Heaps of new stuff this week! Starting with a classic ambient electronica 12" from 1992 re-released just last week… Epic 45 bring us their very ambient Drakelow EP, Isan cover Erik Satie in their usual style, various artists cover Radiohead on Rapster Records, Faux Pas gives us his second EP (or is this a mini-album?) Entropy Begins At Home, while meanwhile local Sydney artist Jordy Lane mixes indie-pop, field recordings and electronica in a singular fashion. We've got new (and newish) breakcore on Death$ucker Records, excellent mainstream jungle producer Breakage choppin it up on Planet µ, and Sam Arnold (of defunct Cardiff postrock band Mountain Men Anonymous) records a mix of everything from acoustic guitar folk to orchestral drill'n'bass as John Barnes on a new 3" CD.
Melodium has a new album of his usual excellent French folktronica, and the Black Ox Orkestar have a second album of morose klezmer-inspired music on Constellation.
