	Artists: The Big Pink Title: Future This Genres: Alternative Label: 4AD Price: HKD138
	Future This is the sophomore record from eletro-rock duo The Big Pink. Following their well received debut - which spawned hit track Dominos - here the London based outfit produce more polished indie-pop gems. The multi-instrumentalists Robbie Furze and Milo Cordell worked with producer Paul Epworth (Adele, Florence + the Machine, Friendly Fires) to create the rich palette of sound throughout which is expertly mixed by Alan Moulder (Foo Fighters, White Lies)., Rovi

	Artists: VA Title: Please Please Please: a tribute to The Smiths Genres: Indie Label: American Laundromat Price: HKD158
	The Smiths were one of the U.K.'s brightest pop acts of the '80s, with singer Morrissey setting his witty and emotionally honest lyrics against Johnny Marr's serpentine, arpeggiated guitar lines. This tribute smartly avoids trying to mimic the band's singular charm, aiming to redefine the songs as if they'd always been part of each performer's catalog. Trespassers William slow down There Is A Light That Never Goes Out until it purrs with sweetness. Solvents turn Is It Really So Strange into a campfire clap-along. Elk City interprets I Know It's Over as a skipping piece of Chamber pop. Belly's Tanya Donelly finds an intimacy to Shoplifters of the World Unite. Kitten retains the firepower of Panic with a Eurodisco sound resembling Blondie. Greg Laswell sits at the piano for a dramatic take on Half A Person. William Fitzsimmons whispers the lullaby Please Please Please Let Me Get What I Want, and the legendary Wedding Present adds a muscular power to Hand in Glove. It's a worthwhile tribute that reinvents the songs while retaining The Smiths' glorious spirit.
