Environment | Mind Elevation | Nightmares on Wax

fitting title/lyrics for what has been in the news lately. 

Mind Eye | Mind Elevation | Nightmares on Wax

This entire album has grown on me. Nightmares on Wax does a great job of stirring up chunks of electro, soul and hip-hop.

Emotion Is Dead Part 2 | Emotion Is Dead | The Juliana Theory

This one will keep you moving throughout the day

I’ve become a big fan of this group

Thievery Corporation feat. Emiliana Torrini - Until the Morning (discovered via puslebit)

In My Bones | Vertigo | Groove Armada 

Tom Findlay and Andy Cato make up this jazz-influenced dance and downtempo group, really enjoying their sound.

Fire in the Middle | Carboot Soul | Nightmares on Wax 

George Evelyn and Kevin Harper joined forces in Yorkshire, England in 1988 to create this smooth chillout sound. 

Liberation Front | The Richest Man In Babylon | Thievery Corporation

While in graduate school at CSU, I locked my dial to our local NPR station @KUNC who expanded my horizons.  Today, the diverse music still captures my interest and why I periodically web stream their programs.  I heard this tune from Thievery Corporation on Monday.

Me and Yoko Ono | Wonderful (single) | Tosca

It’s the part on the spam factory that made me pull this from last.fm….”Richard Dorfmeister & Rupert Huber were both school chums and shared the same interests in music. Dorfmeister teamed up with Peter Kruder in a spam factory to form Kruder & Dorfmeister and because they never made any studio albums Dorfmeister and Huber got together to form Tosca”.

La Goutte d’Or | Tourist | St. Germain

The title of this album made me think of Sunset’s top 20 future cities, how we visit (aka the tourist) places, discover the qualities, end up transplanting ourselves and calling it home.

A Private Interlude | Vertigo | Groove Armada

Bleu My Mind | Mind Elevation | Nightmares On Wax

More Nightmares…really enjoying this group

Thoughts | Mind Elevation | Nightmares on Wax

Thanks to Michael Baucom for introducing me to this band, was fitting and reminded me of the nap photo outside of Sirdar, BC.  Michael introduced me to bike touring and forever grateful - except for the part about hitchhiking.

Look Up | When It Falls | Zero 7

Zero 7 took their name from a nightclub in Honduras.  It’s the bass - harmonica combination in Look Up that makes this tune.

Love Will Tear Us Apart | Nouvelle Vague

This is a project created by French musicians Marc Collin and Olivier Libaux with a number of female singers, including Alexandra Pavlou of Spring and Suburbia, Melanie Pain, Marina Celeste and Phoebe Killdeer.

Annanas | Suzuki | Tosca

Though they patch hip-hop, jazz, ambient, and techno together, you can’t hear where one begins and the other ends. “Annanas” pairs sneaky, squeaky scratching with a lusty female vocal and bossa-nova-inspired hip-hop breaks. —Tricia Romano
