karohemdHot Chip - The Warning
Fun, rather minimal and obscure electronica with some cool funky/groovy elements. They were on Later... a couple of weeks ago and I was impressed so I picked up the album. Odd statement considering it's a mainly electronic act but they sounded better and well, livier live, it's missing the real groove.
Still a 4/5 on the Ozzometer
Rocco DeLuca & The Burden - I Trust You to Kill Me
He was on Friday Night with Jonathan Ross a while ago when Kiefer Sutherland was on (whose label the CD was released on and who took him on tour across Europe - there was also a rather cool documentary on SkyOne about it).
If I needed to find a label for the music style, I would probably use something like "Modern Americana Rock" as he plays what is essentially roots music (he plays a National guitar) with various modern and individual elements.
5/5 on the Ozzometer
Nitzer Ebb - Body of Work
A 2CD set compiling the essential tracks by this classic Industrial band. The first CD has remastered original tracks, the second remixes and alternative versions.
There have been many (recent) imitators but none of them can quite reach the impact of these classic tracks
This is an essential piece for every industrial music collection, even if you've got the originals.
