You wouldn t believe it s good, but...


What CD (or album) have you recently purchased that is darn good music, despite the band's name/reputation? I just purchased a-ha's Minor Earth, Major Sky. Very good indeed. It has an edge to it and great melodies. Very funky, too. So, help your ol' pal Brad find some more unexpected good music...

Alright. I wanted to put this up last week, but never had time. Bday0000 gave me forum to say that the new Daft punk CD 'Discovery' has some of the greatest tracks in the inventive electronic music. 4 tracks in the beginning has some great electric guitar (YES, guiter) riffs that will put heavy metal rock to shame. 9 th track ' something about us' is very addictive ballad song, sung thru guitar voice box(?). Remaining tracks are standard fare, but still uniquely arrange dance tracks that has enough variations, notes not to become same old same old.Tire Guy, you would enjoy this CD. Particularly if you like Basement Jaxx.
Hey Liguy, not meaning to nit-pick, but why on earth would anyone NOT expect Bill Evans' "Waltz For Debbie" to be anything but brilliant? Just curious.
Frogman, Have most Bill Evan's stuff and "Waltz for Debbie" is my absolute favorite. When I saw the poster ask for suggestions I immediately thought of Bill Evans hoping that the poster would give it a try and enjoy it as much as do I.
Martice, bravo on your selection of Casandra Wilson. My favorite is "Blue Light Til Dawn" (Blue Note D101577 if you don't have it). Frogman, if you are watching and you don't have this one I would highly recommend it. I think you would like it.
Liguy, thanks for the tip; I'll check it out. Here's one for you , if you don't have it already: Stan Getz "The Bill Evans Sessions", some of my favorite Evans on record, not to mention the great Getz. Was also paired as a reissue on Verve with the also wonderful Chick Corea sessions.
