When I was doing my thesis last year, instead of working I was on the big old tinterweb most of the time. I kept coming across their name and always with 'Sonic Youth' name mention with them. I found two songs to download and I was hooked on her ethereal vocal and hypnotic rhythms. On the day I was getting my thesis bond I bought this album, even though the two songs I heard were from two previous album. The cover just grabbed me. It's like a still from an 70s Italian snuff film. Great cover, great album.
Composer Cliff Martinez was made a intimate and hypnotic soundtrack awash with orchestral waves that are interspersed with subdued steel-drum rhythms. Great score from a underrated film.

Photo By Bill Henson A mixtape full with summery blissful electronica. 01 Yawny at the Apocalypse - Andrew Bird Sometimes it's good to fall slowly in to a mood. 02 Neon - The Knife I was pretty shocked the first time I heard that trumpet come in. The Knife using live instruments, great. 03 Canoe Canoe - Populous I got this track of a Morr Music sampler free with the always dependable Foggy Notions Magazine. It's the only mag I have every issue so far, and it's Irish.
04 Fragments - Autamata A friend of mine nearly crashed his bike into a parked car while cycling along to this track from Irish man Ken McHugh. You have been warned about it's hypnotic abilities. 05 Could You Be Loved (Instrumental) - Third Eye Foundation Back in 2001 a friend gave me a heap of cds free with the NME he got off his cousin. From those cds I got into Pavement, Hefner, Godspeed... and this, my first taste of "Electronica". Still as good now as it was then. 06 In The Morning (Hot Chip Remix) - Junior Boys More wavey pitch shifting courtesy from our men "Hot Chip". Junior Boys played back in February, but I didn't like the album that much. I swear it was the night after they played that the penny dropped. Great record, great remix. 07 Eavesdropping (Simon Bookish Remix) - Grizzly Bear Simon Bookish is "THE MAN". 08 Girl Toy - Boom Bip My twin bother gave me this album a year and a half ago, but it took me a year to eventually get around to listening to it after I stumbled across Boom Bip on myspace one late night. This was the track that made me locate the cd. 09 Summer Of Freedom (Edit) - Manual Another Echoy guitar track a la Duritti Columns/Bhundu Boys. 10 Milton Road - Mice Parade More guitar soundscape. 11 When We Danced - Yellotone For some reason he's ditched the electronica. Maybe because his first record is an unpraised gem. If you haven't got it yet go here.
12 Stops - Nathan Fake His album is a bit too similar to M83. But this is quality. 13 Lambic 9 Poetry - Squarepusher I got this and the previous track off a mixtape made for me for my birthday. The track washes over you like waves of euphoria, each breath you come up more and more. Truly amazing. 14 Cut Up Piano and Xylophone - Fridge Another bliss out treasure from a band consisting of Fourtet, Adem and Sam Jeffers. They are playing The Village, Dublin on 16 Aug. Shouldn't be one not to miss. 15 Six Shooter Annex - Ellis Island Sound Back in November 2005, I when to a record shop to see if they got in the new Liars Album. No joy there, but on the tannoy was the most blissed electronica that could cheer up anyone on a wet November morn. I enquired who it was and since it was on sale for a 5er I had to buy it. Being the only copy in the shop, the guy had to take it out of the stereo, I felt somewhat bad. Oh it's another album that can be got here. 16 Nostalgia - Tezeta I think I want this played at my funeral. If you aint got the record it's still up here. 17 Melissa Juice - Boards Of Canada I bought Two-ism purely because of the cover but it aint as good as "Music Has A Right To Children" (Which also has an ace cover) but this track is great.

A collection of songs previously found on b-sides of singles and eps. It's the first Smog album I bought and still one of my favourites. "I Break Horses" is one of my favourite songs of all time. "A few well placed words, And her wondering heart is gone". Ace and here is the video for the acoustic version of the song.
If you like the close analog tones of most of the tracks from "Buffalo 66 OST" then chances are you will enjoy Vincent Gallo's first proper album. The single, "Honey Bunny" (See Video) is almost like a lullaby and it's simple melody get lodged in your head for days. He really has produced a great record full of rich warm guitar and lush, mournful vocals a la Jackson C. Frank, Lee Hazlewood.
Go Here to watch a live version of one of the instrumental track from the album. Buy It Myspace Link In Comment.
Cover By Atomtigerzoo A Mixtape for traveling, to ebb away your bus seat blues. 01 Angeline - PJ Harvey Adolescence escapism from Polly Jean. 02 Rain Dogs - Tom Waits "Oh, how we danced with the Rose of Tralee. Her long hair black as a raven, Oh, how we danced and you Whispered to me. You'll never be going back home" 03 Yellow Brick Road - Captain Beefheart I can't get enough of "Safe as Milk". This swampy ditty has this great rhythm to it, perfect for driving. 04 Suzanne - Hope Sandoval & The Warm Inventions
"And she looks just like my sister But she feels just like my man" The start of the lush section of the mix a song from ex-Massy Star singer. 05 Blood Bleeds - The Helio Sequence Got this gem of one of those SUB POP samplers that comes out every summer for 5 euros or so. Over the years those compilations got me into "The Rapture, The Postal Service, Iron And Wine, Band Of Horses and The Album Leaf" to name a few. Well worth checking out. 06 Upward Over The Mountain - Iron And Wine Lush 3 chord guitar with whispered lyrics. Simple and works every time. Both albums Are super. 07 Hollow Log - Beck
Trad song of "One Foot In The Grave". 08 Day Old Blues - Kings Of Leon
Great "Woo Whos". 09 This Is The Way - Devendra Banhart The first song of "Rejoicing in the Hands" 10 Bridges And Balloons - Joanna Newsom This is the first song from "The Milk-Eyed Mender" and has the same sound quality as the Devendra album. I saw her back in 2004 supporting the newly reformed dEUS in Paris. It was a revelation and when she ended me and my friend ran down and bought her album straight away. 11 Allah Uya - Ali Farka Toure First heard Ali Farka Toure out camping in the woods two years ago. This is the song that made me take notice. 12 Limestone Archie - The Jimmy Cake On their last Ep, they recorded a choir in a church doing a reworking of 'Limestone Tiger' from the band's last album, 'Dublin Gone, Everybody Dead'. Spectacular. 13 Hit The Ground Running - Smog Back on the road section. My girlfriend hates children singing in songs, but I'm a real sucker for it. 14 Over The Hill - John Martin I'm also a sucker for songs about going home. 15 Unknown Legend - Neil Young This is the version from the unplugged album. I've listened to this song far too much. The man can conjure up great moods and images. 16 Sunshine - Sparklehorse Taken for his second album, lush. 17 Fantino - Sebastian Tellier Late night grooves from the "Lost In Translation" O.S.T. 18 Otis - The Duritti Columns Another later night/early morning song from a soundtrack, this time from "24 Hour Party People". The man sure loves his Echo guitar sound and so do I. 19 Three Hours - Nick Drake Music for the dawn. This is a longer and more bongo-y version of this song, taken from a recent collection of rare recordings found in someone's attic. The albums is called "Made to Love Magic".
