It takes more than a snowdrift or two to keep the Just team from beavering away at Just Music HQ to keep you posted on our music news and to warm those cold winterbits... bbbbbrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr... some heartwarming news......
Marconi Union - the electro ambient duo wizards from Manchester now with their
massively critically acclaimed new album, A Lost Connection which we are delighted to have just made available digitally on
Just Music - are not only receiving their due recognition and deserts for this new album - including amazing rave reviews and high chart placements in the echo and amazon charts in this genre - but have also had their 2006 album
The Distance named as one of
the Essential Albums in the Ambient genre of all time by the Sunday Times. If you are not familiar with their music we invite you to check out their new Just Music album and you wont be surprised at the critical momentum that is building up for this band!!!
In December,
Fluid Radio listeners voted
A Lost Connection their album of the year. To recognise this Marconi Union created an exclusive hour long mix for them, featuring many new and unreleased tracks as well as some different versions of old tunes. It was broadcast at the beginning of January and received an astonishing response with literally hundreds of e-mails requesting it be repeated. In response Fluid will now be rebroadcasting it at 7pm on Wed 11th Feb (UK time zone). If you missed it first time around, we'd highly recommend checking it out as it gives a great indication of Marconi Union's current musical direction and more than a few clues as to where might be heading next.
Continuing one of the great
Just Music news stories for 2009, following on from his brilliant first two albums
Opalescent and
Contact Note - both of which in turn have undoubtedly become
seminal albums - Jon Hopkins' brand new album,
Insides, will be released worldwide by
Domino on the 11th May 2009. As a musical statement it is undoubtedly a development and progression of Jon's musical journey - and in our humble opinion - towards him soon becoming one of the recognised leaders in his field of music. Check out more news and the free downoad
