WARNING: Reading the following may directly affect your bank account.
Some
of the new reviews are so gushing in approval you will feel compelled to
increase your music collection at once. That being said, check out the
latest reviews:
Lusine: Serial Hodgepodge
Lusine's latest features his familiar crisp, machiney-yet-glittery
aesthetic, but with the interspersed 4/4 foray.

Julian Fane: Special Forces
Julian Fane's newest effort on Planet Mu is the sound that Radiohead
probably aimed to achieve--and failed.
http://www.modsquare.com/modsquare_more.php?id=233_0_29_0_M
V/A: The Seven Seals of Suburban City
Upbeat and seemingly Detroit- and Berlin-influenced at times, while
wholly
ominous and haunting at others...
http://www.modsquare.com/modsquare_more.php?id=232_0_29_0_M
Proem: Songs 4 The City Bus
Pure (post)IDM, continuing in the best new and modern production of this
music.
http://www.modsquare.com/modsquare_more.php?id=231_0_29_0_M
String Theory: Radiovalerian
String Theory put the essence in subtle funk and the grit in glitch as
they
deliver an album of ingenuity and gleam.

V/A: Sonig Irregular Vol. 1
This compilation of 12" releases from 2004 is really, really hot.
http://www.modsquare.com/modsquare_more.php?id=229_0_29_0_M
Retina.it: s/t
Retina.it carves sound like ice in this top notch release. If sound
could
glisten, this is what glistening would sound like.

Venetian Snares: Infolepsy
Aaron Funk delivers a full on assault of epic proportions in his newest
Venetian Snares E.P., Infolepsy.
http://www.modsquare.com/modsquare_more.php?id=227_0_29_0_M
Hidden Variable: Kults Ov Personaliti
Most of the tracks have straight-ahead, four-to-the-floor kick/snare
combos,
eschewing the usual heavy-handed use of open hi-hats or the tribal
patterns
that often characterize some of the harder stuff out there.
http://www.modsquare.com/modsquare_more.php?id=225_0_29_0_M
A-ux: Duotone
Submerged in a myriad of influences from mainstream electronic pioneers
such
as Tangerine Dream, A-ux brings delayed arpeggios, thick basses and
dub-dance beats to the fore.
http://www.modsquare.com/modsquare_more.php?id=224_0_29_0_M
Doofgoblin: Know The Situation
A challenging album with haemorrhaging digital sounds and chaotic
structures, harsh beats, white noise and undulating high frequencies.
http://www.modsquare.com/modsquare_more.php?id=223_0_29_10_M
Oh, and the much-lauded Ctrl-Space free MP3 compilation is online now
(apologies to those who tried to grab it and were greeted by a broken
website. everything is functional now). It features tracks from:
Justin McGrath
DoF
Max Spransy
Proswell
Set In Sand
Wisp
DC J
Yard
Love's Not Dead
The Deep Element
Phylum Sinter
