So Beautiful and So Dangerous
http://chthonicstreams.bigcartel.com/product/so-beautiful-and-so-dangerous-digipak-cd
( ;D --> So Beautiful and So Dangerous… rarely has so appropriate a title ever been given to a work of art as on the latest album from the New York experimental collective known as Dream into Dust. Never ones to succumb to easy categorization with their effective mix of emotionally charged melody and avant-garde soundscapes, the duo of Derek Rush and Bryin Dall have spent the better part of six years working on a worthwhile follow-up to 2003’s The Lathe of Heaven, an album that in this writer’s mind stands as one of the past decade’s most overlooked and most devastating musical experiences. With this third full-length album, the band pulls all the stops to take listeners through a nightmarishly satisfying journey that is as depressing as it is blissful, as introspective as it is expansive.)

Covered by Metallica, Foo Fighters and more, Killing Joke’s apocalyptic vision continues to draw praise from such high-profile supporters as Jimmy Page and Billy Corgan, and the band’s considerable musical legacy can be heard in the works of Nirvana, Ministry, Nine Inch Nails and the like – artists whose rise to fame never saw them cutting ties with the underground/alternative scene.)

Tristesse Contemporaine
www.myspace.com/tristessecontemporaine
( ;D --> For a group with only one released song (and an interpolation of Paul Simon's '50 Ways To Leave Your Lover' at that), the trio of Parisian ex-pats known as Tristesse Contemporaine have sure built up quite a monolith of mystery. Their name comes from a small publication by art historian Hippolyte Fierens Gevaert, though finding out much more is difficult. If not impossible. However, comprised of Narumi and Mau from Telepopmusik and Leo from Aswefall, their musical output has caught the attention of the Parisian underground.)

Lorn

( ;D --> At the forefront of a new generation of hiphop-leaning electronica producers, Lorn comes branded with the Flying Lotus seal of approval. Lorn, dropping the dynamic hiphop electronica with impressively powerful synth arpeggiations between scuttling drums and digital strings, benefitting from a mastering job by Chris Clark, with slow and grinding hiphop rhythms rubbed with basalt horror synths and advanced digital processing. fans of everything from NIN to Gaslamp Killer should check )
Ask The Dust
http://ninjatune.net/release/lorn/ask-the-dust
( ;D --> Lorn returns with a new full-length album, his debut on Ninja Tune, and it’s a huge stride forward since Nothing Else (released on Brainfeeder, June 2010). Listening back to his first album, Lorn says it now seems “cold and strict.” Ask The Dust, on the other hand, is “haunted, oily, smeared,” and with this description he captures something of the intensely felt, visceral aliveness of the music.)

After playing locally and releasing an early EP entitled D.N.A, they quickly became known as a fresh, innovative act.)

( ;D --> Maestro is a trio. 2 third French, 1 third Scottish :
A sound maniac. An addiction specialist. A Genesis P-Orridge worshiper. Produced between the Tigersushi studio and a cave, it sounds more epic than ever. On the B-side, the Horrors deliver a synth heavy dubby remix that sounds like a collab between The Residents and Emperor Machine. Dub-not-dub, Disco-not-Disco, Pop-not-Pop.)

Timbuck (The Horrors Remix)
http://www.piccadillyrecords.com/products/Maestro-TimbuckInc.HorrorsRemix-Tigersushi-83424.html
( ;D --> New epic electronic pop single by French / Scottish trio Maestro. Their original version of "Timbuck" has a driving 4/4 house beat, indie vocals and plenty of bleeping electronics and synth work. Indie-dance we calls it. The Horrors remix on the flipside is a bit special, riding a motorik rhythm with a sliding acid bassline, hissing cymbals, krautrock analogue synths and a side order of BBC Radiophonic sound effects. The kind of thing you might hear Andrew Waetherall spinning down at his Love From Outer Space club night.)

Suburban Knight 
www.myspace.com/suburbanknight
( ;D --> James Pennington Profile: A crucial figure on the outskirts of Detroit techno since the mid '80s, James Pennington's recordings as the Suburban Knight pioneered the moodier side of the Motor City with classics like "The Art of Stalking" and "The Groove." And though he collaborated on the biggest hit to come out of Detroit, the techno-pop monster "Big Fun" by Inner City, he later recorded with subterranean mainstays Underground Resistance.)

John Talabot
http://soundcloud.com/john-talabot
www.myspace.com/johntalabot
( ;D --> Barcelona house producer John Talabot has a knack for capturing the very specific kind of bliss associated with dancing on Mediterranean beaches at the height of summer. A penchant for rising chords means that all his melodies make you feel like raising your arms and face to the sun. Talabot also has arguably the greatest sense of build-and-release in dance music since prime Booka Shade: ƒin is full of incredible tension-releasing moments, from the extended break in Destiny to the entrance of Missing You's bouncing bass. The generosity of Talabot's sound can also be ascribed to the amount of disparate ingredients he puts to use in service of his aesthetic – particularly the variety of human voices on display. There are wordless chants and bright, optimistic pop hooks; an echoing scream is plucked from a horror film and deposited in the middle of a carnival on Oro y Sangre, while on So Will Be Now, cut-up vocals coalesce gradually and gorgeously into recognisable language.)

Skinny Puppy
www.myspace.com/skinnypuppy http://skinnypuppy.com
( ;D --> Drawing from the pioneering work of artists like Throbbing Gristle, Cabaret Voltaire, and Suicide, the dark avant-industrial group Skinny Puppy formed in 1982 in Vancouver, British Columbia. Originally a duo comprised of former Images in Vogue drummer cEvin Key (born Kevin Crompton) and Nivek Ogre (aka Kevin Ogilvie), Skinny Puppy followed their debut cassette, Back and Forth, with the EP Remission, the first of many recordings with producer David "Rave" Ogilvie, in 1984. With a squsic uique sound of twisted, metaphorical lyrics combined with technoid madness, shock and terror aestethics with an dystopic, eerie feeling of hopelessness. Skinny Puppy are widely considered the founders of electro-industrial music; forming and cultivating the industrial sound that inspired bands such as Nine Inch Nails, KMFDM and Marilyn Manson.)Bootlegged, Broke And In Solvent Seas (released on June 12.)
www.metropolis-mailorder.com/product.php?prodnum=MET+810
SP_amazon
( ;D --> Metropolis Records writes: "Raw, uncompromising, and visceral, Skinny Puppy live cannot be called simply a concert. It is an experience. Bootlegged, Broke And In Solvent Seas proves this to be true. Recorded in Warsaw, Bratislava, Hildesheim, and Budapest, this is a documentation of Skinny Puppy in top form. Unlike so many other live albums, there is no editing magic or trickery. These are the songs as they were played: captured from the soundboard and a handheld recorder by Ken ‘Hi-Watt’ Marshall. Ogre’s powerful vocal performances coupled with cEvin Key’s synth modulations and sound manipulations and the machine-precise drums of Justin Bennet make this a stunning testimony to the power of this legendary act.")

Hailing from Italy's creative ground zero that is Bologna, they are set out to win the hearts of the pop-savvy people in Europe with their hyperactive tribal jams and off-kilter drone sounds. Whilst Gianlorenzo is not an unknown person in the sprawling Italian pop scene, having toured Europe with his outfit Buzz Aldrin and being affiliated with the likes of His Clancyness and Banjo Or Freakout, Chiara is the dark horse, having almost no musical experiences. They rocked one of London's finest clubs, Corsica Studios, earlier last year in their very first gig together.)
