待！！ http://www.myspace.com/miaoumusic
THE SOUND / mar
試聽: http://www.myspace.com/silenticeland
讓Jimmy LaValle (Album Leaf)與Mum稱讚不已的美國新晉後搖樂隊Mar最新作品！
全新陣容帶來如Sigur Ros般纖細的旋律，凌厲的鼓擊，小提琴手Anton Patzner與大提琴手Zoe Keating的加入讓樂隊的弦樂編排更加氣勢磅礡。
THEY'LL COME, THEY COME / immanu el
很高興在Jeniferever、Sickoakes以及Library Tapes之後，今天還能聽見Immanu El這麼令人欣喜的瑞典後搖樂隊；Under your wings i'll hide這首長達10分鐘的傑作已是近年少見的Post-Rock沉長詩篇，優美感傷的旋律、緊緊相扣的吉他、貝斯與鼓點，揭開了「They'll Come, They Come」這張2007年最值得關注的樂隊處男專輯的序幕。來自瑞典新音樂重鎮Gothenburg的五人樂隊Immanu El，最初直叫人聯想起去年的 Jeniferever、Library Tapes等人；他們的音樂裡廣泛地吸納了Post-Rock、Soundscape等較為低限、緩飄的素材，再加上主音歌手Claes Strängberg那逼近Sigur Rós空靈脫俗的唱腔，委實動人。專輯裡如Home、Astral Days等幾首歌曲，都帶有冰島樂隊那一份不食人間煙火的孤絕與清寂氣氛。(Boyethan)

電台司令在《彩虹裡》展露的，無非是一次最完美的搖滾回歸！
他們染上了《The Bends》的原音吉他，承襲著《Kid A》的迷離電子，建造出媲美《OK Computer》折衷搖滾與電氣分子，其他樂團難以逾越的里程碑！成團近20年以來，電台司令只有不斷的用各種音樂型態超越自己，令人難以想見的，他們更為數位音樂歷史寫下新的一頁。
除卻轟動的媒體報導與耀眼的傳奇色彩，《彩虹裡》這10首樂曲的內心質地，更是為所有樂迷認真用耳朵檢視過，給予最高評價與感動的精彩大碟。第一首〈15 Step〉強烈的細碎Electro節拍，間配孩童擊掌歡笑聲，表現出電台司令難得一見的歡樂氣氛；正當猜想著他們是否要往主唱湯姆約克（Thom Yorke）個人專輯《The Eraser》的電氣拍譜靠近時，〈Bodysnatchers〉讓飆悍的吉他成為主奏，重新拾起《The Bends》失落的吉他音符，佐以湯姆約克的招牌神經質嗓音，過癮到極點！
專輯內最動人的催淚曲〈Nude〉緩緩流洩而出，弦樂似人聲低吟，美麗的讓人無法直視，在經典前作〈Creep〉的迷幻骨架中遊走，在〈No Surprises〉的穿刺洞悉中融合，淚水就在眼眶中打轉，不愧為電台司令樂迷最為期待的錄音室作品。而同樣為慢歌的〈All I Need〉，則交由貝斯主導，摹寫一種病態的偏執著迷。專輯主打歌〈Jigsaw Falling Into Place〉，無懈可擊的在電台司令一貫的抽離情緒中發展，直到巔峰才暫時劃下休止；此外，〈House Of Cards〉傾訴害羞的暗戀心情，實為電台司令少見的浪漫作品，〈Weird Fishes/Arpeggi〉滿佈著太空迷幻味道，而〈Videotape〉淡淡的鋼琴綴著，如果真有一抹低彩度的彩虹，我們也會相信，In red, blue, green，是離別錄影帶的極微限度了。
國外媒體一致給予《彩虹裡》最高評價，甚至譽為「2007年度專輯No.1」、「21世紀以來的第一張經典大碟」，其實，你只需要仰望彩虹的那端，聽著自己的心跳，這10首曲子，終將進駐你的唱片箱，並註定成為電台司令生涯中最棒的經典、最好的迷幻代表作！

45:33 / lcd soundsystem
45:33 was originally recorded by James Murphy (LCD Soundsystem) as a continuous album-length disco symphony. Commissioned by Nike for their Original Run series, it was the second in the series and proved a massive success, both critically and commercially. It is the result of Murphy's desire to create a piece of music outside the typical commercial constraints. 45:33 is a refreshing audio creation, complete and fulfilling, moving through a dynamic range of tempos and rhythms, all the while maintaining the essence of an LCD Soundsystem recording.
Nearly six months since the iTunes exclusive ended, 45:33 is now available for the first time on CD and double vinyl. The CD, which also includes three bonus tracks previously available in the UK only, remains intact as a singular piece of music that is spliced six times for easy navigation.
LOAD BLOWN / black dice
試聽: http://www.myspace.com/blackdicemyspace
Load Blown is the fourth album by Brooklyn's Black Dice. The beats drip and roll, tar-pit voices sing into an oil can, and the guitars crank like calliope. Some tunes crackle and burble like submerged television, others bump and click along like a Summer Jam concert series from another dimension.
The span of time (nearly 18 months of on-again/off-again work) encompassing the composition and recording of the album accounts for a sprawling variety of sounds and songs. Strange and abrasive, yet somehow more familiar, accessible, and celebratory than ever, this is Black Dice at their most palatable yet.

HVARF / HEIM / sigur ros
1997年，席格若斯(Sigur Ros)推出首張處女大碟《Von》，改寫了世人制式聆聽音樂法則。10年後，席格若斯在我們缺乏想像力的音樂年代中，獻上該團第四張創作大碟，長達71分鐘的雙CD作品。包括了3首全新作品，8首重新演繹風格曲目，讓樂迷體驗該團成軍十年來，仍具不斷開發新奇聽覺趣味的誠意。
CD 1中的開場首曲〈Salka〉前奏響起，Jon Thor Birgisson那超乎常人的高八度音色聲線，配上他們長期伴奏團隊Amiina協力管絃樂部份，那道幻夢霧茫的音樂質感立即讓歌迷頓入冰島低溫壯麗景致中，一種與世隔絕，與世上眾多樂團能有顯而易見的區隔性。(李光爵) ...繼續閱讀
