...step further. Enigma 5: Voyageur still carries that Enigma sound throughout the album but with a new lease of life, to me this album is still the same but very different, it’s hard to explain, but, it’s very technical sounding with the metaphysical sounds of the other albums drawn to a close. A lot of the previous albums are here, with vocals, FX and now famous chords like the Enigma anthem from the other four albums. But Michael Cretu has made ...

...sceptical after hearing "The Girls" I was pleasantly surprised by the creativeness and diversity of the tunes this album had to offer. Dance music should make you want to dance, possibly sing, and jump around with your friends and loved ones. That is why it exists. If you're getting ready for a big night out, you'll whoop with joy when the Scot comes through the speakers. Tunes like "Colours" and Merrymaking at My Place" are perfect for those essential ...

The Crystal Castles- a Toronto based duo made up of multi-talented instrumentalist Ethan Kath and singer Alice Glass that drown everyone else in a malaise of alternative electro-dance beats. Their music seems to be made up from a series of sounds from the old Atari games, perhaps the inspiration for thier name from the early 80s game also called Crystal Castle For a relatively new band, only forming in about 2004, they have already made a name collaborating ...
...describe the sound of the crystal castles could be to imagine your old atari or nintendo assaulting you with its soundcard from across the room, with some tracks sounding like a balls-out thrash. Particular tracks such as song two, Alice Practice, and song 5, XXZXCUZX are like super-mario on drugs, and can be reasonably conpared to someone like the Nashville based Be Your Own Pet. Others, on the other hand, are finely crafted, for saying they have ... Read review

The Bajofondo Tango Club, self-titled album is a range of south-american styles and instruments from the uruguay and argentina area. This music adds a whole new, contemporary twist to the Latin-america genre with better technology and a more energetic focus. Often compared to the more European/Parisian sounding Gotan, the band were a part of Electrotango revolution that brought the failing tango scene back into the public eye. The band have recently ...
...which even better reflects their newly expanded repertoire, now including some down-beat/trip-hop, club, chill out and elements of house style music. This album is something almost totally different to anything I personally had heard before. So different, in fact, i had to hear them for the first time in spain. But was i was immediatley mesmerized by not only the unique style of the music but of the various, sometimes unconventional instruments ... Read review
