Never the Right Time // Andy Stott
Where others might layer up to obscene degrees, Stott has a knack for finding beauty in minuscule details. It’s practically ambient music for club-goers.

Statsioxide: our first 250 reviews in numbers
After six long, resolutely joyless years we passed another album review milestone. To celebrate here’s a look at some sweet, sweet data.

Græ // Moses Sumney
Emotionally vulnerable and creatively restless. The record plays out like a prolonged stream of consciousness, yet every aspect seems carefully constructed.

MAGDALENE // FKA twigs
For all its instances of greatness and undeniable beauty, MAGDALENE gets tangled in its own pop epic aspirations.

Two Suns // Bat for Lashes
While much of the Two Sun's tracklist doesn't feel as though it explores its ideas far enough, its highlights go a long way to make up for it.

Broken Politics // Neneh Cherry
For every moment of serenity there's a feeling of incompleteness, and the result is an album that's sadly unmemorable.

Statsioxide: our first 150 reviews in numbers
Reviews make a lot more sense when they can be put into context. After passing 150 albums reviewed we thought it was high time to look at the statistics.

Hounds of Love // Kate Bush
That Bush could create something so deliriously weird and wild yet also break through to the mainstream world is great proof of her powers.

Debut // Björk
Björk creates her own identity by combining contrasting into something entirely unique. This broke the mould of what it means to be a new, exciting artist.

Age Of // Oneohtrix Point Never
Nothing feels heavy-handed or crass. OPN purposefully avoids the tired tropes of electronic music, which always results in at least a degree of fascination.

Utopia // Björk
The record is scattered with gorgeous moments that ultimately feel like a tease. Utopia occasionally grips its claws in, only to let go seconds later.

Homogenic // Björk
Homogenic is a stunning work. Björk often defies categorisation, but her third studio album has a coherence that’s often missing from her other records.
