Polyrock - "Romantic Me"

polyrock - "romantic me" (download)

I recently discovered these guys on the always awesome id Reverberations blog. Polyrock was formed in New York City in the late 70's and lasted until the early 80's. Their biggest clame to fame is that they were produced my legendary composer Philip Glass. Great synth-infused pop a la Talking Heads and Devo, although a bit more rock.

Pivot - "Fool In Rain" / "Furious No Furious"

pivot - "furious no furious" (stream)

from ilikemusic.com:

"Pivot are a rare combination of the emotive and cerebral, harnessing the raw garage energy of three explosive musicians along side intensive studio production. Part prog-warrior, part slacker-geek, their music and approach provide something much needed in a world of nowhere music (being listened to in nowhere bars), Equally influenced by synthesizer luminaries Vangelis and Jean-Michel Jarre, Warp label mates Autechre and the post-punk new wave of Talking Heads, Pivot's Warp album debut O Soundtrack My Heart exudes an omnipresent sense of melodrama and what can only be described as a sort of 'apocalyptic joy'."
