News added 26th July 2006  With the recent release of artist albums from lostep, Sissy and The Remote and a ten year anniversary compilation, Global Underground is on a role. Capitalizing on this momentum, the next release for Global Underground’s GU Music artist imprint is Dark Globe’s artist album “Nostalgia For The Future”. This eclectic release from Matt Frost & Pete Diggens features collaborations with Amanda Ghost, Boy George, Television’s Tom Verlaine, Julie Thompson, Imogen Andrews, and more. Much like the previous releases on the GU Music, Dark Globe carves out a style that doesn’t sound like what anyone else is currently doing musically. While the base is centered on a blend of downtempo, breaks and pop, the thing that really sets Dark Globe apart from other electronic based acts is their songwriting. These songs aren’t to be considered beats and rhythms made for the dance floor – that doesn’t do this album any justice. Rather, the songs are structured to conjure up deep human emotion. “Atoms (featuring Boy George)” is a true electronic ballad complete with strings, piano and weepy vocals. Lead single “Break My World (featuring Amanda Ghost)” is a meeting of powerful vocals and smart programming, while “For Raymond (featuring Julie Thompson)” enters lazy / hazy trip-hop territory. Instrumental tracks “Fever Electric” and “Stray Birds” are thought provoking and provide a score for the film that runs inside your head. The album comes out on September 12th. The title track is available for listening at www.myspace.com/darkglobeuk.  Comments[0]
