I've been looking at warp mart, trying to figure out which of the recent releases I need to pick up, and wondering what the following releases are like. Phoenecia - Randa Roomet Broadcast - Work and Not Work If anyone has the time to provide a quick review, i'd really appreciate it. -hjw

Phoenecia are new to me, although they've apparently been around under numerous guises for ages. Just taking 'Randa Roomet' on its own, it sounds very similar to Autechre's 'Incunabula'. Beats made out of noises, LFO'd analogue sounds whipped up into loops, etc. If you like Autechre, you'll like this. Broadcast are an entirely different kettle of fish and, like Red Snapper, aren't your typical Warp group (female-fronted five-piece). If you want comparisons, then imagine a hybrid of Stereolab, St. Etienne, Salad and Komeda. 'Work and Non Work' is a collection of three EPs ('Accidentals', 'Living Room' and 'The Book Lovers') that Broadcast previously released on Duophonic (Stereolab's home turf). Definitely not IDM -- more a kind of dubbed-up psychedelic kitsch -- but I like this sort of music anyway, so I had no problems adding it to my collection of Warp goodies. Nice dense, textured production though. /\/)ark
