((((( NEW ARRIVALS: CD ))))) Chromeo, Tomahawk, Prefuse side projects, Mouse on Mars + Mark E. Smith

CHROMEO Fancyfootwork CD
*** "The sex, the beats, the dream, the suits, the gloves, the laughs, the tears, the past and the future."

THE POLYPHONIC SPREE The Fragile Army CD
***"Probably the Poly's best and deepest album yet!" - David Bowie.

SAVATH & SAVALAS Golden Pollen CD
*** The latest strange samba album from PREFUSE and co. Featuring Jose Gonzalez. Produced by Guillermo Scott Herren (PREFUSE 73) & TORTOISE's John McEntire.

TOMAHAWK Anonymous CD
*** MIKE PATTON and a slew of other jerks are back with an album of...original arrangments inspired by Native American material from the late 19th century! Interesting!

VON SUDENFED Tromatic Reflexxions CD
*** RECOMMENDED. "This is the debut by a trio formed by Mark E. Smith of The Fall along with Andi Toma and Jan St. Werner of Mouse On Mars. It combines the genre-smashing attack of early millennia club music with Smith's free-associating visionary wordplay. The riffs and rhythms come together from many different places, with synths, samplers, and sequencers all firing off. It's not a band, it's a free-flowing collectivist dance generator - a futurist sound system."
