Shadow of Fear is Cabaret Voltaire's first studio album in 26 years. Richard H. Kirk is the sole remaining member; he's released many acclaimed solo albums, having invented bleep techno via his groundbreaking work in Sweet Exorcist. Richard H. Kirk has formed this new album from a series of pulverising live shows. The tone and personality of Cabaret Voltaire is ingrained in its core as it dances across techno, dub, house, 1970s Germany and general esoteric explorations coupled with mangled vocal samples.

The new Yello album is finally here! 

Point takes the classic Yello sound of records like Stella, One Second and Flag and twists it into something ultra-modern. It's part spy film, part Dali painting, part strobe-lit dance floor, part 4D car chase and part deep space torch song. 

It's Yello, absolutely on point.

LAU's third cut, Recognise, taken from her forthcoming debut album is yearning for a fresh start and a continuation on the themes started with the previous two singles. Following the popular 'crying at the dancefloor' sub-genre mastered by the likes of Robyn and closer stylistically to an updated Giorgio Moroder masterpiece, the incessant pulsation of the synths, the punchy drums and frieze-like bassline emerges from the darkness like a Phoenix from the ashes of a burnt out relationship. 

The song throws hook after hook, the main leitmotif moves from the lead synth to the vocals and back again like an earworm. At 2:58 the song seems to be only just starting and the sudden ending only leaves us wanting more, forcing us to instantly hit reply. A perfect metaphor for what it seems to be the events that inspired the song in the first place. This is the true mark of a great song masterly put together.
