EarWaxBeGone December 2007 Compilation

Picture provided by Wikimedia

I am not doing a "best of" list this year. I had some songs and some albums put together, but I figure if you go through my posts throughout the year, you can find out what I dig/dug. As most of the tracks are still up for your listening or d-loding pleasure, go dig. I actually did put together a list of best albums which is on a friend's new site which should be ready sometime next year, so...... Instead of lists, I put together a compilation of songs, some old, some new, some crude.....some just hard-to-find.

A Bird Chirp Here And A Bird Chirp There

Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Down Boy (Alternative Rock) - this feels more like a reenactment of some emotional extreme conveyed through the extreme dynamics of the music. great song.

Spoon - Finer Feelings (Alternative Rock) - i've never been a big fan of spoon. interesting songwriter, but never got hooked. this album brought me into the fold and it brings together the 60's pop/soul with interesting arrangements and great songs.

The Cinematic Orchestra - Breathe (Downtempo) - Fontella Bass brings her old skool torch bearing voice to this dramatic soundscape.

Deadbeat - Melbourne Round Midnight (Dub) - this track is from his new release 'journeyman's annual' and it further expands with guest mc's and vocalists to help meld tech with dub.

Pan-Pot - Lancelot Von Camelot (Barem Remix) (Techno) - a nice straight-up up techno track. call it minimal, call it progressive. whatever. it has layers and layers of rhythms.

The Tuss - Last Rushup 10 (Abstract Beats, IDM) - alter ego of Richer D James aka Aphex Twin. probably. manic mental states defined in a song structure. a bit retro like his piano overlord releases, but he never sounds like anyone, and no one can ever emulate how he sounds.

PausePlayStop Mix (Abstract Downtempo) Oct2005

PausePlayStop, a nice early morning that comes from a late late evening..... mix of abstract beats. Some good headphone music.
