| Portishead: The Rip (Island Records Group) | | 6:13pm Thursday 26th June 2008 | | Taken from the trio's new
album, The Rip, this starts slowly but
evolves into a more upbeat ballad
accompanied by the slightly eerie
vocals of lead singer Beth Gibbons. |
| Beth Rowley: Little Dreamer | | 2:49pm Thursday 12th June 2008 | | THE press release that accompanies
Beth Rowley's debut album describes
the Bristol singer as a vintage blend of
blues and soul with a joyous,
contemporary edge. Does it remind you
of anyone? |
| Spiritualized: Songs In A&E | | 2:48pm Thursday 12th June 2008 | | A lengthy spell in intensive care is hardly
your typical route to musical rebirth, but
after coming close to death in 2005,
Spiritualized frontman Jason Pierce has
recovered to produce a strong
contender for album of the year. |
| Various Artists: Cream 15 Years | | 2:56pm Thursday 5th June 2008 | | You might not know it by the weather,
but the summer's coming and this is the
perfect way to welcome in the party
season. |
| Various Artists: Ministry of Sound Chilled 1991-2008 | | 2:53pm Thursday 5th June 2008 | | Whereas the Cream album is the perfect
music for a party, as its name suggests,
this three-CD release is a lot more
mellow - perhaps one to use as the
party's dying down or for relaxing in the
sun. |
| Futureheads: This Is Not The World | | 12:25pm Friday 30th May 2008 | | The
Wearsiders' self-financed third album sees
them combine the frantic pace of their first
LP and the catchy elements of follow-up,
News & Tributes into exquisite harmonies
and solid punk integrity. |
| Various: Eurovision Ultimate Party | | 5:54pm Thursday 22nd May 2008 | | Boasting the greatest Eurovision tracks of all
time', this two CD compilation is a non-stop
doo-wop of tip-top musique pop, from Sandi
Shaw's triumphant Puppet On A String to
Scooch's air hostess-themed campfest Flying
The Flag (For You), which crashed and
burned in Helsinki last year. |
