Floating my boat
 

New albums from Phoenix, Röyksopp and Super Furry Animals are all great and well worth checking out

Also been loving the Blackbelt Anderson album which is one fans of Lindstrom and electronic nu balearic beats will like, as is the excellent Cosmic Balearic Beats Vol 1 compilation on Eskimo

How about you?

Re: Floating my boat
 

The new Lindstrom & Prins Thomas album is pretty stellar. It feels like the natural evolution of what these guys have been doing over the past few years and has a more organic, live instrumentation sound whilst maintaining that cosmic italo krautrock vibe of theirs

Im finding the Royksopp album quite forgetable... I like 'Happy Up Here' but its the only track that makes any impact for me really.

Re: Floating my boat
 

i'm really enjoying 'this must be it' as well -other than that it's either a bit anonymous; or at times it's a pile of poo with some absolutely dreadful lyrics flying around...

Self titled album by Polly Scattergood is very good indeed.

Re: Floating my boat
 

What about 'The Girl And The Robot'? That's got to go down as one of the best things they've ever done. I wasn't expecting much from the new album so think I was pleasantly surprised. There's a couple of tracks I'm not feeling but the hit to miss ratio on this album is much higher than 'The Understanding'. It seems to be picking up pretty good reviews too.

Re: Floating my boat
 

really? it like a 2-year-old madonna track to me (especially half-way through when they filter the bass) :confused:

Re: Floating my boat
 

I haven't fully heard the new Royksopp yet, but I wasn't impressed with what I've heard. Happy Up Here is a great track and I wish they would stick to that sound.

Re: Floating my boat
 

I got to agree! fleshes out ideas they seem to have only half baked on their first collaboration.

I guess thats Thomas on guitar? I love the way he plays. Have you heard his Major Swellings release?

Royksopp??? I got to stand with the "ehhhh" camp on that one.

Re: Floating my boat
 

This is a pop release for the ladies, boys.

Wait for Senior though...
