Working For A Nuclear Free City - Business & Ghosts (2007)

The beauty of "Working For A Nuclear Free City", their last album, with its ability to visit a myriad of sounds while still remaining cohesive and controlled "Business & Ghosts" comes now as a refreshing split into the “official” album "Businessmen", and a collection of B-sides, outtakes, and various other tracks that didn’t quite make the cut over the years in "Ghosts".
"Businessmen" is an album of diversity. "Ghosts", on the other hand, is purely electronic and ambient. Here dwell tracks that are perhaps more unfocused than those in "Businessmen", but if you’ve enjoyed the ride so far you won’t be exiting just yet. The band's best bass-driven dancefloor bangers and stately, textured landscapes are all here.
If you’ve liked Radiohead’s electronic sides, Explosions in the Sky’s more ambient work, or any sort of genre-bending such as electronic, instrumental, zouk, shoegaze, post-rock and alternative, get this album. Working For A Nuclear Free City is prepping for their storm, and it will be severe. So breath the air, and enjoy what’s coming. Too good to be lost...

Radical Face - Ghost (2007)


In comparison to the project focused on muted indie pop called Electric President where this project continually reminds you of digital nature of the production, with its glitchy beats and cut-up instruments, Radical Face is where Ben Cooper (member of duo Electric President and Radical Face) indulges his more trad songwriting ambitions. So"Ghost" becomes a songwirter album, or rather, a song-writing album, with tracks carefully arranged interiors, chamber folk, pockep symphonies and passionate melodies. He Let the instruments tale a deep breath and created a breathing record, a lively, warm Ghost.
