never get ahead  performed by bobby conn  1997
Recommended by shaka_klaus [profile]

i was watching an mtv show where johan renck (aka stakka bo) was showing his fav videos. i don't remember anyone of them except the last one which was bobby conn's 'never get ahead'. bizarre lyrics and nice strings makes this little number a nice tune.





  25 Mar 04 ·masterkil: compare this song with i want you back from the jacksons five, Do you find similar tunes?
  26 Mar 04 ·shaka_klaus: yeah, i thought that one was pretty obvious. however i could have mentioned it. i think it's a nice theft! ;-)
  28 Jun 04 ·Sepp: bizarre lyrics. ??? ... so please help me. i couldnt get much from the lyrics. maybe because of the fucking cool violin. i searched the internet to find the lyrics but didnt get it. maybe you could help me with it. thanks s
Hotel Voulez-Vous  performed by Miranda July  1997
Recommended by jeanette [profile]

This is like a favourite film. A spoken word track, with backing by a scratchy American Red Cross WWII record, it's an epic tale of time travel and family hatred.

Miranda is multi-talented, being a recording artist, film maker, performance artist and writer. Unfortunately she seems to have given up making records: a real loss.

from 10 Million Hours A Mile, available on CD




  03 Feb 04 ·barrythejackal: Quite right. Mesmerising stuff from this really interesting performer and Kill Rock Stars affiliate, with as much balls as any of the seminal riot grrl bands on that label. Essential listening!
No Surprises  performed by Radiohead  1997
Recommended by xfanatic50 [profile]

This track is heartbreaking and incredible. Radiohead are great at creating flowing melodies that shift and bend.

from OK Computer (EMI)


Whoever you are  performed by Prefab Sprout  1997
Recommended by Mike [profile]

A gentle, easy-listening inspired song which is pretty much perfect so long as you can manage to avoid finding it overbearingly kitsch. The naively optimistic, yet sophisticated lyric is beautifully matched by the music and arrangement.

from Andromeda Heights, available on CD


Kortisin  performed by Plaid  1997
Recommended by Mr Tom [profile]

A lovely triptych. Plaid keep their trademark odd noises (creaking doors and weird duck quacks in this track) more in check than usual, and the result's a little more conventional than a lot of their work, but it's also very pretty. It's tightly structured, with a happy little introduction followed by three sections marked by their different, though related, warm basslines. Each has a gentle melody of its own, and between each there's an interesting break. Warm, sophisticated, and full of beauty.

from Not For Threes (Warp)
