I have been enjoying the new album by Simian Mobile Disco, part of this years triumvirate of great electro house records, alongside Justice and Digitalism, but it really made me want to dig out the vinyl of their previous incarnation, Simian. They were a different proposition, dreamy electronic pop, especially on their first album, Chemistry Is What We Are. I remembered this as great record, and sorely under-appreciated at the time. After much trawling around the internet, and even an attempt to purchase the physical CD on my last visit to England, I managed to locate the album, and it almost lives up to my expectations. It's less a great record, more a good record with great moments. Its definitely worth tracking down, and definitely better than its deleted status suggests.

After the move, I live in dread of the phrase 'have you got any soulfull house?'
Or really anything they say followed by 'house'.
Unless it was 'Hugh Laurie in...'
Don't be scared of house, my friend, just because 98% of it sucks. Daft Punk are house, and they are the best.
And you can always pass them on to a "specialist" soul and dance person, if you know what I mean...
