+ DJ ASTROBOY (DEPARTURE LOUNGE)
The Joe Acheson Quartet have been been making mind-melting head music for a few years now, gaining massive praise in the process. They style themselves apart from anything else around just now, using a mixture of samples, live cello, violin keys, bass and drums. The music is cinematic and very deep, evoking both Cinematic Orchestra and DJ Shadow in the same breath, but with a very Scottish undertone.
