    Greetings,

    I'm sitting here listening to Duplex, the third
    album from German producer Apparat (translation =
    device) and a little blown away. Maybe this is
    crazy talk, but it's one of the best electronic
    albums I've heard this year. There is a lot of
    creative programming going on, with layer upon
    layer of various textures cajoling and caressing
    each other. There are also proper songs - no
    lyrics mind you, but a lot more than just rhythm
    and sound (no disrespect to the label).
    Comparisions might be made to Plaid, Squarepusher
    (the early days) and Mum, but in the end, Duplex
    winds up a very original and tasty recent
    release. You'll find it on the Shitkatapult label
    [http://www.shitkatapult.com/v3/ ]. Big up to
    Steph at Triage who tipped me to this one.

    Other stuff I like: Gerardo Frisina's Hi-Note
    (Schema) is an outstanding album of dance-floor
    jazz a la Nicola Conte and other members of the
    Schema roster. The disc kicks from beginning to
    end and so does the band, who play with great vim
    and vigor.....Another full band project that you
    must check out is Beatclub 21's album Maximum
    Wellness (Infracom). This nine-piece ensemble
    uses complex rhythm patterns as the centerpiece
    of their music that roars and soars with the help
    of vocalists Fola Dada and Nathalie Schäfer. This
    is jazz of a different flavor - kind of like
    crossing Micatone with Omni Trio. Also highly
    recommended....Jamiroquai's contribution to the
    LateNightTales (successor to the
    AnotherLateNight) series is full of rare and
    delicious, funky gems, the majority of which were
    recorded in the mid-to-late '70s. Deep tracks
    from Johnny Hammond, Skyy, Ashford & Simpson,
    Kleer and others abound and are well-sequenced
    for maximum soul power.

    Compilation wise, there are two from L.A.'s
    Sound In Color: Block Radius and the newest
    release, Mu.sic - each of which collects prime
    examples of the label's diverse roster. Lots of
    lazy hip-hop, downtempo, jazz and Latin flavas
    make for some very pleasant discoveries. Best
    Seven Selections features singles and previously
    unreleased material from friends and colleagues
    performing inna dub and reggae stylee for this
    German label.

    As always, there are plenty more musical
    surprises, so I hope you'll tune in live, or via
    the archives listed below.

    Until next time - ciao for now,
    David
