On April 24th, the Montreal-based electronic musician CFCF will release his new mini-LP Exercises through Paper Bag Records. Built around subdued piano and synth based pieces, the album pulls from influences like Philip Glass, Ryuichi Sakamoto, and David Borden. CFCF has released the first single from the new album -- "Exercise #3 (Building)" -- that starts off sounding strangely similar to the X Files theme. Download the first single "Exercise #3 (Building)" below. Read more...Read Full Story

If you're a fan of shitty movies, then you know that Chrome Canyon's video for "Computers of Love" borrows footage from one of the worst of all time -- The Lawnmower Man . Originally labeled Stephen King's The Lawnmower Man , loosely based on a Stephen King short story, the movie was so awful and so far removed from the King story that he demanded his name be removed from it.

Those who keep an eye on the IDM scene should be no stranger to Wisp. Signed in 2008 to Richard D. James’ Rephlex label, he’s been responsible for a slew of excellent records, including his Rephlex debut The Shimmering Hour . One word repeatedly comes to mind when I listen to this album: ‘beauty’. Each track has been lovingly crafted, with sweeping acid melodies layered over an intricate pattern of breakbeats. The effect is uplifting yet understated, a sort of quiet euphoria, and despite...Read Full Story
