Amazing electronic music from Japanese living in London, UK, Anchorsong.

This transcendental sound comes from the 2016 album, Ceremonial.

Tomasz Ochman from Poland, aka LoopMaffia, and funky beats built upon Czesław Niemen’s Pod papugami. This is a perfect example of how loops and reworks can be very creative too!

So many covers of the song I go to sleep by Ray Davies and still the original is simply the best.

Ah, what a voice of Canadian singer Charlotte Day Wilson (aka CDW)!

Highly addictive song from French duo Agar Agar.

Last week I saw a movie Lion. I’ve seen better films with similar themes, but I’m grateful it reminded me this amazing tune of Hercules and Love Affair, i.e. Andy Butler and unmistakable Antony Hegarty.

How could I possibly hear about it only now? Music by Tarwater, “lyrics” by Walt Whitman and the voice of Iggy Pop on one album (Morr Music, 2016).

As always, I am very cautious of remixes, reworks, covers and anything that duplicates, reconstructs or retells. How to tell if something is still creative or it is just a derivative?

Project re:works (Decca, 2016) is a compilation of classical music in a electronic makeover and it is worth noticing if only for a few good remixes like Starkey reprise of Erik Satie (above) or Ulrich Schnauss’ Bach. On the other hand, Martin Buttrich and Fort Romeau remixes sound to me like some brutal techno music and make this album impossible to listen as a whole.

<<...from the album "Farewell, Starlite!">>

You mean the... album??? That would be the most longest awaited one.

Great news.

So good! Mark Pritchard with Thom Yorke, Beautiful People.

Video is made by Polish film director Michał Marczak in the mountains called Gory Izerskie. For Polish speakers - here’s interview with Marczak about this project.
