Electric Laser People - Straight Talk on Raising Kids


Time for a kind of weird band, but they are ridiculously good. I can't describe them so I'll let last.fm do that for you.

“Electric Laser People take on old-school rap style in a whimsical manner by draping absurd lyrics over minimal electronic sound effects and guitar crunches, like a sonic merging of Ratatat and Licensed to Ill.”
- All Music Guide / Billboard.com

“1980s inspired dance rock with a good beat and hooks a crowd can sing too.”
- Boston Globe

“… innovative lyrics that look into the lives of teenagers.”
- BostonNOW

Oh, and they are tagged as "dirty water music, the dise, indierave" which is kind of intimidating. I swear, they are good.

Oh... and they give their album for free which is always a bonus

ATB - Addicted To Music

It's hard finding good trance these days. New age trance isn't embraced as much as more popular genres like electro and hard dance. For this reason, I have for this week decided to upload the most recent album from André Tanneberge, or ATB for short. Famous mostly for the success of the track 9pm (till I come) this album illustrates that ATB still has what it takes to make good music. It's a very soft, ambient piece, but it picks up on songs Everything is Wrong and Sunset Girl. Collaborating with Roberta Harrison gives a rather sombre tone to the album that creates a feeling of longing for something more, perhaps suggesting ATB's journey in the music industry is far from over.

Sneaky Sound System - Sneaky Sound System

I promised myself to get an album up this week, and fortunately this album was a lot easier to upload than previous ones. This is Sydney electro band Sneaky Sound System, who became popular when the lead singer began hosting the Australian music show, Video Hits. Their first album is a funky piece that's good for getting in the mood for the harder techno if, like me, you go clubbing on a regular basis.
