Groove Armada - Black Light
By Bleekster 20th Jan, 2010
'Black Light' is an indication that Groove Armada are still 110% capable of producing music that has universal appeal and sophistication, but also a confident show of direction from the group as to where they want to end up in the next few years.

Various Artists - Serpentine Illusions, compiled by Rubal AKA Soundkraft
By Rocca 23rd Oct, 2009
A good psytrance compilation if you like the darker side, but the highlight for me is Protoculture's melodic uplifting belter.
The Typhoons - Pleasure is a Freedom-Song
By SparklingSam 22nd Sep, 2009
Their debut album successfully captures the band’s energy while demonstrating the formidable individual talents of all the band members. It's your chance to get acquainted with what I think will be the next big act to come out of WA.
Bent - Best of Bent
By louiseconville 24th Aug, 2009
The sounds of Bent to me will always be reminiscent of the halcyon days. Their soft, slow electronica formed the daytime soundtrack that balanced out the wilder nights of European adventures in balmy, unknown cities. Loves lost, forever friends made.
Various Artists - Moments vol. 2 mixed by Anthony Pappa
By Elliot G 19th Aug, 2009
The Pappasaurus has given us a release that hits the mark on so many levels; a combination of techno, minimal, progressive, that is rich in goodness in oh so many ways. 'Moments vol. 2' is without doubt one of the classiest compilations of 2009.

Kanye, Common and John Legend guest on an album that's a dud no matter what time of day.
Various Artists - The Lab 01, mixed by Loco Dice
By Henry Johnstone 29th Apr, 2009
When the time comes for the chitter chatter of favourite mix compilations of ’09, it will be surprising if Loco Dice's new release 'The Lab 01' isn’t mentioned. Based purely on the quality of disc one, it damn well should be.
Lady Sovereign - Jigsaw
By Danikan 24th Apr, 2009
After two years of waiting, many a fan of Lady Sovereign's ladette style and catchy tunes would have high hopes for her second release entitled 'Jigsaw', including me.
Various Artists - Womadelaide: Sounds of the Planet 2009
By Flipsidedown 2nd Apr, 2009
I can only speculate about the warm feelings attendees at this year’s Womadelaide event in March floated home on, but if this selection of tunes is any indication of the quality of the performance, they were one lucky crowd.
N.A.S.A - Spirit of Apollo
By grattan 18th Feb, 2009
With everyone from hip hop legends to indie rockers dropping past the studio to aid with N.A.S.A's widely talked about 'Spirit of Apollo' album, it’s hard to imagine many music fans who wouldn’t at least be curious to spin this record.
Outrun - FutureNature
By El Toro 10th Feb, 2009
Part 70s Krautrock, part 80s B-grade, part 90s video games - Outrun's debut 'Future Nature' is both a decade and genre spanning album that's sure to set your rocks off, old-school style.
Various Artists - SHE Summer Essentials
By Tommy Cola 17th Dec, 2008
'SHE Summer Essentials' is bound to have hands up high and eyes closed and smiling. It’s the sound of summer and is a timeless addition to any collection.
