I'm In Love With... Beyond The Wizard's Sleeve:
From the burgeoning sea of remixes that fail to leave a lasting impression, two musical magicians emerge - Beyond The Wizard's Sleeve. Erol Alkan (Producer of Late Of The Pier's Fantasy Black Channel and Mystery Jet's Twenty One) and Richard Norris don't do remixes - they do re-animations. Deconstructing the songs before them, they then re-build, engineering something completely new - an orig

Listening to Sizing Up The Distance (due for digital bonus release April 28) the quality of this band's lushly layered sound is unavoidable. Their tendency to move towards the synthesized just feels completely right, while it remains warm and eng
