Musique Pour La Danse Holland Vinyl & CDs

Review: Surely there is no one alive who isn't familiar with the oversized, over-energized beats that is Donkey Kong. One of the most enduring characters of the Nintendo world, he remains as popular with kids now as he did back in the 90s and so this first-ever physical release of the Donkey Kong Country Soundtrack is special indeed.

Review: Back in 2007, three years before he passed away, Throbbing Gristle co-founder and long-serving Coil member Peter 'Sleazy' Christopherson recorded a sole album as The Threshhold HouseBoys Choir. It initially came out on a CD (with accompanying DVD of typically trippy imagery), making this reissue the first time it has appeared on wax. The album's five lengthy tracks draw on Thai musical culture -Christopherson was based in Thailand at the time -with computer manipulated indigenous vocals weaving in and out of gorgeously sunny, bubbly and intoxicating electronic soundscapes. Such sonic positivity guarantees entertainment and every listen, with the set arguably being one of Christopherson's most accessible and colourful albums.
