"Death Jokes" is the first AMEN DUNES album in 6 years & his first for Sub Pop. During that time took a step back & reconsidered his approach to songwriting & started piano lessons & learning how to program drums. The result is a quirky mix of his artfully crafted indie rock with some electronic beats, some that almost have a herky jerky quality at times. It's not as much of a stretch as you might think & fans should be happy AMEN DUNES has returned.

Put it on the books, Animal Collective's ninth full length is ready for consumption, and prepared to make the beginning of your musical year great! With their usual chaotic, vocal eccentricities and meditative, musical complications "Merriweather Post Pavilion" seems to have come to an agreement between the two polar angles that Animal Collective have explored. At times their vocals entangle with one another into infinity, and at other moments there is a peaceful drone to enjoy. Avey Tare and Noah Lennox (aka Panda Bear) find this happy medium and give fans a new perspective on what their collaboration can sound like.

after nearly five years of silence, richard d. james aka APHEX TWIN releases two CDs full of music, clocking in at nearly 140 minutes of masterful electronic sounds from the king of IDM. what to expect? while contemporaries like AUTECHRE chose to annihilate the genre altogether and likewise SQUAREPUSHER challenged his listeners to points of unlistenable, APHEX TWIN keeps it real with throwbacks to familiar sounds mixed in with techniques to turn the old on its head. most significant are the piano piddling moments of ambience interlayed between epic drum n' bass meets broken beatz epics. "drukqs" is the APHEX fix you've been waiting for. and then some. This album is difficult to find on CD and nearly impossible to find on vinyl. Don't sleep on it!

CD Reissue of 2006 LP with Bonus Tracks. UK Import!
