mini reviews #10

tenth edition and this one was meant to be done a while ago, but this person i asked had problems in picking just 10 songs and kept changing their mind in what to select. the result was that i kept on doing entries waiting on a final selection and i don't think i've got that but here goes anyways. the person doing the selection is chrissanna thomassen and is a danish woman currently pursuing field work in whatever parts of the globe. she has a deep love of music and is known for liking all sorts of music. so here goes,

01. 2pac - picture me rollin' | youtube
pac has really not been my thing but this track is nice but just that.

02. luke fair - lokitas | youtube
i've heard this before and i like it, it's very funky and has a great groove

03. i:cube - adore | youtube
that smoky groove is very nice and hypnotic, kind of reminds me of david holmes' "tess"

04. blümchen - herz an herz | youtube
already done an entry on my liking of blümchen but this isn't one of my favourites

05. amon tobin - bridge | youtube
this is an exercise of twisting jazz samples to form an own entity. it's well done and it's really good

06. earth nation - falling tears | youtube
prefer the mixes on the single but the album version is nice as well.

07. anthony rother - 10.000 dancer | youtube
nice subtle techno, it's really not what i expected from rother.

08. galaxy 2 galaxy - momma's basement | youtube
reminds me of incognito's later material and i quite like it

09. bugge wesseltoft - many rivers to cross | grooveshark
i really don't like jimmy cliff's original and this piano version did not improve it at all

10. jónsi - grow till tall | youtube
never heard it before but love how the way it grow from silence into noise with jonsis sweet vocals in the middle of it all

thanks for those ten chrissanna. and as always i asked if he wanted to anything extra about his picks and the response was:

what we have is a couple of songs I've loved "forever" (Picture Me Rollin', Grow til Tall, and Many Rivers to Cross for example) versus some that I just recently came across on my own (Lokitas, Adore, Bridge, Falling Tears, Momma's Basement for example). As always, I value your thoughts and I'd like to hear what you have to say about these.

right on.
