Step Up (2014) by Angelica Paez<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u2022 Lots of attention this week for Kevin Martin whose latest album as The Bug, Angels And Devils<\/em><\/a>, is out now on Ninja Tune. The previous Bug release, London Zoo<\/em> (2008), was a fierce collection that stood apart from the Grime pack not only for its guest vocalists but also for being informed by Martin’s broad range of influences: industrial and extreme electronics, heavyweight dub, metal and avant-garde jazz. Martin was interviewed by The Quietus<\/a> and FACT<\/a> who also asked other musicians to choose their favourite Martin recordings<\/a>. Elsewhere, The Wire<\/em> has Swarm<\/em><\/a>, a track not included on the album.<\/p>\n

Related: Martin’s four superb compilation albums for Virgin Records have been deleted for years but are worth seeking out: Ambient 4: Isolationism<\/em><\/a>, Macro Dub Infection Volume One<\/em><\/a> & Volume Two<\/em><\/a>, and Jazz Satellites Volume 1: Electrification<\/em><\/a> (Virgin cancelled volume 2).

\u2022 “…it never becomes quite clear why two grown men would want to write to each other in the guise of a horse and a cat.” Henry Giardina<\/a> reviews The Animals: Love Letters Between Christopher Isherwood and Don Bachardy<\/em>, edited by Katherine Bucknell.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Shufflepoems: A Deck of Poetry<\/em> by Lydia Swartz<\/a>. “100 cards, four suits, one stanza per card. Shuffle for a new adventure every time.” The project needs a last-minute push to gain Kickstarter funding so if this sounds interesting go, go, go!<\/p>\n

\u2022 The Haxan Cloak’s favourite heavy metal albums<\/a>. Metallica’s Master Of Puppets<\/em> still gets my vote. More from The Quietus: David Stubbs<\/a> on the Werner Herzog soundtracks of Popol Vuh.<\/p>\n

\u2022 At Strange Flowers<\/a>: Waking the witch, a remembrance of occult artist Rosaleen Norton and other characters from Sydney’s Kings Cross area, with news of a planned Norton documentary.<\/p>\n

\u2022 A nine-note motif has for decades signalled “Asian” in popular music. Kat Chow<\/a> looks at the history of a musical stereotype.<\/p>\n
