Title:	10th Avenue Freakout
Label:	LEX RECORDS (UK)
Format:	CD
Price:	$16.00
Catalog #:	LEX 033CD

"After three acclaimed releases with Ninja Tune, Andrew Broder brought his Fog project to Lex Records in 2004. With Lex, Broder has found the encouragement to develop his well-deserved reputation as a sonic-maverick, creating marvelous sounds out of meager studio dust. Recorded almost entirely within the confines of his Minneapolis home (on 10th Avenue, of course), Broder's new album features contributions from several notable avant-garde musicians, including George Cartwright (Curlew), Michael Lewis (Happy Apple) and Dosh (Anticon)- not to mention contribution from all members of the Fog live band and production assistance from Tom Herbers (Low). Only a music-maker as assured as Broder could corral such a group into smoothing away the usual contradictions of contemporary music. This is indie rock that'll make you smile, free jazz you can dance to, and electronic music you will actually want to engage with again and again."

Title:	Diggler's Romance
Label:	METROLINE LIMITED (UK)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	MLTD 042EP

Fog presents an excellent EP for Metroline. "Diggler's Job" is a breezy house number with pimping keys and a beautiful bass bounce. There's plenty of movement in the percussion and a light touch that just begs for summer to come. "Shout Romance" is a shade tougher with its up-front kicks and acid-tinged bass line. It has slow burn intensity that is nicely counterbalanced by smooth, reverb-soaked vintage synths. The Jackspot remix really brings out the funk in those synths.
