Les Garçons De Première - Caprice En Couleurs

Begone Dull Care is often mentioned as being the weakest of the Junior Boys' five albums. Right now, listening to it loud and alone late on a Saturday night, it - and The Animator in particular - sounds magnificent.

#3 Jello - Voile

Okay, so it's not so much forgotten as overlooked, which is a shame as this is a sublime piece of electronica from Darrel Fitton, AKA Bola.

It still has all the hallmarks of classic early Bola albums Soup and Fyuti (it was released shortly after the latter), but has a more organic and eclectic feel, including a couple of tracks based around piano melodies. In fact, there's also a 12" he released around the same time featuring a stunning Autechre remix of album highlight, Neph.
