My new obsession. A band that brings together hard rock, trip hop, jazz, dance and soul to name just a few. This week's recommendation is the lead single, released last November.

Ariel opens with sampled gypsy guitars and heavy beats, morphs into hip-hop trip-hop decorated with glitchy squelches and squeaks from sampled synths and electronica, then moves on to a sparse piano and echoes before returning to the main, thuddingly heavy beat.

The vocals are soulful and downbeat, allowing the glitchy samples to flash and sparkle. The treatment is complex; even after repeat plays, there's still new detail to notice.

Ariel is the goddess of healing and the song is about her conflict with the devil, the battle between good and evil.

My Meltdown

Jun 18 2007, 21h29 por Grindrod

Okay, so keystothecity and I were chatting at work today about the Southbank Meltdown festival, and who we would invite to perform if it was up to us. I'm assuming it goes on for 2 weeks, so that's 14 acts. Here's my dream line-up.

Julee Cruise and Angelo Badalamenti performing those two amazing albums they produced, turning the Southbank into Twin Peaks for the night.

Altered Images, I'd definitely get them to reform to perform some of my all time favourite pop songs.

I'd love to get the Pet Shop Boys and The Magnetic Fieldsto perform an evening of Stephen Sondheim songs with an army of guest vocalists and west end Wendys.

It's be super to get Kraftwerk to perform, but if they couldn't make it, maybe the Balanescu Quartet could perform their rather brilliant string quartet versions of those electro classics.

I'd love to see The Art of Noise perform Close to the Edit live. And imagine seeing Malcom McClaren with them, performing Madame Butterfly and Double Dutch. Amazing!

Random music memory: Balanescu Quartet in Kassel, Germany

Mai 30 2007, 22h38 por mrkvm

So, I was just walking across the street to get myself a cup of coffee, and the iPod shuffled up Still With Me from the Balanescu Quartet. Something about the slightly gloomy overcast weather combined with the music suddenly took me back to the summer of 1996 when I got to see the Balanescu Quartet play in a small tent next to the river in Kassel, Germany. IIRC, it was part of an arts festival going on that summer in Kassel. Anyway, it was a wonderful show, one of my highlights from my time in Germany.

I love when music does that little time machine thing to my brain.
