| Telafonica - The Man With The Golden Sickle b/w Side One - 442-net7-06dec - Telafonica
Two downbeat tracks from Telafonica. The Man With The Golden Sickle lays a bed of acoustic guitar and bass for the beats to crack over, before clarinet improvisations have a chance to massage the ears. Side One is another moody beast created around samples of raw pasta being dropped.

Pascow deliver two tracks of downbeat guitar moods which fit into the length of the 7" format, but cover much more depth than that might normally allow.

| The Quest For Love Aboard The Belafonte - Telafonica
'The Quest For Love Aboard The Belafonte' is lead single from the album 'Love On The Second Stair'. It features the original version and three remixes. Actual Russian Brides push the track through abstract 8-bits and bouncing sub-bass. Karoshi redresses the song in his own lush chord arrangements and down-tempo groove. Telafonica recast their own track as a dark triptych with vocal cutups, abrasive grooves and bit-crushed melancholy...

| Jordy Lane - The Neighbours b/w Line Up The Happiness - 442-net7-06oct - Jordy Lane
The kind of thing we absolutely love at 4-4-2 - pop melodies that infiltrate your head and stay there for days. Jordy's take on it is the top notch electronically processed production which lifts this above the everyday. Post-modern musings on suburbia, sex and satisfaction. Sublime pop music.

No More Yesterdays likes to play with audio. From abstract noise to electronic folk, nothing is sacred.

| Tim Koch - Can You Offer? b/w Lonely In Shark Cage - 442-net7-07feb - Tim Koch
Prolific and eclectic are two words often thrown at Tim Koch and his music, and this release will do nothing to stop that. A side Can You Offer throws sid-chip sounds into a mix of more complex digital timbres, rhythms abruptly shift and an overall mood of joy prevails. This is backed by Lonely In Shark Cage, and the ambiguous mood that title suggests is matched fully by the music - a rhythm that never quite lets you in, yet forces you to try - melodies that catch your attention then disappear -...

Two beautiful pieces from the incredibly prolific Mystified. Each is based on single basic sound which is stretched out over 4 or 5 minutes of wondrous drone.

| Alan Morse Davies - Amusement Park Phases - 442-net-004 - Alan Morse Davies
Inspired by Steve Reich's late 60's tape works, "Come Out", and "It's Gonna' Rain", I wondered what Reich might have done if he had access to modern technology at the time. I had also been thinking about constructing something abstract from the sounds of old fairground organs, whirrs, clicks and occasionally strange tuning included. So, I digitised a bunch of recordings of fairground organs and other musical automata, then set about arranging each recording in layers up to 10,000 deep, coming up...

| Fishbones And Wishbones - Pelican Daughters
Pelican Daughters - Fishbones And Wishbones Between 1986 and 1988, using Portastudio technology, the Pelican Daughters were birthed with a collection of atmospheric and moody tracks at odds with the popular culture around them, but definitely pointing to the future. Some of those tracks were released on cassette in 1988 on the Cosmic Conspiracy Productions label and was then picked up by Kim Cascone's Silent Records for release on CD in 1991 with added tracks - the format found here...

| Problem Solvent - dmyra
How does one artist manage to do alt. country and instrumental hiphop on one release and not sound schitzophrenic? dmyra pulls it off with aplomb, laying a sparse acoustic groove under a lowdown drawl before turning about face and pushing laptop buttons while out recording the sounds of his world.

| Symfonicka Onanie - Marek Gabriel Hruska
Following an EP of cover versions released a few months ago, Marek Gabriel Hruska returns with a couple of remixes of tracks from his forthcoming .:%?! EP. With his regular blend of folk and electronica (but sounding nothing like 'folktronic'), massed harmonies and acoustic instruments sit underneath distorted beats and insistent pulses.

| Laughing At Trees / Tokyo Disco Bell (Luminarsi Version) - Telafonica
Telafonica ups the tempo and heads for the indie dancefloor with two tracks of boom blip blip. With screeching synths, pounding kicks and lo-fi edges, there's still a place for melodic catches and attention grabbing production. A little help from Luminarsi in the remixing department also goes a long way in bringing out the best in an old Telafonica track as well.

With traces of glitchy electronics underpinning melody and drawling guitar and voice inflections, Soul Eyed Sister takes its place as a legitimate A-side. Yes My Dear dives into synthetics with droning distortions over micro-melodies and stuttering drum machines.

Four brief interludes (so brief we can get all four tracks into the space of the regular two) from the mysterious Paradigm Of The Ages. Blips dance around each other in reckless abandon, almost dissolving into anarchy, but always kept from falling apart completely. Micro melodies appear and vanish at will.

Self-loathing never sounded so beautiful. Danny The Donkey wanders around the corners of his life and is not quite sure he likes what he sees.

| 4-4-2 Music e-Single of the Month Club - March 2008 - I Got The Beecroft Blues - Kate Carr
The suburbs of Sydney are no place for the feint-hearted, if Kate Carr's version of them is anything to go by. There is menace creeping below the lethargy, a disjointed existence punctuated by random bursts of slow electricity. The mind of a composer is slowly sublimated to their environment. Carr's usual blend of field recordings is here spliced with more 'musical' interludes to foreboding effect...

| Rearview Mirror - Craven Canary
Craven Canary normally floats around cyberspace finding music she likes, then records herself singing duets with what she downloads. This time, she decided to reverse the process - and so placed a recording of her lone voice singing a simple melody for others to download and make up the accompaniment. These are two of the results. The first is a glitched up scramble of the accapella, where Lessons In Time used only the sounds from Craven Canary's recording, then chopped and processed them into a...
