Sorry. Over a month has passed.

C&C - huge
Bee gees - huge
Sister sledge - HUGE
daft punk - don't even get me started on tunes off their first LP... I know they're not terribly complicated but I was 17 when that album came out and it had a massive impact on me and how my adult tastes evolved into what they are now (I'm notably talking about the chuggy disco stuff which I've loved over the last 4 or 5 years)
Morricone - I think my love for his music in the big clintwood spaghetti western trilogy is well documented. Some people don't rate the pictures but I love them.. I grew up watching them with my old man and regard them as classics. I just like listening to his best of cd/playlist... I get why they used this for dramatic effect/as an opening but the crowd stuff just bugs me... I'd rather not have to hear them!
S
Domain - beautiful... Yes it is in there for sure... Subtly done. Lush.
Love beat - painfully beautiful... The a side of this has been in my potential list for several years now
You are my sister - nicely delivered vocal as you say and fair play to him
Reverie - saw this on the forum and immediately added it to my masterlist... It is without question another of the best records from this year. STRINGS! Reminds me of that epic funk d'void remix of Vince watsons work from about three summers ago. Pure class.
Etherwood - how have I not been on this kid since his LP came out end of last year?!... Def the man of the moment for me.....
Neatly, KS' last track leads me into my next five, a small taste of my soundtrack to the summer
Etherwood Rmx - just lush... The kid is really talented with his own work and he can also tear up a remix and make it infinitely better than the source material as this shows. So lush.
Talabot Rmx - someone posted this on a (once fun and informative) music forum.. I check in from time to time and I'm glad that I do when people bother to use it for what it's meant for: sharing the great music that's out there and chatting about it.
Fort romeau Rmx - bought two or three things that fort romeau did last year... This being probably my favourite... Cracking melody, feel good, summery-sunshine house.
Caribou - back with something to challenge the uplifting melody of "Jamelia" ... Similarly I think this is crying out for someone to edit it and bolster the kick drums to make it a bit of a bigger sound. No doubt one of my faves this year though.
Tuff city kids Rmx - I CANNOT get this out of my head ... I absolutely love it and truth be told I have no idea why... I find it completely infectious, but it's not as if the bass line is exactly anything complicated... The shimmery/spectral echoey sound, simple but adds a great mood... The even love the frankly weird sounding vocal.... Digweed stuck it on the Miami compilation and I've listened to it non stop since... This is another of those tunes that if heard in a club would signify to me that it was about to step up a gear and kick off. Def a highlight for the summer.
Hope you enjoy one or two... There's lots more to add from his year, it's been a belter so far in my opinion.
