Bill Binkelman ("Wind & Wire") (USA)
From the "Electroshock Records" label in Russia comes what is, in my opinion, the first must-have album of the year. It's also the early leader for the top chill-out/ambient recording of 2003. "Midway" unites the assorted guitars (acoustic and electric) of Valery Siver with the electronics and beats of Kiryll Trepakov and the result is, well, fuckin' brilliant...

"Midway" is a new album from "Electroshock" fusing the labels' trademark cutting edge electronic sounds with more conventional instruments. In this case it is guitars (acoustic and electric) and it shows in the way the music has a much more approachable feel and openness to it - indeed, the third track "Hot Wind" is positively jazzy and soul-stirring. In fact this sense of "swing" permeats the album throughout, making it one of the most melodic albums I've heard in a long time...
Dave W. Hughes ("Modern Dance")
Maybe it might be a bit twee for some hard core electronic fans, but I find it a gentle departure from being challenged all the time with darker pieces. A really nice album...
