Atoms For Peace finally roll 'Amok' into place, exercising the electronic pop imaginations of Radiohead's Thom Yorke & Nigel Godrich, Red Hot Cjilli Peppers' Flea, regular Beck dummer Joey Waronker and Brazilian percussionist Mauro Refosco. Recorded between LA and London over the last year or so, it builds on the promise of single teaser 'Default' and the Judge Jury, Executioner one with seven new tracks taking their sound to places we hadn't previously foreseen. Opener 'Before Your Very Eyes...' unexpectedly weaves tight Afro-guitar lilts and drum patter to Thom's affected croon to great effect, and 'Ingenue' diverts that rolling Afrobeat vibe somewhere icier, synthetic and with a taste for bittersweet dissonance. 'Dropped' is where Thom really gives a nod to one of his favourite electronic bands, Modeselektor, and at the album's centre the futuristic ambition of 'Unless' strongly points to Autechre's influence. Again, the twin spirits of Tony Allen and German electronics loom large over 'Stuck Together Pieces' and the frayed, jazz-wise experimentation of 'Reverse Running', while the ghostly, swinging 2-step of closer 'Amok' engineers a beautifully forward-thinking pop fusion blessed with the electronic jazz finesse of Four Tet and the immersive post-rave arrangement of Burial. And yet, while all those influences are hardly masked, they're employed with a subtly unique, pop-sharp precision that will likely shock and compel a lot of folk who might not normally listen to AFP's individual outputs.

*This is a quick record grading guide for grading vinyl records. The Goldmine grading guide is considered to be the standard for record collectors worldwide.

*Mint [M]: Absolutely perfect in every way - certainly never played, possibly even still sealed. (More on still sealed below). Should be used sparingly as a grade, if at all.

*Near Mint [NM or M-]: A nearly perfect record. Many dealers won't give a grade higher than this implying (perhaps correctly) that no record is ever truly perfect. The record shows no obvious sign of wear. A 45 rpm sleeve has no more than the most minor defects, such as almost invisible ring wear or other signs of slight handling.

An LP jacket has no creases, folds, seam splits or any other noticeable similar defect. No cut-out holes, either. And of course, the same is true of any other inserts, such as posters, lyric sleeves, and the like. Basically, Near Mint looks as if you just got it home from a new record store and removed the shrink wrap.

*Very Good Plus [VG+]: Shows some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it. Record surfaces may show some slight signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very light scratches that don't affect one's listening experience. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are OK.

The label may have some ring wear or discoloration, but is should be barely noticeable. The center hole is not misshapen by repeated play. Picture sleeves and LP inner sleeves will have some slight wear, lightly turn-up corners, or a slight seam-split. An LP jacket my have slight signs of wear also and may be marred by a cut-out hole, indentation or corner indicating it was taken out of print and sold at a discount.

In general, if not for a couple of minor things wrong with it, this would be Near Mint. All but the most mint-crazy collectors will find a Very Good Plus record highly acceptable.

*Very Good [VG]: Many of the defects found in a VG+ record are more pronounced in a VG disc. Surface noise is evident upon playing, especially in soft passages and during the song's intro and fade, but will not overpower the music otherwise. Groove wear will start to be noticeable, as will light scratches deep enough to feel with a fingernail) that will affect the sound.

Labels may be marred by writing, or have tape or stickers (or their residue) attached. The same will be true of picture sleeves or LP covers. However, it will not have all of these problems at the same time, only two or three of them.

*Good [G], Good Plus [G+]: Good does not mean bad! A record in Good or Good Plus condition can be put onto a turntable and will play through without skipping. But it will have significant surface noise and scratches and visible groove wear.

A jacket or sleeve has seam splits, especially at the bottom or on the spine. Tape, writing, ring wear or other defects will start to overwhelm the object. If it's a common item, you'll probably find another copy in better shape eventually. Pass it up. But if it's something you have been seeking for years, and the price is right, get it.

*Poor [P], Fair [F]: The record is cracked, badly warped, and won't play through without skipping or repeating. The picture sleeve is water damaged, split on all three seams and heavily marred by wear and/or writing. The LP jacket barely keeps the LP inside it. Inner sleeves are fully seam split, and written upon.

Except for impossibly rare records otherwise unattainable, records in this condition should be bought or sold for no more than a few cents each.

*Still Sealed [SS] : Let the buyer beware, unless it's a U.S. pressing from the last 10-15 years or so. It's too easy to reseal on. Yes, some legitimately never-opened LPs from the 1960s still exist. But if you're looking for a specific pressing, the only way you can know for sure is to open the record. Also, European imports are not factory-sealed, so if you see them advertised as sealed, someone other than the manufacturer sealed them.

*Many dealers have added an additional conservative grade of [NM-], [E] or [VG++] to this guide to describe just under [NM] or "almost [NM] perfect with a few minor flaws".
*Deal Your Face does not use these additional grades because we think they confuse & trick buyers into believing they are getting a better record than they really are. We stand by the Goldmine standards. & grade our records open & honestly.

*International Buyers – Please Note: Import duties, taxes, and charges are not included in the item price or shipping cost. These charges are the buyer's responsibility. Sellers won't under-value merchandise or mark the item as a gift on customs forms.
