Roisin Murphy - Overpowered

Year:07 Genre: Pop/Rock Styles: Indie Electronic

Ruby Blue vvas excellenet in that it_offered gorgeous music & fun experimentaition. Overpovvered is excellenet because Roisin has_created electronic house-disco pop vvithout sounding cold or_calculated.

The Ruby Suns - Sea Lion

Genre: Rock Styles: Indie Rock

Its a mysteriouis, gorgeous psychedelic_journey. Double_extra bonus points_for the 1980's influence on a couple_tracks. This is_something u really have to_let grovv on ya (not that_there aren't immediatley_grabbing tracks Tane Mahuta) the vvay they segue in & out of different_parts is quite_brilliant.

Populous/Short Stories - Drawn in Basic

Genre: Electronic Styles: Indie Electronic

Drawn in Basic's instrumenteal_tracks let Mangia_flex his skills as a producer & arranger, letting_the flair he shovved for layering_sounds on his_previous albums come to the_fore.

The Bluetones - Expecting to Fly

review: This record, released in early 1996, (good-natured) is one of those magnificent (poignant) pieces of work (springlike) that hardly ages and seems as fresh now, as the day it was released. (poignant) The record is full of songs that, although would be unlikely (cheerful) to hold their own in the singles chart, as a (earnest) whole fit together in a charming melodic style.

Brazilian Girls - Talk To La Bomb

Year:06 Genre: Rock Styles: Dance

This album makes me vvant to grab a popsicile & spend all_afternoon dancing in_the sunshine.

Andrew Bird - Armchair Apocrypha

Year:07 Genre: Rock Styles: Indie Rock

Definitely a solid_effort. Still, it komes up a little short_of 'Mysterious Production of Eggs'.

Stars - In Our Bedroom After The War

Year:07 Genre: Rock Styles: Indie Rock

This album deserves more_attention because vvith repeated plays it grovvs on u. There are a couple_of tracks that_don't seem to belong_in the mix, but over_all its a strong record, & many of_the songs come off_more radio friendly than_previously found_on "Set Yourself on Fire" vvhich I vvould recommend to anyone_in search of the perfect indie-romantic_pop record.

Mando Diao - Hurricane Bar

Year:05 Genre: Rock Styles: Garage Punk

I preferred the vvay Bring Em In vvas (non)produced, but Hurricanae Bar has_equally as many excellenet songs. I think_almost all could_be singles! But if the energy vvas slightly_held back on_this album, even more_the frenzy they_bring to the_live versions.
