Only just managed to get a copy of this on CD – a great mix of analogue and 8-Bit wonders from Andy’s seemingly endless collection. Excellent artwork to go with it too, a nice story behind it and sound clips are here. Unfortunately it’s out of stock at FK but a couple of places have it if you look around the web.

Fascinating, beautiful, a simple idea well done, wish I’d thought of this, file up there with ‘The Clock’. I’d recommend watching it full screen.
Variant artwork for Japan, the booklet will have different versions of material too
This one had me reaching straight for the credit card – for the next week, all online orders of the Stepkids‘ debut LP come with a postcard 45 of an exclusive single. Get in quick, the album is amazing, possibly my favourite so far this year.
Christ this is good, Mary, mother of Joseph, this is shit hot, God I love a mix with a theme and they don’t get much better than this. DJ Format and Mr Thing – I’m not going to bother with any potted biogs, if you don’t know them, go and find out what you’ve been missing all these years.
Anyway, they put this together as a limited edition CD in 2009. Packed full of religious records of every persuasion and slant, it’s been uploaded to Soundcloud for your delectation. All kneel and praise the masters.

Remember the iconic artwork for the first Death Set record back in 2009? One of my favourite covers of the year and their new releases are high on the list for 2011 as well. Another blend of B&W collage with yellow and red, this time coming on like Richard Hamilton meeting Eduardo Paolozzi. Below are the album and singles, front and back, plus a tour poster I found featuring additional artwork. Buy ’em all here.
Well, that’s the Xmas present sorted
The prints of ‘The Life Cycle of a Machine’ arrived this morning, and are now all signed and ready to be posted out by Scraffer.com. Thanks to all who bought them so far, there are still some left if you missed it first time round and we will be announcing the second print soon. For more details see here, all prints are high quality giclee and come signed by myself and Henry Flint.
After posting this the other month I was contacted and sent this lovely item by Mat Ducasse himself from Skylab. It’s an excellent mix of French pop, psych rock, electronics and soundtracks, packaged beautifully with inserts and a unique CD sleeve. No idea if you can buy it anywhere but there’s a Disqo Conqrette page with a free mix here (different to this CD) and a sparse Facebook page here
Sent by my good friend David Vallade. 
Not for general sale but I bet there will be a few out there as journalists hear it, go ‘WTF?’ and sell them to their local record store. The 12″ should be at the label later this week, full photos when I get it. This is the final of 3 EPs and is released on 12″ and download on Nov 7th. ‘The Search Engine’ album will be out Jan 16th, 2012 and features versions of 12 tracks taken from the EPs, plus some exclusive bits.
