The Greenhornes - "****"

This first batch of all new material from The Greenhornes since 2005's East Grand Blues EP finds the band adopting, for the most part, a sound akin to late 1960's acts such as The Attack or more modern purveyors of a mod sound like The Embrooks. A bit of a departure then from the rawer garage and soul inflected sound of their earlier years but none the worse for that.

Brian Eno - Small Craft On A Milk Sea

In most fields of endeavour pioneers, at some point or other, stop pioneering – they either redirect their energies to pastures new or settle down to churn out pale relations of their earlier work illumined by the occasional flash of past glories. Brian Eno falls somewhere in between these extremes. Having dabbled in both a number of musical areas and those of other arts throughout his career, this pioneer of Ambient is now signed to Warp, itself a pioneer in terms of labels, in what is probably seen as quite a coup by some. It certainly has a fair amount of synchronicity about it.
