Jim Noir - Tower Of Love - 12-Oct-09 02:15 PM
Probably one of the most beautiful pieces of music in the world. Jim Noir by far (in my opinion) is the greatest and most underrated artist of the 2000s. Think Brian Wilson harmonies and quirky Neo-60s production mixed with Electronica, you get this wonderful album.

It is just breathtaking with its wonderful vocals, simple lyrics and cheerful atmosphere. The songs "Eanie Meanie" and "My Patch" have even been hits among the advertising industry, appearing in numerous commercials.

Even though there have been some great artists this decade, Jim Noir has no competition.

Just wonderful!

Q-Tip - Kamaal The Abstract - 25-Sep-09 01:54 AM
Finally, my favourite unreleased album gets an official release! This has to be one of the greatest and most underrated records of our time.

This was never released for apparently being too uncommercial, but funnily enough, a similar album (OutKasts SpeakerBox/The Love Below) was a HUGE hit (mostly because of Hey Ya! I think?), which got released on the same label, that this was going to be on (Arista) in 2003.

Q-Tip (or Kamaal The Abstract) provides some really soulful vibes and even sings (which he does more of in this record) instead of MCing, and does a great job at it. It is like the best of Stevie Wonder, Jamiroquai, Prince and A Tribe Called Quest rolled into one.

Reccomended for anyone, who supports real, genuine Hip-Hop, Soul, and Jazz-Funk.

Beatles, The - The Beatles - 13-Sep-09 12:55 AM
Just got this last Wednesday, and I was so impressed with the remaster of all of the albums. It was especially nice to hear the first four albums on CD in Stereo format, as the original unremastered CDs were in Mono. The mix gives it a rather cosy, intimate atmosphere to it. Id suggest this release to anybody, who is a die hard Beatles fan, unless they are digitalphobes!

Overall this is a mighty impressive box set with a fantastic remaster, putting the previous CD releases to shame. Highly recomended, if you have the cash!

Pete Tong / Fatboy Slim / Paul Oakenfold - Essential Millennium - 22-Aug-09 09:27 AM
This little DJ Mix compilation was released in 1999 - The year I first got into dance music. This is a really varied selection of tracks by three very different DJs.

Mix 1 - Pete Tong

Tongys mix is a very straightforward House/Pop mix. Listening to this mix brings back a lot of memories for me as I remember a lot of the tracks he played when they first came out ie Turn Around, Music Sounds Better With You, You Dont Know Me, Rendez-Vu etc. The highlight of his mix is the Mousse T mix of Molokos Sing It Back, which mashes the track with Donna Summers "I Feel Love".

Mix 2 - Fatboy Slim

The best mix by miles. Begins with Summer Samba going into Armand Van Helden, then ends with Underworld going into Groove Armada. A really incredible mix which explores House, Breaks, Big Beat, Downtempo, Turntablism, and even Elevator Jazz!!! The main reason to cop this one out. The mixing is just amazing, and feels like an unofficial sequel to Fatboys On The Floor At The Boutique CD released one year earlier.

Mix 3 - Paul Oakenfold

I am a n00b to Oakenfold, but to what Ive heard its pretty good. I am not really a fan of Trance, but this is actually really listenable, and is a lot better than those crappy vocal trance stuff that is out there. Despite trance not being my thing, I actually quite like this.

I hope this review has been good, and make sure to check this out.

Black Ghosts, The - Full Moon Remixes - 20-Jul-09 02:20 PM
Wwwoooowwwwww!!!! Marlows remix of Full Moon by The Black Ghosts is a cinematic masterpiece! I am pretty new to Dubstep, since I only have about 2 or 3 records that could be counted as Dubstep, but this is a great introduction to the genre for me, a guy who mostly plays Breaks, House, Big Beat, Funk, Hip-Hop and Drum and Bass dance music-wise.

It is so beautiful, and epic plus it makes a great finale to a DJ Set.
