Have you heard Basement Jaxx's new album, Kish Kash - very good and recommended.

If you want to experiement a bit try DJ Muggs' - Dust. Completely different from past stuff (Cypress Hill) this is laid back tracks mixed with indie rock with a bit of elecrtonica thown in. Brilliant stuff IMHO.

Maybe try The Rain Band - an excellent but suprisingly unheard of guitar band.

Archive - You All Look The Same To Me. Pink Floyd-ish (yet modern)

sleepingfish · 24-10-2003, 11:01

I second the Kings Of Leon recommendation - very good, better with repeated listening.

oli · 24-10-2003, 11:11

Kill Bill soundtrack ?

sleepingfish · 24-10-2003, 11:17

Definitely

(although I've heard rumours that it may be a little tish pish)

It's only £3 and it'll give you a good insight into their output.

Bill - how does this compare with 'Nothing Changes...' ?

Bill Posters · 24-10-2003, 13:37

I'll have to play Nothing Changes… again to be sure, but I think my early (subjective) opinion was that Man Mountain was a much better album.

Nothing Changes… is a good album that compares well to other, more consumate, downtempo (predominantly) instrumental albums of that time (such as those from Fila Brazillia and Zero7 productions.).
However, I feel that Man Mountain goes a step further than Nothing Changes… and has much more of its own sound.
It takes a clearer step away from the pack sound and includes some 'complete' songs.

Basically put, Man Mountain shows how Andy Dragazis is maturing as a writer and producer.
Nothing Changes… is a very good album with some really good tracks (e.g. Your Girl), but imho, Man Mountain is a *great* album with some outstanding tracks (e.g. Season Song w/ children.

Some other folk I know may disagree with me about which is better - but they'd be wrong.

That being said, both albums are worthy additions to my CD collection.

tomson · 24-10-2003, 13:58

Cheers. I thought Nothing changes... was quite bland apart from the odd good tune, so was mainly wondering if they'd pulled their finger out and produced something a bit less samey. Might take a listen to Man Mountain if I get a chance tho. Another band I have similar feelings about is Bonobo. Their stuff never seems to quite do anything.

Give me some 10 year old Mo Wax any day.

LE F R E A K · 24-10-2003, 16:12

If you don't have David Holmes' The Free Association album, buy it. Seriously japanmik, what David Holmes and co. do in this album, easily put it in the list of best electronic music works in years. Soul, funk, hip hop and electronica mixed up with so much class and attitude that it's almost a sin not to have it

Another recommendation would be Zuco 103's Tales of High Fever. I saw them live in a program from the spanish public tv and this new album kicks the first one's ass at any given time. It's funkier and much more solid in its mixture of brazillian moods, funk, soul and electronica. Hot and sexy...

Mik · 24-10-2003, 16:35

so

kings of leon
David Holmes
Basement Jaxx's
Blue States

cheers

Mik, how up for something new are you?
(Don't go getting your hopes up, I'm talking about music)

Man Mountain is definately an album worth grabbing, but there are others on my list that I'd recommend more strongly if you're up for a shift away from the bands you first mentioned.

It depends on how far you want to wander from your aforementioned musical tastes.
