HUMAN LEAGUE will perform 'DARE' in it's entirety for the very first time

Fan-bloomin-tastic!!

One of my fave albums of all time and a big influence on me so this is great news

Seen the League live twice before and it's always a seductive mix of pure synthpop genius coupled with 80's school disco nostalgia for me but this should be something special - glad I have managed to secure reasonable tickets for the Nottingham Gig - albeit 6 days after it was announced - doh

Full details on the League Online website but the gist is as follows:

Electronically Yours is delighted to reveal the 2007 dates where The Mighty League will perform 'Dare' in it's entirety for the very first time. The League's manager Simon Watson today confirmed the dates and details regarding the TBC dates should be known shortly.Tickets will go on sale this weekend though Simon is keen to stress that some venues may be slow in getting these details up so keep an eye on venue websites and other outlets such as ticketmaster.co.uk.

Covenant - The Men (Remix Version)

Joined the 'dark side' for tonights musical entertainment - Tormented Radio are serving up a fine blend of EBM & industrial...

Stand out track so far is the superb Covenant - The Men (Remix Version) - awesome! melodic, powerful and great vocals (normally the weak point with this style of music for me)

Check out the superb (if a bit slow) Covenant website

DAVE GAHAN - New Album!

DAVE GAHAN - "HOURGLASS"
http://www.davegahan.com/news/press_release_20070626.html
It has a title! Dave's second solo album, slated for a late October release, will be titled "Hourglass". Check out the press release for some insight into the recording process, upcoming song titles, and the crew behind the album!

Look forward to that - especially as it states "HOURGLASS is more electronic-sounding than Paper Monsters"

Autechre - Eutow

Just tuned into the superb Limbik Frequencies web radio station and they are playing 'Eutow' by Autechre - what a SUPERB track!!

Some early tracks from Autechre have left me fairly underwhelmed but this is a corker and although the album it is from, 'Tri Repetae' has been out for ages it is still on my shopping list

Worth checking out

Thingamagoops

I must get me one of these!
Thingamagoops are really just simple, analog type synthesizers but I can see why the are popular....very silly....

Watch the demo or check out the site

Tycho

Just listening to the album by Tyco called "Past is Prologue" (Merck044 2006)

Superb IDM, really gentle and relaxing and although obviously falls into the bleepy IDM category somewhere, the main point of this is 'melody' and electronics, not predictable sound effects - Nice......
