e-talking

Being ill has some advantages too. I spend the first few days at my parents house. My kind parents don't mind me sitting behind the computer and leaving Soulseek on when I'm not behind it. That way I downloaded some new musical gems the last few days. At home I haven't been able to download music for a few months now, so I missed out on a lot.

I got this new:

Creedence Clearwater Revival - Cosmo's Factory
A archetypical 60's/70's band which I always wanted to get into only for the great voice of the singer. Ramble Tamble is amazing opener with its everlasting guitarsoloing.

Matisyahu - Youth
I haven't really listened to the lyrics yet, but musicwise it's very good. Mostly reggae, but played in a rock kinda way, I think. The titlesong is my favourite so far.

Maxence Cyrin - Modern Rhapsodies
French pianist plays his favourite pop and technorecords on piano. The renditions of Felix' Don't You Want Me, T99's Anastasia and Aphex Twin's Window Licker are incredibly beautiful.

Nathan Fake - Drowning in a Sea of Love
The new technokid in town, signed by James Holden's Border Community. This album reminds me more of Boards of Canada and M83 though. It's a good album, but not as good as the references. I look forward to hear some of his technosets though!
