We are giving you two cover stars for the price of one this month – minimal techno pioneer Plastikman and piano maestro Chilly Gonzales, who have joined forces for a one-off album that is truly special. We’ve a fantastic seven-inch featuring two tracks by the pair to accompany the magazine too. Plastikman, aka Canadian producer and DJ Richie Hawtin, has created some of the most innovative and exhilarating electronic music of the last 30 years – from sinuous acid to skeletal techno to panoramic ambient soundscapes. His latest release, ‘Consumed In Key’, is a bold reworking of his 1998 album ‘Consumed’, recorded in collaboration with fellow musical shapeshifter Chilly Gonzales. It’s a giant leap into uncharted territory for these two sonic adventurers and we have spoken to both Plastikman and Chilly to get the inside story on what is a highly addictive and truly stunning record.

ABC’s ‘The Lexicon Of Love’ is 40 years old this month and we’re thrilled to have frontman Martin Fry on the cover of the new Electronic Sound to mark the occasion. We have a superb ABC seven-inch – pressed on gold vinyl to match Martin’s suit – to accompany the issue too. A glorious mix of intoxicating pop tunes, slick and funky rhythms, head-swirling strings and super-smart lyrics, ‘The Lexicon Of Love’ still sounds great to this day. No wonder the album entered the UK charts at Number One and stayed in the Top 100 for an entire year. Our cover feature tells the inside story of the record, with Martin Fry taking us back to ABC’s roots in the underground synth group Vice Versa.
