CD / Encre/
Encre / Clapping Music
Encre (French for 'Ink') is French artist Yann Tambour. He sounds like
Katerine if Phillipe Katerine idolized Matmos and Mum instead of Serge
Gainsbourg. Arab Strap and My Bloody Valentine fans will also find plenty
to grasp onto in Encre's sound.

Chicharrons / Papas Got A Brand New Pigbag (Fifi Meets the

Got A Brand New Pigbag" make this 3 track 12" pretty darn fine.

CD / Donna
Regina / Northern Classic / Karaoke Kalk
I could play 'Northern Classic' over and over without feeling anything
but joy. There are no 'skip' songs, and the sound is both chilly cold
and lazy warm.

CD / Malaria! /
Compiled 1981 - 1984 / Moabit Music
As this new-wave revival seduces another generation to its robotic dancefloor
repetitions and shadowy sexuality, Malaria! should be an immediate reference
point. More than any of the bands of their ilk, Malaria! shows that dance
music, and pop music for that matter, before being sexy, need to be dangerous.
