I have no recollection of how I found the wonderful and now mysteriously vanished Centre of Wood record label, operating out of Italy, but I did find it. I found it around this time last year, and ordered some CDs and an obscure tape apparently from Norwegian forests performed by unknown musicians (but that's a story for another day). I want to talk about Giampiero Riggio right now, and his wonderful album Seperations, of which only 80 copies were made. They rightfully sold out, so I have uploaded it for your listening pleasure. This album, despite being by an Italian, boasts beautiful and harrowing English lyrics, which I certainly relate to. Whether or not you will I'm not sure, but the poetry within them should be easily apparent to anyone. This is a perfect album for November; a perfect wintry escape into reverberating feedback and nylon strings. I would recommend listening to this in your kitchen on a snowy morning, while asking your mother "Do you care I have finished my meals?".

Western Homes - Are Empty
Western Homes is the bedroom project of a friend of mine; one Ciarán Hoogendoorn. The kind folk(s) at Rack and Ruin kindly released his first album a while ago. It's a lovely little electronica collection comparable to Dntel. Funfact about this album; the majority of this album was recorded in the few weeks before he sat his leaving cert (serious business). I'd recommend listening to this under your sheets on a cold night, the window open, with the sound of light traffic accompanying.
Teengirl Fantasy - CD-R
Teengirl Fantasy are a neat ambienthousetronica duo. And yes, I did just make that genre up (I hope). Saw these duders recently and was pretty blown away. I really envy their delicious geometric synth/drum machine/etc. layout. I'd recommend listening to this in a tron outfit on the way to working nights in a 24 hour tesco.

Me and You and Everyone We Know OST
Wonderful film, wonderful soundtrack. Courtesy of Michael Andrews (Donnie Darko) with a few appearances by some other folk. The music definitely is reminiscent of the Donnie Darko Soundtrack, but it has a much more original sound, being very synthesizer based. Go see the film.
