Well it seems that long players are the flavour of the month at the moment. Resident Advisor today announced – via their weekly newsletter – new albums from Calude VonStroke, Matias Aguayo and Solomun. All due for release in mid to late October.

VonStroke’s new album entitled Bird Brain (Pictured) is reportedly a diversion from his 2006 Beware the Bird release, While Matias Aguayo’s Ay Ay Ay will no doubt be a diverse and quirky affair on the Kompakt label. Solomun’s Dance Baby – due at the end of October – will reportedly showcase “The breadth of his skills” with a large range of stylistic influences to be found on the album.

All should be essential listens and proof that the MP3 is not the death of the long player album – well not yet anyway.
