Review: Post-punk aficionados may already by familiar with Crash Course In Science, a Philadelphia-based band who released two acclaimed singles between 1979 and '81, before going their separate ways. Here, one of the band's previously unheard 1981 demos gets mixed and released for the first time. "Jump Over Barrels" is a song about overcoming adversity, and in newly mixed form sounds like a lost post-punk classic. It's accompanied by a couple of demos - their initial 1981 recording, and an earlier, deliciously skeletal and heavy rehearsal version - and a fresh remix from Tadd Mullinix under his now familiar Charles Manier alias. The Ann Arbor-based producer does a good job of toughening up the track for modern dancefloors, whilst retaining the free-spirited essence of Crash Course In Science's original.

Review: Influenced by her time in the French countryside after a bout of touring exhaustion, the latest release by Caroline Herve is the most spiritual release yet from the artist more widely known as (Miss) Kittin. The electroclash pioneer and techno veteran gives up past formulas on the Cosmos LP, although there is a familiar sound on the moody electro-pop opener "Cosmic Address". Elsewhere, she proves there's variety in her sonic arsenal such as on the precision IDM of "Question Everything" or "Last Day On Earth", to the deep and introspective dub techno on "Multiverse" and the remainder of the album's expressions in organic, leftfield electronica.
