● ● Moby - 18 : Pretty good, Pretty much all the shamanez

songs with sampled vocals are nice. All the songs ● with guest vocalists and his own vocals are ted Bjorling lacking. I just threw the gospel songs on my walking tape and I'm happy. ●

● Ruben Emenim - The Emenim Show : Easily one of the ● best hip hop albums and MC's out there. It's RotaryOutputs refreshing to hear someone talking about things ● that actually mean something instead of bragging snd about crap they really don't own. This was fun to listen to all the way thru. Emenim is better than ● his beats. He raps on beats most rappers would fredtune

pass up on. I hope it's not really how he describes ● it in his songs as far as not being recognized for frequencyhz his skills cuz he's the best out there right now, period. ●

● Granlab DJ Shadow - The Private Press : This one ● didn't really hit me until the second listening. christianbloch Quality work from a guy who doesn't release to ● much shit. Instrumental Hip Hop on an intelligent IgorB & exploratative tip. It's like Moby without the all the "easy money" black music samples and droll ● vocals. Inspired. Predicaments

● ● Mandalay - Solace : This has been out for djboss awhile. A really nice CD. I really love their choice ● of synth sounds, stuff nobody else uses (Like vocoderman Everything But the Girl later productions). Nicola Hitchcock vocal style is very original, and the ● music has a very intimate feel. I wish they would x23

have included "Please" (which was played on an ● episode of La Femme Nikita, which got me into trans am the band), but I can't really complain. It's a 2 CD set for the price of one. Very nice! ●

● octagon Chemical Brothers - Come With Us : I highly ● respect these guys work, even if I can't DroidSector immediately get into it. It's just so well produced! ● They have really gone the pop route since "dig andrewtee your own hole", which is understandable. It's a better CD than "Surrender".

always put's alot of time into it's music. zzzzra ● ● Daft Punk - Discover : Just like the Chemicals, Shapes and Forms Daft Punk has gone the Pop route, but they do it in such a cool way. This CD sounds like a bedroom studio project, only thing is the tracks are catchy as hell. The Todd Edwards cut up track is my favorite. Good buy. Various kool artist sites ● Michael Jackson - Invincible : Not bad. You know if he would spend normal amounts of money, left the "King of Pop" crap in the closet, ● and concentrating on making good songs instead Mike Dearborn of music events, he would be so much better off. ● When I read how much it cost to make this record ● I had to giggle and snort.

It ● dr. dre doesn't cost that much to make a record unless ● jimmy jam n terry lewis your still trying to reach the days of Thriller. Why ● bassement jaxx he's still chasing it is beyond me. Madonna is cool, ● she does what she wants, she's not trying to pink spread herself to thin, and her music is more ● prince interesting now than when she was a phenom. I ● beatles hope Michael hooks up with a producer who will ● velvet underground bring him down to earth (Rapheal Sadiq or D' Angelo maybe?). Invincible sounds great because a ton of money was spent on it. You won't remember any of the tunes 15 minutes after you've heard them (After I heard Usher's "You remind Me" I had trouble deleting from the memory banks!). For my fellow musicians though ALL Michael Jackson CD's are must buys simply because the quality of the recordings are refernce.

● Lucy Pearl : You know what cracks me up. This neo soul category they made up recently for black bands that actually play instruments all the way thru the song. Isn't that the way music was suppose to be? Lord knows when producers run out of ideas they go running to the pre 90's music catalog for sampling. This is a great CD. Light, tight and breezy. Pick it up. Nice to hear a bass player moving the strings.

● Bilal : Very nice. Nicely produced to.

● Nas - Stillmatic : I've never been that big a fan of Nas (don't ask why, maybe I was on some bad cheeba) but this is a great CD. True lyricist who doesn't have to resort to short lived gimmicks (growly voice, bling bling). Ether is a trip!

● DJ Doc Martin - Open Your Mind Mix CD: THis one's from 1996, but it's still one of my all time mix cd's ever (next to Laurent Garnier's Xmix 2 CD). If youcan find it scoop it up. Great mix of house and techno on the moody tip. And man what an intro - Dj Sneak into Terry Lee Brown's "Terry's House". Classic.
