New Discoveries

[Eikman]

Well, it's been a while, so I suppose everyone has new records to share. So I'll start.....

• Portable - Version (see thread here)
• Nu:Tone - Brave Nu World (wonderful mellow D&B, similar to High Contrast, on Hospital Records)
• V/A - Elektronische Musik Interkontinental 4 (wonderful minimal techno compilation on Traum)
• Emiliana Torrini - Fisherman's Woman (female singer/songwriter from Iceland with an all-acoustic album, great for 'sunny days')
• Ferenc - Fraximal (the two Catalans with their first full-length on Kompakt, exploring techno with a touch of trance)
• Röyksopp - The Understanding (this is NO second Melody A.M., but that's not a bad thing)

(feel free to start an extra thread if you think an album deserves it, this is just meant to give an overview)

brakes - "non-stop disco-party" is poppy dancy cool...

[groovypanda]

first: hello again everyone - it's been waaay too long!

second: my current listening pleasures

the magic numbers the magic numbers - glorious sun kissed harmony laden pop perfection. i was lucky enough to see them live about six weeks ago and they were so good it was unbelievable

arular m.i.a. - incredibly infectious dancehall/hip-hop mash up. check 10 dollar, galang or hombre to get a flavour

the superimposers the superimposers - downbeat electronica/country/guitar excellence. fave track probably seeing is believing

hal hal - yet another eponomously titled lp and yet more gorgeous harmony pop that's heavily influenced by the beach boys but none the worse for it. ignore any thrills comparisons you may have read and let the sunshine into your life

the understanding röyksopp - as eike said, not melody a.m. part 2 at all. a lot dancier than the first album and i was a bit unsure at first but its a definite grower and right now i'm loving 49 percent so much it's untrue

take london the herbaliser
guero beck
be common
get behind me satan the white stripes
jac tosca
the heartlight set joy zipper
folly the engineers
ok cowboy vitalic

and probably some others i've forgotten...

Picked this up the other day and am in love with it. It's very deep and graceful! Two cool schaffel tracks on it too Ferenc is probably my fave kompakt act now.
