Horizontally Contructed Shadows
Mark Farrow Artwork for Spiritualized's A+E
Do you believe in magic ?
Animal Collective - Street Flash : From the Water Curses EP, another freaked out pop gem by the bastard children of Brian Wilson. Soothing melodies over ear-bending screams and throw in all of the noises associated with your gold pinky ring falling down the sink. OhKnow!!!
Borko - Spoonstabber : Another great release off of the Morr Music label from Bjorn Kristiansson. Who doesn't like the sound of birds chirping unless you're lost, and then it can get a bit eery?
Four Tet - Wing Body Wing : The warm sounds of Kieren Hebden are presented in a more traditional fourfour format (say that 3x) on this track from the Ringer EP. His 2nd full length player, Rounds is still one of my favorites and helped me to open my ears to world of melody and abstract beats.
Spiritualized - Soul On Fire : I didn't believe in the effectiveness of the new A+E prescription which stands for Accident + Emergency a few months back, as with the new Portishead concoction as well, but both have grown on me. Jason Pierce returns back to melodic form on this release and makes you want to shun that third stint in rehab, church, or both.
Labels: animal collective, borko, four tet, spiritualized

Love your taste in music. Especially your Spritualized comments. I have F*cked up Inside on vinyl and can no longer get a clean transfer. Would you be willing to email me some mp's of the other 5 tracks on the CD in exchange for stuff I have that I think you might like. I saw essentially track for track the same show at the Black Cat in DC standing 5 feet from J Spaceman and still regard it as the best show I have ever seen. I can't agree more with your comments that this album better than any other captures the essence of Spiritualized live. Royal Albert hall was a major let down. The only other thing that comes close is the single track recording of "Things will Never Be The Same" on the Disc 2 of the Let It Flow 3 disc set of singles. Anyway, thanks for your posts and I hope to hear back from you. John
what's your email addy ?
