This is the 2-CD set that captures the best of those 2 CDs into one regular CD and another remixed for the US market. Though unfortunately, they havent made much headway in the mainstream market, they have certainly gained a cult following. Songs like Not 17, Beautiful and Deep Love feature a dreamy and trip-hopp-ish setting matched by a irresistable vocal from Nicola. Her vocal is a heavy contrast to the unique vocals of Lou from Lamb, which I strongly recommend too. The brilliance of this duo consistently shines through song after song with perfect seamlessness. The excellent deal here must be the second CD of remixes culled from the CD single releases in the UK that were unavailable to the US. 11 smashing remixes, and seriously none of them were bad. Many of these remixes are given a new touch with finesse and kick, mostly within 4-6 minutes, and is easy on your ears without too much repetition. Even Victor Calderone shows better promise here than usual. The first 5-6 remixes are best. Pretty good deal. You'll get the original wonder as well as the faster reworks.

It is a great introduction to world music. Once you start listening, you won't want to stop.
Without a doubt Blue Asia's "Abyssinean Dub" is the best track. It fuses middle eastern rhythms, asian instruments, and modern beats in one terrific song. I can never play it just once. Another favorite of mine is "Santa Maria", which puts a modern, urban spin on the Argentinian tango. (you may have heard this song in some commercials) Then there's always the quirky "Sympathique" by Pink Martini, which is a throwback to the days of French cabaret. This is truly an eclectic CD, and it is definitely not for everyone. This is the type of CD where, to be honest, you either love it or you hate it. Listen to the sample tracks; trust me, you'll love it.
Whenever I play it at my parties, my friends always ask where the wonderfully different music is from. I tell them its from all over the world. Its also a great "springboard" CD. If you like one cut better than another, investigate the artist (Pink Martini has become a new favorite of mine). If you like this CD, you should also look for the Style series by Electric Lounge. ... Read more | |

Occasionally as on 'Strugglin' they wander astray without a tune and it makes for a somewhat routine track, acceptable as a 2-minute filler but unbearable stretched into 6 and 1/2 minutes. Yet there's more than enough to make up for it: the masterpiece of paraonoia that is an inspired cover of 'Black Steel', Topley-Bird's voice awash in aggressive guitars and gritty production. Her voice is an acquired taste, especially on tracks like 'Ponderosa' where her sound is totally Estuary, but its nicely broken up by the lush 'Pumpkin' which takes the ingenious tactic of marrying a Massive Attack-style backing track to Orbital (and, after this album, Goldfrapp) vocalist Alison Goldfrapp and a brooding Smashing Pumpkins sample. Also, when the tracks are as good as 'You Don't' which is reggae-tinged and almost like the Horace Andy tracks on 'Blue Lines' its churlish to complain. Ultimately, Maxinquaye is not only a trip-hop masterpiece but an urban classic. Highly reccomended to fans of not just triphop but those new to the genre or mainstream hip-hop fans.
Overcome: highly percussive opener, sexy singing. rowr. A Fans of trip-hop will no doubt appreciate this dense and sexy album from an artist who has not been able to reach the heights he climbed with this album. Play it loud and float away.

This cd is perfect. Nina's voice is lovely, the songwriting excellent, the musicianship pristine. This cd reminds me of when I lived in Portland and would roam the city streets in the rain, completely alone, yet surrounded by the hustle and bustle of the city streets. That is when I first heard of Baxter, and the mood of the music just seemed to evoke a particular essence. Sort of gloomy, lost, yet beautiful, and powerful in its own quiet way. ... Read more | |

In this album (produced by Dan the Automator), Kool Keith plays the deranged Dr. Octagon. This album is full of bizarre lyrics and is filled with electronic and unusual beats. There are several great tracks to listen to on this album such as:"3000", "Blue Flowers", "Bear Witness" 1 (1st of several by Dan the Automator and Prince Paul), and "I'm Destructive". There are also musical contributions by: Prince Paul, DJ Shadow, and DJ Qbert. If you like Kool Keith or unusual and innovative hiphop this is a good album. Considered a classic.

- BoC use various stuff to make their music more interesting, they implement mathematical formulas, the golden ratio and other things that take a while to be done - so their songs are carefully and precisely produced, with subtle details that add MEANING to the music; - references to "the birth of the satanic church, hypnotism, brainwashing, and cult movements" can only be taken seriously by a person whose intelligence is... ok, you get the point. Giving one star to this album is ridiculous - this is one of the best records ever made, and its double nature - the child-like innocence and the paranoia of adulthood is in the core of its brilliance.

This album features an impressive array of world encompassing songs, such as Enya's "Only if," as well as Native American music such as Sacred Spirit's "Dela Dela." Some songs like Kitaro's "Silk Road" even blend in a sound of the orient into this wonderous album. One of the best features of this album is that it gives you such a wide range of musical items to chose from, and if you like a certain artist or song, the booklet included gives you all of the information you need to find out what original album/movie the song came from! If you love New Age music, and if you love to listen to a broad variety of world music, you have to get this cd!

On the other hand, I was indeed surprised--no, shocked--to find Massive Attack's "Teardrop" in this CD. Massive Attack did songs for the soundtrack of the movie "Pi", which is all paranoid techno and definitely not "purely mooded." It turned out to be quite a pleasant surprise. Although "Teardrop" isn't much in the way of New Age, I could listen to it all day. It's got an awesome harmony and an eerie melody. Maybe it doesn't belong on this collection, but it's definitely worth listening to. However, this CD isn't without a few flaws. "Breezin'" and "Emily" are so out of place that they should be in a "Jazzy Moods" CD. "Life in a Northern Town" is also a little out of place, as it isn't nearly as atmospheric as most of the other songs in the "Pure Moods" series are. Finally, this isn't really a flaw, but it seems necessary to warn fans of the first "Pure Moods" that there's no Enya on this CD. But those are just a few minor complaints, and ultimately, "Pure Moods II" is worthy of your time and money. Other very good songs: "Beyond the Invisible", "The Cradlesong", "The Mummer's Dance", "Theme from Harry's Game", and "Monteczuma". In a nutshell: I pretty much agree with Amazon.com's editiorial review on this CD. See ya 'til I get "Pure Moods III".

"Sounds from the Verve Hi Fi" is a collection of semi-obscure easy listening/bossa-nova/jazz from the record collection (are all of their records on Verve? Hmmm...) of Eric Hilton and Roberto Garza, Thievery Corporation to you. NO, it's not set to BEATS, and there is NOTHING SAMPLED. The music here is original and occasionally raw...this is the real thing! Standouts include "Ogd" (anything by Jimmy Smith is a worthy purchase), "Light My Fire" as interpreted by Astrud Gilberto and Wynton Kelly puts in an appearance with "Escapade." The verdict? Everything on here is great, but it's no place to start your jazz collection. This is not the complex or spiritual stuff like Miles or Mingus. However, it goes down quite nicely with a decadent Polynesian cocktail and that lil' special someone...

The rap songs (the opener "Guns Blazing" and "The Knock") rock hard with heavy drums. But I often skip these along with the rocking "Nursery Rhyme" because I'm in the mood for (and I prefer) the lower key stuff like "Unkle Main Theme" and "Blood Stain," the latter being a great song & beat with really downer lyrics I can relate to. Also, "Unreal" is a pretty trippy instrumental. "Celestial Annialation" is another vocal-less track that's a bit more ominous sounding. The album's themes are decidedly negative. That's certainly true of the standout tracks "Lonely Soul" and "Rabbit In Your Headlights." "Lonely Soul" is sung by Richard Ashcroft of Verve fame and it's powerful. The String section sounds fantastic. DJ Shadow wrote the music (or constructed it?) on this song as on most of the album. I must say, this is perhaps the most musical music he's done. "Rabbit In Your Headlights" alone makes this CD worth getting. Amazing that Tom Yorke kept this, one of his best songs, from his Radiohead mates. Those opening piano chords just kill me, and then comes Tom's angelic voice with those poisonous words," . . . fat bloody fingers/ sucking your soul away." Whew! This guy really sounds like he's been to some harrowing place! And that beat . . . this track is just incredible. Despite some real shortcomings, I feel "Rabbit" and the other great songs hear elevate the album to 4 1/2 stars (or in this case 5). The rating is meant to reflect its worthiness for purchase. Even the lesser material is at least interesting and the album stands as something pretty unique.
