Review: Kreggo's Art-Aud label is a reliably unpredictable bastion of post-modern rave madness which takes a sideways glance at all the genre fluctuations and places fun front and centre alongside experimentation. As a result, this latest instalment of their Secret Rave series comes as a welcome treat - a madcap rip through tempos and styles with upfront energy as a constant. From Slacker's moody, finely tuned breakbeat excursion to J-Zbel's low down, nasty drum funk on to Treega's on-point rave stabs, it's a wild ride, make no mistake. If you take your neo-rave gear seriously, you won't want to sleep on this deadly compilation.

Review: Originally released in the mid 80's on UK cassette label Bite Back!, this nearly lost gem finds new life 30 years later on Cocktail D'Amore Music. Steve has cobbled together a superbly melancholic electronic concept album. Wistful melodies often evoke sentiments of a lost childhood and hazy English mornings. Each song within remains untitled allowing full perceptive freedom as to what they all communicate, a language for the feelings that have no name. Untitled A1 - A6 leads one along intimate soundscapes of pattering drums and tinkering piano, a sense of closeness and trust develops with the introduction of each new idea much like the beginning of a bed time story. Untitled B1 - B3 then begin to breathe more openly awash in angelic colours before abruptly turning downward on B4, a wall of booming drums and atmospheres from the furthest reaches of the galaxy before the last trio of songs settles gently back on Earth.
