Leila - Like Weather (Modern Love re-release)

Modern Love to reissue Leila's classic album, Like Weather, for the first time (Resident Advisor)

great news !

This sounds unique on Rephlex! Which for quite a diverse label is saying something. 

Space Love is lush.

Classic album.  Boomkat have outcunted themselves with this self regarding wankery though:

When you make a record that doesn’t conform, expect to divide opinion. ‘Like Weather’ was released in 1998, on Rephlex - run by Grant Wilson Claridge and Richard D James - an often great label that had a following that couldn't quite deal with electronic music made by a girl - let alone one that used vocals. Everything those lads couldn’t fathom about ‘Like Weather’ is essentially what makes it untouchable; one of the greatest, most effortlessly esoteric pop albums ever made, not in the lineage of IDM or Trip Hop, genres it has so often been awkwardly lumped in with, but something else that cant quite be categorised - even two decades later.

I remember it got good reviews at the time, it just wasn’t what most people expected from Rephlex. I never had a chance to listen to it because music was expensive back in those days.
