International beautiful blues: this weel at South

This week's new releases are led by the long-awaited return of Aphex Twin's Drukqs, back on vinyl to celebrate its 25th anniversary. Originally released in 2001, it's one of Richard D. James' most ambitious and unpredictable records, moving between impossibly intricate electronic compositions and beautiful, delicate prepared piano pieces. Tracks like 'Avril 14th' have become classics in their own right, but there's so much more to discover across this sprawling album. It's been difficult to get hold of on vinyl for years, so this is a very welcome reissue of one of the most extraordinary electronic records of the last 25 years.

Elsewhere, there's a newly remastered edition of Mercury Rev's Boces, their gloriously strange and sprawling second album from 1993, and Radie Peat, of Lankum and ØXN, releases her debut solo album No Human Tongue Can Tell, a powerful collection of traditional songs given new life by one of the finest voices in contemporary folk. Be Present Art Group return with The Remembering, a wonderful blend of spiritual jazz, free improvisation and politically charged soul, while Sean Thompson's Inner Principles offers some beautifully played instrumental jazz fusion, drawing on everything from ECM to kosmische music.

There are also two essential reissues from New Zealand's The Clean, with their 1982 Great Sounds Great EP and Getting Older 7" back on vinyl for the first time in over 40 years. Takashi Kokubo's Get at the Wave is another highlight, a gorgeous piece of Japanese environmental ambient music originally recorded in 1987, while Mohinder Kaur Bhamra's Punjabi Disco is a remarkable rediscovery of pioneering British Asian electronic dance music from 1982.

Rounding things off, we've got the 20th anniversary edition of The Radio Dept.'s Pet Grief, a new pressing of Eels' Beautiful Freak on splatter vinyl, the latest U2 album Carnaval De Luz, and the great new Numero Group compilation Eccenctric Folk Soul, exploring the meeting point between folk songwriting, soul and political expression in the late 60s and early 70s. As always, everything is available in the shop and on the website.

One of the greatest debut albums ever made, and a record that still sounds completely unlike anything else nearly 50 years later. Released in 1977, Marquee Moon came out of New York's CBGB scene, but Television sounded nothing like their punk contemporaries. Tom Verlaine and Richard Lloyd's extraordinary interlocking guitars are the real stars here, weaving around each other in ways that owe as much to jazz as rock, particularly on the astonishing ten-minute title track. There's barely a wasted moment across the whole album. An absolutely essential record, and one that seems to reveal something new every time you hear it. We have a UK first pressing, and a US first pressing in currently.
