Gore Martin: Third chimpanzee EP (Blue) [Vinyl 12"]

Memento Mori is Depeche Mode's 15th studio album and the first in the lineup of Dave Gahan and Martin Gore, following the tragic death of co-founder Andrew "Fletch" Fletcher in 2022. Memento Mori was produced by James Ford, with additional production by Marta Salogni . The album was created during the early stages of the Covid pandemic, resulting in themes directly inspired by that period. The album's 12 tracks chart a wide variety of moods and textures from the ominous opening to the closing denouement, running the gamut from paranoia and obsession to catharsis and joy, and countless points in between.

Noisy, chaotic, and defiantly experimental, Swell Maps may not have found commercial success in their time, but their impact on music is undeniable. An inspiration to bands such as R.E.M., Sonic Youth, Dinosaur Jr., Pavement and Nirvana, with Kurt Cobain famously being a fan and often seen sporting a Swell Maps T-Shirt. A democracy within the confines of punk’s anything is possible, members Biggles Books, Jowe Head and brothers Nikki Sudden and Epic Soundtracks—helped shape the landscape of post-punk and DIY music. Now, for the first time in over 40 years, The John Peel Sessions brings together all three of their recordings for John Peel, a figure instrumental in championing their sound.

Erasure är tillbaka med sitt sextonde studioalbum 'The Violet Flame' som är uppföljaren till 2013 års julalbum 'Snow Globe'. Inspelat i London och New York och producerat av Richard X är det tiospåriga albumet ett nytt kapitel i den redan succéfyllda karrären som Erasure har haft. Efter 30 år av låtskrivande, 25 miljoner sålda album och med mer än 40 hitsinglar blir 'The Violen Flame' ett känsloladdat syntfyllt electro-pop album som släpper lös alla de euphoriska melodierna som Erasure är kända för.

Detta var deras sista platta - 1996 - och då visste de inte om att de skulle återferenas 14 år senare. CDversion är i ett lyxigt digipack med en extraCD som innehåller Die Tur Ist Zu-musiken!

This album is a dynamic document of late-period CAN. Recorded in March 1977, the core line up of Irmin Schmidt, Jaki Liebezeit, Michael Karoli and Holger Czukay is augmented by the addition of Rosko Gee (Traffic) on bass. Gee’s recent addition to the line-up meant that Holger Czukay was freed up from bass duties to perform ‘waveform radio and spec. sounds’, manifesting here as otherworldly sounds, samples and what one reviewer of a later show described as “moontalk to a white continental telephone.”
