Yunx - Customer Service ep (Yunx Recordings) I'd say this was the best thing Yunx has put out yet, but I haven't heard all their records. So instead I'll just say it's the best thing I've heard by them. A very varied release with lots of different moods from upbeat to laid back. Track A1 is just the tops.
Gique - (Device) - New pseudonym of Datathief on Datathief's new record label. Well, at least one member of Datathief anyway. Gique has a different sound than Datathief material. Icy futuristic electro with a techno/new wave edge to it. Sounds good on 45 and 33. A noisy electro remix by Mat 101 finishes things up nicely. And as an added bonus it comes in a really cool plastic sleeve.
Bokatsu and Pliant - 1 up (Systorm Technologies) a two track 7" that might appeal to someone on this list. A Side has 'Mario vs. Bowser' by Bokatsu which is nothing more or less than a very faithful (and very good) cover of music from Mario Bros'. Kind of a medly of different themes. Side two is 'Zelda's Windmill' by Pliant. Which stands all by itself as a cool song, and features a really great lead synth melody. No familiarity with the games in question is required, but it probably helps. Hmmm, I don't know why I think that the this list might have a higher percentage of people familiar with the music of these games than the general populace.
