We've seen an unprecedented year of new music in 2009. There's been enough diversity to satisfy practically anyone's music tastes. We definitely had a surge in surfer sound revivals, dreamy bedroom pop, lo-fi garage rock, and psychedelic electronica, but we also heard just about everything in between. It'll be interesting to see what trends emerge next year. Before we leave 2009 for good, we wanted to recap of our top rated album releases [...]
How will you look back on 2009? Norman "Fatboy Sim" Cook: 2009 was my year of getting sober and rediscovering a new world of DJing and the release of the Brighton Port Authority album (at last!). Highlights? A fantastic summer of festivals, the highlights being Trash City at Glastonbury, Marley Park, Dublin, V festivals, and the legendary Yokohama beach party in Tokyo. Great new music from Armand van Helden, Herve, Fake Blood, and the brilliant new Crookers album. Lowlights? [...]

Uute bändide puudust maailmas parajasti just ei ole. Aga kui igast päevast mitmeid tunde uue muusika otsimisele ja värskete tegijatega tutvumisele pühendada, tekib mingi üldisem ülevaade ja avanev pilt on kokkuvõttes üsna ühtmoodi hall ja igav ja väheste tippudega. Õpikujärgiindie. Haigutamaajav. Aga siis läheb üks hetk jälle hästi ja halluse varjust hüppab välja midagi nii pöörast nagu heeliumihäälne Connan Mockasin , kes laulab näiteks oma kassist. Connan Mockasin - Egon Hosford ( youtube ) [...]

The Tapes Have Been Found! Throughout the 1970's, as Britain succumbed to the likes of The Wurzels and The Brotherhood of Man, somewhere in Brighton a loose collective known as The BPA was hosting 48 hour warehouse parties and producing a series of tracks with passing musicians that became a part of musical legend. Within the seafront HQ of The Brighton Port Authority , (originally styled the Brighton Phonographic Authority) chairman Norman Cook , later to find international fame under a variety of guises (incl Fatboy Slim), and cohort Simon Thornton [...]
The BPA is the new project by Fatboy Slim. Slowly we have been hearing tracks from the album be released and now we finally have the full length record. Sadly, I think that the record sufferes the same ill-fate of most of Fatboy's recent material. Yes, there is a lot of positives here but there only manages to be a few diamonds in the grass. This album features a huge list of collaborations with Simon Thornton, Tom Gandey (AKA Cagedbaby), Justin Robertson, Ashley Beedle, Lateef, Martha Wainwright, Jamie T, David Byrne & Dizzee Rascal, Iggy Pop, Olly Hite, Connan Mockasin, [...]
