Kid Koala - Some of My Best Friends are DJs

Kid Koala - Some of My Best Friends are DJs
(LP/CD + Comic) Ninja Tune ZEN82/ZENCD82 2003-10-06

Info :
Afin d'ouvrir à une plus grande audience son art unique de turntablister (traduction simultanée: gusse qui joue avec des platines) fou et génial, Kid Koala s'est appliqué pour ce deuxième album à faire des morceaux plus cohérents pris seuls, tout en conservant globalement cette continuité conceptuelle de dessin animé qu'il à maîtrise à la perfection. Mieux, il a réalisé ici le premier album de turntabluesm! (prononcer "teurntablouzeumme!") Un véritable chef d'oeuvre de plus à mettre à son palmarès, et cette fois les singles pleuvent, en plus: de "Basin Street Blues", marche funéraire lancinante, à "Stompin' At The Savoy", breakbeat dans ta face et boogie à l'harmonica, en passant par "Skanky Panky", ska pour danse d'éléphants du Livre de la Jungle, un "Annie's Parlor" lounge-electro (et non pas electro-lounge) ou un "More Dance Music" jazz dance n' scratches... Kid Koala devient accessible pour tous sur la longueur d'un album et se pose là en tant que candidat au disque de l'année. Tout cela sans parler du mini-comicbook de 52 page livré avec le disque ou de jeu d'échecs à découper filé avec le CD.

Speech Debelle Freedom Of Speech
Speech Debelle - Freedom Of Speech
(CD/LP/Digital) Big Dada Recordings BD193, 2012-02-06

Two years since winning the 2009 Mercury Music Prize for her debut album, Speech Therapy, and having ridden a rollercoaster through life since then, Speech Debelle is ready to drop her second collection of music. Entitled Freedom of Speech, the album sees Speech turning from introspection to stand up, face and engage with the world around her, spitting confident themes of revolution and love. A first taste of the album came in the aftermath of this summer's riots, when Speech reacted immediately, leaking the track Blaze Up A Fire, (also featuring Roots ManuvaRealism), a track about political revolution written months before. Now the build-up begins to the release of Freedom of Speech in early February 2012 with the free download of the track Studio Backpack Rap. From political to musical revolution, Speech describes the track as being "all about virtual instrumentation and an ode to KwesSpeech Therapy, while showcasing just one aspect of her remarkable new album.
