Artist Africa Hitech
Title 93 Million Miles
Label Warp
Africa Hitech are Mark Pritchard (of Harmonic 313 / Global Communications / countless more psuedonyms’ fame) and Steve Spacek (of Spacek fame and notable Dilla collaborator).  They began bonding over their shared passion for the seemingly disparate spheres of bubbling Detroit techno, soul and fierce Jamaican digital dancehall. Africa Hitech is the moniker which represents both Steve and Mark’s love for all things progressive within music, whilst acknowledging that the roots of much of today’s popular music can be traced directly back to Africa.

Title Afternoon Tea
Label Black Truffle
Reissue of star studded session from 2000, remastered with additional unreleased live material.

Artist Amiina
Title Kurr
Label Ever

Amiina are 4 Icelandic ladies, sometime Sigur Ros collaborators who have also worked with Efterklang.  Their last release set our world alight and here’s the full length release we’ve been waiting for.  Think minimal but sweeping sounds are created with a whole range of expertly played instrments (strings, brass, drums, harpsichord) and use is made of less conventional ’instruments’ such as wine glasses, bells, metalophones, Celtic harps, water glasses, musical saws, glockenspiels and kalimbas.  All this is set off with a bit of subdued wonderment creating an evocative and distinctively Icelandic sound.

Title Krieg und Frieden (Music for Theatre)
Label Mute

Krieg und Frieden (Music for Theatre) is a soundtrack for theatre production War and Peace by German electronic artist Sascha Ring, aka Apparat. The entire project was commissioned by German art festival Ruhrfestspiele and directed by Sebastian Harmann, who involved Ring from the outset. The record veers away from the swelling beats that are a staple of Apparat’s own sound to concentrate on the atmospheric drones and noise that are intersected by the wonderful, melodic motifs here.

Title For Now I am Winter
Label Decca
For Now I Am Winter is Ólafur Arnalds’ third full-length studio album. His earlier albums, soundtracks and EPs, have been released through the Berlin based cult label Erased Tapes.

Building and expanding on his previous more minimalist work, Arnalds’ new album is his first to involve a full orchestra (coarranged by Nico Muhly) and a vocalist (Agent Fresco lead singer Arnór Dan) on selected tracks, making it his most broadly appealing work to date.

Artist Autechre
Title Exai
Label Warp
Eleventh album from Rochdale’s most famous sons sprawls across two whole CDs [or 4LP box set], totaling two-and-a-half hours of music, and is released without fanfare or promotional excerpts, of which it has no need. Autechre’s unique and instantly recognizable sound is quite unlike anything else on earth, and has made them probably the most famous and commercially successful outfit operating in the field of experimental music.
