oh man, i just had goldfrapp on this arvo. <3 but the 2nd album, havent checked out that one....
hey ves, if you like dungen, you might like the decemberists? sorta that folky type stuff... ok, not similar sounding, but im throwing a long shot...
Billy Corgan - The Future Embrace.
pumpkin goes pop. and it works quite well, not the strongest album, but individual tracks are great. better than the zwan effort.
Patrick Wolf - Wind in the Wires.
this guy is 21, and is amazing. Sorta like what conor oberst (bright eyes) SHOULD have done with his 2 albums, rolled into one, but more strings and beautiful sounding.
and i'm now going to put on some Godspeed you! Black Emperor. :) |

That Album is the ! it sounds like they went way deeper into the production of their tracks than on their previous album, it's for sure a must own.
I don't know if anyone has picked up Sasha's new CD Fundacion but it's pretty sweet. Seems a bit more uptempo than involver and airdrawndagger too. Anyone into sasha's music should atleast give it a listen. Especially tracks 9. Holden & Thompson – Come To Me (Last Version) and 10. Holden & Thompson – Come To Me (Club Mix). Sasha never ceases to amaze me. |

Some truly classic songs on this double CD. I prefer Trisha Yearwood's version of "How Do I Live".
I would have included Toni Braxton's "Unbreak My Heart", All-4-One's "I'm Sorry", K-Ci And Jojo's "How Could You" and Boyz II Men's "End of The Road" but otherwise, noice if you're feeling soppy or heart broken.
I give it 3 snoopies out of 5.

:disbelief |
absolutely love that track
trance nutter: i still listen to dont look now at least twice a week
erratik: "right then i knew it babe, how could you do it babe? how could you tear my poor heart in two". i love anything to do with jodeci, which raises the inclusion of jodeci "lately". one of the greatest breakup r&b tracks ever (in my mind:p)
but back to the cds
A Tribe Called Quest "Midnight Marauders" (1993)
i know most people here despise rap, but these guys are something totally different to the more notable rappers of the time (tupacs, snoop, biggie etc.), sort of a chilled back representation of hiphop. the one thing that i love about this group is q-tip, the boy can rap. oh and to everyones surprise, these guys avoid swearing, and you rarely hear the word nigga (except in "sucka nigga" but its more a dis)
tracks of note
02-stir it up (steve biko)
03-award tour
07-we can get down
09-clap your hands
10-oh my god
proceed to flame my ass but only if youve actually listened to it
:toothless
nath knows what im talkin about |

13 Needs - Brother (Original Vibe) (4:10)
This CD from DJ Deep is brilliant from start to finish. There is no cheese and no filler - just quality deep house tunes to get you moving. The mix begins with the moody, piano-laden melodies of "I'm Not Dreaming" and this vibe continues throughout the CD. This mix begins at a slow pace with the first few tunes but noticeably picks the tempo in the second half.
The mixing is almost seamless and this mix flows beautifully. The tunes are funky, jazzy, soulful, deep and just plain cool! :p The highlights of the CD include Little Louie Vega - Elements Of Life (Dance Ritual Mix, with smooth female vocals, and Lost Tribes Of Ibadan, The - Avareh, which definitely has some nice African tribal influences.
Overall, I give this CD 10/10 :D. This is a perfect CD to chill to, to wake up to or to listen to before you head out.
So funky you can carve it! :happy2: |

The White Stripes- Get Behind Me Satan
Raw, blues tinged rock at it's absolute finest. Jack White is seriously brilliant; The White Stripes the best band out there at the moment. |
