The King of Limbs, to be honest, is the prime example of a record ready to be manipulated into remixes by the experimentations of DJ’s and electronic artists. While talk of a full album remix by Flying Lotus circulates, Radiohead have announced a series of summer remix releases. The first of which sees Canadian artist Caribou (Dan Snaith) tackle 'Little By Little', while new boy Jacques Greene gives 'Lotus Flower' a going over.

Concept albums nearly as a rule can either go breathtakingly right, Pink Floyds 'Dark Side of the Moon' and Nine Inch Nails 'The Downward Spiral' for example, or can go hideously wrong, think Pete Townshends 'Psychoderelict' and Styx 'Kilroy Was Here'. So, 'A Start On Such A Night Is Full Of Promise', the debut album by The Mountaineering Club Orchestra, takes a brave leap into this arena with its icy tale of 17th century Norwegian explorers.

Let us be honest, 'Strange House' was a little bit shit. Made by five people who seemed to be more obsessed with their glam-goth appearance then attaining any real music credibility. They were thus given a Chelsea boot up the arse by their record label and kicked to the curb. Surely that was the end of this all too long gothic nightmare. It wasn’t. In what has turned out to be an inspired decision by some fucking genius at XL Records, The Horrors signed a new record deal. The image was played down and through some clever PR we found out that this five-piece really know there stuff. Then they delivered it. Then they delivered not only the greatest album of 2009, but a landmark album for British music. 'Primary Colours' was everything that nobody was expecting.
