Ian Carr with Nucleus - LabyrinthLabyrinth is dark, brooding, beat heavy, melancholic mood music courtesy of Ian Carr and the Nucleus crew. A favourite of Madlib, it goes without saying that this is one magnificent record. Originally released on Vertigo in 1973, Labyrinth was never re pressed and of course those original copies are now very tricky to score. Like all the Nucleus records, its aged ridiculously well and this Be With re issue, re mastered from the original analogue

With the formidable Daniel Treacy at its core

and of course

While in Northern Italy

Donnie Owens

Like many of their suburban kith

Florence Welch (Florence and the Machine) and Jonathan Rado (Foxygen)

Volume II didn’t let up

psychedelic journey influenced by bands such as King Crimson

This new record sees the band veer away from the confrontational lyricism of their debut & indicates Goat Girl’s maturing perspectives in discussing the world's injustices and social prejudices

is a testament to Sufjan's songwriting

captivated by his own image like Narcissus at water’s edge

on an eight-track recorder given to him by none other than Johnny Marr
