Rather, he plumbs the emotional depths of traditional folk songs like "The Drowned Lovers" and "Courting is a Pleasure" for all they're worth.

Out of the darkness, the brightest stars shine; out of the fire, the purest gold. Lydia Cole spent the last 18 months in hibernation, where she turned to her allies -- music, art and time -- for healing. The outcome is a powerfully intimate collection of songs about love, loss and hope -- Lydia's debut full-length record, 'Me & Moon'. Lydia partnered once again with trusted producer Nic Manders in the creative sanctuary of Roundhead Studios. It was in the quiet here that the songs found their voice, with help from instrumentalists Jono Wilson (Seth Haapu, Geneva) and Jol Mulholland (Mulholland, The Mots). 'Me & Moon' is both personally and musically a huge leap ahead of Lydia's 2009 EP "Love Will Find A Way". A beautiful offering, the album includes artwork and songs from Lydia's own... Less

Digitally remastered two CD release containing a pair of long out of print releases from the Ambient Dub masterminds led by two members of Napalm Death (Mick Harris and Nic Bullen). This double disc set features two complete albums: the band's 1994 breakthrough effort Evanescence coupled with the 1995 remix marathon Ellipsis. Mixing a love of Downtempo, Industrial and Ambient music, the duo released a series of progressively more refined albums, of which Evanescence has been considered the best and most successful. The long deleted Ellipsis remix album reconstructed material from Evanescence via a host of guest collaborators including Autechre, Bill Laswell, Meat Beat Manifesto and Coil. Earache. 2009.

While the Bravery is solidly in the mold of mid-2000s groups worshipping at the altar of the 1980s, they manage a canny syncretism on their self-titled debut album. While the Rapture, Out Hud,...

2009 Australian release. It's hard to believe that it's taken Kram this long to put out a record under his own name. He's long had a restless creative energy that's seen him take part in numerous side-projects, including the Rock 'N' Roll supergroup The Wrights and Hot Rollers, as well as helping propel Spiderbait to a prominent place in the Australian rock canon. The album was cut in short sessions held every few months over a two year period at Melbourne studio, Sing Sing South. Aside from the odd guest, such as Jet's Nic Cester and Tumbleweed's Richie Lewis , Kram played all the instruments and produced the album with engineer Andy Baldwin. The result, according to Kram, is the soundtrack for a road trip, with each tune moving you down the road and across the musical spectrum. The... Less

Audio Remasterer: Nick Nicely.Liner Note Author: David Wells .Recording information: 1979; 1980; 1981; 1982; 1983; 1985; 1986; 1998; 2003; 2004. Photographer: Tina Carr.You might have thought it would take some doing to conjure a full-length Nick Nicely compilation, given that he put out just two singles. This 18-track, 66-minute release, however, manages to put one together without seeming like it's stretching things, including all four songs from those two singles; two tracks, "6 B. Obergine" and "On the Coast," that almost appeared on singles; and a dozen previously unreleased recordings from 1978 all the way up to 2004. It's a mighty quirky listen, more consistent than one would guess, but occupying an out-of-time notch in its combination of 1967- to 1968-sounding British psychedelic... Less
