在上週就悄悄到貨的男女雙人electro/synthpop組
Katsen首張專輯
It Hertz!,對於
TheeSPC廠牌來說仍舊是一張不同流俗的獨立音樂唱片,電子節奏俏皮豐富的他們不單比從前的baxendale多了前衛音樂,或是懷舊復古的思考運用,同時也能呼應順承70末80初shelffileds電子先鋒的傳統,以下除了轉貼大好評外,TheeSPC廠牌也提供了輯內兩首mp3下載,另外也一倂連結歌曲
Let's Build a City video的網址.

Let's Build a CityCactus大好評中:
"Alternative Album of the Week"
Steve Lamacq, BBC Radio 1"Song Of The Week: Katsen 'Florian' "
Electronically Yours"Dizzily effervescent and as catchy as swine flu"
Losing today"They are a duo who take the best of the darker side of 80’s electronica, deconstruct it and produce perfect futuristic D.I.Y, pop noir."
Vip Pip Musical Express"At its heart this is pop music and their effects are used to amplify rather than swamp the tunes, sometimes to heartburstingly lovely effect."
Sounds XP"It’s full of variation, from the frenetic kraut-inspired opener, Let’s build a City, to the incrediby beautiful hypnotic end track Florian."
Eardrums Music"Incredibly, with such an ambitious list of ingredients the final result is a sumptuous feast of electronic pudding."
The Music Fix"Stuffed with both fun & reflective moods & whilst possessing a very high benchmark of quality!"
Norman Records"A tasty slice of Casio driven electronic pop mixed with more than a healthy dollop of Krautrock."
Indie-MP3"Conclusive proof that years spent battering away with the sound-chips on a ZX Spectrum can finally yield sparkling results."
Culture Deluxe此張cd專輯在美國則由Shelflife Records發行,小店為英國先行版熱賣!
來自義大利二人組Tempelhof於英國獨立廠牌Distraction所發表的首張專輯We Were Not There For The Beginning, We Won't Be There For The End,一開首長達10分鐘久的ten years after即有後搖滾攝人張力與絕美逼人的電子節奏,在氣氛鋪陳上也相當有電影配樂的情境敘描感覺,或許樂隊名取自機場名稱也是想表達一種空盪冰冷的氣味,但那不似真實樂器的風琴和鈴鼓聲聲層疊卻又是如此溫暖,像這般矛盾錯置來營顯另一番和諧美感的手法,早從m83諸等作品裡就已出現,不過像輯內由lily may譜詞的歌曲song for lily, Tempelhof骨子裡的浪漫情懷即在一音一符,一擊一擺間沉溺隱沒.小店限量首賣,廠牌網頁有全張試聽.
