James Blackshaw

All Is Falling

All Is Falling was the first of James Blackshaw’s albums on which he played electric 12-string guitar.

But while earlier efforts of his drew comparisons to vintage folk guitarists, this is far from folk-rock, and indeed so far from folk or rock that it might not be appropriate to even categorize it as popular music. Blackshaw also plays piano, glockenspiel, and percussion on the record, though when he does use 12-string electric guitar, it’s not heavily amplified.

The eight largely instrumental pieces (voices are heard counting at one point) on the 45-minute CD—divided into tracks plainly titled “Part 1,” “Part 2,” and so on up to “Part 8”—are much more like a classical work than a folk one, performed with considerable assistance from other musicians on violin, cello, flute, alto saxophone, and glockenspiel.

Morcheeba

Blood Like Lemonade

Blood Like Lemonade is a cornerstone for the band and marks the return of essential member Skye Edwards on vocals since their debut release in 2003.

Morcheeba’s multi-instrumentalist, Paul Godfrey, says: ‘This is the record we should have made after “Big Calm” but we had to travel treacherous terrains to get back to our natural habitat.’

Skye adds: ‘Friends have been asking, “What does the new Morcheeba record sound like?” My answer? “It sounds like Morcheeba” Of course!’

Nurse With Wound

Second Pirate Session

Second Pirate Session is a collection of outtakes from Rock ‘n Roll Station, which was originally planned as a
double album, but for some reason it never happened.

These tracks were never fully completed and in hindsight benefit from their stripped down atmosphere.

Second Pirate Session contains some of my favorite NWW songs.

M.I.A.

Maya

The album’s tracks centre on the theme of information politics and are intended to evoke what M.I.A. called a “digital ruckus”.

Elements of industrial music were incorporated into M.I.A.‘s sound for the first time.
