---new (old) tunes---

!Salom people!
Delighted to see the blog back to life!Unfortunately i cant say i have any particularly new tunes to offer but in order to keep the blog ball rolling (so to speak) here's a few that i feel people might be interested in..
Having been often driven dangerously close to madness by Radio Leeds and Chris Moyles during my sandwich making duties at Opposite cafe in leeds, I eventually managed to get a general switch over of stations to Classic FM (not a regular listener but what else is good on the radio apart from Radio 4?). It was through this switch over that i come across Ludovico Einaudi. Apparantly not really 'classical', but rather 'minimalist,' Ludovico's sound is deep, melodic and kind of cinematic.. see what you think- the tune here is called Oltremare and its from the album Divenirehttp://download.yousendit.com/F33979510AAFF281

next, inspired by the general electronic sound of the blog of recent, here's a mini tune by Vitalic - Polkamatic-http://download.yousendit.com/AFE79ECE01FF4E5D. the fact that it would make a very nice ringtone doesn't take away from its simplistic dopeness...

remaining amongst the electronic sounds, a tune from Prefuse 73's Reads the Books. an album in which the organic sounds of folk/indie band 'The Books' is transformed into the electronic sounds of Prefuse. cant say i listen to it regularly but its definetly worth a check - http://download.yousendit.com/505B01EB33A6F200


Next a tune by The Dining Rooms called Tunnel, http://download.yousendit.com/FA0DF4FD36E6633A . if you like this tune def check 'Destination Moon'..you can listen to it (and other tunes) on their website http://www.thediningrooms.org/FLASH_FILES/index22.htm..


Finally, just to destroy the general theme of the above selection, and to counter the mellow and reflective mood of the post- a tune by the 'Gypo-Hop' outfit KAL from Serbia-
pass me the vodka and make room on the dancefloor, im gonna dance like a cossak on speed...

Happy Summer peeps!
