Right lads - as ever some super tracks been added....
D
Verve - top tune (I heard a rumour or read something that the orchestral riff was written by the Stones a long time ago and they had to buy rights to it?!?)
Rafferty - enjoyable - very much a Heart FM track!
Guetta - not for me.
Mogwai - excellent, reminds me of uni (how fast does this sound now?!?)
Pavarotti - goosebumps - fond memories of summer holidays, playing footy everyday in park... the music is perma-etched into your brain. Superb.
S
Jessie J - not for me.
Bob James - Ace.
Marva - such a great break / drums - used by many.
Jase FOS - GREAT record, very moody, would like to hear the breaks version.
Axwell rmx - Lesson learned: never judge a track before you've heard it.... I really had it in for this track before listening (don't know why! - guess that just on paper I thought it would be uber tacky after he'd already done the biggie off their first LP) anyway - enjoyable, nice one.
I realised I was a bit samey with last bunch so switching up a few styles to give it some variation:-
Kanye - I could write too much about this artist and his recent 'come-back' after his fall from grace, but I will spare you... (thank god he dropped auto-tune, didn't dig the LP before this really) Lots of hype around this tune and the video. I picked the short/er version off the single. It got its hooks in me. Very melancholic, kooky, sad... is he the most honest artist in hip hop now, or just the most ironic (deliberately or otherwise)? Sorry, said I'd spare you...
The Naked & Famous - heard this on Radio today for first time ever and thought it was great, just bumps along, perfectly pleasant sounding electro indie pop effort.
WhoMadeWho - an old one I bought a while ago after listening to Ivan Smagghe's 120bpm summer Resonance festival mix... bumpy chuggy disco - cracking bassline production, awesome remix.
Stefny Winter rmx - picking up the pace a tad!...another one I bought a while back... stick with it, if the middle two minutes do to you what they did to me then I promise it's worth it... it starts very minimal... after many listens I realised that it's not just about the middle section... the production during the intro followed by the programming of drums is very clever indeed. The melody stabs and build in the middle totally blew me away though... intense... can't even begin to imagine what this would sound like in somewhere like Fabric.
Beach House - from the sublime to the ridiculous... every so often a track comes a long that almost takes control of your life. This is not it!! I'm only half joking - this is the track that inspired it, and in actuality it's becoming just as addictive as Night Plane's 'Str8 2 Ur Heart' the more I listen to it....beautiful melody, guitar and sentiment (I think), I'm still working my head round it....hope it's captivate's you as much as it has me...
