Label Trunk
Alongside Delia Derbyshire and Brian Hodgson, John Baker composed themes, idents and incidental recordings for the BBC, and until recently, were thought to be lost.

Artist Karl Bartos (Kraftwerk)
Title Off The Record
Label Bureau B
For Off the Record, Karl Bartos has opened up his music archive for the very first time. He rediscovered and analysed hundreds of tapes, piles of sheet music, and years of digital media. Inspired by his acoustic diary and adding his experience as a composer and producer, he has created twelve brand new songs - written and performed with masterly skill. It took him two years to accomplish this original Bartos album: iron crystal music, vocoder newspeak, robot sounds, digital glitch, techno pop, catchy melodies, electronic avant-garde, roaring silence, futurism, and, of course, those rhythms!

Title Gloss Drop
Label Warp
The album ranges from lead track ‘Ice Cream’, a “grunty, squelchy, jubilant freakout” according to the NME, and Radio 1’s The Hottest Record In The World - a calypso tinged rhythmic juggernaut powering through the airwaves of Radio 1, XFM and 6Music, through to denser, more industrial tracks (‘My Machines’, featuring Gary Numan, is a prime example) – at times playful, at times hard-edged, but always unmistakably Battles.  Outgoing member Tyondai Braxton’s vocals have made way for a host of guest vocalists, ranging from Numan to Kazu from Blonde Redhead and Eye from Boredoms.
The album is released on digipack gatefold CD with a poster insert, and limited edition double gatefold vinyl with download code (limited to 700 copies in the UK).

Title Mirrored
Label Warp
Muchos anticipated album so prepare to be dazzled by what some are already hailing as the album of the year. It’s not much like the preceding release EP C/B EP as it’s less sound scape and more math rock.

Artist Beak > (Geoff Barrow)
Title >>
Label Invada
Hot on the heels of his Quakers hip hop project and the Judge Dredd-inspired Drokk soundtrack collaboration (BOTH recommended!), Geoff Barrow (Portishead) unveils the second Beak> album, the Krautrock inspired band formed with Billy Fuller and Matt Williams. Obvious reference points include CAN (no bad thing) BUT this is far darker …. But not quite as dark as Drokk.

Title Mind Bokeh
Label WARP
The anticipated follow up to his celebrated 2009 Warp debut, ‘Ambivalence Avenue’, this will certainly be happy news to the countless number of fans he has won over since release of the last album. ‘Mind Bokeh’ (pronounced similarly to ‘bouquet’) is set to exceed expectations of existing fans and newcomers alike with its full on, neon-lit pop whilst not compromising on any of the vintage, textured production that makes up Bibio’s trademark sound.

Title Music For Real Airports
Label Soma
Music for Real Airports has plenty to say. It’s challenging and accomplished in equally large quantities, and hopefully, as happened in the early ’90s, an example of a deeper form of art that will be followed by others.

Artist The Black Ghosts
Title The Black Ghosts
Label Southern Fried
This is ace - bassy fun music for dancing. It’s a collaboration between Simon Lord (ex of Simian Mobile Disco) and Theo Keating (The Wiseguys).

Artist Black To Comm
Title Alphabet 1968
Label Type
Marc Richter (aka Black to Comm) is no newcomer to the experimental music scene. As the figurehead of the Hamberg-based Dekorder label, the musician and designer has brought countless oddities to the attention of rabid music fans in the last few years, but it is with his own compositions that he has made the biggest splash.

With this latest album it was Richter’s intention to move away from the epic drones he had made his own and into something more ’classic’.

Artist James Blake
Title James Blake
Label Atlas
This is the eagerly awaited debut album from everyones top tip for 2011! The past couple of years have seen creative explosions and new generations coming through in both dancefloor electronics and heartfelt, introspective singer-songwriting, but self evidently they’ve remained mutually exclusive genre islands. Until now. With a uniquely emotional electronic production style every bit as deeply personal and impassioned as his voice or songwriting. Marketing wise he is everywhere - there will be no escape from this groundbreaking album

Title Trans Canada Highway
Label Warp
New EP from one of Warp’s finest acts.Following on from  last year’s ’Campfire Headphase’ Boards of Canada release this glorious 30 minute hallucinogenic roadtrip. The sun kissed ’Dayvan Cowboy’ is the starter, and neatly the 6 track EP is wrapped up with a remix of the track courtesy of cLOUDDEAD’s Oss Nosdam. The most excting thing is that accompanying ’Dayvan Cowboy’ is the first ever Boards of Canada’ video. It’s truly beautiful, using reassembled documentary footage to translate the power and atmosphere of the music into a dreamlike, imaginary journey from space, into the sea and to the shore, in one continuous sequence.
