SQUAREPUSHER Shobaleader One: d’Demonstrator 2xLP / CD
*** "This is by far the most accessible record Squarepusher (aka Tom Jenkinson) has ever made. Vocals? R&B rhythms? Heavy synths? This could even be described as 'baby makin' music'."

CORIN TUCKER 1,000 Years CD
*** "The hard edges of SLEATER-KINNEY's music come nestled in lush weaves of acoustic guitars, keyboards,interlocking percussion, even cellos and violins, which places 1,000 Years deep into Tucker's creative headwaters."
