You can't go past local talent, and it doesn't get any more local then the tracks on the "Fresh FM presents Fresh Air" CD:
It's a compilation CD showcasing the very best of Adelaide producers, with genres ranging from Drum N Bass, hip hop, to in my mind, THE BEST vocal trance track seen come out of Australia. The track I'm referring to is Audio Beverege's "Eternal E", and is a cheesey DJ Sammy insprired vocal trance anthem that just reeks of cheesy DJ Sammy class. Not that there's anything wrong with cheese, or DJ Sammy for that matter, but this indeed, is cheese as it's best:)
Not to mention a trance stomper from local Adelaide boys Suni & Phorte entitled "Nightscapes":  Lihn if you're reading.

haha, fresh fm is the pits.
Foo fighters - a hit and miss album. will get back to you with a better description.... It's all about that huge mouth of Dave's engulfing the mic, singing with his eyes closed.
Oasis - Don't Beleive The Truth.
Probably the best thing the fellers have released since 1995. Which doesnt take much with "Be With Me", "Standing on the Shoulder" & "Heathen Chem" all being sub par.
Stealing riffs from The Stranglers, The Stooges and the obvious John Lennon & Beatles undertones, the guys inject some excellent guitar and drum work to make it thier own. To compliment this, nothing says Oasis more than some tree hugging lovey dove lyrics, thrown down over quite a few tracks..
Although not going to be ever as ground breaking and defining as "Definetly Maybe" or "Morning Glory", the tired out Gallagher brothers have just got enough heart left in the project to throw out an album that is worth a mention and a glimpse of former glory.
Welcome return from Oasis.....
(haha, I would write a proper review, but im listening to Patrick Wolf) |

CD2 is a bonus mix from Nick Warren, good, groovy prog. Some top tunes on it, its not quite the more melodic side of prog I prefer, but yeah, its not bad. |
Correction, CD2 is compiled by Nick and Jody. ;) |

| Got the new Coldplay album X & Y a week or two ago. It's awesome. I like it better than their second one and it's about equal with parachutes. So many beautiful tracks. Favourites are square one and talk. If you liked either of their first two albums definitely get this. :) |

THE KILLERS - Hot Fuss
No doubt we have all heard of the killers by now. I really like their sound, which mixes in a lot of electronic along with the regular indie sound. This is their debut album and it sure is a killer. A must have.
The Postal Service - Give Up
In every sense of the word Give Up, the debut album from American Electro beatniks the Postal Service is a remarkable record. Born of a chance meeting between Ben Gibbard, singer of Seattle indie-rockers Death Cab for Cutie and LA resident and Dntel lynch-pin Jimmy Tamborello, and written and recorded by post--hence the name the Postal Service--it's an inspired, if unlikely, marriage of lo-fi innocence and hi-tech beauty. Gibbard's voice is filled with the insecure questioning normally restricted to recently dumped singers in emo bands. Tamborello's clicks, bleeps, analogue murmurs and eerie scraps are the stuff of inaccessible bedroom electronica. Together though, they find a sensual middle ground where stories of jilted lovers and fragile desires softly prick the emotions on a tidal wave of otherworldly synthetic sounds. "The District Sleeps Alone", with its tripping beats, bittersweet computer strings and tragically uplifting hook is melancholy at its most tender. "Sleeping In" is a joyously sunny daydream; a naïve vision of how good the world could be. And everything else falls somewhere between the two--equal parts heartbreak and hope, to form a strange and wonderful dimension where electro-pop has a soul. |
