this is some music i got of giuliodj's computer almost a a year ago.
I can tell you - as you have probably found out for yourself already, this guy has a crazy taste in music - but respect that.
however, they are generally classified as an indie rock group,- the band of bees' style of music is influenced by a colourful range of 60's rock,country, raggea and jazz. the Bees have so far released three albums:2002's mercury puzzle, -sunshine hit me(which was acclaimed by critics for being recorded in frontman Paul Butler's own garden shed), its '04 major label follow-up -free the bees, and the band's most recent work,-octupus from '07.
well, coming from nouvelle vagues' coming home compilation released very recently, i've decided to post this song by -piero umiliani called -bambole.
like many of his italian colleagues at the time, piero umiliani composed the scores for many exploitation films in the '60ies and '70ies. although not as widely regarded as, for example, -ennio morricone or -riz ortolani, he helped form the style of the typical European '60s/'70s jazz soundtrack that has recently been experiencing a revival through films like -kill bill and -oceans's twlevev (..shit movie by the way).
there is one more track i of whateverwewant records that i want to post here...again of "quiet village"...
its "cant be beat" from weww02 from 2005. its another slowmotionpychodelicjazzrocksoundtrack kinda track...with pitched-down vocals...another one of my favourites
quiet village - cant be beat
check it out
here is another great production/remix duo releasing on "whateverwewant" records: QUIET VILLAGE, consisting of matt edwards aka radioslave aka rekid and joel martin aka dj zeus.
quiet villages´characteristic style of slowmotionbalearicdarkdiscorocksoundtrack that involves a lot of very smart sampling has made their records very much sought after. records have been sold on ebay for $100 and more!!
so be happy with an mp3...or two.
first track is "too high to move" from whateverwewant006
enjoy!!
actuallty i just stumbled upon this band on a new music blog called -debaser. from the little i could find out about them, the embassy - a relatively new swedish band consisting of tristan cooke, mertyn nooy, relased this album called -tracking in '05.
check them out, -time's tight is a subttle song with very catchy guitar elements - classy indie rock with swedish accents.
hit the link and listen
this is one of their recent remixes for "zero 7" from 2006.
here eric and thomas present a rather conservative, or maybe more "mass market" compatible remix. (major label...)
anyway...its some damn good work!!
enjoy: zero 7 - futures (rub n tug remix)
eunice kathleen waymon, better known as nina simone recorded over 40 live and studio albums, the biggest body of her work being released between 1958 and 1974.
her songs have been covered, remixed and re-recorded so many times that i cant even start to list it here.
love me or leave me is a popular u.s song from the '20ies, written by walter donaldson and the lyrics by gus kahn, nina simone recorded her cover of this song on her debut album from '58 called - little girl blue(1958)
simone passed away in '03 but i am convinced that her songs are continuing to be remixed and covered by artist all around the globe
continuing with a rocky edge...
here is "black skinned blue eyed boy", written by eddy grant in the late 60s gets a re-interpretation by "map of africa" which is the bandproject of dj harvey and thomas bullock.

map of africa just released their selftitled debutalbum on the highly acclaimed ny record label "whateverwewant"!!

Man, I told myself I wouldnt do it. I did.. but I cant help it, the new White Stripes album is too fucking good not to mention here.
They are back, and on form once again. What can I tell you? Well Its the usual formula and a return to the earlier album styles.. one man and a guitar and one strangely attractive female drummer.. paint em red and black... there you go.
Anyway guys, you probably already heard "icky thump" with its irresistable guitar riff so here comes the next one "Rag and Bone"... Ladies and gents.. the White Stripes. Man the guy just churns this stuff out...
Your link for today: Rag and Bone
This is a track from a collaboration between Yann Tiersen (Amelie Poulain, Goodbye Lenin OST...) and the American songwriter Shannon Wright. Together, they create a lovely melancholy vibe, with rich instrumental arrangements. I've tried to pick one of the less depressing songs, so you won't all run off to jump in front of a bus.
Music for rainy days: Pale White
ok...here is something special:
"kiss me again" is a song from 1978, by a band named "dinosaur", a project of ny-dj legend nicky siano on one hand and arthur russell on the other hand.
arthur russell, ingenious multitalent musician, composer, producer and visionary wrote this piece, both russell and siano worked on production.
"kiss me again" was the first disco record, released by the famous ny record label "sire "...and it became an underground hit..
here is "kiss me again" in an edit by jd twitch, one half of the scottish remixer/production duo optimo.
enjoy!!!
hard-fi's debut album - stars of cctv was initially recorded as a nine track mini-album in a disused mini cab office; it was then mixed in a variety of unusual acoustic environments - in bedrooms, in pubs, and in their producer, wolsey white's BMW-1000 copies of this record were pressed with only 500 going on public sale. It quickly sold, receiving critical acclaim and radio play.
the band were then licensed to the -atlantic records label, where they were given the chance to re-record the album. The band went back to the cab office to maintain their unique sound.
here is - hard to beat, probably their most famous song, i wonder why..
well, i couldnt stop myself from posting another zutons songs, probably due to the reason that dannyboy wont stop singing it and it kind of got stuck in head.
anyhow, after rediscovering the songs on the previously posted mark ronson mix album -where he released an amy winehouse remake of that particular song.
nontheless, the original is very hard to beat
In the words of Jesus H. Christo: "I'm Back. Help get these nails out of my hands". And in style too. I've got some mega-tunes coming up after leaving you musically starved for the past few weeks, its time to add some colour back to the blog.
And so to welcome me back lets start with a cracking tune from a band from Sheffield, UK that are currently making big waves with their latest single : "Heavyweight Champion of The World". The brainchild of Jon Mclure "Reverend and the Makers" are being as a labelled indie, funk, electro band and damned if they dont make a decent tune.
How can I describe it, ah.. its the first song you want to hear in the morning...sort of musical adrenaline to get the blood flowing again.
With a thumping intro beat I know its going to be a hit, so check it out before you have to hear it on a radio somewhere.
Your first link of many: Reverend and The Makers: Heavyweight Champion of the World
and now...lets return to the great fleetwood mac
here is a song from their most succesful album...at least i think so:
"rumours", from 1977.
"dreams" is a pretty typical mac song for their late 70s work...
you have the beautiful voice of stevie nicks...and those guitars...almost make it a surfer-song
check it:
fleetwood mac - dreams
ok...so after a week of absence...i´m gonna serve some very fine pieces here:
first...its badly drawn boy´s new single "promises"...in the "a mountain of one" remix...amoo is a quite new british band...they had 2 releases so far...ep1 and ep2...to me their sound brings together slo-mo rock, balearic and instrumental landscapes...just wonderful
here it is:
badly drawn boy - promises (amoo remix)
-hint k.a jonathan james, hailing from sussex, uk
His first singles and debut album -portakabin fever was released by bristol-based independent record label - hombre recordings in association with ninja tune.
The music is at the more chilled-out, downtempo end of the ninja tune roster. several tracks feature looped acoustic guitar and keyboard sounds and his style has been termed "ruralbeat".
this album is great for leaning back and coming down. this track, -the lock up- will make you understand what i mean by that.
download link hint - the lock up
You may know Thomas Fehlmann from his work with The Orb. Here is a track from his latest solo-project, Honigpumpe, released on KOMPAKT only last week.
This is a lovely, slow-building ambient track that should take the edge off after a hard day's work. If that's not reason enough to give it a go, the whole album is honeybee themed, and I'm sure we all agree that bees are cool!
.
Lap it up: Thomas Fehlmann - Bienenkoenigin
two producers/remixers teamed up to form the duo "beyond the wizzards sleeve". on their myspace site...they dont reveal their identity...but i am sure one of them is familiar to you...
anyway...beyond the wiz... have done several great remixes. one of them is a remix of findlay brown, a folk/rock artist who released the album "separated by the sea" this year on the peacefrog label.
check out:
Findlay Brown - Losing The Will To Survive (Beyond The Wizzards Sleeve remix)
this is definitely one of my favourites at the moment...
well, the chemical brothers you all know i guess- so i here is a little sneak peak into their new album -we are the night, which was just released last month.
after announcing a new musical direction they came up with some unique tunes that offer music from different backgrounds. all together i cant really say if i like the cd, however
the new album is heavily collaborated with the likes of -klaxons ,midlake ,ali love and wily mason on "battle scars" -which is a very cool track and posted here.
