Atjazz: Click here to view full size image of this sleeve

CD / AtJazz / LabFunk / Mantis Recordings

The sound is in league with The Bobby Hughes Experience, Kid Loco, or bands on the Compost, Pork, Grand Central, or Yellow labels.

The Bees: Click here to view full size image of this sleeve

7" / The Bees / "No Trophy" b-w "No Trophy (version)" / We Love You

The A-side is a pop vocal reggae cut, the B-side is an excellent dub version which I like very much.

CD / Julie Driscoll and the Brian Auger Trinity / If Your Memory Serves You Well - The Giorgio Golmelsky Sessions / Dressed To Kill

When Steampacket folded in '66 Brian Auger formed a new version of The Brian Auger Trinity; Sometimes Driscoll sang, sometimes Auger. This CD compiles tracks from these collaborations but also some that pre-date that period by a year or so.

Bebel Gilberto: Click here to view full size image of this sleeve

12" / Bebel Gilberto / Eyes / Tempo (remixes) / Ziriguiboom

Much less mainstream than most of the stuff on her full length. My favorite of the mixes is the vocal mix by Chari Chari.

Pop-Off Tuesday: Click here to view full size image of this sleeve

7" / Pop-Off Tuesday / "Unworldly" b-w "The Sea and Poison" & "Toilettes Imagination" / Pickled Egg

Pop-Off Tuesday especially fit in this weeks gullbuy in light of Ming and Mum, whose sounds seem to bear distant relation to the three tracks found here.

12" / Louie Austen / "Amore (I Love You)" b-w "Grab My Shaft (feat. Peaches)" / Cheap

There are 2 new songs on this, both living up to and exceeding what you might have hoped for after listening to his 'Consequences' CD on Cheap.

LP / Hecate / The Magick of Female Ejaculation / Zhark

Put the repetitive, didactic Alec Empire & Digital Hardcore out of your field of hearing and listen to music that really burns.

7" / KnifeHandChop / "Dance Mix 2000" b-w "Don't Say a Word" / Irritant

"Dance Mix 2000" is a collage of Destiny's Child, Eminem, Pink, and The Vengaboys put back together into a cleverly flowing cut.

Ocean Club: Click here to view full size image of this sleeve

CD / various / [komfort.labor] presents Ocean Club / WMF

17 songs which sit together quite well without sharing a common sound. A few of the songs are available of other CDs you can easily find, though they meld into the track listing with new life.

Lawrence: Click here to view full size image of this sleeve

12" / Lawrence / Teaser / Kompakt

A steady beat, a rollicking looped sound like Kevin Shield's finest hour, a slight female vocal with an intriguing accent, and a dreamy feel you could close your eyes to.

Ming: Click here to view full size image of this sleeve

CD5 / Ming / Interior Escalator / Doxa Records

Ming sound similar to the Berlin band Quarks. Both have female vocals and 'pop' structured electronic sounds. Both have an instrumental or two mixed in the bunch.

12" / Múm / Remixed / TMT Entertainment

I can't wait to see where Múm take us. All I know is that I'm going with them...
