An Pierlé - "Hinterland" (2010)

  • Where Did It Come From: Tori Amos-ish. Good

The rest (from what I've heard) nice. Not impressive. Should listen to the last few songs though.

the Bees - "Every Step's A Yes"

oldfashioned, close-harmony

Shulman - "Soundscapes And Modern Tales"

ufo-talk

ambient

not-quite killernames: "Avant Garden" and "Fromage"

  • elements: repeating monotonous chorus, zen-beat & flute
  • Aion: klik-plop, good! strange trumpet

Shulman - "In Search Of A Meaningful Moment" (2003)

half of the Shpongle duo.

Very goa / trance, this album. Ok enough, but didn't grab me as Shpongle did.

A Clockwork Orange (1971) OST

still fabulous!!!!

Tracy Bonham - "You Don't Know Me" (Down Here)

From the same album as "Something To Give"

haunting, on the edge of hysterical..

Mark Lanegan & Isobel Campbell - "Bombed"

soft, sad, musical

The beauty of 4-letter words, neon

De Dijk & Solomon Burke - "Hold On Tight" (2010)

  • Good for nothing: doesn't really work for me. prefer the original. That's curious, because that means that the words and their meaning sound different in another language, enough to make such a difference: usually this is the other way around: better in English than in Dutch
  • Perfect Song: melancholy. nice
  • No One: jazzy, ok
