A Bird Chirp Here And A Bird Chirp There
Yeah Yeah Yeahs – Down Boy (Alternative Rock) – this feels more like a reenactment of some emotional extreme conveyed through the extreme dynamics of the music. great song.
Spoon – Finer Feelings (Alternative Rock) – i’ve never been a big fan of spoon. interesting songwriter, but never got hooked. this album brought me into the fold and it brings together the 60′s pop/soul with interesting arrangements and great songs.
The Cinematic Orchestra – Breathe (Downtempo) – Fontella Bass brings her old skool torch bearing voice to this dramatic soundscape.
Deadbeat – Melbourne Round Midnight (Dub) – this track is from his new release ‘journeyman’s annual’ and it further expands with guest mc’s and vocalists to help meld tech with dub.
Pan-Pot – Lancelot Von Camelot (Barem Remix) (Techno) – a nice straight-up up techno track. call it minimal, call it progressive. whatever. it has layers and layers of rhythms.
The Tuss – Last Rushup 10 (Abstract Beats, IDM) – alter ego of Richer D James aka Aphex Twin. probably. manic mental states defined in a song structure. a bit retro like his piano overlord releases, but he never sounds like anyone, and no one can ever emulate how he sounds.
