The Kings of Diggin' by Ami Kealoha
bbe Music's "Kings of" series. Muro's contribution is an epic 44-track long anthology that opens with soaring glam 70s disco with near-constant flute riffs and slowly makes its way into more James Brown-esque grooves. More funk-heavy still is Kon & Amir's disc that could easily be a soundtrack to a blacksploitation film or its Tarantino ripoff. Listening to either disc makes for a nerdy game of "This Sounds Like..."

Maths Class
by Mat Lyon Maths Class are the latest U.K. band exploring the intersection where Post-Rock, New Wave, Pop and (yes) Math Rock collide. From the shards of this genre car crash, they form a compelling racket that's chaotic and precise in equal measure, jerking between passages at super speed and challenging the listener to keep up. They walk a tightrope of technical ability, creative endeavor...

The Heavy: Great Vengeance and Furious Fire
By happy accident I recently caught the amazing sounds of The Heavy on a BBC radio live session and almost had to stop the car for fear of crashing with the thrill of it. Incredibly rich, funky and, well, appropriately heavy music; the lead singer's voice could melt your insides. Although musical comparisons are often crass, you can't help but hear echoes of Curtis...
