- Isolée: Resort Island pitchfork.com
Shorn of its title and visuals, Resort Island could potentially be about any kind of impermanence or decline. But this speaks mainly to the limitations of instrumental electronic music, and Resort Island should be applauded for engaging with an emotion as fundamentally elusive as ambivalence.

Tucked away near Angel.
More disturbingly, [Jonathan Safran Foer] only considers a world where people are in a position to make choices about what they eat. Eating Animals is written by a well-educated, well-fed person for well-educated, well-fed readers. Nor does he contextualise his argument. It never ranges beyond the confines of America. He doesn't seriously examine why people might want to, or have to eat meat, or what meat means to individuals or societies. He proposes no solutions other than mass conversion to vegetarianism, although it doesn't seem to occur to him that the damage done by factory farming doesn't begin and end with animals but embraces all foods.
- Steven Poole: Thesaurosis stevenpoole.net
What differentiates this thesaurus from any other is that it is, as the title announces, historical: combining the data of the Oxford English Dictionary and the Thesaurus of Old English, it presents meanings in chronological order, noting when terms first appeared, often when they disappeared, or whether they were one-shots, lovely doomed coinages such as “moonling”.
- BENGE: Twenty Systems (Expanding Records) | themilkfactory themilkfactory.co.uk
With Twenty Systems, Edwards creates twenty tracks, one for each of the years between 1968 and 1987, and each built using just one synthesizer. The list of makes, Moog, ARP, Roland, Serge, Korg, Yamaha, Oberheim, and models used is likely to send shivers down the spines of many aficionados, and the accompanying liner notes provide much needed information on each machine.
Reviewing is the new advertising.

- Tejada's latest a techno essential - Leisure - Burton Mail burtonmail.co.uk
Review of John Tejada's Fabric 44 from the, er, Burton Mail. Cool! "Seamlessly mixed and constantly building, Tejada has turned in a stunningly good set combining his own innovative productions with tracks from the likes of Orbital, Spooky and LJ Kruzer."
- ireallylovemusic › fabric 44 - john tejada ireallylovemusic.co.uk
Quite simply, john tejada has crafted an absolute stormer 75 minute mix of straight up techno that ebbs and flows perfectly. Ranging from detroit styled house, through to harder edged acid via some serene ambience, the mix is an excellent way to catch up when you don’t have the insider knowledge, nor budget to keep up with the more interesting, and dare i say it, somewhat exclusive, corners of the techno world.
