All the stuff i mentioned is coming out on thrill jockey, at least in the US (actually, the MoM single may be europe only release). I think the Oval is coming out in January, but I could easily be wrong. On a few listens, the "Twift" MoM signle sounds really excellent—4 tracks, each around 4 minutes long. The original mix of twift is great, sounds something like bentley rhythm Ace if BRA were really able to pull off the effect they're shooting for—i.e. goofy, lotsa different sounds, some squelchy things that almost sound like horns, a squarepusheresque fungle breakdown midway through, and lots of ideas per square inch. Review forthcoming... And the Oval is really quiet, ambientish on first listen, but not bad. Sam
