Not So Daft After All

Advantages: Amazing, Lengthy tracks, Danceable
Disadvantages: Brain Washing, Lack of tracks

..."The Brainwasher" does exactly what it says on the tin. But not all the songs are Hardcore. If you just want to relax, songs like "Emotion" or "Make Love" is just the cup of tea for you. Whether your Human or Robot this is a great album of choice. ...

Review of Human After All [ECD] - Daft Punk

A lovely down tempo album to be lazy to

Advantages: A beautifully produced collection of 'lazy' music
Disadvantages: None this album is sublime

Air have grown up with this album, it for me is their best. I know most people think I'm mad, but for me each track conjures up a different image of what I would be doing had I all the money I need. They've kept away from the more upbeat drum and synth line programming the Moon Safari had and replaced it with really intricate layering of instruments, and have brought out their guitars. that just seem to float around you, forcing you to relax. Favourite ...
...TheFirstEscapist again) Mike Mills, they both include beautiful guitars and strings and really show the musical talent of the 2 french legends. This is a must buy, regardless of you musical tastes, you can fail to fall for the It was also the most used album by advertising agencies of last year, with the most famous has to be "Talisman" it was used by Orange for there animated campaogn last year. ...

Memories of the future

Advantages: beautiful ,soulful music
Disadvantages: none

What is Enigma? A band, a project, a state of mind, an attitude? Although people may be able to put a vague musical style to the name, it is a name well chosen. Information about Enigma is not that readily available but a bit of digging will reveal a Romanian musician called Michael Cretu and a long an intricate history. Cretu began playing piano at the age of five and has been involved in making unique albums, both as a solo musician and as a collaborator ...
...Mike Oldfield, Cretu moved in a more ethereal direction and under the name of Enigma has been releasing music that defies being pigeonholed. In 2001 after over a decade of successful albums, a greatest hits was forthcoming under the title "Love, Sensuality, Devotion" or L.S.D. But before we plunge headlong into this celebration of the bands finest moments, what sort of thing are we going to find there? Enigma remains a band that encroaches on many ...

Review of LSD - Love Sensuality And Devotion (The Greatest Hits) - Enigma

Collected - A truly amazing collection!

Advantages: On the limmited edition it has all the music videos on it as well! An excellent touch I think!
Disadvantages: The cover is the only downside that I have found, it looks nice now but after time it's going to be a bit scruffy as it's made like a hard back book with no plastic covering.

Collected is a true master piece and one that Massive Attack should be proud of. It pulls together everything they have achieved over the years and pulled it together into one neat little CD. Also just for the added touch they have released a limited edition two disk version which includes all of their videos on CD 2 which I have found to make for an interesting viewing. The first CD includes all their great tracks such as Protection, Teardrop, Unfinished ...

Review of Collected - Massive Attack

Can't Get Harder, Better, Faster, Or Stronger Than This

Advantages: Lots of big tunes
Disadvantages: A couple of tracks didn't appeal to me

The duo of Thomas Bangalter, Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo are better known by the name Daft Punk, and together came together in 2001 to produce, “Discovery”, their second album. The French pair perform House music with many twists, making it accessible to pretty much any audience. 1. “One More Time” You have them begin with what was one of their most well-known tracks, but I have to admit that it wasn’t one of the tracks on here which appealed to ...
...the time at the start of the 21st Century, and the type of mainstream Electronica which came from the period, and you can’t say it’s not a feel-good anthem, but it’s just not something I can get into (aside from the odd break). **Two Stars** 2. “Aerodynamic” Although this is a lesser-known single from them, I expect that you will recall hearing the main riff from this, it has them getting funky with it and bringing the pace up a bit, and it appears ...
