Sonar 2010

Happenstance Radio will be following Roxy Music, Fuck Buttons and the Chemical Brothers. 

The Chemical Brothers - Further (2010)

Chemical Brothers best album for over 10 years. Ed and Tom have moved with the times and come out with vibes-oriented electronic music aka Four Tet (without the over-cleverness) and the mood rock of Ariel Pink. But the beats are also there so we never forget who we are listening to. Three tracks I like:

Dissolve


Another World


Horsepower


Buy from Amazon

Klaus Schulze - Mindphaser (1976)

From Klaus Schulze - Moondawn (1976). Just under 30 minutes of mindblowing psychedelic electronica. Makes you feel like a god just listening to it - imagine what it would have been to make this.

William Onyeabor - Atomic Bomb (1978)

This legendary Afro funk album was way ahead of its time and still sounds fresh and raw. Nowadays William Onyeabor resides in Enugu, Nigeria, where he has been crowned High Chief. He now runs his own flour mill as well as working on government contracts. This album is worthy of a king - and extremely rare. Here is the track that everybody talks about - Better Change Your Mind, from his debut album - Atomic Bomb.

Mental Overdrive - Diskodans (2004)

From Mental Overdrive - 083 (2004). A fantastic record from the early days of the Norwegian Smalltown Supersound imprint. Clearly influenced by 80s Mantronix electro but with a Kraftwerk sense of humour.

Madvillain - Great Day (Four Tet Remix)

In 2005, Kieran Hebden (aka Four Tet) was in love with what still might be the greatest hip hop album of all time - the collaboration between Madlib and MF Doom that was Madvillain. Stones Throw commissioned Hebden to remix Madvillainy (2005) and it turned out a work of even greater genius. The stand out track is this harp-drenched remix of Great Day.
