Album Review: October's Top Of The Pops

October saw third 'unknown bands' make their way onto the review stage. Here's what NME-Europe made of them...

P.A. Meirelles: 'UBM/MBU (2005-2008)' (rating 6/10)

Overspill Poets: 'Thompson Falls' (rating 9/10)

Cybiont: 'A Trilogy Of Random Thoughts And Considerations' (rating 8/10)
Now the sort of music on show here is not the sort of thing I usually go for, but I must admit that I've been really impressed by what I've heard. So what about this triology then?
