Marina & The Diamonds



Got it for Julia, also myself. Haven't listened to anything but the singles yet though. I really love 'I Am Not A Robot'.

La Roux



Got it for my sisters, it grew on me... it's not a perfect album, and there are some forgettable tracks but some of it is great. Nice change up from Lady Gaga if you want to kick it with some female voxed electropop. Plus Elly Jackson is absolutely gorgeous(much better looking than Gaga too, in my opinion), so that's a plus.

BT




One of my favorite electronica albums of all time... this is some ambient-glitch from BT. Pretty different from his normal trance shit, but I love this. There's 3 songs that have a 110 piece orchestra kicking out some jams. And the album, in all of it's orchestral-jazz-glitch-pop-breakbeat-classical entirety is absolutely beautiful.

Benn Jordan



Super mellow, ambient sounds by the normally DnB artist Benn Jordan(bka The Flashbulb).
Very spacey, very chill. As the title suggests, it's space rock... inspired by a journey through the Cosmos and the black.

Look again at that dot. That’s here. That’s home. That’s us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every ’superstar’, every ’supreme leader’, every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there – on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

- Carl Sagan

Lightspeed Champion



I fell in love with 'Falling Off The Lavender' Bridge, Devonte Hynes of the Test Icicles' debut album as Lightspeed Champion... so I was elated when I heard about a second release by this quirky Londoner. Haven't heard it all, but what I have heard is quite good.
