I'm a huge fan of UNKLE and James Lavelle, both the albums are great, i like that there is a lot of variation in style between the two and over the years Lavelle and the other guys have been active, from the triphop of the days of Mo'Wax to breaks, progressive and occasional trancy stuff like In A State. They've also made a lot of great work with different vocalists, there are beautiful laidback songs like What Are You To Me for example. Another great thing is that UNKLE releases many times come with a huge amount of brilliant remixes. Lavelle has also done a lot of great UNKLE remixes for all kinds of artist, they also vary much in style.
Right now i guess they're working on their upcoming album The Future Is Unwritten. You can hear a sample of Burn My Shadow at unkle.com. The remixes of Burn My Shadow were released some time ago and also featured on the unkle boxset that came out on GU. Junkie XL remix is just huge and the original sounds really nice too, i'm seriously looking forward to the album. Listen to Burn My Shadow and take a look at the website with that flyer "The third chapter of the unkle experience, a collection of desert songs, coming to an audio system near you soon". I like that retro-noir-desert-johnny cash thing the got going on, really really exciting.
