Hello Darling - Wife Of Rolex

1. Sounds of the sub-continent with nice effects but once the bass kicks in it sounds like something John Lennon would do on an average day. Okay but a bit monotonous.

2. Drove me mad trying to think what this was, I'm so bad with remembering songs, I may even have a copy of this somewhere. I'm not the biggest fan of these guys/guy but I do like this. Modern art school/dance outfit doing an impression of the Human League and thus pretty cool.

3. Finger plucking good. Sounds a bit like The Beta Band or the Aliens although I suspect it's quite a bit older than that. Nice piano fade out.

4. Opens with hammond organ and funky drumming then the guitar kicks and the woodwind licks and the whole thing becomes so groovalicious.

5. Infectious late 80's house. Nothing too revolutionary but good enough to chew your face off to.

6. This weirdly sounds like every song ever recorded. Like pretty much everything about this except where the chorus goes. Otherwise it's cool indie pop.

7. Really great minimalist interpretation of a fucking awesome, stone classic. It'd be hard to go wrong with this though.

8. This artist can sometimes leave me a bit cold but cinematic electroclash, lovely vocals and sweeping strings make this down tempo track a beautiful heartbreaker.

9. Melancholy acoustica that could have been too overwrought but is saved by charming melodies and great vocals. And yet another track on the cd with backwards instruments.

10. As I like a bit of Cilla I like this. Whoever it is singing has a great voice and the brass and strings really add to the brooding feel of the track but I just wish a little more had been done with it.

11. Didn't like this. Pretty bland.

12. A bit better than the previous track but similarly the ingredients don't seem to blend too well again feeling a bit bland.

13. Back to good stuff. Opens like the Flamingos but turns out to be a computer singing a breezy bit of electropop niceness before humans start to harmanize with it.

14. Gothic intro blends into what sounds like Carter playing the Fun House theme tune which is something I'm really not sure what I think of. An interesting peculiarity maybe.

15. Reminds me of Pretty in Pink but from the sixties. Apart from the sax there's little else to interest me although it does have a closing track feel.


As I've said in another thread I really liked this selection but it tails off quite dramatically for me towards the end with a few tracks that I just didn't find interesting at all. I still think KITH's is my favourite so far but this could have maybe gone one better.

I'd also like to say that I doubt there will be better artwork for any of the cds in this loop, it looks very professional and it is about time there were some naked women popping up.

May I have a tracklist, please.
