Nery – 33

Soulful, hiphop tempo, some bass, some singing. Sounds like hailing from those best days when glitchy hiphop and dubstep started rediscovering its triphop roots. I really like this record, have been listening to it for some time now.

Kuedo – Slow Knife

Say this first: worst album cover of the year. Now, as for the music it is definitely different from the first album but still something great. It may not even be possible to see this as a follow-up to the first Kuedo record, but rather a piece in the larger context of the life of Jamie Teasdale. Many flavors mixed in but this is misterious in many ways. Electronic, synths, and probably the most beautiful tracks are the ones resembling Vangelis in the era of the Blade Runner soundtrack. And then there are those few tracks which are the most shit-your-pants soundtracks of a horror movie and you may not want to listen to those at home alone.
