My Favourite Music
We Love MusicWe Love Music by International Pony
Buy new: £5.68 / Used from: £1.04
"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: £5.73 / Used from: £3.97
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
Buy used from: £33.27
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 Avalanches
Buy new: £7.22 / Used from: £2.00
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 Rinocerose
Buy new: £4.45 / Used from: £1.80
Rock meets French House, what more can I say? have a listen...
Death By ChocolateDeath By Chocolate by De Phazz
Buy used from: £4.99
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: £7.99
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: £3.96 / Used from: £3.95
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: £36.05
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: £3.98 / Used from: £1.92
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: £6.47 / Used from: £1.81
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: £4.75 / Used from: £4.08
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: £7.98 / Used from: £3.69
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: £3.95
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.
Mirrorball: Greatest Hits LiveMirrorball: Greatest Hits Live by Sarah McLachlan
Buy new: £8.37 / Used from: £0.80
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: £6.31 / Used from: £3.99
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: £4.98 / Used from: £3.93
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: £199.06
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: £2.04
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.
Mezzanine: Limited EditionMezzanine: Limited Edition by Massive Attack
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £1.98
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

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: £7.98 / Used from: £2.49
Beautifully warm, downbeat and cool.
Satie: Piano WorksSatie: Piano Works
Buy used from: £109.19
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 new: £40.00 / Used from: £0.94
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.
