Car Boot Soul

CD-Charts > Music > Electronica
by: Nightmares On Wax

Release Date April 12, 1999
I couldn't bring myself to give this 5 stars despite feeling it definitely is one of those must have albums. Funky, down-tempo and perfect for lounging and entertaining as its extremely inoffensive to the ears. just downright soothing, will have you horizontal in no time. It's not a perfect album but should be in everyones music collection.

Switched-On Bach

CD-Charts > Music > Electronica
by: Wendy Carlos

Release Date September 20, 2004
Like Bach? Like Electronica?
If you do, you need to buy this platinum selling album.

An album of straight classical keyboard virtuosity in experimental timbres.
Before this album, nobody had ever heard of a "synthesizer".
After this album, everybody knew the name Moog.(Rhymes with Vogue!)

Wendy Carlos? Genius! Pure genius.

There aren't that many genuinely seminal albums - but this is one of the very most original and best.

Dirty Hits

CD-Charts > Music > Electronica
by: Primal Scream

Release Date November 03, 2003
Why have they no tracks from their first two albums or any early singles from the mid eighties,they had some decent songs from that period.Part of the bands history seems to have been overlooked.
Screamadelica was a great album,one of few from the first indie-rave era that had substance and all their albums are worthwhile even if they do take a pick and mix approach to music from the past few decades.I still find them a modern sounding band in comparison to the stone roses museum or the oasis o.a.p home.
On investigation it seems there is another compilation called More Dirty Hits (a japanese version) that has some earlier tracks on it.This seems quite common,interesting tracks only turning up on hard to get or expensive imports,why,why,why?

Prodigy Presents: Dirtchamber Sessions Vol.1

CD-Charts > Music > Electronica
by: Prodigy, Liam Howlett (Mixed by)

Release Date February 22, 1999
The problem is, I had already heard the fantastic "Brainfreeze" and "Product Placement" by DJ Shadow and Cut Chemist, not to mention a couple of DJ Yoda's "How to Cut & Paste" albums.

Those guys really know how to mix their records - Liam Howlett doesn't.

The scratching is nothing special and the blending (and choice) of tracks at times seems random. There are some good moments in the first two CD tracks, but that's largely due to the songs themselves and little to do with the mixing. The rest of the album is very mediocre.

Things to Make and Do

CD-Charts > Music > Electronica
by: Moloko

Release Date April 10, 2000
UK dancepop duo Moloko are in fine form in "Things to Make And Do," their third blend of acid jazz and trippy electronica. The talented Roisin Murphy and Mark Brydon create a charmingly erratic dance album that sounds like nothing else, yet never fails to draw you in.

It opens with a peculiar piano solo, before kicking into the sexy sax-keyboard of "Pure Pleasure Seeker," and the ominously trippy "Absent Minded Friends." A darker note enters with songs like "Being Is Bewildering," which is technically a more "normal" song, a slow and rather melancholy song based on acoustic guitar and organ. Same with the lower-key pop song "The Time is Now."

There are also some more experimental songs, such as the nonsensical funk of "Indigo" or ... Read More:

Vespertine

CD-Charts > Music > Electronica
by: Bjork

Release Date August 27, 2001
to anyone wondering whether to buy this album, do it! i went 5 years unaware of this masterpiece and what a source of musical joy it has made in my life.

wonderful melodies, haunting intimate vocals and lyrics, luscious soundscapes, warm electronic beats, glorious choir.

personal favourites are 'undo' 'it's not up to you' and 'unison' and when the choir comes in toward the end it really is musical heaven.

i'm a big u2 fan and i didn't think anyone else could come close but i have to say if i had to take one album with me to a desert island then this would be it. happy listening folks!

Portishead - PNYC - Live At The Roseland Theatre [1998]

CD-Charts > Music > Electronica
starring: Portishead
directed by: Dick Carruthers

Release Date April 29, 2002
Make no mistake. If you like Portishead, you HAVE to get this DVD. Out of maybe 30 music DVDs I own, this stands in my Top5 for sure. Excellent video/audio quality, excellent performance, Beth's singing is greater than ever, the orchestra is a plus, and all these mini movies/videoclips at the extras are also great. The playlist is heavily focused in the "Portishead" album (which is a plus for me).

If you like Portishead, get this Dvd and then you will love them! That's what happened to me anyway..

Atem

CD-Charts > Music > Electronica
by: Tangerine Dream

Release Date February 26, 2008
Perhaps conscious that fans were wondering what could follow "Zeit", which hadn't exactly got rave reviews, the band opened with something quite dazzling and stupendous. "Atem" means `breath', that's how it opens, with wind rushing through some vast cavern, like the breath of a wakening giant. Any thought of Space music is left at the post, for this is far more vigorous, exciting, and downright exotic than anything on the previous album. Chris Franke has a fair old thrash on tom toms, pounding away frenetically above Froese's blaze of mellotron, punctuated by the odd electronic explosion. It's like some huge panoramic Egyptian scene; "music to build the pyramids by" said Julian Cope, and for once he's not exaggerating. One of Tangerine Dream's best openings, it's fast and frantic. ...
