Album Week #5

[bebo]

Sup, here's my picks for week 5. Alittle different then whats been posted but hey. Sorry for the late post, etc, suck my dick, etc.


Tiga – Ciao!



Year: 2009
Genre: Electro/Dance
Track Picks: Shoes, Gentle Giant

Kay. I'm pretty sure this was laughed out of the best of 2009 thread based solely on the cover. Yes, appearances can be deceivingly gay--but an awesome gay.This album is probably one of the more cohesive electronic albums I've come across, a great journey from start to finish. Wonderful pop appeal and tops as one of my favorite albums. Has a distinct 80's vibe with a hint of disco. Give it a few listens, it'll pay off. Check out his previous record Sexor as well.

Charolette Gainsbourg – IRM



Year: 2009
Genre: Alternative
Track Picks: Le Chat du Café des Artistes, Time of the Assassins, Trick Pony

Lovely little album produced by Beck. Preferring female vocals myself, this album was hard to pass up--Its fresh and a decent listen.

DJ Krush – Ki-Oku



Year: 1996
Genre: Trip-Hop
Track Picks: Mu-Getsu, Sun is Shining

I fucking love trip-hop. Came across this while dicking around on Pandora Radio after going through Portishead and Massive Attack's discography. Trip Hop beats + wonderful trumpet. Great driving music. 100% instrumental.

Inga Liljestrom – Elk



Year: 2005
Genre: Experimental/Trip-Hop
Track Picks: Film Noir, Diamond Horseshoe

Very atmospheric album with many layers, reminds me of Goldfrapp's Felt Mountain, just a little less accessible. It'll take a few listens, but will be quite rewarding. Excellent abtract lyrics in my opinion.

The Cinematic Orchestra – Everyday



Year: 2002
Genre: Downtempo
Track Picks: All That You Give, Man With the Movie Camera

Another favorite—Absolutely beautiful downtempo music. I'm sure many of you have heard it, or at least the band. Their name describes  their work perfectly--Cinematic Orchestra.

WHAT THE FUCK BONUS

Goldfrapp – Felt Mountain



Year: 2005
Genre: Electronic/Dream Pop
Track Picks: Lovely Head, Pilots, Utopia

Couldn't pass up posting this just because it was a more popular record. So here you go. As this album is quite similar to Elk, I would recommend giving this a listen before it, but that's just my personal preference.

Hopefully you'll find at least one new record here that you'll thoroughly enjoy or haven't heard yet. Also, apologies for the download links. I had to find them already uploaded as for some reason none of the upload tools would work with any of my browsers. If there's a problem, let me know. All should be working, but there's a few rapidshit ones in there, and I know how they suck balls.

Anyways, toodles

I know right? Everyday is by far my favorite album by them. Just wonderful

[Crazylegs]

I'm a few songs into the Inga Liljeström album. Really liking it so far.

[black coffee]

Interesting stuff right there. I've heard a few singles by Tiga before, but the guy is doing a good job with this album. Enjoyed Inga Liljestrom and Charolette Gainsbourg as well. Feels good to listen to something different every once in a while.

[raynor]

Always wanted to check out that Charolette Gainsbourg album but never got around to it. Really liking it, thanks for hooking me up! Wasn't anything near what I expected, which is a good thing. Gonna check that Tiga fella next.

[bright lights, big city]

Cinematic Orchestra is so damn good. can't believe I had never even heard of them before a month ago.
