This is such a good album. I wouldn't have heard of it if not for RP.

I think we have other options...but I still like this way.

This guy is one of the best musicians I've heard in years. His songs are like mini-epics, with a beginning, middle, and end. So much is happening in these songs, even though they on the surface are like other repeating-lyric pop tunes. I just love the subtle transitions he hides throughout his songs.

Am I the only one who thought, "hey Bill's playing some Fatboy Slim!" the first time they heard this tune?
Anyway, very dope chopped beats on this one. Gotye is a very dynamic musician!
I too thought it sounded very similar to Fatboy for the first 35 seconds or so. Then the song became so much more. Almost three songs in one. But in a good way. |

seconded. I ordered it too, no problems, and Wally sent it very promptly. |

I loved the beginning of this one, but the middle part really lost me. 6

I love the instrumentation, the shawm (?) and the percussive accordion notes in the background. This sounds like a band that Peter Gabriel might have on his label. A good thing, IMHO.

If you like this sort of thing and are planning any road trips, do yourself a favor and pick this up (I found a new copy on eBay for $15, plus modest shipping). Very cleverly done overall and as background music for driving it's superb.
I think this song is kinda Beck-ish, the others not so much.
And it is good road trip music - got it just in time for a 1700 mile Easter break trip. I got it it direct from Australia - about $21 with shipping and it came in just a few days. |

Just settling in for another Saturday of school planning, marking here at home - and RP keeping me company, of course.
Who IS this? I can't keep track of the number new sounds I've heard here since listening regularly for the last few months.
Love the groove of this artist. Must do some research.

Try the Audrey's website. There's a link to a store in Canada. It looks like you need Paypal, but $15 CAD doesn't look unreasonable.
Thanks! A huge help. $15 is perfectly acceptable. |
