A1  Love or music
A2  The cold world melts
A3  Voices
B1  Métaux Mous
B2  Another goodbye

Soft Metals is a band that's also a love story. Ian Hixx and Patricia Hall. They met when Ian was searching for someone to sing on his electronic songs and Patricia wanted music to her poetry. They started to work together and Patricia fell in love with Ian. She started to express her love in the lyrics of the songs they were creating together, and soon the two were a couple. With their love for each other, and their love for analogue synths and drum machines, they created their first release in 2010 - The cold world melts.

If the band itself is a love story, then the music is pure analogue porn. It really sounds old school, and it sounds darn good. It reminds me of the music of Man Parrish, but it also has acid, house and disco vibes. On top of that is Patricias voice which supply the songs with romantic and melancholy qualities.

The cold world melts is a really strong debut and I have just fallen in love with the anlogue soundscape they create. Favorite tracks are The cold world melts and Another Goodbye, but Love or music and Voices are almost equally good. The only song that is a bit less interesting is the instrumental  song Métaux mous.

I will write more about Soft Metals in the near future as their first self-titled album is released today (110719) on Captured Tracks. It's high on my wish-list.

Signal Aout 42 - I want to push
Format: 12"
Style: EBM, Techno
Label: Music Man Records

http://www.discogs.com/Signal-Aout-42-I-Want-To-Push/release/45490

A1  I want to push (Haunted Mix by SA 42)
B1  I want to push (Remix by D.J.P.C)
B2  I want to push (DJ P. Traikos remix)

Jacky Meurisse is one of those music makers who's sound I just love. It's a mix of the best sounds and grooves from EBM, Techno and New Beat. He always makes it sound very cool.

I want to push leans towards techno, but still has that slightly harder EBM-attitude. It was released 1990, but I still think it sounds amazing. It's only the D.J.P.C. remix that sounds really dated. Traikos remix don't really add anything to the song, but it's a diffrent version if you get overdozed on the original. A relly good song for the dancefloor.

I got mine copy from Tradera and I think I paid around 4€ for it.

Mr Jones Machine - De månbleka tingen
Format 7"
Style: Synthpop
Label: Progress Productions

A  De månbleka tingen
B  Elektricitet

This is long overdue and I should have written a blog about this one long time ago. My favorite swedish synthpop-group, Mr Jones Machine, released a new album on the 30th  March, named Monokrom.

De månbleka tingen was the first single from the album and it is also the first realease on vinyl from the band. It's not my favorite track from the album.  It's a duet with Susie Päivärinta from swedish 80s icons Lili & Susie, that might explain why it was chosen as a single before stronger songs like Mannen i svart or Vit Citroën. But De månbleka tingen is still a good song and it still grows on me.

For me the main reason to buy this single is the b-side and the song Elektricitet. It's not on the album and unique for this single. A really good song with a lovely analogue sound. Definitely a new Mr Jones favorite for me.
