surprisingly, they sounded better when they went back to their Joy Division root, and when synthesizers took a backseat. brilliant songwriting. Peter Hook's killer bass. Bernard Sumner's poignant lyrics and singing. what do you get? New Order. absolutely no filler here. best lyrics?

i wanna to be true

(2) Primal Scream - XTRMNTR
bad boys. baaad, baaaaaaaad boys. they'll break your window, throw beer bottle at your car, and scream at you :disbelief. from Kill All Hippies' "Hello this is gorgeous, anybody out there read me? ...you've got money, i've got soul" to "COME ON, COME ON, HIT THE ACCELERATOR, ACCELERATOR" in Accelerator, from "your autosuggestion psychology, elimination policy. a military industrial, illusion of democracy" and the electronic swirl in Swastika Eyes to the legendary " off, you're sick, , , sick, , , sick, , , sick, , , sick, , ..." in Pills, from the eerie trippy sound in Keep Your Dreams to the monstrous MBV arkestra (if they move, kill them)... it's all hall-of-famers here. bad boys  . mobs :whip:. maniacs  . call them faeces if you like, they just don't give it a flying :)
(1) Massive Attack - Mezzanine
trip-hop at its best! dark music at its best!! sleaze at its best!!! you'll listen to it when you're driving home, then play it again in the kitchen when you're making supper; you'll listen to it for the rest of your life when you're stranded in a island, or serving in a prison; you'll even want to play it when you're making love. no, seriously, i mean it, you will. hahaha.

favourite Aussie album: frente - marvin the album
(this is an Aussie forum after all, so why not?)

The same goes for one of my other non trance favourites, Björk- Homogenic. This CD is also quite engaging, and Björk's voice is beautiful. She always sounds so passionate. There is this mysterious energy about her music, and I love the lyrics to her songs. Brilliant stuff. |
good choice. for many years i'm hooked to Bachelorette, Joga and All Is Full of Love, still can't get enough of them :D |

Another classic Australian album that I forgot to mention is:
Avalanches - Since I left you
As far as I'm aware, Avalanches are a bunch of 9 DJs who collect really old records and use them as the basis of their music.
The best part of the whole album is in Frontier Psychiatrist when DJ Dexter makes the noise of a parrot by scratching a record. Just amazing! |
