Tiding us over until the upcoming ULTRAVENUS EP,
Sunlight On Mars gets its own video...



Sunlight On Mars by Dodo

The Android’s Dream EP is a re-mastered, re-packaged and re-issued collection of 3 of the best tunes from Dodo’s debut album, The Android’s Dream. Released in 1999 on cult German label Crippled Dick Hot Wax (more usually home to vinyl soundtrack re-issues like the infamous Vampiros Lesbos!) this is the first time the music has been made available for download.

DODO’s original album proved to be way ahead of its time and in many ways sounds better, and more relevant today than it ever did. Sunlight On Mars marries a sophisticated homage to 50’s sci-fi (think FORBIDDEN PLANET) with elements of experimental analogue electronica (Dodo also collects old keyboards) while Cleopatra's Needle melds haunting classical samples with exotica and Iridium completes the package. This is hand crafted electronica and as such really needs to be heard several times to fully reveal its ambient magic.

The Electric Love EP has more recently given a glimpse of what's in store on her forthcoming new album from Freshly Squeezed Music. Title track Electric Love itself is perhaps more immediate than her earlier work and is also the lead track from the new Freshly Squeezed compilation Eclectrik. It’s a left-field electro-pop gem with a hooky chorus and a retro vibe, great lyrics and an almost blues-like sample. It was described by properlychilled.com as “amazing… a minimal 80s aesthetic in an old school Human League style… [with] vocals that just make this soar in an altogether disarmingly alluring way.”

The b-side weights in with a tripped-out dubby instrumental – Nuclear Mustard - imagine John Barry’s Persuaders Theme remixed by King Tubby! While the download EP also includes an extra taster of what to expect on the new album in the shape of Big Eyebrow – a cinematic downtempo waltz reminiscent of cold-war spy films with fur-hatted heroines!

The new album will be available in 2008.

An extraordinary EP that defies classification… one of the most cerebral and filmic things I've heard in ages. DJ Mag

Aural acid candyfloss MixMag

Weird but wonderful Echoes

A classic right from the first second Cuemix Magazine

Retro sci-fi dub electronic exotica from the planet Saturn. Theremins and Moogs circulate in a fecund dub stew of beats and classical loops. Extinction is not an option. NME

The oddly slinky, hypnotic effect of these tunes endures – seductive, warm, textured ambient electronica. Bearded Magazine

The Eclectrik compilation has been described as the soundtrack to a dirty weekend in a decadent boutique hotel by the sea!

It offers a taste of the Brighton label's genre-busting mix of “future cult classics” (The Independent). From the The Lovers’ Jarvis Cocker penned La Degustation, through the late-night electro of Product.01 (whose Hot Trap – included here - went Top Ten on MTV Dance) to the organic ska meets breakbeat of The Voodoo Trombone Quartet (whose previous single almost blew their cult credentials by skimming the edges of the official UK download charts) - the compilation aims to define the sound and ethos of the label by bringing together releases both past, present and future. It even includes a few that ‘got away’.

Although many of these records willfully slipped beneath the mainstream radar, there are songs here like, for instance, Sonido Total from Barcelona’s acclaimed The Pinker Tones that may be more familiar as one of at least six tracks in the TV series Ugly Betty. This sits alongside exclusive new material such as Lodekka’s Yes Mr. B and Electric Love by Dodo (which will also be available as a 7” single to tie in with the album.)

A seamlessly smooth, slinky, sexy and seductive selection of downtempo electronica, contemporary exotica and eccentric pop.
(Nude Magazine - issue 11)

Full of lounging dance-floor killers that ad-men will weep to hear... Enough effortless cool to grace a TV-ad soundtrack very, very soon. http://ldn.flavorpill.net/current/

12 very fine compositions that have, in their own separate ways,
booked into the anti mainstream hotel... Get this or get thinking
differently.

Gold award - 8.5/10

Eclectrik is cheeky and its sexy. There is such a variety of styles at play it seems impossible that they all blend as nicely as they do. Eclectrik calls for nothing but respect for what everyone at Freshly Squeezed is up to right now.
http://www.properlychilled.com/music/release/profile.php?view=461

Its easy to see why big corporations and the movie and TV industry love them so... this is most certainly one to pick up, and if you work in the AD business then it wouldnt hurt to get a copy on expenses now would it?
