My Favourite Music
We Love MusicWe Love Music by International Pony
Buy used from: £1.41
"We Love Music" - the album title says it all. These 3 DJs from Germany have created an album of music that is fun & funky. This is an album that everyone will love.
Bodily FunctionsBodily Functions by Herbert
Buy new: £11.98 / Used from: £8.04
Herbert never fails to be original and this music is house as you've never heard it before. If you like jazz, a good beat and groove try this out. I think it will be a classic for years to come.
Sambanova [International Re-Package] [Australian Import]Sambanova [International Re-Package] [Australian Import] by Pnau
This is an absolutely brilliant debut album from this Australian duo. A fusion of bossa nova, samba & electronica and I'm amazed that it hasn't had a UK release. A must own.
Head2CleanerHead2Cleaner by Gerling
Another Australian band and another excellent electronica album. It's no wonder Kylie was eager to sing on one of the tracks. This music is absolute coolness.
Since I Left YouSince I Left You by The Avalanches
Buy new: £6.48 / Used from: £4.50
Listening to this album is like being washed away in a collage of all your favourite old songs, TV shows etc. There are said to be 800 samples used on this album & it paints a fantastic audio picture
Installation SonoreInstallation Sonore by <<rinôçérôse>>
Buy new: £7.98 / Used from: £1.96
Rock meets French House, what more can I say? have a listen...
Death by ChocolateDeath by Chocolate by De-Phazz
Buy used from: £9.99
It's a fusion of almost everything and you can't help but feel bouyant listening to it. I always picture glamourous girls and men with martinis when listening to it...
Programmed to LoveProgrammed to Love by Bent
Buy used from: £5.98
I don't know how to describe them. Best to just listen to this album and decide for yourself.
Felt MountainFelt Mountain by Goldfrapp
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £2.49
There is no such thing as a Goldfrapp album that disappoints. But Felt Mountain was music as you've never heard it before and I doubt you'll ever hear again.
Gran RiservaGran Riserva by Dzihan & Kamien
Buy used from: £7.49
I've never heard such a crisp & clear recording as this. It's a really fresh album bringing beats & double bass right into your ears. A fusion of jazz, lounge, trip hop & middle eastern sounds.
Astrud Gilberto (Jazz Masters 9)Astrud Gilberto (Jazz Masters 9) by Astrud Gilberto
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £1.15
She will always be the queen of Bossa Nova and no one can sing it quite like her. Her mix of vulnerability & sadness add something to the bossa beats that just moves me every time...
Love ScenesLove Scenes by Diana Krall
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £2.85
This is by far her best album from when only true jazz fans knew her. This album showcases her brilliant voice with just bass & guitar to accompany. It's like she's singing in your ears... lovely.
Lovers LiveLovers Live by Sade
Buy new: £5.78 / Used from: £3.00
I love "live" albums, because if they are as good as this one, you get a sense of the vibe at the performance and the vibe on this album is electric.
Careless LoveCareless Love by Madeleine Peyroux
Buy new: £6.28 / Used from: £3.38
A beautiful, intimate & unique album - it will transport anyone to the streets of Paris. Madeleine is a singer in a league of her own.
Riot on an Empty StreetRiot on an Empty Street by Kings of Convenience
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £4.49
I'm a fan of simple, honest, heartfelt music and this norwegian group really convey a sense of tranquility in their music. I feel a real stillness when listening to this album, it's great on a Sunday.
MirrorballMirrorball by Sarah McLachlan
Buy new: £8.28 / Used from: £1.76
This album has been the soundtrack to much of my travels across the world. I love her vocals and her songwriting because it comes directly from the heart and to the heart.
SongbirdSongbird by Eva Cassidy
Buy new: £9.98 / Used from: £1.04
Everyone loves her, I know. But I think nobody can sing soul like she could.
Nice 'N' EasyNice 'N' Easy by Frank Sinatra
Buy new: £6.68 / Used from: £3.08
The reason I love this album & Frank himself, is because his vocals are nothing short of amazing. He sings such long phrases on one breathe & with such ease that you just gotta envy him for it.
Space Night, Vol. 8Space Night, Vol. 8 by Various Artists
Buy used from: £51.45
My favourite, most chilled-out album. Especially "Sea-side" by Max Melvin. The whole album really is like a journey through timelessness & space.
Moon SafariMoon Safari by Air
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £0.97
Everyone who loves lounge music will name Air as a favourite, but you have to agree they deserve it. Premiere Symptomes is also a great partner to this album & another one for beautiful starry nights.
MezzanineMezzanine by Massive Attack
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £1.42
Trip Hop with intensity & a bit of chill is how I would describe this album.
Inna Styles [Australian Import]Inna Styles [Australian Import] by Wicked Beat Sound System
Buy used from: £19.98
If you like Thievery Cooporation, then this album is probably just for you - only I think it's better...
When It FallsWhen It Falls by Zero 7
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £1.66
Beautifully warm, downbeat and cool.
Satie: Piano WorksSatie: Piano Works
Buy used from: £133.28
I love classical music & I'm not ashamed of it. I studied classical piano for many years & I love Satie's music because it was so simple, unique & yet so moving. It proves that classical can be cool
Recurring Dream: The Very Best Of Crowded HouseRecurring Dream: The Very Best Of Crowded House by Crowded House
Buy used from: £0.30
I was fortunate enough to get hold of the limited edition CD with bonus "live" CD. This is definitely my all time favourite album. I grew up with it & it always uplifts & makes me feel at home.
