My favourite album of 2011. Reminds me of Portishead, but much better. At times it sounds like Autechre hired Siouxsie for vocals. You weren't looking for something jolly for the holiday season were you?

Xenakis has a reputation for being inaccessible and it's probably justified. But I don't see why anyone would have trouble with this work for percussion. I much prefer the version played by the "red fish blue fish" ensemble but this youtube video at least gives you some idea.

One of my favourite tracks. All seems sweet and light until 1:50, it descends into apparent chaos at 2:00, lulls you into a false sense of security at 2:15, and then he gradually reopens the floodgates. But at 5:00 he just acts all innocent like nothing ever happened.

It's not Joy Division, but it's the nearest thing.
