Knocking the aeroplanes down with sounds
architecture in helsinki - do the whirlwind (mp3)
just a quick one from me after my last two essays (and the kettle’s just boiled in time for my frasier brew). think esg done by polyphonic spree but in a good way and you’ll be somewhere close to how ace this is from australians architecture in helsinki.

From another motherland (part 1)…
the earlies - i must have been blind (mp3)
the boats - sarah alice (mp3)
sifting through the beef blog archives i noticed scholes’ two home town sounds posts and i thought i’d chip in (i know, not like me to share an opinion). i was all ready to pick some slightly more pastoral gems from my […]
Come rain song down on me
led zepplin - the rain song (mp3)

We know how to show it
the dynamics - night fever (mp3)
having firmly established their reggae cover skills (after comfortably taking on the white stripes, curtis mayfield and madonna), the dynamics now turn their hand to the that staple of the disco canon, night fever. you could could well be forgiven for thinking this was recorded in a sticky icky studio […]

This time (never again)
dj shadow - this time (i’m gonna dub it my way) (mp3)
after an easter weekend spent punishing my kidneys via copious amounts of the white stuff, i’m currently laying a little low. couple this with mark’s recent house move (resulting in his current lack of web access), and our other new contributors being up to […]

The sa-ra desert
sa-ra creative partners - rosebud (mp3)
after sitting behind the scenes twiddling knobs for the likes of erykah badu, dr dre, and jurassic 5 (amongst many others) sa-ra creative partners decided that 2004 was the year to come out from behind the curtain, unleashing a pair of artist releases on ubiquity and abb soul.
