"It's an impeccably produced work, with nary a cliche or weak track, which is rarer than an album that hasn't been downloaded before its release date." -Dave Segal, The Seattle Stranger "Dubbed out blasts of errant machinery and cooling beds of synth bits combine to form a cohesive and brilliant fusion." -XLR8R "If, like me, one of your favourite records is Aphex Twin's 'Xtal', then you're going to need to buy this album...none [of Lusine's works] have been as fully realized or as undeniably funky as this." -FACT (UK) Listen: http://www.ghostly.com/audio/clips/Lusine-TheStop.mp3 BROKER/DEALER: Opening Night 12" (SPC-26) OUT NOW The Spectral debut of San Francisco's Ryan and Ryan; a lush homage to 80s dance floor sheen.

Listen: http://www.ghostly.com/audio/clips/KMC-CrashV8-12mix.mp3 MOBIUS BAND: City vs. Country CD (GI-41) OUT FROM 22 MARCH Pop-sensible vocals, expansive guitars and unexpected textures define Mobius Band's international debut, following 3 stunning self-released EPs. "Mobius Band has a penchant for sonic squiggles and krautrock beats, but it's clear that gigging with the likes of Broadcast and Broken Social Scene has polished its gift for crafting gentle electropop songs." -Time Out New York Listen: http://www.ghostly.com/audio/clips/MobiusBand-CityVsCountry.mp3 ... *GHOSTLY LIVE* February 2005 FINLANDIA VODKA GERMAN TOUR Featuring MATTHEW DEAR, JAMES T.
