“Fuck dance”? Only in the carnal sense, perhaps. Better to do as this compilation has, and combine dance with art and a whole bunch of other good stuff (atmosphere, joy, mystery, electronics). This new American Underground is an interesting place to visit according to Jude Clarke.

The Very Best of David Holmes – The Dogs Are Parading
This rather premature Very Best Of is a compelling and cinematic assemblage of the Northern Irish producer’s work to date, says James Dalrymple.
Various Artists – Follow The Outline
A great representation of a young label that can only go on to greater things. Sam Shepherd reviews.
Kitsune Maison Volume 8
Kitsune is a French music and fashion label so synonymous with quality and so permanently chic that it stands inevitably to reason that Kitsune Maison 8, their latest compilation of achingly on trend bands, is top bloody notch.
Various Artists – Common People ‘Britpop: The Story’
Three discs, 54 tracks and yet nothing by Oasis or Blur. Simon Tyers attempts to fathom what sort of compilation puts Earl Brutus next to the Stereophonics.
Six Organs of Admittance – RTZ
‘RTZ’ squeezes together several lesser-known pieces from Six Organs early years into a colossal arc of drone influenced folk that might test the patience of even the most hardened fan. Maybe best avoided by newcomers and embraced by completists only.
