I am biased, though. Time to declare my interests here; I own/run Hidden Music, and I'll be releasing Redpoint's first album in a month or two. It's even better than the Stay at Home EP, which you can download at: http://www.hiddenmusic.co.uk/releases/stayathome/ Redpoint are on Myspace at http://www.myspace.com/redpointhidden . (Blag attempt: If anyone knows anyone who can get demoes to the right people at the right distributors - Baked Goods, for instance - please mail me at the email address at the bottom of this email. I'd be enormously in your debt.) All of this has, to my shame, been held up by my PhD viva (later this month); seems like yesterday I was talking about my undergrad finals on here! Once I've done that, it's full-bore promoting their record, because it *deserves* to be enormous. I also record for the label as Covert; there's a two-year old EP of mine at Hidden Music, but my own album (which you can hear some tracks off at my myspace, http://www.myspace.com/covertmusic ) will follow in the summer. I'm also really glad to see Colin big up my favourite album probably ever, Ulrich Schnauss's astounding "A Strangely Isolated Place". It's the record, more than any other, which got me into making music. It's almost perfect, and wherever it's pointing to - somewhere always just over the horizon, at dawn - is where I want to live. Weirdly, Myspace just kicked my computer into playing Map Ref; another song which, for me, pushes all the same enormous, beatific, futuristic, pop nerves as Ulrich Schnauss' "On My Own". That's the continuum - from Wire through My Bloody Valentine via Mogwai passing through Radiohead's "Everything In Its Right Place" to Ulrich Schnauss - - I aspire to. Actually, that's the thing about Wire; I can't think of another band so poised at the intersection of so many styles and audiences. Just right now, they're part of the art-punk/art-rock revival, the indiefication of IDM (Ulrich Schnauss, Styrofoam, Lali Puna, The Postal Service...), the electro revival of Ladytron et al, the genuine avant-garde all at once; no wonder half the time this list never agrees on anything! I hope we can agree on this, though: Happy New Year!
