Gil Scott-Heron
I’m New Here
His first release in 13 years.
Gil Scott-Heron came to prominence in the late 60s and early 70s and is cited as a supreme influence on countless Hip Hop vocalists and producers. Despite an incredible and influential body of work, he has not released an album since the ‘90s.
Produced by XL label owner Richard Russell, I’m New Here sees Gil reflecting on his life with his trademark vocal power and insight, sharing his visions among Russell’s flickering, electronic soundscapes; which at various times conjure up thoughts of Burial and The XX, as well as a host of Hip Hop influenced sounds. The album is brave, contemporary and quintessentially Gil Scott-Heron.

Fear Factory
Mechanize
2010 album from the Alternative Metal veterans.
Mechanize is a full-fisted blast of passion and innovation that sounds like the missing link betweens 1995’s groundbreaking Demanufacture and 1998’s more texturally nuanced Obsolete.
Songs like ‘Industrial Discipline’ and ‘Powershifter’ are crushing and colossal, melding fast and precise rhythms with vocals that pinwheel from raw and scathing to hauntingly melodic while ‘Fear Campaign’, which features harrowing spoken word passages, quickly segues into a showcase of punishing beats, rapid-fire riffs and ghostly keyboards.

Psychedelic Salvage Company Volumes 1 & 2
Fringe psychedelia from the deepest darkest caverns—a 2CD set of salvaged strangeness and trippy sounds from the Psychedelic Salvage Company!
This is some of weirder sounds in the psyche spectrum, with an underlying groove that keeps it all better described as psychedelic than experimentalist—but a wild mix of feedbacky waves of guitar, vocals that range from folkish to flat out gonzo, and songs that roll from acid rock to tripped out jazz rock and beyond.
Compiled from rare acetates, private pressings, and other hard-to-find sources. Volume 1 includes “Elastic Landlady” by Toby Jug, “Genesis” by Roland Kovac Set, “Closing In On Me” by Out Of Darkness, “Tomorrow” by Team Dokus, “No One To Blame” by Ptolomy Psycon and more. Volume 2 includes “Guru” by Roland Kovac Set, “Agage” by Narnia, “60 Million Megaton Sunset” by Team Dokus, “Azreal” by Ptolomy Psycon and more.
