‘Superficiality is everything’ – that’s a mantra I hear a great many times these days. In a world of blipverts, unlimited free availabiity of music and micro gen-Y attention spans, the days of long, languid periods of pre-coital courting with musicians appear to be gone. First impressions count, and a bad first impression counts double. So here it is – my superficial confession: Lone<\/strong>‘s album cover reminds me of bad, Euro-Minstry-of-Sunshine-electro-house music marketing, misogynistic blokes thinking that lipgloss, titties and babes will help sell their opportunistic, piss-poor music.<\/p>\n Exhibit A:<\/p>\n \n Case for the prosecution over, here’s the case for the defence: underneath that misdirecting cover is a gorgeous album, where Boards Of Canada<\/strong> fall into a passionate, groping roll in the hay with Flying Lotus<\/strong> and the ever-mutating Wonky genre. Full-length cuts meld with brief snapshots and textures, combining to produce an album dripping with warmth and promise – so much so, that it might well be time to reappraise that album cover after all.<\/p>\n This new mix from Lone<\/a> pulls an almost unrivaled list of players into the light: Plaid, Kode 9, The Tuss, Rustie, Clark<\/strong> and more.<\/p>\n Lone – Naomixxx<\/strong> | zshare<\/a><\/p>\n 1 – kona triangle – pinchbeck intro Bonus: <\/em>Lone – Beach Bump<\/strong> | mediafire<\/a><\/p>\n![\"httppivotcmail4comtyldrkieyhklkrjrir4440a611-e106-4257-a818-4dcb8a0774e7.jpg\"](\"http:\/\/discontentblog.files.wordpress.com\/2009\/01\/httppivotcmail4comtyldrkieyhklkrjrir4440a611-e106-4257-a818-4dcb8a0774e71.jpg\")
