This offering from elusive Celtic new age artist Enaid seems to be the work of David and Diane Arkenstone, the prolific contemporary instrumental duo. Their fingerprints are all over Avalon: A Celtic Legend: lush soundscapes, enjoyable melodies, and a certain cinematic sweep, but as is the case with many of their releases there is little to actually hold the listener’s attention.

That being said, the album is a perfectly fine collection of wispy, vaguely Celtic new age tunes, ideal for background music on a cold and rainy fall day. Download Link: Password: greekdb Posted in . It’s been impossible to escape the name Buraka Som Sistema in the last couple of years. The Portuguese/Angolan crew first came into public awareness in 2006 with an inclusion on an Institubes mix CD, which promptly caught the attention of any bloggers who hadn’t already heard of the crew’s blend of Hi-NRG electro, house and Afro rhythms better known as Kuduro in their native Portugal and Angola respectively.

The band have since become the default African party band of choice for trendy youths and music heads looking for the newest thing outta Africa, and their close links with Diplo and the Hot Chip related Greco Roman label solidified their approval rating, earning them support across the board. Now signed to London clubbing powerhouse Fabric‘s in-house label they deliver their debut album loaded with party hot killers and club ready goods designed for play for a peaktime rumpus anywhere. ‘Kalemba Wegue Wegue’ was recently released through Greco-Roman records and is included here, a surefire and definitive BSS anthem is there ever was one, while ‘Sound Of Kuduro’ feat DJ Znobia, Puto Prata, and Saborosa alongside M.I.A easily deserves to be a massive hit with it’s excitement synthlines and standardly damn effective dancing rhythms.

For the diggers there’s their first ever release ‘Yah!’ which set off the whole thing in the first place, and a hookup with UK grime prettyboy Kano on ‘Skank & Move’ with a syck syncopated groove with deadly 808s making the compatibility with Bassline or Funky blatantly obvious. The best is certainly saved til last though, with ‘New Africas pt.1&2’ painting the scene with a spoken intro before humping up with a shockingly deadly percussive rush weaved with rave signals and mean electro synths to leave you drenched in sweat and grunting for more.

Purely effective dancing gear for fans of Mujava, Diplo, Geeneus, Hot Chip, Skepta and raving with style. Track Listing: 1. Luanda/Lisboa (feat. Dj Znobia) – 4:22 2.

On the Gossip’s major-label debut — 12 Rick Rubin–produced tracks spanning minimalist disco, post-punk, and garage — the trio extends the gay-positive message of 2006’s “Standing in the Way of Control,” the single that broke them in Europe seven years after the band started. Yet frontwoman Beth Ditto remains caught somewhere between Donna Summer and Dolly Parton: she loves to love, but all those complications keep her down. Ditto is obsessed with the word itself: “love” appears in three song titles, not including the dark, pulsing “Four-Letter Word” (which is about you know what). Rarely, as on centerpiece “Men in Love”, does she actually celebrate it. She breaks up that track’s kicker (“Men in lovewith each otherhey!”) with expectant pauses, as her phrasing mimics the song’s jerky rhythm. On “For Keeps”, Ditto sets up an us-versus-the-world argument, but the condition of the settlement is the persistently unfulfillable “need to be free.” Ditto’s huge voice can’t do soft, so it shoots skyward on “Love Long Distance”, and coupled with a mechanical piano and canned beat, the band starts to sound a bit catatonic.

But the rest of Music for Men is a tightly wound disco-punk conjugation. In the end, that’s the only love affair the band happily consummates. Track Listing: 1. Dimestore Diamond – 3:15 2. Heavy Cross – 4:02 3.

Spare Me From The Mold – 2:27 Rapidshare Links: Password: GreekDB Posted in . The self titled debut solo record from The Knife’s Karin Dreijer Andersson is surely the years most anticipated album so far.

We certainly couldn’t argue with the legion of support marching in formation behind this gorgeously gothic pop masterpiece, from The OMM to The Wire and countless message boards across the web this is an album which has solidified the success of The Knife, but also added a level of cosmic dread that transcends the pop sensibility at the heart of the material. The album manages to snag on the intangible emotional thread running from Faith-era Cure through to early Human league, or the Cocteau Twins best on ‘Seven’ to Boards Of Canada’s most emotive moments on the stunning ‘Dry And Dusty’ or Aphex’s paradoxically knowing melodic naivety on ‘When I Grow Up’.

The darkly sparse spirit and pop character of Fever Ray is typically Scandinavian, like a rich red claret to Alphabeat’s fizzing bellabrusco with lead single and instant winner ‘If I Had A Heart’, or a sleeker and less eccentric Bjork jamming with Ryuichi Sakamoto on ‘Triangle Walk’ or a Swedish Kate Bush on the elegiac ‘Keep the Streets Empty For Me’. Somtimes the most simple and well applied effects work the best and Karin’s use of deathly pitched vocals throughout the set is just one of its defining touches, lending a transcendent depth to the technopop skip that lovers of classic Depeche Mode, Kraftwerk or Chris and Cosey will find good reason to fall deeply in love with. Utterly amazing.
