Crystal Castles -- Crystal Castles (CD)

Out now

Nutty thrash-electro duo Crystal Castles have been bubbling on the underground scene in the UK for a while now, but now look set to be one of 2008’s most interesting breakthrough acts. Their self-titled debut is scrappy little mixed bag full of disorientatingly good electro, punk, and leftfield numbers that beg to be played on repeat. Nice.

Rules For Saying Goodbye -- Katherine Taylor (Paperback)

In stores 15 May 2008

Although the cover and title suggest that this book is yet another slice of boring chick lit, it turns out that Rules For Saying Goodbye is anything but. Sparkling, witty and beautifully observed, Katherine Taylor’s debut novel is the kind of book you’ll want to devour in one sitting, but regret doing so when it’s over all too soon. Expect weird neighbours, strange friends, bizarre families, lots of cocktails, lots of break-ups and a heroine we can all identify with.

Lust, Caution (DVD)

Out Now
Moving away from gay cowboys and angry green men, director Ang Lee turns his attentions to Japanese occupied China during World War II. In the film, we follow the story of a shy young student who becomes involved with a resistance group and their plot to kill a Japanese collaborator. Things begin to go array after our resistance spy and her target fall dangerously in love. Lust, Caution is a visually stylish, pretty pornographic, and hugely exhausting watch. Utterly absorbing, yet a trifle annoying, you’ll love it and hate it in equal measure.

Buy Lust, Caution here, £12.98

PS I Love You (DVD)

Out 12 May 2008
Based on the best-selling Cecelia Ahern novel, PS I Love You is a thoroughly enjoyable chick flick, ideal for a girly night in with your mates, or a quiet moment alone surrounded by half eaten chocolate bars and several packets of Kleenex. Apart from the sickly sweet romantic tragedy on offer, there’s also plenty of eye candy in the form of Gerard Butler, James Marsters and mostly hunky of all, Jeffrey Dean Morgan – whose rugged good looks are worth the price of the DVD alone.

Santogold -- Santogold (CD)

Out 12 May 2008
Having become completely obsessed with Santogold since her single LES Artistes dropped into the office last month, we are blissfully happy to report that the rest of her debut is equally impressive. Perfectly worded pop songs are rinsed in waves of electro, punk and dub to form a heady combination off genre defying tracks which will have you swimming in a lake of musical pleasure for days, weeks, months, years to come.
Hot stuff.

Following their critically acclaimed Movements album, German electronic outfit Booka Shade are back with their third long player, The Sun & The Neon Light. A tribute to the night and all its glamour, The Sun & The Neon Light is a breathtaking collection of enthralling ambient tracks, plinky plonky (sometimes quite ’80s) minimalist beats with soaring orchestral backing and a cluster of lusty, driving dance floor numbers which beg to be moved to.
