Trans Europa Express/Trans-Europe Express was the first Kraftwerk album to be mixed in two entirely separate versions, one in German, the other in English. In addition, a French language version of 'Showroom Dummies' entitled 'Les Mannequins' was included on French pressings of the album (which otherwise features the English mix).
Most German pressings (as well as the 2009 remastered reissues) list 'Metall Auf Metall' as two separate tracks, the second part entitled 'Abzug'. Most other versions only list 'Metal On Metal', but include both tracks.
The original German pressing (and many of the other editions) features a monochrome portrait by New York photographer Maurice Seymour, with the group dressed in suits to resemble mannequins. A highly retouched colour photo montage of the group by J. Stara is used for the British, American and other editions. A color collage of the group sitting at a small cafe table designed by Emil Schult was used for the inner sleeve. Most of the 2009 reissues feature a simplified monochrome 'TEE' design.
The original German release includes a colour poster of the Emil Schult image.

2007 Japanese pressing of this collaboration between Ryuichi Sakamoto, formerly of Yellow Magic Orchestra and worldwide laptop guru Fennesz. The impact and importance of this recording is difficult to overstate. Christian Fennesz is far and away the standard- bearer of laptop music, his thawed sound of fractured guitar chords and warm noise melts hearts around the world. Ryuichi Sakamoto, meanwhile, a contributing force in Electronic music for almost three decades in Yellow Magic Orchestra and his vast solo oeuvre, takes his place on laptop next to Fennesz for this historic meeting. Anyone concerned with the future of sound, or interested in modern music composition, or anyone who simply enjoys sweet ambient music should welcome this brilliant music from brilliant talents... towards a more brilliant world. Avex.

Kraftwerk is a German band formed in Düsseldorf in 1970 by Ralf Hütter and Florian Schneider. Widely considered as innovators and pioneers of electronic music, they were among the first successful acts to popularize the genre.

Teaming with producer John Carroll Kirby, the R&B singer sets an idyllic, spiritual mood while contemplating the weight of the world.

Flunk是一支syn-pop乐队,来自挪威的奥斯陆.Anja Oyen Vister的凄美主唱、Ulf Nygaad的迷魂Dubby电子曲式、Jo Bakke的简朴吉他.他们做的是Downtempo Electronica的音乐。在以电子民歌手法重玩New Order的83年经典Blue Monday之后而一举成名。一点Electronica、一点Shoegaze，加一点New order，这就是挪威flunk的特点.2004年的那张Morning Star，融合了Downtempo的梦幻节拍和Alternative Pop/Rock的流畅旋律，再加上清爽Folk线条的点缀，在众多的北欧女声Downbeat乐团中脱颖而出，成为了首屈一指的团体之一。

GORILLAZ DEMON DAYS 收录苹果ipod全新广告曲Feel Good Inc
由Blur主唱Damon Albarn为主并隐身幕后代言沉寂三年
史上最强虚拟乐团街头顽童全新专辑

《等待黎明Demon Days》是一张带有英国风味的嘻哈唱片，Gorillaz保持了对旋律的忠诚和带着文艺气的傲慢。它把嘻哈与福音、朋克、后摇滚、地下电子以及另类流行串联起来，交织出Oasis的固执己见、Blur的直率癫狂、LinkinPark的气势汹汹，甚至还有BeeGees的得意洋洋。首推单曲《Feelgoodinc》以著名嘻哈歌手DeLaSoul的狂笑开场，充满了派对式的快乐；《Everyplanetwereachisdead》夹杂着布鲁斯的哀怨，爵士钢琴声散落其间，令人想起嬉皮士的茫然；《Allalone》中隆隆的Techno电子节拍，配上说唱更是张牙舞爪；HappyMondays主唱ShaunRyder在《Dare》中挎刀相助，69岁老影星DennisHopper的念诵则成为专辑中最让人意外的声音。

來自英國倫敦的樂隊 The xx 用他們的首張專輯《xx》驚艷四座，開篇一曲《Intro》便以獨特的重覆結他 riff 奠定了專輯基調：幽靜而略帶哀愁的節拍，淡然且迷蒙飄忽的唱腔，再加上詩意盎然的詞句，為聽眾勾勒出一系列冷洌的畫面。《VCR》中由空靈清響的前奏漸入，淺唱愛情的甜蜜；而在《Heart Skipped a Beat》中則以增強了的節奏帶動聽者脈搏，以簡約風格彰顯複雜情緒。

Hurts are an English electronic duo from Manchester composed of singer Theo Hutchcraft and synthesiser Adam Anderson both of whom used to be in an outfit called Daggers.

Thom Yorke 今日通过 XL Recordings 推出为电影《阴风阵阵》(Suspiria, 2018)专门创作的原声音乐《Suspiria》。这是一次货真价实的“神仙合作”：鬼才 Thom Yorke 接受新的挑战，为汇聚《Call Me by Your Name》大热导演 Luca Guadagnina、明星 Dakota Johnson、Tilda Swinton 的1977年经典意大利恐怖片翻拍施展魔力——有个声音在告诉你：这个组合也太完美了！影像与声音的诡谲碰撞，令人无比期待。

‘How To Be A Human Being’ is a scrapbook of the bands time spent on the road, gathering memories and perceptions of different types of people from all around the world.
Unveiled in mid May as Annie Mac’s Hottest Record, ‘Life Itself’, the first single from the album, has already elevated the band’s sonorous buzz to a whole new level. The track is an immersive, exotic and characteristically off-kilter earworm, reintroducing the band in the wake of their sensational ascent into a force to be reckoned with.
Glass Animals’ debut ‘Zaba’, released on Paul Epworth’s label Wolf Tone, has so far sold nearly half a million copies worldwide and amassed a staggering 200 million Spotify streams, obliterating all expectations simply by word of mouth. Their anomalous rise has gained the Oxford four-piece a legion of fans all over the world, including festival appearances at the likes of Falls in Australia, Coachella, Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza, Glastonbury and has resulted in the band playing 2 sold out headline shows at LA’s 2000-capacity Wiltern and NYC’s 3000-capacity Terminal 5.
To those expecting another album like Zaba, this album may end up as a disappointment. Glass Animals found success on a rather unique and creative sound and continued to expand their inner-weirdness and creativity by not playing it safe, instead opting for more ambition. This approach has paid off admirably as How to Be a Human Being is more than just a collection of stories told through characters like the ones on the album’s art, but is also a showcase of the band’s talent. Taking this talent, expending as much creative energy and ridiculousness as possible while deviating from their beloved sound, the result is an album that one would be hard pressed to find a comparable output to; and that’s a fantastic dilemma.

Remastered Japanese pressing packaged in a limited edition miniature LP sleeve. Details TBA. 2005.
