Music been listening to.

Well having all this time on my hands has allowed me to listen to quite a bit of music. So I thought cos I am waiting for some MP3s to upload to my mp3 player - I`d bore you with them.

So currently since I have been travelling I have bought:-
Madvillain - a funky hip-hop album produced by Madlib who has an amazing ability to find some great funk/jazz basslines. If you like hip-hop then you`ll love this, classic Stones Throw.

Gorillaz - Demon Days - superb album, a real varied listen with electronic through to rock tracks, missing Del tha Funky Homosapien though.

Public Enemy`s - Greatest Hits. If you love PE then you`ll love this, this has been my first PE buy and its really great but then I have heard the tracks quite a few times and thus it didnt last too long on my player.

Teriyaki Boyz - Beef or Chicken. These guys are from Japan and the brains behind the Boyz is a guy called DJ Nigo who looks after Bathing Ape - one of the hottest Japanese clothing labels. Has guest apperances from Ad Rock (Beastie Boys), Daft Punk, Cut Chemist and DJ Shadow amongst others. Good hip-hop album - quite funny as they drop in English phrases in places though again wish I could understand Japanese.

The Herbiliser - Take London - real classic album a mix of hip-hop with funk/jazz instrumentals. Well worth a listen and after a couple of plays you`ll be hooked. Close your eyes and Gadget Funk are my fav tracks.

The Herbiliser - Something Wicked this way Comes - probably my fav Herbiliser album and played it to death and still love it, especially the track Good Girl Gone Bad with Wildflower. Funkier than Take London and just a little bit more upbeat.

Portishead - unknown album (the one with the full orchestra supporting - Grom`ll know.)
Great chilled out trip-hop from Portishead, one of fav tracks called Leave Me Alone with Natalie Imbrulia. The great thing about the album is all the orchestra instruments give the tracks a bit of classical edge.. but with layed back hip-hop beats .. genius!

.... ah my mp3 player has finished loading the tracks....
