THE DECADE IN SONGS 80 - 71

I am getting more & more excited about every next post on the Noughties matter, every next 10 is just better again... I adore this one;-) :

80 - MARZEC - Kasia Stankiewicz - I suppose the highest entry by a Polish artist in my ranking means this is the best song of the decade coming from my homeland... Well in my humble opinion anyway...

79 - MIDSUMMER NIGHT BLUES - Waldeck Feat. Zeebee - glamorous lounge extravaganza built up around timeless SUMMERTIME sample, beguiling

78 - SUPERMASSIVE BLACK HOLE - Muse - the masters of indisputably enormous melodies, here's a tad more POPpy effort by the boys from Devon, England

77 - THE ESSENCE - Jody Watley - one of my biggest music icons of all times in a deliciously funky collaboration with King Britt, s*** cool vibes



76 - KOOP ISLAND BLUES - Koop Feat. Ane Brun - charmingly kitschy tune from the retro chic electronic jazz duo from Uppsala, Sweden, vibraphones, clarinet 'n' all that oldfashioned jazz



75 - FOREVER MORE - Moloko



74 - EVERYTHING IN ITS RIGHT PLACE - Radiohead - once upon a time when I was a kid (A)...

73 - HUMAN - Goldfrapp - particularly impressive and over the top in its Bondesque strings galore in the video edit of the song,



72 - SINKING FEELING - Róisín Murphy - another elaborate composition by the ever so fascinating La Murphy/Matthew Herbert team from RUBY BLUE - the sampling "rococo" masterpiece

71 - GET INNOCUOUS - LCD Soundsystem - 7 minutes long electronic symphony based on "bolero" motive, from one single juicy loop 2 the whole wall of sound, James Murphy's most sophisticated work 2 date, and he sounds a wee bit like David Bowie here too



Thursday, February 25, 2010

THE DECADE IN SONGS 90 - 81

90 - WOULD YOU - Slowpho - Hi-Fi sounds not only for the young Norwegians, remember it clearly when I got a promo of their album 4 the whole ONE EURO back in 2002 and ringing my friends Maciek & Marysia all excited screaming "I THINK WE HAVE A BRAND NEW UNEXPECTED ALBUM OF THE YEAR"... "Would You" is a definite highlight, marriage of nervous drum'n'bass and beautifully haunting melody

89 - STANDING IN THE WAY OF CONTROL - Gossip



88 - CHEWING GUM - Annie - tongue 'n' cheek pop @ its best!

87 - VICIOUS GAME - David Carretta - Marseille born International Deejay Gigolo Records' number one pimp who will KILL YOUR RADIO!



86 - CHOCOLATE - Kylie Minogue - Miss Minogue's classiest, most elegant and also sadly most underrated single in her whole decade catalogue

85 - SINGLE LADIES (PUT A RING ON IT) - Beyoncé

84 - LOVERTITS - Peaches - Debut 12" by the filthiest of all electroclash queens with a rather obscure bicycle themed video;-)



83 - SIX DAYS - DJ Shadow - really wanted 2 add Wong Kar Wai's phenomenal video 4 this gem but 2 my surprise I couldn't chase it down in the whole youtube... Strange... Here's the artwork instead:



82 - LIKE A FEATHER - Nikka Costa - Mark Ronson produced this saucy number in 2001



81 - AMOUREUX SOLITAIRES - Jeny Goes Dirty - a one off kinky collaboration between dame of electro Jennifer Cardini and producer Henry Goes Dirty covering French Pop classic song from LIO's repertoire

THE DECADE IN SONGS 100 - 91

Here it is... Top 100 countdown starts right here, right now:

100 - LES CHRYSANTHÈMES - Moscow Grooves Institute, O.L.F. & Olga Rojdestvenskaya - have I told you about "the melodies from heaven" yet? Well this is one of those "inescapable" compositions, sung in Russian with goosebumps-causing key changes,

99 - NIE PATRZYSZ - Kayah - elegant and intricate almost 8 minutes long opening track of the best album of the decade in my homeland - Poland, JAKA JA KAYAH...



98 - LOVELY HEAD - Goldfrapp - the very first single by Goldfrapp still magnetises the audiences at any of their live shows, Alison's otherworldly vocal performance

97 - PYRAMID SONG - Radiohead

96 - LET ME KNOW - Róisín Murphy



95 - MOODY FEELS GOOD - Spektrum - a London based gritty disco punk collective with a fashion icon Lola Olafisoye behind the microphone, beautifully crafted sonic experience straight from their second LP: "Fun At The Gymkhana Club"



94 - IT'S ALL TRUE - Tracey Thorn



93 - BACK TO BLACK - Amy Winehouse

92 - DON'T STOP THE MUSIC - Rihanna - similarly 2 Britney's TOXIC, I have included this track against my own will as I find Miss Rihanna extremely average, generic and predictable, DON'T STOP THE MUSIC though well top class pop moment, and that clever Michael Jackson sample, I just can't say a bad word about it...

91 - ALL THAT IS THIRST - Pati Yang - dreamy trip-hoppy sounds by one of Poland's most underrated songwriters, gorgeous tune accompanied by this sublime and meticulous video:



Monday, February 22, 2010

CHOON OF THE DAY: STILLNESS IS THE MOVE - Dirty Projectors


Alluring mélange of alt-funk and experimental rock (apparently...) . A slightly weird but certainly an unforgettable sonic experience. My little pick 2 brighten up this monday moodiness.

PAN DI-DZIEJ VS HOT CHIP



A very good friend of mine and one of my musical gurus - Piotrek aka Pan Di-Dziej, dropped this juicy review of Hot Chip's latest effort. A great read especially 4 all those ones undecided 2 buy or not 2 buy. Brilliant 2 have u guest appearing on my blog Piotrek. More of it in the future please. Enjoy:




Hot Chip – "One Life Stand"

Hot Chip's front man Alexis Taylor is not a very good singer. Nor is Bob Dylan. Whereas Dylan's songs had been wildly covered by many artists throughout decades, bringing some ease for those less tolerant of his voice, this is unlikely going to happen with Hot Chip's material. Mostly because their songs aren't as politically or socially significant. It's not like Hot Chip write bad lyrics or tuneless melodies, but taken out of their natural environment – a quirky electro pop production – they wouldn't stand a chance. A good remix of a Hot Chip tune is also a rarity. That only shows the cheekiness of the band. This is as good as it gets. It won't get any better. Hot Chip could have been a great production team providing material for less imaginative pop stars. Instead they choose to deliver it themselves. This is what we have to offer – take it or leave it. What makes the Band of Geeks from London so significant is their "in your face” attitude and ability to work within their limitations, mocking them occasionally. White geeky boys trying to adopt soul and R'n'b for a laptop generation? That couldn't possibly work. But it does. Their first three LPs were a proof of that, so is their new album, “One life stand”, on which takes down a notch on their sonic experiments. “One night stand” is warmer, more polished and accessible. It's also less synthetic and more alive than previous ones. That might be a sign of growing up or sophistication. Or maybe Hot Chip finally discovered their inner rock band after years of touring and incorporating computer generated sounds with live instruments. With last year's arrival and popularity of bands Hot Chip clearly influenced, the likes of Passion Pit and Miike Snow, it is possible they felt a need to please more people. Then again the album lacks the potential hit singles like “A boy from school”, “Over & over” or “ Ready for the floor”. There are very strong moments and few possible singles here. “One life stand”, a synthpop gem reminiscent of Laid Back's 1983 hit single “White horse”, is as close you will get to a dancefloor filler. Opening tracks “Thieves in the night” and “Hand me down your love” introduce more mature songwriting and complex, lush arrangements (listen to the strings on “Hand me ..”). Halfway through the album slows down and delivers a trio of cozy songs that show sensible side of the boys. In a lullaby-like “Slush” Alexis takes his singing “talent” to another level. Providing the backing vocals as well, he handles the gorgeous melody very carefully in a great piano balladry style. He might not be the greatest singer, but he certainly feels the songs. The closing “Take it in” opens with dark, cloudy electro intro just to let some sunshine in with a catchy refrain and finish the album with an upbeat feeling. “One life stand” is a bold step and a proof of Hot Chip's progress.

(9/10)

TELL ME IF YOU WANT ME TO...



Is there any 1990's R'N'B lovers in da house? Do u remember Groove Theory's smashing TELL ME? Circa 1995, Amel Larrieux on vocals? Well it's one of my all time favourite r'n'b tunes and it was just covered by Beyonce's s*** cool sister Solange and Dirty Projectors on one of their gigs. Absolutely brilliant cover:

120 - WILLIAM'S BLOOD - Grace Jones - around her 60th b*day the exquisite Miss Grace Jones came back with one of her most stunning works 2 date, classic Jones sound, enchanting lyrics and that goosebums causing ending 2 the song, EPIC!



119 - HARDER, BETTER, FASTER, STRONGER - Daft Punk - robo-funk state-of-the-art track, let's try 2 forget how it was mistreated by certain Kanye West...

117 - GET CONFUSED - Fischerspooner - rich, multi structured electro theme from their very own pop art video performance, included on New Yorkers' rather average second coming ODYSSEY,and the flute solo 2 die 4!

112 - PLASTIQUE - Crème de Menthe

124 - AERO DYNAMIK - Kraftwerk - the fathers and inventors of 95% of sounds I adore recording their final single in 2003, here's their visually phenomenal performance of it @ MTV awards:



123 - CRYSTALLINE GREEN - Goldfrapp - the most perfect bridge between their dreamy soundtrack-alike debut - FELT MOUNTAIN and electro kaleidoscope of BLACK CHERRY...

122 - WHAT ABOUT US? - Brandy

121 - DIAMOND DAVE - The Bird & The Bee - flawless melody in this slightly bizarrely themed tribute 2 David Lee Roth (sic!)

144 - LIGHT & MAGIC - Ladytron - this title track from Ladytron's second album sends a shiver down my spine each time, there's something quite old fashioned about its melody and then there's their distinguishing multi-layered in-your-face electronic production all over it, ethereal and gripping

143 - ME AND MR JONES - Amy Winehouse

142 - SOUND OF VIOLENCE (COSMO VITELLI REMIX) - Cassius - Le French Touch founders remixed by genre's other pioneer, jolly little gathering and one of those impossible-not-2-dance moments...

THE FORCE by NANCY NOVA



A slice of bonkers underground disco. I have only discovered it 27 years after its original release. My i-choons library tells me I have played it 77 times since... 4 any admirers of dancefloor oddities and disco obscurities. A top class track in its attractive eeriness.
