			<title><![CDATA[Review: Dub Gabriel "Luv n' Liv feat. U-Roy" (Destroy All Concepts)]]></title>
			<link><![CDATA[http://www.properlychilled.com/music/release/733]]></link>
			<description><![CDATA[[2010-03-09 - CD] As a single from his forthcoming, fourth album The Cut Up, Dub Gabriel's Luv n' Liv is something quite interesting.  It manages to bring together some unlikely, and heavy talent.  On vocals you'll hear toasting legend U-Roy.  Playing bass is David J, whom you may know from his past work in bands like Bauhaus and Love And Rockets.  The whole collaboration was touched off by no less than Scientist, an undeniable legend in the dub world.  Following the talent trail further reveals Ysanne Spevack on strings, who recently finished work with Smashing Pumpkins.  To call this a motley crew is definitely an understatement.  But then you have to consider the remixers too.]]></description>

			<title><![CDATA[Review: Various Artists (Muti Music) "Symbiosis Gathering 2009 Compilation" (Muti Music)]]></title>
			<link><![CDATA[http://www.properlychilled.com/music/release/732]]></link>
			<description><![CDATA[[2009-10-05 - CD] Symbiosis Gathering is something of a "burning man in the forest" festival held annually in Yosemite, CA.  There is as much focus on music at Symbiosis as art, and art in many forms.  In order to raise awareness of the event, the organizers, tightly entwined with (if not one in the same with) Muti Music, have released a compilation to showcase its musical offerings.]]></description>

			<title><![CDATA[Review: Chris Joss "Monomaniacs Vol 1" (Eighteenth Street Lounge Music)]]></title>
			<link><![CDATA[http://www.properlychilled.com/music/release/731]]></link>
			<description><![CDATA[[2010-01-12 - CD] Chris Joss is one funky man.  If you don't believe me, haven't heard of him, or if you love funk music, you owe it to yourself to check out his latest album, Monomaniacs Vol. 1.  I interviewed him back when his last album was out and he spoke a bit about this one.  His original intention was to present this album as if it were a compilation.  That explains the title.  He was even considering making up fictitious bands to credit.  He scrapped that idea, and that's good for him.  He deserves all the credit here.]]></description>

			<title><![CDATA[Review: The Sales Department "Measured Life" (Noise Factory Records)]]></title>
			<link><![CDATA[http://www.properlychilled.com/music/release/730]]></link>
			<description><![CDATA[[2009-06-09 - CD] There is a really large pool of music that exists at the triangular center of idm, ambient, and ambient trance.  That's a somewhat harsh triangulation, and of course doesn't say everything, but it's not so far off either.  In fact, with an album like Measured Life, by The Sales Department, I think it's undeniable.  By the way, The Sales Department is a project founded by Mike Matheson, who previously founded Beef Terminal.]]></description>

			<title><![CDATA[Review: The Embassadors "Coptic Dub" (Nonplace)]]></title>
			<link><![CDATA[http://www.properlychilled.com/music/release/729]]></link>
			<description><![CDATA[[2009-11-20 - CD] Embassadors are a sleepy, live jazz dub band.  I guess that could really conclude my review, because it really sums it all up.  The thing is, they do sleepy jazz dub really, really well.  The Embassadors are something of an avant-jazz world supergroup, with each of the players being at the top of their game.  It shows here.  While most avant-jazz I've heard is too schizophrenic and unbound to enjoy, this album, Coptic Dub is very different.]]></description>

			<title><![CDATA[Review: Dymons "Druids Brew" (Elestial Records)]]></title>
			<link><![CDATA[http://www.properlychilled.com/music/release/728]]></link>
			<description><![CDATA[[2007-07-06 - CD] This one is for all you smokers.  It's for all you mushroomers too.  Seriously.  It is.  Dymons or Daniel Symons, is for all purposes, indistinguishable from Elestial, the label on which his music is released.  I'm talking about Druids Brew here, and this is the first solo album effort from Dymons and the first release on Elestial.  If you've been into the dub stylings of Interchill lately, you should pay attention here.]]></description>

			<link><![CDATA[http://www.properlychilled.com/music/release/727]]></link>
			<description><![CDATA[[2009-04-25 - CD] Bubbling up out of the primordial soup of Kingston and its famed Liguanea Club, a venue filmed in the James Bond classic, Dr. No, Mr. Anonymous is something curious.  This is in fact a collective of musicians you've probably already heard of, like Sly & Robbie, Ranking Roger, Dave Wakeling of The English Beat organization, Ranking Jr. of Birmingham, England, as well as Kingston residents Mega Banton and Pinchers.  This is the groups second album, and it's a deep dancehall and reggae excursion that rolls from laid back slow burners to full on dancehall floor killers.]]></description>

			<title><![CDATA[Review: Mavis (Presented by Ashley Beedle & Darren Morris) "Mavis" (!K7 Records)]]></title>
			<link><![CDATA[http://www.properlychilled.com/music/release/726]]></link>
			<description><![CDATA[[2010-02-16 - CD] In a lot of ways this is music for those peculiarly shattered moments, when you're dealing with some heavy emotions, and because of them feel a kind of renewed strength, empathy and humility.  It's disarming like that, and not at all simple.  I'm talking about Mavis, a project from Ashley Beedle and Darren Morris, that holds as its sole major inspiration a cover version of a Burt Bacharach tune called "A House is Not a Home".  The version was performed by the revered Mavis Staples.  If you know that song, one listen here and you'll know that Mavis have faithfully recreated and explored its soul throughout each of the songs on this album.]]></description>

			<title><![CDATA[Review: !Deladap "Sara La Kali" (Chat Chapeau)]]></title>
			<link><![CDATA[http://www.properlychilled.com/music/release/725]]></link>
			<description><![CDATA[[2008-10-03 - CD] There is a place here on earth where a band with the sounds of !Deladap should enjoy the sickening celebrity of pop stars.  That place is unfortunately nowhere near where I live.  That would give me reason to respect the artistic inclination of the masses.  For which I have none.  Deladap call their style Nu Roma, or "The Urban Gypsy Sound".  You are likely to file them under something like Balkan Beat, right next to the recent works of Shantel and Boban Markovic.  There is something about this style of music that just makes you smile and want to jump around a room, or street.]]></description>

			<title><![CDATA[Review: Heyoka "Gate Code" (Muti Music)]]></title>
			<link><![CDATA[http://www.properlychilled.com/music/release/724]]></link>
			<description><![CDATA[[2009-11-11 - CD] Considering how much collective sweat critics and fans dripped for phenomena like grime and dubstep in recent years, one would come to expect a much warmer welcome to records like this. Heyoka's "Gate Code" follows last year's "Space Case EP", his first release on the Muti Music label, and has every twist and turn you normally file under the glitch hop and instrumental hip-hop tags. That being said, why aren't these 13 tracks getting all the love they deserve?]]></description>

			<title><![CDATA[Review: Various (Fort Knox) "The New Gold Standard 2" (Fort Knox Recordings)]]></title>
			<link><![CDATA[http://www.properlychilled.com/music/release/722]]></link>
			<description><![CDATA[[2009-11-17 - CD] Fort Knox Recordings is a pretty awesome little label.  It was founded by the guys who bring you music as Fort Knox Five, Thunderball, and a few other names, and they jumped into the endeavor knowing that 100% quality is the only way to get things done.  Mostly, Fort Knox is a 12" vinyl single house.  Every so often though, they release a full-length, and they even do it on CD sometimes.  One such full-length release was the 2006 compilation The New Gold Standard.  It showcased the labels current and future talents, and it was in fact pure gold.  The Gold Standard series highlight the labels current roster of talent. The second in that series is now out, but how do you maintain such a high standard of quality?  Or more importantly, did they?]]></description>
