Enjoy a couple of great new tracks from a collaboration between Burial and Four Tet. Stream them here. If you don't know Burial, the album Untrue is amazing.
DM Stith: "French film maker, Armel Hostiou, took this fragment of a pop song [Stith's "BMB"] and turned it into a deep, venomous, cavernous trip, like Lynch on downers, or Bergman on speed." "BMB" is from Stith's very creative and dark Heavy Ghost, which is well worth owning. Love this video...

Bell Orchestre likes lightning, and I like their song "Stripes" (from As Seen Through Windows)...
