Nitin Sawhney - Mausam
(Apr 24, 2006 - 16:24) | Nitin Sawhney rocks, but this is not the best proof of it, not nearly

Loop Guru - Single Orphan First Year Camel
(Dec 29, 2005 - 13:10) | jah_blessed wrote:Sounds like it was made with ACID or Garage Band. Any amateur can string samples together this way. 
Thats why theyre called Loop Guru. Seems like they just take tiny bits of sounds or drum patterns and them loop them together to make songs

Coldplay - White Shadows
(Dec 28, 2005 - 12:52) | Seems like Coldplay wrote all of their songs on the same year and then just sat back while their label released them bit by bit. Maybe they already have material ready for three more albums in store!

Kasabian - Processed Beats
(Dec 26, 2005 - 14:27) | these guys have pretty interesting ideas here and there on this album. Im looking forward to future work from them

David Byrne - Glass, Concrete & Stone
(Dec 26, 2005 - 14:15) | Should have guessed this song was coming, after that series of "Lion King" tunes....
I like this song but it always seems to be playing every time I listen in to radio paradise and that's starting to bug me a little...

Big Daddy - Once In A Lifetime
(Dec 26, 2005 - 14:11) | this just plain out sucks, whats going on here? I guess they're trying to build the playlist into some african-tropical-dancy mood, but for what purposes I can only wonder....

Catie Curtis - River Winding
(Dec 26, 2005 - 14:00) | it's decent, nothing more, nothing less. Still a thousand times better than anything on commercial radio so i'm not tuning out just yet...

The Beatles - Rain
(Dec 26, 2005 - 13:48) | Great to hear this song! That sure is some mean bass playing
|
Medeski, Martin & Wood - Reflector
(Dec 26, 2005 - 13:45) | God damn, this rocks. I'm giving it a 9. And i'm also finding out more about these guys.
Still saving the 10 for something that makes my spine shiver though...

I'll be looking for Leo Kottke music down at Amoeba or Rasputin's...
Sounds like Shawn Mullins with talent

Alpinestars - Burning Up
(Jul 16, 2004 - 08:08) | Why do I like this song so much?
How about those three notes, kyun kyun kyun! goooood...

Jeff Beck - Nadia
(May 27, 2004 - 16:00) | ok, I just found out that it´s actually a Nitin Sawhney song!
Damn it! Stupid me! Anyway, it´s an impressive showcase of great talent and technique by Jeff Beck

Jeff Beck - Nadia
(May 27, 2004 - 15:54) | I heard this song first by Nitin Sawhney and when I heard this one I thought maybe it was a cover by someone else or another version (I know, I´m sorry! Blame it on my youth) and I thought it had a great melody and I just love the beats, but when I realized that it was actually a song conceived by a guitarist, to be played on the guitar...well that just pushed it over to a whole new level! Coming up with a melody like that, with a guitar! I don´t know why I didn´t give it a 10! Guess I´m saving the 10´s for something that will literally kill me in the act

Ani DiFranco - What How When Where
(May 05, 2004 - 09:31) | This is just great!
I used to think of Ani Di Franco as OK, but hearing this I have to assume another position. This is pretty original and funky versus her more down tempo material. I´m lovin´it!

Pink - Gone to California
(May 04, 2004 - 15:00) | Actually this is not so bad. It is bad, but not that bad. I mean at least it has some horns in it, so its not that crappy.

Coldplay - High Speed
(May 04, 2004 - 14:17) | Chunnamark wrote:It's so hard not to compare Coldplay to Radiohead... so I did:
I highly suggest playing "High Speed", then playing "Subterranean Homesick Alien" off of OK Computer. The similarity is really astounding. And I mean this in the most flattering of ways... 
I have to admit the guitar textures in this song are very similar to those in Subterranean Homesick Alien. BUT, overall Radiohead is on a much higher level than Coldplay, in every aspect. Don´t get me wrong. I like Coldplay. But I just don´t see how they can be compared with Radiohead. They aren´t innovative, Radiohead is. Coldplay has a much more mainstream sound. Radiohead is everything Coldplay lacks: great lyrics, incredible mood setting and complex melodies and arrangements, catchy and yet dark riffs and beats.
I am pretty sure how the next Coldlpay album will sound, but I have no idea what the next Radiohead album is gonna sound like, so that´s just another big difference.

Guster - Airport Song
(Apr 30, 2004 - 14:27) | Why the hell hadn´t I heard this band before???!!!!!%@#*&º!!!!!!
Darn good.

Alpinestars - Burning Up
(Apr 30, 2004 - 14:24) | Nice!
