Another month of great music greets us as we power into Autumn – Jo Johnson‘s ‘Alterations Vol.1’ is another contender for the album of the year list, made up of tracks and remanants that she released as they were finished over the course of the year, collected now into an album with the follow up already begun – check her Bandcamp page for more. I recently discovered the band SML on International Anthem which is why this list includes two of their releases and the ever-prolific Future Sound of London also feature twice with an expanded version of ‘A Controlled Vista’ and a new release, ‘Unrealities’ which sees the release of longform pieces made for the Touched Music online listening parties.

Analog Mutants‘ brilliantly-named ‘Brothers of Invention’ is some contemporary hip hop that throws back to the 00’s in style and Ac1D Vicious is manic drum ‘n’ bass on the Beat Machine label’s Swinging Flavors series of dance 45s. Although we have to wait until January for the album, Barry Adamson graces us with one track from his ‘Scala!!!’ film soundtrack and, because it’s Halloween, it’s time for the latest Delights release, this time from Voxatone, returning for a second outing with some fuzz drums that compliment Adamson’s spy jazz perfectly. Last but not least, James Adrian Brown releases the first single from his forthcoming debut album proper – ‘Generator’ – with a host of remixes from the likes of Warrington Runcorn and Field Lines Cartographer.
