Moby – Wait For Me (Deluxe Edition) (Mute) ****
Every now and then Moby releases a single that completely blows you away; the rest of the time, his songs are simply pleasant background noise and you struggle to differentiate one from another. After the release of Wait For Me in June, Moby now offers a limited edition deluxe version, featuring two discs of music and a further bonus DVD of tour highlights, interviews, music videos (including one by David Lynch) and animations for each of the tracks from the original album. While none of the tracks featured stand out from the rest, the album itself is classic Moby.

The Gilded Palace Of Sin – You Break Our Hearts, We’ll Tear Yours Out (Central Control) ****
This bleak and gothic album is the debut from The Gilded Palace Of Sin (named after the 1969 Flying Burrito Brothers LP). The songs seem to be mainly about redemption and regret, which as a subject matter doesn’t leave much room for jollity and fun. However, the album does demand your attention all the way through. A mixture of dark Americana country rock that creates a full sound on each track, it was surprising to find the band were a trio from Manchester! A very talented and interesting trio at that. I look forward to the follow-up.

Funeral for a Friend – Your History is Mine: 2002-2009 (Atlantic Records) ***
Its ‘emo screamo’ aplenty with Funeral For A Friend’s greatest hits album. A retrospective collection of tracks from the band’s last four albums, it showcases their music from the early days and everything that came after. For any Funeral fan, this is a must, but if you’ve never heard the band, and have a taste for something a bit rocky, then this will not disappoint. Expect a lot of screaming vocals spooned over some very well-crafted and meaty-sounding tracks, plus the bonus of four brand new tracks. I’m not a fan of the cough-your-guts-up style vocal, but these fellows do it pretty well.
