LAST CHANCE - The Long Count

Wed, 01 Feb 2012 10:37:31 +0000

The Long Count, a metaphor-laden game of rounders and key to the Mayan creation myth, forms the basis of this ambitious collaboration. Ethereal visuals by artist Matthew Ritchie have been synced to a score written by the Dessner twins (of band The National) and performed by a 12-piece orchestra.

COMING SOON - A Dangerous Method

Thu, 26 Jan 2012 11:51:12 +0000

David Cronenberg does Freud? Yes, but banish any thoughts of bodily nastiness la Videodrome, this is nothing but insightful historical biography. The father of psychoanalysis goes head to head with his one-time cohort Carl Jung (Michael Fassbender), as the two men fall helplessly enthrall to a patient (Keira Knightley).

NEW THIS WEEK - We Have Band - Ternion

Wed, 25 Jan 2012 17:54:35 +0000

The London/Manchester trio return with a second album of dark, emotional electro. In a Depeche Mode fashion, discordant bleeps and drones travel along dance beats and prominent bass-lines. In an exercise in self-deconstruction par excellence, the band are also releasing a separate album featuring their own remixes of the tracks featured.
