Nocturnal Emissions – Viral Shedding (Illuminated Records / Mannequin)
Covid-n n n n n n n nineteen – Viral Shedding goes viral – in the avant garden of Earthly Delights.
Between pure noise and electronic beats, ‘Viral Shedding’ is creating a twisted and percussive rhythmic urge, a funky disco sound permeated by digital industrial beats. Nigel Ayers and Caroline K take their inaccessible best and thrown it into the melting pot with a set of pumping rhythms. The result is the frustrated son of mutant disco, swimming in the same waters of Cabaret Voltaire, 23 Skidoo, Tackhead, Meat Beat Manifesto and Hula.
Fennesz – Paint It Black (Mego)

Virgin Prunes – Ulakanakulot + Decline and Fall (Rough Trade / Mute / The Grey Area)

Repeated Viewing – Nature’s Revenge (Spun Out of Control)
The inspiration for Nature’s Revenge came to me whilst sitting up a hill in the middle of the beautiful Scottish wilderness. The rugged landscapes of my homeland provide unparalleled moments of awe, often mixed with a sense of dread as the inevitable foul weather moves in. Surely the perfect location for some truly horrific cinematic shenanigans.

Time is Fire – Didn’t See It Coming (Electric Cowbell)
from Time Is Fire’s recent LP release. our weirdest track, for sure. which is why it’s a fave. “now children go to school in tiny tents he has made / the ‘art of the deal’, deporting children away.” having art to express NOW means everything to me.
