Project 5am - 'Quixotes Of Moons Fight The Windmills Of Brixton' [mtk205] (On my CC-licensed net.label: 'This time round, a Monotonik debut for Project 5am, aka Jason Haye, with the distinctly trippy 'Quixotes Of Moons Fight The Windmills Of Brixton'. Verging into deep house, electronic, and chillout, the full-length album is a delightful mix of trancelike and straightforward.')

East Bay Express: 'Orinda's Noise Vomitorium' ("Advances range from $5,000 for Pollard's latest all the way down to $650 for the Eagles of Death Metal's Peace Love Death Metal... Yet this Queens of the Stone Age spinoff band has blown past the 100,000-unit sales mark, and distribution costs hardly dent royalties from a tiny investment that has netted hundreds of thousands of dollars." Interesting.)
