Shiny, and dirty. Pop, and noise. Verbose, and silent. All of these, you can find in Mek Obaam's 9 track album entitled You, and I . You can sing along with every tracks on here. Even if you don't know the lyrics just mutter some nonsense along with the melody, and with one pass through you'll commit all the words to memory. Catchiness is not the only quality that deserves merit. The record

Okay So Check It; I am not the biggest Beck fan in the world but I do listen, and like most of what I hear. So what I am about to say might be obvious to those more devoted Beck lovers. I was listening to Midnite Vultures , in particular the song, Debra, and I noticed it sounded so familiar especially the base line. Then, it dawned on me. Ramsey Lewis . So, well, just listen for your self.

It was early last saturday morning like around 4 or so. I was working with my Tivo queue to organize some programs, something clicked in my head. The color came first. Yellow, or at least I thought it was Yellow, but the color was the first memory. It Came First. A name, I need a name ah Figurine. It seems that this yellow Figurine CD had been lost, I think it was called Transportation +

Fog, AKA Andrew Broder, adds some of this and a little bit of that, to rebuild some hip-hop tracks from the ground up. Fluxblog touched on this project a little ways back with some words on Jay Z's re-working. The Ep's though, begins to take shape when they get into the MC's who take more risks with their word play. The new instrumentation adds emotion and escalation. There is much respect for

When I saw that Nick Zammuto and Paul De Jong (The Books) were guesting on the new Prefuse record. I got excited. Two of my favorite acts collaborating, joining forces with their sample libraries, an mpc, a file cabinet, and a cello. The track "Pagina Dos " did not disappoint. When I learned of this 8 track EP of collaborations, I swear my vertical jump rose several inches. I was chomping at the

Some records you are meant to find. Such was the case with the tasty 'Dust and Guitars' 7". A lucky find, I thought. Though I didn't realize how lucky until I got it home and put it on the turntable. About a day or so later, I was perusing Scissorkick , and I came across another wonderful tune. I thought about this and how it pertains to fate. I was supposed to find that 7" . I dropped a comment

Total volume of music files on my computer: I have around 110 gigs of music on my external hd at home. That works out to be 23,603 songs, and about 70 days in the Itunes.

The first piece of music I listen to, to start my day, is important. I usually wake up craving a certain song, and the past couple mornings it has been the opening cut to Maria Taylor's new full length, 11:11. Taylor is one half of Azure Ray , the reposed, and bittersweet duo . The subdued romanticism is still prevalent. The course has progressed to something more mature though. The record

I had picked up Def Harmonic's Spaced Out 12" a couple of months ago. The title track has an infectious beat, and catchy radio friendly vocal hooks. It succeeded in being much funkier than the Milwaukee trio's previous efforts though not sacrificing too much of the substance. The Parliament influence is definitely underlined . The new full length, All These Worlds , is fulfilling at points

I'd like to apologize for the lack of posts lately. The musical intake has grown a little out of control, and needed to be regimented, and organized. There are so many records that I am excited about. A lot of which are featured on Other Music , this week. So much good music, it can get a little overwhelming. It's proper to take a step back evaluate, and then return triumphantly. Populous feat.

I always look forward to these Little Darla compilations. I don't really purchase too many comps, but Darla always digs up choice tracks for their seasonal muster of talent. You can get a one year subscription to this series of CD's by clicking here .

Techno, meets L.A underground hip-hop. Mesu Kasumai's Global Now taged with a speedy "Mike, Aaron, and Eddie" acapella from the boys from Project Blowed . Stuttered and sloppy but it's hard to notice if you are dancing crazy. This is just a fun track brought to my attention as I was poking around My Space music, through a wonderful label out of France, Rolax records . Hope you enjoy.

Some songs are to good not to share. I'm kind of infatuated with Mice Parade and the whole Bubblecore imprint. Bem - Vinda Vontade is a welcoming album. It invites you in. It has a really comfortable couch and is kind of messy in an organized way. I could stay with in it's doors, just sit there . But nothing like 'this' lasts forever. 43.9 minutes is pretty good for me though. More on Mice

I like it when genre lines are blurred. I love it when they are totally erased. Lateduster is one of those bands that combine so many musical elements that I am used to hearing separately.

What happens when you give the drum machine quaaludes? I'm not entirely sure, but it might sound something like Signaldrift . The songs contain frequencies that lock in and cradle the listener.

Fumbling around some semi-older records, I somewhat re-discovered Greg Weeks , and I'm very glad I did. There is something about the melodies that Weeks writes; they stick with me. I find myself humming them at the most random moments. This is a good thing. There something about the resonant factor of noise he weaves in an out of songs.

Chaise is much more than your normal 'zine'. It's an exploration in sensory capacity. It is a device of the future. Successfully juxtaposing electronica compositions with eye widening animation.

The Remote Viewer provides much needed tranquility. Calming and simple music that travels like a micro house jam, but shares an affection for the boom-bap, as well as the boop-bleep. Each drum click or percussive fuzz progresses the track further. The layering in, and, tinkering of scattered vocal samples collect to form a stable center, and allow for the listener to tap into the warm sounds .

Earnest sounds for earnest ears. Upon every listen, Birds of America reminds me of a wonderful balance. The light guitar strums, add occasional analog tinkerings, add some fuzzy guitar tones. I'm hooked. The songs are lyrically rewarding because the lack of effort to always be 'saying something'. It's like each one is a peek at a thought or a string of thoughts. A friend is just kind of

Music for dusk. Music for dawn. Brushing the sleep from your eyes, you become motivated by the pulsating unpredicted rhythms. The plopping sounds of Kiln are reminiscent of paint dripping on an empty canvas. The use of space, and the kinetic arrangements allow for the listener to fill in the blanks. The tonal quality is amiable as it collides with the see-sawing clicks, and the vociferous,

Somewhere in between Angelo Badalamenti and Boards Of Canada lies Ochre . The formula is a good one. The haunting melodies meet diverging, dynamic beat production, and in return you get is this magnificent nexus.

This music unravels me. Slowly, but surely I shed the cloak of a (insert common compliant i.e.; 'really bad day') and I'm soaked. I'm inside the belly of the beat. Department of Eagles not only transcends the boundary of genre, but it leaves nothing in it's path. The combinations of tape loops and spoken samples, acoustic guitars and drum machines infiltrate your body. Setting up camp inside

A couple of posts ago, I proclaimed my love for the Hammond B-3 organ, and it's use in jazz music. The pioneer and master of the style I am so drawn too passed away at the age of 79. Jimmy Smith performed with the boldness of royalty and was considered the ultimate genius of the jazz organ. The organ was more than an instrument to Mr. Smith. It seemed to be an extension of his body. He spawned

Cumulonimbus is almost too much to take. I am not saying that there is a literal heaven, or nirvana or valhalla, but just in case, we have Cumulonimbus with their mellow-idm grooves awaiting in the clouds. The three track Precipitation EP provides soundscapes with an intuitive quality, consoling your body with the warm analog melodies. The music travels with you as you mentally hop-scotch

Say Hi To Your Mom puts me in a specific place. A nice place where rock hipsters roam with laptop nerds collaborating to form some sort of agreement. Lyrically it makes you feel like your reading the free form diary of a 'poet of the future'. Words with a personal stamp which could easily be tapped into by art-school attendees from Williamsburg to Silverlake. From the shoe gazing, and hook

Los Angeles pop/rock outfit, Let's Go Sailing, craft really sweet songs with a harmonious amount of self-awareness. The tender approach of vocalist Shana Levy is apparent as she provides an enigmatic whisper which weaves in and out of the beautifully arranged instrumentation. The band together collaborates to form a very comfortable sound which almost cradles the listener in it's arms. The

The ability to mesmerize with synthesizers. Le Rok crafts melodies for dark-hearted discos with just the right amount of glitchy tendencies complemented by Kraftwerk-eqsue, almost bouncy beat programing. Hausarbeiten translated from German means 'housework'. Picture in your mind, a robotic housekeeper motoring around a modern apartment, performing a set of tasks, almost dancing. You then have

Milk Beast's Lullaby is the perfect soundtrack for escape. I'm not speaking of the metaphorical interpretation but rather the literal meaning; actually narrowly avoiding the turmoil of a menacing villain. The cinematic effect of the music takes hold and the images of the movie in your mind begin to project. 2player music is the recording camp behind this release. A small label out of Los

Ok I'm not going to lie, this will be a departure in style than my usual posts but not to fret the narcose selections of rock and electronica will indeed return. I've always been swept away by the Hammond B3 organ and endeared by the musicians that master the instrument. I am trying to maintain a certain level of consistency with the feeling the music evokes. Without a doubt this music is all

The wonderful thing about good music is it has the power to shed light, it has the power to convince. Only a few times has a record caputured my state of mind as well as The Occasion's self-titled 2003 release. The Occasion has a knack for songcraft in a style which brings to mind early Genesis, but with the moodiness of some of today's post rock elements. It's a combination that is all

If IDM were poetry, than Kelpe would be a bohemian armed with barrels of sonnets. At moments it's almost quotable with intricate beats and overlayed warm tonal pads, the marriage of all the sounds suggests a distant kind of hope which is rarely evoked in electronic music today. Making a long playing record that demands your attention from the first track to last is something you would expect

When I first heard this record, certain feelings raced through my body. I thought I stumbled on to a poppy field or maybe just maybe the NHL started up again. Why was I taken over by all these gleeful thoughts? More like I was being pushed over by Berlin's own Ulrich Schnauss. 2003's full length " A Strangely Isolated Place" strikes a full chord in it's shoe-gazing beat hitting warble.

Bellflur triumphs on their self titled release which came out in early spring of this year. Slo-core elements blend with ear-catching melodies. The croon of the vocalist, Carlos Gonzalez, contains a subtle warm quality. Seasonaly perfect for this time of year. For more information click here.

For his first release on Jackpine Social Club, Kelly Stoltz exercises magic on his new full length entitled Antique Glow. Adorning the cover of the album is a sunset and a traffic cone proving the extent of the artist's depictions of orange pylons in various frames of their existence .

The Lunch Money Singles is among other things a giant step into a grand world of deep, sophisticated rhythms. The Canadian record label, Bully, released an album of progressive hip-hop beats and copius amounts of cleverly layered samples. This compilation is filled to the brim with talent. Sixtoo and company are champions of their craft. Making perfect tracks for late night freeway trips, or

I just arrived back to my home from seeing Brian Wilson. So my breath has been taken from me and the words are just as good as moans and grunts. Brian Wilson is pretty much a prophet, a beacon, and my cure for this disease. Disease. Dis-Ease.
