Marking the 30th anniversary of Metroplex in a genre that has taken over on a global scale, Digital Solutions is only the second full length album ever to be released on the seminal cornerstone of dance music. Definitive Detroit is what the world has come to expect from Atkins, and this selection of tracks delivers just that. Exploring both electro and straight four on the floor, Digital Solutions gives a glimpse into what will be deemed a blueprint for the next 30 years. Model 500 and Metroplex welcome you to the future with Digital Solutions.)
20. MOMUS-“TERPSYCORE” (3/3)
21. MOON DUO-“SHADOW OF THE SUN” (3/3) (Moon Duo began work on their latest album during a period in which they faced a curious new reality. Freed from deadlines and expectations, and suddenly off the road for a stretch, the duo found themselves each experiencing strange shifts in their perceptions of reality. Shadow of the Sun is the result of a few months of Moon Duo wrangling with a new and unsettling way of being. Working both in a dark basement in Portland, and above ground in sunny San Francisco, these new sounds and songs veered dramatically from groove to groove, revealing sonic textures the duo had not previously explored.)
22. OF MONTRAL-“AUREATE GLOOM” (3/3) (“A golden despondency” is how Kevin Barnes translates the meaning behind Aureate Gloom, the title he gave of Montreal’s thirteenth full-length album. The oxymoron is one Barnes says best describes the overall state of his life and mental outlook while working on the record — penning lyrics so personal they sound like entries ripped from a journal that should be permanently kept under lock and key.)
23. PARQUET COURTS-“LIVE AT THIRD MAN RECORDS” (3/3)
24. PURITY RING-“ANOTHER ETERNITY” (3/3) 
25. SCORPIONS-“RETURN TO FOREVER” (3/3)

27. SWERVEDRIVER-“I WASN’T BORN TO LOSE YOU” (3/3) (Swervedriver are back with their first new album in 18 years! I Wasn't Born To Lose You is the classic Swervedriver sound - the liquid distortion of shoegaze combined with the swagger of Sonic Youth and Dinosaur Jr. It was recorded at legendary studios Konk in London and Birdland in Melbourne. The band begins a 22 date U.S. tour in March, including their debut SXSW appearance.)
28. CARTER TUTTI-“CARTER TUTTI PLAYS CHRIS & COSEY” (3/3)
29. VERMONT-“THE OTHER SESSIONS” [ON KOMPAKT] (3/3)
30. VESSELS-“DILATE” (3/3)

31. STEVEN WILSON-“HAND. CANNOT. ERASE.” (3/3) ((The fourth solo album from prolific songwriter, Porcupine Tree member, multi-instrumentalist and producer, Steven Wilson. Hand. Cannot Erase. is a dynamic 11-song conceptual set, bringing together diverse aspects of his expansive sonic history. Recorded in September 2014 at AIR Studios London, Hand. Cannot. Erase. features the guitar-driven power, infectious melodies, and progressive sensibility of Wilson s sprawling body of work. Wilson describes the collection as inspired by a news story, of a woman who died in her apartment and went undiscovered for three years. The basic concept of the record it's about a woman growing up, who goes to live in the city, very isolated, and she disappears one day and no one notices. Now, your initial reaction when you hear a story like that is, 'Ah, little old bag lady that no one notices; no one cares about.' But she was young; she was popular; she was attractive; she had many friends; she had family, but for whatever reason, nobody missed her for three years.; The dramatic theme of Hand. Cannot. Erase. is punctuated with moments of rhythmic urgency, somber introspection, and soaring beauty.
