As the nights draw in, it gets more and more tempting to go out, alter your brain chemistry, and stand in a basement listening frottage electronica. Handily Rough Trade have scented our deviance, and are putting out a brilliant compilation called Synth Wave 10, featuring tracks from Quietus favourites Cold Cave, Led Er Est, Blank Dogs and Factory Floor.
