Artist Ratatat
Title LP4
Label XL
This album, their fourth for XL, was conceived during the prolific ’LP3’ recording sessions. The band describe LP4 as a weirder listen than ’LP3’, with a much braver approach to the arrangements. Ratatat incorporated even more sounds and instruments into the mix on this album, working for the first time with a full string section, which they recorded at Glassworks Studios in Manhattan.

Artist Remember Remember
Title Remember Remember
Label ROCKACTION
From the Rockaction website: "The self-titled debut from Remember Remember has been a work in progress for the best part of 2008. Initially recorded in Green Door Studios in Glasgow, Graeme has spent the whole summer period working alongside Steven Ward to produce a record that we’re sure will capture people’s imagination. It’s an ambitious, epic record that is different to a lot of stuff we’ve released on Rock Action however we’re immensely proud of the results and can’t wait to let people hear it."

Artist ROBERT LIPPOK
Title Redsuperstructure
Label Raster Norton
Simple sonic events are unfolding themselves and evoke the sound of an Orffean children ensemble. Pleasant and strange noises join a bass foundation that recreates the ground shaking subsonic waves of mid-nineties drum&bass. It‘s like a drum major meets a Tibetan monk. They try to do a dervish thing together, elegant and funky, which forcibly drags the slowest souls out of their torpor and forces them to run and jump*. Loops radiate, something is bouncing, the universe steps out of an anti-academic cloud, into your mind and the unexplored regions of our sensibility*.

Artist Roedelius
Title Jardin Au Fou

Artist Rudi Zygadlo
Title Great Western Laymen
Label Planet Mu
Prepare your ears and adjust your brain for some of the most inventive modern pop you’ll hear all year, with Rudi Zygadlo’s debut ‘Great Western Laymen’. Rudi Zygadlo makes pop music like no-one else, taking the fundamentals of dubstep in a direction that is as unexpected as it is unique, he’s created an amalgamation of pop song writing with a contemporary electronic rewiring which is heavy with influences as wide as Frank Zappa, John Carpenter, Eastern European Classical music and contemporary US indie. Working like a disciplined artist, Rudi’s music squeezes the most out of what he’s got, working with a restricted palette of sounds, using no plug-ins, but layering on live instruments to give the music an added depth, and the results are astounding.
