KING
MIDAS SOUND
"Without you"
From industrial
grind pioneer to dread-dub preacherman, Kevin Martin has found
many ways to express heavy over the last 20-odd years. The softness
that he ushered in with his King Midas Sound project, a collaboration
with sugar-voiced street poet Roger Robinson, was something
new, however. Here, Martin hands debut album Waiting For You
to a team of remixers.

"Weather"
Her ninth album
in 20 years, Weather expands upon Meshell's eclectic and iconic
style with an album of intimate songwriting. Produced by Grammy-winner
Joe Henry (Aimee Mann, Solomon Burke, Ani DiFranco), Weather
finds Meshell experimenting with sparse, orchestral melodies
paired with thoughtful lyrics, all performed by a band of fearsome
musicians.

THE OPIATES
"Hollywood under the knife"
The Opiates is
the latest project from The Queen of Electronic Soul Billie
Ray Martin, together with Norwegian techno-electro musician
Robert Solheim. Already dubbed in the press as The Carpenters
of Electro, their album Hollywood Under The Knife explores paths
pioneered by the heroes of Chicago house and Detroit techno,
not least Electribe 101, with the aim of taking things forward
a giant step or two. Hollywood Under The Knife is an album of
real substance, both musically and visually.

thrilling acoustic journey across the heart of Mexico from Pacific
to Atlantic coast using archive recordings to recreate a rail

TALK
TALK / MARK HOLLIS
"Laughing stock / S/t"
Two hugely influential
albums - Talk Talk's Laughing Stock and Mark Hollis' eponymous
solo album have at long last been made available on vinyl again
- pressed up by Ba Da Bing after years in the out-of-print wilderness.
It's impossible to overstate the love felt by so many for the
two experimental Talk Talk albums - Spirit of Eden and Laughing
Stock. Following the commercial triumph of their singles It's
My Life, Life's What You Make It and album The Colour of Spring
Talk Talk retreated back into the shadows and produced two albums
that defied categorisation.

GUI
BORATTO
"III"
Gui Boratto's snappily
titled III is, unsurprisingly, his third album, and finds him
balancing his sophisticated Trance-Techno formula with a sleek,
but grittily EBM/Wave-informed tilt. He starts out purposefully
slow and sensually synthy, like John Carpenter for 2011, before
the tempo builds with the brooding Big-room tension of Stems From
Hell.

Fennesz's first

bass, synths, computers, Fennesz continues to engage and entrance
us in equal measure. Fennesz writes: "Seven Stars was recorded
in Vienna in January 2011. I recorded and mixed the album within
3 weeks. Liminal and July were existing pieces which i have reworked.
There is also a version of Liminal that I have been playing live
for some time."

Ivy have often flirted
with an electronic approach over the years, but 2011's All Hours
finds the trio delving into the more electronic pop end of their

featuring the talents of vocalist Dominique Durand, along with
guitarist/songwriter Adam Schlesinger and multi-instrumentalist
Andy Chase, All Hours follows up 2005's In the Clear.

Luomo (aka Vladislav Delay) returns with his new full lenght release

Chicago house and the pop sensibilities of 80s London, coupled

SANDRO
PERRI
"Impossible spaces"
Among the lively
artistic community of Toronto, Sandro Perri, whose other musical
projects include Polmo Polpo and Glissandro 70, is all but universally
beloved as a local and national musical treasure. Partly improvised,
partly composed, and roughly equal parts acoustic, electronic,
melodic, noisy, rock, jazz, folk, classical, psychedelic and experimental.

RUSTIE
"Glass swords"
Following Warp debut
– 2010's Sunburst EP – Rustie emerged as a crown jewel
within Glasgow’s already-deep talent pool of genre-busting
electronic music producers. The now-classic early releases showcased
Rustie’s love for obscure Japanese prog-rock, 16-bit video
game sonics, icy grime and Detroit techno; creating a vision of
the future of rave music.

SNAKEFARM
"My halo at half-light"
My Halo At Half-Light
continues where the previous album left off and features scintillating
arrangements that bring these stories from our collective past
into the sunlight of today. Anna Domino's stunning vocals are
the high point of this unexpected gem, a voice that is at once
smoky and crisp, somber and wickedly stormy, perfectly matched
to the task of bringing new and disturbing life to such overworked
material.

WILSON
"Gentle spirit"
We really dig Jonathan
Wilson’s Gentle Spirit here at MOJO. Awarded four stars
in the last issue of the mag, it’s a record that channels
the hazy melancholy of David Crosby’s If I Could Only Remember
My Name and the bucolic calm of Gary Higgins’ Red Hash.

THE
RAINCOATS
"Odyshape"
Released in 1981, the Raincoats' second album,
Odyshape, has long been a personal favorite, a record of strength
through failure and of constructing new landscapes from pieces
of puzzle. This album remains one of the most unique and truly
forward-looking records of the post-punk era in that it sees the
Raincoats creating a new language out of personal need rather
than gain; traditional songforms are recognized but never subscribed,
guest appearances by percussionists Robert Wyatt and This Heat/Camberwell
Now's Charles Hayward.

"Pulse"
2011 album from

with a deep emotional undertow of unrequited love, the album
nails everything people have always said about Astrid. If Joni
Mitchell had looked into the future when she was about to record
Blue and absorbed the influence of Talk Talk, it might well
have come out sounding like pared-back currents of Pulse - a
haunting intensity of uplifting light and space.

first record really to transcend that influence.
