Manu Chao La Radiolina (Because Music)
Nigel Williamson, Uncut
"Chao's 1998 solo debut Clandestino sold 4m copies around the world, but precious few of those were in the UK. His first full studio album in six years should finally change all that. La Radiolina effervesces with all the joy and exuberance, the Latin vibes and the global beats that made Clandestino so wonderful - but with a fiesta of added guitars, so it's not so much a world music album as a global rock mission statement."
Crystal Castles Crimewave (Trouble)
Tim Chester, NME
"Finally! I've been waiting over a year for more from Canada's electro pair. Their Alice Practise EP last summer was a bolt from the blue; a weird combination of beeps, blips, squeals and squelches (from a keyboard with an Atari 5200 soundchip stuffed inside) and genuinely emotive screeching vocals. Since then, they've been nothing but a series of rumours (they're on the run from Canadian police, they were a glam rock band for 10 years) and unbelievably inventive remixes. Crimewave is actually a cover of a track by hardcore band Health, offers more retro digital goodness, and might just replace Air War as my phone ringtone."
