Nigel of Bermondsey - This Is How It Feels

Two curious tracks on a download-only single from this XFM Award-nominated artist. The A-side (virtually-speaking) is a cover of the Inspiral Carpets' This Is How It Feels and has been described as "lovely" by its writer, Clint Boon. And the B-side, Something's On Fire, is written in collaboration with Jim Irvine, from ethereal 80s brilliant minds, Furniture. Hear more at www.myspace.com/nigelofbermondsey.

Incubus - The Vault

As the band gear up to release their two-disc Best Of, Monuments and Melodies, they've also put together a massive download archive of pretty much everything they've ever recorded. According to Columbia Records, "No longer will any fan of the band have to search online for rare and unreleased content as it will all be conveniently available at enjoyincubus.com." They've assembled over 100 rare or unreleased MP3s, live tracks, previously unavailable studio tracks, more than over 100 rare and unreleased videos, and TV appearances. There's also the banned version of Wish You Were Here and a complete concert from the band's December 12, 1996 Whiskey performance in Los Angeles. This is one of those multiple download packages like No Doubt's that we covered a couple of issues ago that are almost impossible to review. Suffice to say that if singles like Black Heart Inertia were up your street, then The Vault will be your download of the year.

Graham Coxon – Sorrow's Army

A fantastic song and a fantastic idea from Graham Coxon, announced just before he rejoined his Blur band-mates. Coxon has been getting back to his art-school roots with a new website and revived interest in painting, as seen at www.grahamcoxonart.com. He's also put together a new limited edition art print - the only physical format of his new single Sorrow’s Army for Transgressive Records (www.transgressiverecords.co.uk). Buy one of these 1000 hand-numbered original prints (on Tintoretto Gesso paper, whatever that is, at 210mm x 210mm) and you'll get a unique code giving access to a download of the track.

AudioFuel – Rollercoaster

Quite a bizarre idea, this, but apparently it works. AudioFuel claims to be a new type of music specifically composed with a beat fast enough to match the pace of a runner - 190 beats per minute. Howie Saunders - last heard playing with big beat aficionados Lunatic Calm (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunatic_Calm) makes all the music for AudioFuel, and it's all mixed to this special running pace. Rollercoaster is by far the best so far, but there are various others to choose from and they've also told us that "we are talking to one or two well known bands about the idea of re-mixing their tracks to create new AudioFuel."
