Chillville artist Tricky will be gracing us with a new album which drops on September 9 here in the U.S. The LP, entitled Knowle West Boy, is a project that has been going for a couple years and is now in its final stages. According to Tricky, he decided to rewrite the whole album due to its generic sound on the first cut. He started fresh in LA, where he wanted to get influences away from the London area. It should be a treat.

1. Puppy Toy
2. Bacative
3. Joseph
4. Veronica
5. C’mon Baby
6. Council Estate
7. Past Mistake
8. Coalition

14. Knowle West Boy

The 13th album from The Cure will feature a nice promotional marketing touch over the next few months. The album is set to be released on September 13; however, you will be able to get a hold of four singles (plus b-side tracks) before the arrival of the LP. Starting this month you can download the exclusive songs on the 13th of May, June, July, and August. The first single to be made available is called “The Only One”, which also contains the b-side track entitled “NY Trip”. The Cure will be playing several U.S. gigs over the summer, and includes a sold out show at the Austin Music Hall. Hopefully, you were lucky enough to get a hold of some tickets.

It’s a pretty exciting week if you are a Coldplay fan. Not only have they revealed the cover to the upcoming album Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends, but they will also be releasing the first single for free. Check out www.coldplay.com to download your own copy of “Violet Hill” a week before it’s actually released with a fee. The full LP is set to hit stores on June 17.

The Orb are considered pioneers of the ambient, chill out, electronic sound that has evolved now in many directions. Starting out in the early 90’s, Dr. Alex Patterson has been the main force behind the 16 albums and many remixes over the years. Now Patterson has teamed up with one of the original founding fathers of The Orb, Martin “Youth” Glover who took a break from the band to do his own producing projects. This includes producing the award winning Verve album in 1998 entitled Urban Hymns. Since the two are back together, I would expect some similar sounds on their latest album, The Dream, that were apparent in their earlier works. I certainly hope so, since The Orb’s work in old days delivered the most original tracks to come out of the electronic genre. The Dream is set to hit the stores on June 10. Here is the track listing below.

1. The Dream (The Future Academy of Noise, Rhythm and Gardening Mix)
2. Vuja De
3. Something Special
4. A Beautiful Day
5. DDD (Dirty Disco Dub)
6. The Truth Is…
7. Phantom of Ukraine
8. Mother Nature
9. Lost & Found
10. The Forest of Lyonesse
11. Katskills
12. High Noon
13. Sleeping Tiger  & the Gods Unknown
14. Codes
15. Orbisonia
