I am familiar with it. It's the same one that Jacques Lu Cont used, right?

There's not much else to the track really. And that rising staccato semiquaver motif in it smells very suspiciously of Gescom - Puzl as well..

What annoys me most is the way those black fellas in the videos are lip syncing to it. I hate people in music videos lip sync to samples that's clearly not them singing.

Not sure if Jaques Lu Cont uses it. Possibly. I've never seen the video.

I like The Chill Out too but I think the White Room is a very underrated album. Probably because of its chart success at the time. Pure pop of course but why should that be a bad thing. Has any read 45 by Bill Drummond? I think the best book about music I've ever read and possibly the best (auto)biography I've read too.

1987 What The Fuck Is Going On? is a fantastic record.
Beats The White Room hands down

Chill Out though - perfection.|..|

'Cattle and Cane' by the Go Betweens. Their Best of... starts off so crap but the middle of it is just insane, especially this song and 'Part Company'. It reminds me of No Name#6 by Elliott Smith cos it mentions driving alongside cows. Also the spoken word bit is brilliant and so is the weird intro.

That Bellavista Tce Best Of just doesn't hang right

but the second CD of radio sessions rocks

The cybotron is the instrumental. The Jacques lu cont thing is the vocal he used for 'music makes you lose contol' from darkdancer

i got the new missy elliott album the other day, the one with "lose control" on it. that is certainly not one of the best tracks on it (i have never heard the original piece it samples), and as a single it's not a patch on the superb likes of "work it", "pass that dutch", "get ur freak on" and "the rain". as with most missy albums there are a few tracks that i just have to skip. BUT: one track on this new one, track 8 "We Run This", is without doubt to me at the moment the best piece of music i have heard released this year. i have just listened to it on repeat for the last half hour, and it still makes me punch the air with joy.

also got hold of the new hafler trio album: "exactly as i do". entirely created from the voice of jonsi briggson (singer from sigur ros). the liner notes say that this album must be listened to loud, and not on headphones. at the moment its not particulary engaging to me, but very powerful and interesting use of sound. i suspect its a real grower. beautiful packaging also.

also: all albums by labradford. "mi media naraja" is still my favorite, but they are all wonderful in their own way. i recommend their stuff unreservedly.

Nurse With Wound - Homotopy To Marie

one of the most intense, and greatest, albums ever i would say
extremely powerful

the second track from the first cd of NWW's "Shipwreck Radio" is possibly one of the most inspiring things i have ever heard.

I'll have to check that one out when I get home. Generally I find all the Shipwrecked stuff pretty amazing. I've got too much of it to know any of the tracks offhand though....

What're you doing up at this hour anyway Brian? You should be catchin a few zeds! Must drop you an email soon.... blip.

I'm sorry - I was just deeply affected by the fact that Slayer actually released an album with a song about rugby on it. False Slayer.
