Must hear:

_BT.

Leave your thoughts.

In my eyes, BT is mainly responsible for two things:

1. One of the most innovative and inspiring electronica albums of all time, This Binary Universe

2. One of the best nights of my life, courtesy of a DJ set @ Soundbar in Chicago a year and a half ago. When his set opened with the acapella from Marvin Gaye’s “What’s Goin’ On”, I knew I was in for a very special night.

It appears he’ll be adding to that list of accomplishments with what promises to be another genre-busting album. Read about it here on Nettwerk’s blog:

BT Returns With Long Awaited Sixth Album ‘These Hopeful Machines’ On Feb 2; New Single “Suddenly” Out Jan 12 | Nettwerk Press Blog.

From the write-up:

There are also multiple collaborators on These Hopeful Machines, like Rob Dickinson vocals on “Always” and “The Unbreakable,” Jes, (formerly of Motorcyle) on “Every Other Way” and “The Light In Things,” and The Police’s Stewart Copeland who lends a drum breakdown to “Every Other Way.”

If you’ve heard “As The Rush Comes” by Motorcycle, then you know that having Jes as a collaborator on this album is reason enough to be giddy.

I am.
