We complained early when we said that good new bands are already history. The release of the second album of the Los Angeles band Big Fun was a great discovery for us. The full-length album, bizarrely titled 'Oogley Boogley' and featuring 13 tracks, was released on June 5.

Michael Brinkworth made us happy with his second album 'Wasted Wonder' which was released on May 21st. The Australian artist is based in Berlin, where together with his full band he recorded this line of beautiful country tracks.

Musical friendships don't just happen. At least it does not pass without fruit. When Sydney musicians Katie M Little and Timothy Poulton met 25 years ago, they remembered each other for their talent and originality. There were the 90s - a time of stormy rave and cult clubs. These were the days of great electronic music. The musicians recently reunited in the duo Mass Experience to record a series of new singles and release a full-length album.
