New Lost Idol album Chrome Machine Tales out now!

UK-based electronic artist Lost Idol returns with his third studio album following the acclaimed Utters From A Cluttered Mind (Cookshop, 2006), Brave The Elements (Cookshop, 2010) and releases through Marco Passarani's Nature Recordings and Pork Recordings. Chrome Machine Tales is an immersive yet surprisingly concise and accessible electronic pop album imbued with a sense of melancholy that has become Lost Idol's calling card.

"Think Fujiya & Miyagi playing with Kraftwerk and fronted by Jacco Gardner" - Resident Music

Splutters From A Cluttered Drive

Hark! The purge of the Lost Idol vault has begun!

'Splutters From A Cluttered Drive' is a collection of Lost Idol recordings from the early 2000's (2000 to 2006 to be more precise). Most of these tracks were released in some shape or form on the Cookshop label, but were never widely available in digital format until now.

Vote for Morning Glory in the Mixcloud & IRF Online Radio Awards

For some time now (over 10 years!) I've been producing the Morning Glory radio show, endeavouring to highlight the very finest experimental electronic music in all shapes and forms. Whilst I do this purely for a love of music and a desire to support fellow artists and labels, it would mean a lot to gain some extra exposure and recognition for the show. So if you have a minute and feel inclined, all you need to do is click this link - http://www.mixcloud.com/onlineradioawards/ - and VOTE! (Category: Electronica / Nomination: www.mixcloud.com/lostidol). Thanks!

When Games Machines Duel

As 2013 ages gracefully, only to end its 365-day life in a booze-aided food frenzy, it's high time to start reflecting on the year that was, if I could only think back beyond the last fortnight that is.

It's been a great year for electronic music - the quite brilliant return of Boards of Canada, not to mention albums from fellow veterans including Mike Paradinas (aka u-Ziq) and Four Tet, plus Jon Hopkins and James Holden - I'll attempt a longer gaze through the rear-view mirror in the new year. But before all that I must alert you to this ace track from Rival Consoles on the Erased Tapes label. 'Odyssey' begins life as a minimal moody chugger with John Carpenter-esque synths building the tension nicely, eloquently unfolding into a fairly epic, cosmic slice of slo-mo techno that sounds like it's just returned to earth in a wood-paneled space wagon.

Check it out below along with a suitably fried video courtesy of Michael Zoidis.

Rival Consoles 'Odyssey' is available now from Erased Tapes.
