By Trevor Meyer Wirral's finest, The Coral put a lovely spin on a Byrds classic. Somewhere in the Irish Sea, with his sail cascading in the wind, ship captain, seafarer, and musical savant, David Crosby is channeling the voice of James Skelly and drawing inspiration for his next nomadic tale (well, maybe not). The Coral are always at their best, and their rendition of "I'll Feel A Whole Lot Better" is right on cue. The Coral - I'll Feel A Whole [...]
![[Review/Listen] – Korallreven – "An Album By Korallreven"](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3893494_lg.jpg)
Tweet I, for one, am loving the Scandinavian synthesizer renaissance that's been delivering all kinds of flavors and textures of progressive, expansive electronic music lately. From Múm to Tough Alliance and even Detektivbyrån, it's evident that software and synth-pads are becoming as integral as strings and skins. Korallreven , I'm glad to say, isn't rocking the boat. The Swedish duo has just released their new album, "An Album By Korallreven" . What they've done is mix many of the structural elements of [...]

Bill Ryder-Jones - If... By Melanie McGovern If... is a new take on the soundtrack; composed as a response to Italo Calvino's novel If On A Winter's Night A Traveller ; a modernist literary piece focusing on the art of writing and its responding act of reading. And so, admiring the likes of Morricone and Jonny Greenwood's scores for film, and as a jumping off point from Abel Korzeniowski's musical accompaniments for A Single Man and Michael Galasso's compositions for Seraphine , ex-Coral's member [...]
"Knife" is a little preview from Alexa Wilding's upcoming album Coral Dust . We fell in love with Alexa Wilding a while back with "Diamond Day," but this is just not our cup of tea. Filed under: Beats , Clip Tagged: alexa , coral , day , diamond , download , dust , knife , new , wilding

Here's all kinds of good music, you could potentially get 2 albums, assuming you don't already have Monster Rally's Coral LP . Monster Rally released it at the start of 2011, printed on seafoam green vinyl , released by Gold Robot . It's been a while since that release, but definitely grab it if you haven't already. This remix album is close to a week old, but I just couldn't hold back on it. Lately, I've been looking for electronic music like it's my job. It doesn't get much better than this. I can't speak highly enough of [...]

Monster Rally sent over word on the release of Coral II: The Remixes , which features a diverse array of reworkings of his debut LP from artists such as Teeel , Teen Daze , and Yalls , among others. Gold Robot has also pressed 250 clear vinyl copies of Crystal Ball for those interested. You can preview the remixes here for free or name your price over at his bandcamp , and check out [...]
![[mpFree] Monster Rally’s Coral II Remixes](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3812460_lg.jpg)
Monster Rally have produced some of my favorite releases this year (for a few reasons, not the least of which is the beautiful vinyl from Gold Robot ). They've always been pretty generous with their music in quantity, quality and price, so it comes to no surprise that the newly released Coral II remix album would include sixteen tracks and be completely free . And unlike a lot of remix albums (even the pricey ones), these aren't just throwaway tracks. Peep this one from the increasingly hard-to-ignore Superhumanoids: [...]

My favorite, Monster Rally release, Coral , has a pt. 2 and its filled with remixes. I bought the original on 12" and it sounds ever so brilliant. This installment of instrumentals has revisions from some of my favorites; Rimar , Teeel, Teen Daze, and Brothertiger. Very neat stuff, get it for a 'NAME YOUR PRICE' deal over at his bandcamp ...

Monster Rally 's Coral II is " hold onto your hats " good. A couple months ago Teddy Feighan released an album that sounded like Madlib meets The Beach Boys . This remix album is all the excitement and auditory annihilation of a monster track rally minus the annoying, "SUNDAY, SUNDAY, SUNDAY!" hype. With remixes from Teen Daze to Rimar it's a fitting hip-hop meets chill beats rework of his Coral LP that dropped in January. I think these remixes are so fucking on point. Don't miss out on these fantastic tracks, give [...]

Sunday brings a third day of quality music over to Bingley, a place where most artists will admit they've never heard of, and only a few have ever played. Bingley Music Live has really brought big name acts out here and made a name for itself over the last few years and as the third day begins, you get a sense that it's now an established festival that supports both local and up-and-coming acts as well as the all important ticket selling, fan pleasing headliners. Having not learnt my lesson from yesterday, [...]

Nuestro escogido de este mes es Mowat, productor y músico chileno radicado en Alemania pronto a lanzar su debut Anglia . CHILE : Super 45 Mowat - [...]
Bill Ryder-Jones , formerly of The Coral, has announced the release of his debut album If... on November 15th and, in anticipation, you can listen to Give Me A Name below. Hopefully, the song is indicative of what is to be expected from the album as it really is quite a sublime piece of songwriting. With its delicate piano, dramatic strings and meditative vocals it certainly makes for an affecting, melancholic piece of music. It is, quite frankly, a beautiful and haunting song, the tone of which I sincerely hope is carried over into his first [...]

This is the first time I've ever picked an act to represent Scotland in the Music Alliance Pact who have yet to play their first gig, but there's no doubting the quality of impassioned indie-rockers Arches . The band (which features former members of Young States, Jocasta Sleeps and Yashin) have spent much of the year squirrelled away recording a bundle of great tracks, the pick of the bunch being Like Fireworks - a Music Alliance Pact exclusive free download.
