Massive Attack – Paradise Circus
[Audio clip: view full post to listen]
Tomorrow marks the official release date (U.S. and Canada) for Heligoland, the 5th proper studio album by Massive Attack.
Whereas the 2003 release 100th Window glistened with mechanical accuracy and disciplined minimal techno, Heligoland finds the Bristol duo returning to the dirtier, dubbed out sound of [...]
Review: Corinne Bailey Rae – The Sea
It seemed like only yesterday that we saw fresh faced Leeds singer Corinne Bailey Rae burst onto the scene. Her self-titled debut album, laced with pop hits “Like A Star,” and the empowering “Put Your Records On,” made her a critical and commercial darling.
After experiencing the death of her husband, it seemed like Corrinne would [...]

Mixtape Review: SMKA – The 808 Experiment Vol 2
The SMKA compilation might lack the star power of Big Boi’s Purple Ribbon All-Stars compilation from a few years ago, but it is a solid piece of work, and should do good things for all who were involved.

[...] TheCouchSessions.com just released a free mixtape Tribute to Yukimi Nagano of Little Dragon. It’s no secret that I’m a huge Little Dragon fan so I’m lovin’ this concept. They’ve put together a retrospective of sorts including some of her work with Koop, guest spots with Ge-ology, classic Little Dragon tracks and more. If you are new to Little Dragon, this mixtape will school you on Yukimi’s pedigree, and for those already in the know, this serves as a great compilation, saving you the trouble of doing all the hunting and gathering

Still not able to download. Every time I try and open the file or save it to my hard drive it doesn’t work, just opens a new Explorer window, no mention as to whether there’s a problem. Is this something to do with the link not yet being fixed after exceeding the download limit?
Shalom x

After The Rain « Req Effect
[...] This Floating Points remix of the Little Dragon track After The Rain came out some months ago now but there’s interest around the London producer at the moment, particularly in light of his remix of Sebastien Tellier’s latest single. This is less house orientated than his present output but it’s a perfect compliment to Yukimi Nagano’s voice and if you’re a fan there’s a retrospective Tribute To Yukimi Nagano mixtape at The Couch Sessions.
