In My iPod: Playlist One
I've developed an iTunes addiction whilst looking for the perfect soundtrack for Kelley's wedding, and since I've gotten lots of questions about the music on this site, I think it'll be nice to forward some of my musical tastes on to you folks. Clicking on the following links will take you to iTunes, so you too can develop an insatiable addiction to music like I have:
Gotan Project - La Revancha del Tango
A wonderful blend of Argentine tango and Jamaican dub - who would've thought it took the genius of three French musicians to create this kind of music? Only released a few years ago, La Revancha del Tango is already considered a contemporary classic and can still be heard in movie soundtracks, TV commercials, and chic restaurants worldwide.
DJ Shadow is a master producer, and with an album that is almost entirely made up of samples, it's easy to see why. Layers upon layers of vocals, instruments, sound effects, and beats make way for an auditory treat for the ears. Private Press is a piece of work that gives me hope that there are still hip-hop artists who haven't succumbed to mass commercialism.
Honeyroot - Sound Echo Location
I fell in love with these guys while watching a particular episode of Sex and the City. Think Massive Attack, Air, and Zero 7. This is the album to spend a lazy Sunday morning in bed with. Call it New Age if you will, but this work manages to avoid the pitfall cliches that normally befalls other chill-out albums. People make love with this album playing.
