Dan Curtin "Distort.Archive.Desire" (downlow) I haven't bought a Dan Curtin record since his album on Sublime and this is a real return to form. That frenetic, but funky as you like drum programming, weird jazzy melodies, gorgeous warm basslines. It's just ace, ace, ace.
KIM "Flores Monstrosi" (Tigersushi) There's a handy Psychic TV track on the flip but it's the KIM track for me. I'm guessing it's a Krautrock thing - I recognise the Ghormengast studio, maybe Conny Plank's? - but it wouldn't be out of place on old Plastikman b-side, stripped down to just a beat, a bassline and eerie reverb. Krikor "Pas De Norm" (Karat) Like Akufen but less frantic, and more of a natural groove to me. Anthony Shakir's been playing it a lot and it was a highlight for me when I heard him. Static-ey hi hats, stolen strings and a vocoded voice saying "bass". What more do you want? Plus I scored copies of Ultradyne's "E-Coli" and "...Is Evil" releases. Wicked.
