This popped up on Soundcloud a while back and as we love all things Stuart Price, Zoot Woman and Paper Faces related, it’s too good to pass. Grab it!

Jacques Lu Cont – Reload
Saw mention of this while I was at work and almost had to take a half day off, so I could hear it. Pete Tong got the exclusive of it at the weekend and it’s great to hear Stuart ‘JLC’ Price back doing his own thing, away from producing Madonna, The Killers and making Keane sound half interesting.

C’mon
“Scottish bastards glued my hands together, hasn’t he?”
When I was a kid you used to get vinyl albums consisting entirely of sound effects. Most of them were BBC produced, full of squeaking doors, wind through trees and a sudden blood curdling shrieks. There were also compilations of birdsong, so you could sit in your front room and imagine you were in a forest, surrounded by woodpeckers. It’s suprisingly relaxing and of course you avoid actually being outdoors, bitten by bugs, mud all up your back.
I only mention this as Jarvis Cocker has gone and produced an album for the National Trust that, when I listened to it earlier, brought back all those memorys. It’s an album of sound effects, recorded in and around National Trust properties, like Belton House and Quarry Bank Mill. It’s really good, even though I was expecting…I don’t really know what I was expecting. With Jarvis you never know what you’re going to get I suppose and this really is just an album of sounds. It’s well worth a listen, not all at once; that would be a bit mental, but as a tool to unwind. You can download the whole thing for free here
Tiesto and Diplo – strange one this. Each does his own thing very well and I would never have put them together in a million years. Listening to it you imagine that Tiesto baggsied the top and Diplo took the bottom. It’s a great collaboration really, with some trancey rises before (and I’m guessing) Diplo handles the drop.
Diplo & Tiesto – Come On
My taste for bangers reinvigorated I found this Sick Boy remix of Motor’s ‘Kick It’ on RCDRD LBL. I love Motor, constantly killing it and far too underrated.
Scissor Sisters are back and though I have to admit I wasn’t a huge fan of their first albums, their new stuff sounds great. Produced by Stuart Price the album, ‘Night Work’ is out in June. There are some great remixes of ‘Invisible Light’ about (the Stuart Price one especially), but this one by Siriusmo is my fave at the moment.

I was going to do a Reset! post, but I haven’t got the time or inclination at the mo. I’ll come back to them later, but for now their remix of Cassius’s 99 is funky as fuck
In The Way Of Control
There appears to have been an election. No one appears to have won. We’re all going to die…
Some music to keep you amused until we become consumed with massive Greek style debt, suffocate under a cloud of Icelandic ash, find ourselves being led by Tories. Whatever happens first really.
Good luck…

Driving Me Mad
I drove home from Manchester the other weekend, after about three hours sleep (a prelude to which was getting locked in a porch). A journey that should have taken a little under two hours took close to three and half and at some point I got lost in the no mans land that is the Cheshire/Shropshire border. There’s one place where you pass in to Shropshire, from Cheshire, and then five minutes later, and for no reason that makes sense, you’re welcomed back into Cheshire. Now in my fragile state this totally fucked with my mind, to such an extent that I had to stop the car and smoke a shaky ciggy, while I tried to figure out what had just happened. Had I turned round without realising? Was I driving back the way I’d just come? I could hardly stand, as lack of sleep and an ominous hangover kicked my head about. Finally I got back in the car, fumbled in my plastic supply bag and pulled out the first CD that came to hand. I’ll call that CD Salvation (though it wasn’t, it was the Chems ‘Exit Planet Dust) and this track Saving Grace (it isn’t, it’s ‘In Dust We Trust‘). About an hour later I arrived home, tried to eat something, then fell asleep. Happy Days Indeed.
