Looking forward to finishing our own album in the next couple of months.

Mainly, that I've seen in 2014, there is only Joe Pug I am looking forward to.

High Hopes, low delivery. Ok, he's gone 60, he's still doing great live shows, but really, it's not great. It's just a good pop record now.

Chvrches (poss new one this year)
Kasabian
Linkin Park
Foxes
Horrors
Grimes

Also news of Beck releasing a proper album "Morning Phase" 24 Feb.

DOWN will be back in the year of XIV. There shall be riff's. Heavy ones.

Above & Beyond's Acoustic album

Above & Beypnd are a British based trance act who have decided to turn a selection of there songs acoustic for an album release

What they have done is create a masterpiece of tracks with real touching emotion without the 'boom boom boom' sound of their normal club tracks

A top album which is worth discovering (a full film of of footage of two nights they did in London is available on 'that' video website which they released on Friday)

Absolutely nothing of any huge interest in the pipeline this year for me other than Sonic Boom Six and Random Hand, maybe The Skints too.

But no doubt by the end of the year, I'll have found another dozen great albums. Same every year....

The Prodigy are due to bring out a new album at some point this year. It was supposed to be out last year, but, as with most of their albums, it will be out late.

However, it will be well worth the wait if going off the new stuff they played when I seen them live in Manchester last December.

It will be 24 years this October since they formed and now into their 6th album. Not bad for a band dismissed as a novelty act by certain sections of the media in their early days.

Todd Terje - It's Album Time
