I just noticed that her Royksopp collaboration is finally out. They recorded that back 2012. It has a really nice Irrepressibles b-side that you can check out here -

How intriguing does that look? I will definitely have to check that out. I have always truly appreciated Katia's equally refined and furious playing while working with the legendary jazz fusion guitarist John McLaughlin in the ensemble The Translators (going back a long long way to the albums Belo Horizonte and Music Spoken Here). And her 2010 release Shape Of My Heart makes for a nice listen.
And thanks for the mere mention of Howard Skempton above has now quite easily influenced my listening habits this morning while tidying up a bit around the abode - Well, Well, Cornelius performed by John Tilbury:

I guess you also know the album Unspoken from The Katia Labèque Band, which features music from Dave Maric (digital & analogue electronics), Miles Davis/Robert Irving III and Radiohead.

Reminds me a very little bit of Canto Ostinato from the late Simeon Ten Holt.

Thanks, I wasn't aware of that release either.

Scott Johnson: "Patty Hearst". Bought this on LP in 1990 and now got an updated version on Tzadik from 2007, containing one bonus-track.

Choir Of Young Believers: Paralize, a track from their studio-album "Rhine Gold", which was my favourite CD from 2012.

Going through my old records...Aztec Camera "Knife"
Great album, has stood the test of time and still sounds fresh. Roddy Frame in optima forma!

Got that one on LP too, in fact the only AC I bought in those days. A Mark Knopfler production!

Yesterday I bought an album produced by Skúli Sverrisson, known for his work on the Sakamoto/Sylvian-single World Citizen: Ólöf Arnalds: Sudden Elevation.

B.t.w. I love Skúli's solo-recordings Seria I and II. Very atmospheric.

Pensiero Nomade: Imperfetta Solitudine, for those who like a smooth trumpet, beautiful acoustic guitar-playing and great atmospherics. I could imagine David singing on these tracks somehow.
