The changing of seasons is the perfect backdrop for Apparat's newest introspective and beautifully constructed LP The Devil's Walk. Apparat's figurehead Sascha Ring has moved from the rather clunky electronics of his antecedent release The Wall and become rather warmly pastoral on this latest LP. Comparatively, The Devil's Walk is like The Antlers and Radiohead's Thom Yorke in a backdrop of The Cinematic Orchestra, which may have guided Apparat's taste coming out of his DJ Kicks mix from 2010. A quietly exciting listen.

AM & Shawn Lee - Celestial Electric
The hugely prolific producer/multi-instrumentalist Shawn Lee continues his collaborative endeavours on his latest project with equally fruitful film and television songwriter AM on their LP Celestial Electric. Shawn has released several compelling instrumental works with his Ping Pong Orchestra LPs, worked with a wide variety of funk vocalists on Sing a Song and Soul in the Hole, and cover album Hits the Hits, to name but a few of his copious directions. Seeming to be a tribute to 1970s pop, the album succeeds with many of its tracks such as Dark Into Light, Somebody Like You, Lonely Life and even covering Jackie Blue by Ozark Mountain Daredevils. Another good project to file under Shawn Lee's long list of accomplishments.

Star Slinger - Bedroom Joints
Star Slinger - Rogue Cho Pa
Star Slinger has produced two more future-funk masterpieces for 2011 with his EPs Bedroom Joints and Rogue Cho Pa. What was supposed to be simply a beat-sampling, Star Slinger's previous Volume I from 2010 (only $5 from his website) became voluminously overwhelming with clever electronics and chopping with a nouveau trip-hop dance-floor maestro. Star Slinger's newest EPs draw comparisons to a finely blended Dabrye with Cash Candy and the non-prolific sample-mad The Avalanches, and then developed into something entirely fresh. Star Slinger is currently touring this fall at a variety of locations across the globe with Mux Mool, Shigeto and/or Shlohmo. Like it sweet.
Gig Review of Star Slinger and Shigeto at Fortune Sound Club in Vancouver: Sept 29,2011
Fortune Sound Club in Vancouver had their amps set to abusive last night and I feel grief for those not equipped with some sort of ear protection. Mux Mool didn't make it out (he owes me), Shigeto tried hard though played much too long, and Star Slinger had trouble keeping approximately 80 folks entertained with some great material for a very short duration. As Mux Mool was not able to make to Vancouver, Shigeto tried his best to DJ for a while, then he moved into his own work, which was beset by traveling back and forth to his drum kit, reminding me of Trans Am blending of electronics and edgy rock band of 20 years ago. When Star Slinger finally came out, he seemed as though he only wanted to play a few tracks, even though he has amassed a vast collection of dance floor and head-bobbing subculture hits in a very short period of time. I'll still enjoy their recorded works in my living places.

The Echocentrics - Sunshadows
The Echocentrics eclecticism is plainly evident on their 2011 release Sunshadows as two-time Grammy winning producer Adrian Quesada from Austin, Texas continues his collaborative style. Sounding like a blend of Quantic Soul Orchestra, Troubleman, Thievery Corporation, then taking some tangential spaghetti western and R&B instrumental breathers a la Shawn Lee along its journey, the divergence elevates The Echocentrics album to a wide variety of tastes. Add this one to the Best of 2011 list. Available on the Ubiquity Records website.

Ladytron - Gravity the Seducer
Ladytron celebrate a decade of recorded material with their newly released album Gravity the Seducer. On this LP, their first proper full-length since 2008's comparatively aggressive Velocifero, the quartet calmly present this sexy ode to what keeps humanity firmly affixed to the Earth and sea. The dark synths of Gary Numan and Human League's positive spirit are plainly evident, though Ladytron move away from their more anxious tendencies they deployed on Velocifero and Witching Hour and embrace the patient simplicity of 604. Three instrumental tracks, Ritual, Moon Palace, Aces High, break the album into a quasi-theatrical piece that makes the LP feel more assured of longevity for the ladies and gentlemen of Ladytron. A welcome renewal.

The Field - Looping State of Mind
Added to my list of favourite electronic albums this year is The Field's Looping State of Mind, which joins Mux Mool's Drum EP 2 and Eddie C's Parts Unknown. The producer behind The Field is Stockholm's Axel Willner and he has created something that follows the blanketing loops of Orbital, the wondrous drone of Bowery Electric, the deliberate modern beats of Childproof Man, and the occasional quietude of Jon Kennedy. Even with two of his seven songs exceeding ten minutes in length, you won't want to miss a single deliberate loop in The Field's expansive tracks. Local DJs take note.

Album Review:
Beirut - The Rip Tide
As Beirut's previous albums, March of the Zapotec, Gulag Orkestar, The Flying Club Cup, have spoken to their stature as a modern band using historic orchestrations, Zach Condon's Beirut gets comfortable and confident in its bohemian abstractions on their latest LP The Rip Tide. With a wide assortment of acoustic instruments and band members, the new LP is bursting with new ideas through familiar territories. The only minor concern is that Santa Fe would have been better placed at the 10th track to close The Rip Tide, as it tends to overshadow the production of the remainder of the album. A band needs a good track 2, 4, and 7, but it shouldn't come as an expense to your enjoyment of an album. A classic keeper to place alongside Beirut's previous work.

Album Review
Red Hot Chili Peppers - I'm With You
On Red Hot Chili Peppers newest album for 2011, I'm With You, we find Anthony Kiedis and his very talented band punching the clock for another album of quasi-funk rock. Perhaps as an early adopter of the band, I've found their creative trajectory a little tiresome since Blood Sugar Sex Magic. With such experienced band members presumably wanting to preserve the band's freshness, you might be hoping for a brilliantly tight 10 track album with a couple of unusual instrumental tracks or creative tangents, but this was not the decision that was made. What you'll find is a shirtless Kiedis, Flea and company moaning and posturing for nearly one hour over a bloated 14 track album in another tiresome chapter of RHCP.

Album Review: Marsmobil - Black Album
On Marsmobil's newest LP Black Album, mastermind producer Roberto Di Gioia brings his love for The Beatles' more psychedelic experimentations to fruition. Marsmobil's previous releases have seen some of the best minds in electronic soundscapes converge with Roberto, such as Peter Kruder and Christian Prommer, helping create some novel and eclectic electronic fusions. With Black Album, Roberto ditches his recurring femme fatale vocalists and nearly takes everything on himself, building something akin to one of Tool's side members trip-pop project Lusk, or Lilys' and Caribou's own hallucinogenic masterpieces. A tight little album with some refreshing and historic musical dabbling.

Album Review: Stereo MCs - Emperor's Nightingale
On a first listen of Stereo MCs' newest LP Emperors Nightingale, you might be prone to the belief that the band's better days were behind it like Duran Duran or Nikki Sixx. However, after spending some time with the album, these tracks are far from "ze cakkah" and more the cat's preferred sleepwear. Stereo MCs have got a recipe of Goldfrapp, The Glimmers, Apples in Stereo, but it's also a mixture of the best moves of electronic music wizard Parov Stelar, while balancing these manoeuvres with nods to spacey late 70s Steve Miller and 80s pop from both Prince and Eddy Grant. A welcome return for Stereo MCs and the trilogy of videos Boy, Tales, and Far Out Feeling are snapshots of the importance of spending more time understanding your children and courageously facing your own crossroads.
