we are the night

I've had this album for a week now and I've got to say I am loving every minute of it. It is electronic heaven for me having always really liked the Chemical Brothers. They do not disappoint with this their latest album. Do it again is a floor filling, thumping and really catchy number that's already doing well in the charts. But the whole album is like an ecclectic look through someone's musical tastes. For example "The Salmon Dance" which is just bizarre in that it talks about the life of a salmon?!? and yet the song is really lively and catchy. This album works on first listen and just keeps getting better. Check it out on iTunes here

I love love love Faithless anyway but this video is just a gorgeous realisation of their vision. Inspired by light painting (check out my light painting blog post tags), this video is edgy and sublime. Exactly how dance music videos should be. Inspiring. Love it.

This is a really cool concept. Painting music with gestures. You select an instrument and then paint those musical notes onto a canvas of colour. Watch and listen as your musical masterpiece takes place. I think for something like this to really work a mouse just doesn't cut it. I want to be able to reach in with my hand and paint with real gestures. But a great start into something truly beautiful and unique. View the full page here.
