"...as good a debut album to emerge from the North as anything since The Undertones. Setting it's cap firmly in the camp of mid-80's widescreen indie (at times it sounds unerringly like a long lost Martin Hannett gem), it has a self-assurance, and gentle surety that, really, should only appear a few more records down the line. That a trio from Belfast has managed to do this is terrific. That they've also managed to stamp their personality the whole way through is cause for greater delight. These Hearts are on fire."

Bands like this are few and far between. Out of nowhere (well, a remote Scottish isle) comes the band most likely to -in 2001, with some of the best pop songs, wearing their influences on their sleeves but with a sincerity and talent, so rare these days. Think somewhere between The Beach Boys, Mazarin, the Sneetches, Grant Lee Buffalo and you're on the right track. Stick on the title track, lie back and watch their star ascend.

Third and toughest single from the most exciting band in Britain, "Young Offenders" reeks of Glasgow housing estate lamp-post light love affairs after curfew. It's backed with the Buildings alter-ego, "Daylighting" - a romantic, finite Summer call that recalls, oh, possibly The Sundays first album.

Reviews and press

In recent years, Iceland has become the surprise focus of innovative music from The Sugarcubes to Bjork to Gus Gus to Sigor Ros. This more lateral approach to sound is evident in spades on the MUM album. Gya, Kristin, Gunnar and Orvar wind gorgeous acoustic instruments and childlike vocals around stuttering future beats to produce something new and distinctive.
"If Plone were produced by Dr Rockit, they might sound something like this. An album of infinite beauty and strange power." - MUZIK
"Heavy on the ethereal button and fond of shimmering melodies, this is hard to fault...their offbeat hallucinatory ballads and nursery rhymes recall the minimalist funk of techno innovator Derrick May and Stereolab...Mum also sound unique, passionate and gorged with special talent...5/5" - THE GUARDIAN

An excitable follow-up to the massively acclaimed "The Leanover" that loses none of the freshness and uniqueness of it's predecessor and marries Gang Of Four with The Velvet Underground. No-one sounds like this right now and thus, is cuts through the tired indie bullshit like a hot knife. Buy it.

There's always been an introspective, often dark undercurrent to the best of contemporary Australian songwriting from Nick Cave to the Triffids to The Apartments to The Go-Betweens and Sodastream are no exception, though they seem to have harnessed the melancholy and sculpted it into something beautiful. Karl Smith has the most expressive folk voice since Nick Drake and along with Peter Cohen, he's crafted one of the most touching albums of recent memory. Timeless.

A shock collaboration between the US trio responsible for some of the most evocative, quiet, mesmeric music ever made and Britain's most innovative soundsmiths, recorded in 1999 during Low's UK tours. All four tracks are lush, gorgeously orchestrated and possess an almost celestial beauty. An NME Single Of The Week : "It's love enacted at a traumatised pace, in an atmosphere of approaching menace..."

A record that came out of the blue and bowled over almost everyone who came in contact with it. Only 3 months in, Rough Trade Shops were calling it the Single Of The Year. "The Leanover/New Town" is artpop with rhythmic, motorik muscle, merging early Talking Heads with The Raincoats but with a boundless, electric energy.

"No More Art" is two and a half minutes of urgent, blitzkrieg artpop that skewers Pavement and Disco Inferno in one thrust whilst the b-side is a slow-building motorik instrumental with shades of Bark Psychosis.

This collection features songs dating from the band's first album, "I Could Live In Hope" in 1994 to the current, universally-acclaimed "Secret Name" LP. The tape starts with 5 films by Kirstin Grieve featuring tracks from the "Songs For A Dead Pilot" EP and "Secret Name" LP. Also included are Low's three videos made whilst signed to Vernon Yard Recordings - a holy grail for Low fans as the films have only existed in a promotional capacity until now and were virtually impossible to see.

It's easy to see why drum'n'bass purists have a problem with Spring Heel Jack. Since 1991 they've been lending the tools of the genre to build their own inimitable contortions of the breakbeat and the low end bass mumble but with what's often described as "cimematic" flair. In fact, it's easy to imagine these tracks as soundtracks to the films of 2020 - multi faceted, hyperspeed, violent, calm, melancholy in turns, "Treader" genre-hops like a flickbook.

"....It's the record Spring Heel Jack have always threatened to make....it's no wonder Goldie has decided to try his hand at acting. He's probably running scared...." - NME

Reviews and Press

ISAN have been releasing records, mostly limited edition 7"'s, on cool underground indie labels for almost two years now. "Beautronics" is their first full-lengther - the one their devoted fanbase has been waiting for and the one that'll take them out of the bedroom and into the limelight as forerunners of the new breed of future-retro electronica. "Beautronics" is a charming, minimal analogue "paintchart" that sets them somewhere between Plone and early-70's educational TV soundtracks.
"
....(These) dark touches are what elevate "Beautronics" way above mere whimsy, and transform it into a soundtrack for a Teletubbieland designed by Salvador Dali. Excellent." - MIXMAG
"if you like your electIf ronica to come on like Boards Of Canada or early Aphex Twin, you'll love this album!" - CAFE BLISS

Vic Godard probably needs no introduction - founding frontman of the legendary Subway Sect, Rough Trade and Postcard Records veteran, English eccentric, postman. Godard's been quiet in the 90's but "Long Term Side Effect" assures his place alongside Paul Weller and Kevin Rowland as one corner of the great 3 post-punk visionnaries triptych immortalised in Kevin Pearce's "Something Beginning With O." It's an eclectic blend of swing, pop, (Northern) soul and breakbeat carried off with Godard's inimitable flair and style.

The indie success story of 1998, the "Shorley Wall EP" by the most original pop band to come out of Liverpool in years, sold 13,000 copies on release after becoming Single of The Week on 3 BBC radio shows and in Melody Maker. It's Gorky Zygotic Mynci interpreting "Pet Sounds" - over half an hour of twisted sentiment and big singalong choruses.
