Symmetry+18k Affair+MJ Coles+Polica

Symmetry just put out a 35+ track album that will completely fulfill your post Drive(the Ryan Gosling movie) music needs, I grabbed Over The Edge because it had that confident bad guy feel, that walking tempo that will catch up to you no matter how fast you run, I love the stripped down break in the center too.
18 Carat Affair makes my brain and ears sigh, this interlude takes me back, I can’t believe the world will never graced with this kind of music for the public again, makes me dislike the worlds aesthetics right now soo much.
My friend Miguel turned me onto Maya Jane Coles, I guess I missed the boat, this dub is amazing, reminds me of what I thought Border Community might have matured into.
Poliça bothers me a bit, you named yourself the Polish word for The Police and you took the dub route like The Police… *sigh* sooooo whats going on creatively here? this project needs some formal tweaks because the music is soo promising and doesn’t need gimmicks.

January 6, 2012 at 4:13 pmThe autotuned voice by Polica bothers me a bit. Otherwise I like it.

You should DL and at best buy these two albums if you’re also into that VHS/analogical fanatism like I am.
Cheers

January 7, 2012 at 12:06 pmThe “Focus Now” EP from Maya Jane Coles is definitely worth grabbing too. Not a bad song on it. Btw Daytona Speed should have been the theme song to the Bob Newhart show.

January 7, 2012 at 4:08 pmWow, Jakub, what a nice post.
And, my God, that Polica is bloody fantastic. I went to Youtube and listened to their other tracks, like Wandering Star. What a find.
As always, thank you so much for the music.

January 8, 2012 at 3:17 pmfeel ya on the bit about 18K and aesthetics, don`t really care for popular style for the most part these days. just seems kinda uninspired and pointless.

January 9, 2012 at 11:50 amThat print is amazing! I too just got turned onto maya jane coles and find her to be amazingly talented. Diligent yet relaxed, her BBC Radio1 Essential mix is incredibly technical yet sounds so effortless.
