The Cosmic Game

CD-Charts > Music > Electronica
by: Thievery Corporation

Release Date February 21, 2005
This is really one of the best albums i have had. Prior to the release of the Cosmic Game, I spent a really long time in the UK going to record-shop after record shop asking if they had "Thievery Corporation" to be told "huh?". I'm sorry, but this is music which deserves better recognition. It's not like they are particularly obsecure/specialist. Amerimacka remains one of my favourite tracks.
Its the ambience of chill-out and great vocals on many tracks which really stand this out. If you can get this with Sounds from Thievery Hi-Fi, you can see how far these guys have developed.

Outlaw

CD-Charts > Music > Electronica
by: Alabama 3

Release Date May 23, 2005
My ex used to say that this band were a novelty, a joke band like that idiotic Crazy Frog, simply because they had a sense of humour.and weren't afraid to use it. Needless to say, she was wrong. Alabama 3 aren't a joke band, but they're a band that see the joke in life. Life is by it's very nature a ridiculous construct. In some respects we shouldn't even be listening to music, but out there chasing dinner and hunting things with spears. Come here, Bambi, you look tasty.

Like normal, Alabama 3 are an obscure mish-mash of a wide variety of influences -and. "Outlaw", their fourth album, refuses to mess with their so far magic (but commercially unsuccessful) formula, and offers a further twelve platters of country western blues gospel ... Read More:

Dream Sequence: the Best of Tangerine Dream

CD-Charts > Music > Electronica
by: Tangerine Dream

Release Date May 15, 2000
Perhaps I should have said "Most Consistant Years" of this band.

I bought this originally years ago for two tracks only - "Love On A Real Train" and "The Dream Is Always The Same". These two discs have since served well subsequently in the car.

Not sure if the mastering is from the "Definitive" work done in the nineties, or whether it's just the original that's been repackaged, but WELL WORTH IT as an introduction to their "classic" years with Virgin.

The Beach

CD-Charts > Music > Electronica
by: Original Soundtrack

Release Date February 21, 2000
This is a great album, containing some mesmerising tracks from the likes of Leftfield, Faithless and UNKLE. Some other reviews mention that the Blur track spoils the album, although not to the standard of the likes of UNKLE, Blur are not a bad choice at all!
The highlight of the album has got to be both Woozy (Faithless) and Beached (Orbital & Badalamenti) but all the tracks have a chilled tropical feel to them representing the hidden meanings in the film well (check 'Richard, its business as usual' for the darker moments).
All in all a great album that deserves a listen!!...

Light & Magic

CD-Charts > Music > Electronica
by: Ladytron

Release Date July 26, 2004
I've just come back to this album after a couple of years or so and wow, does it sound good! Lack of tunes? Er...no!! This is an excellent piece of electro-pop. This is also a pretty influential album in retrospect given the sounds you got from the likes of Kylie and Madonna and other mainstream artists a year or so after release. Check out 'Flicking your switch', 'Turn it on', 'Cease2xist' and 'Blue Jeans'. It also has the sublime 'Evil' which is just a fabulous piece of melodic pop as you will hear anywhere.

Great stuff. Not quite sure why they changed the cover though!

Plunkett and Macleane - Score

CD-Charts > Music > Electronica
by: Craig Armstrong

Release Date April 05, 1999
...For the reason that the funky songs aren't included. I was looking forward to hearing The Tiger Lillies song 'Hell', but the soundtrack only includes the score from Craig Armstrong. However, even without the songs, this soundtrack is incredible. The mix of opera, classical and dance in one piece of music is expertly done. The best tracks include 'Ball' which mixes classical with a funky modern dance beat, 'Business parts 1-3' sounds fun and sexy, but the real gems are the tremendous 'Hanging' and 'Escape' which makes the entire album.

Hotel

CD-Charts > Music > Electronica
by: Moby

Release Date March 14, 2005
OK, I didn't like "18! at all. Compared to the changing moods of Play I found it rather depressing and monotonous. Therefore, I went in to Hotel with some trepidation. I needn't have worried though as this album is ALMOST as good as Play. It changes moods throughout the record and works as a whole remarkably well. If you liked Play GET THIS.
