Happy Nation by Ace of Base
Listen to The Sign
I have returned! Time to bring it back with some classics. To be honest, my favourite song by Ace of Base is Beautiful Life, which isn't on this album. However, I felt that since this was their best selling album and featured The Sign, as well as All That She Wants - I'd listen to this album instead. After listening to the popular singles, the rest of the album felt quite repetitive. I can see how I would've loved this album way back when (fifteen years ago?), but now it just doesn't cut it. Sometimes it felt like the background music was identical across a couple of tracks. The album also featured some remixes at the end, but I didn't particularly care for any of them. I'll still continue to appreciate their singles.

I'm not dead yet!
Forgive the lack of updates, haven't been feeling too great and I might be out of town for a few days. Look for me in the new week month!

The Resistance by Muse
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AtZV5XdfqrI
I really do enjoy the albums Absolution and Black Holes and Revelations by Muse. Somehow I didn't feel that this album was up to par. There was a lot of piano to be heard, which was a real joy. I need to give this album another couple of listens before I can really say how I feel about The Resistance. Uprising is a pretty good song and I hope after listening to the album again that I'll be able to find some more gems.

Devil May Cry Anime Soundtrack by Rungran
Listen to Future In My Hands
I stumbled across Future In My Hands by accident on Youtube. To be honest, I didn't know there was a Devil May Cry anime until now. Unfortunately, I heard it wasn't too great and that's a shame considering I'm a fan of a couple of the games in the series. Anyways onto the music. While the soundtrack consists of different mood-setting instrumentals, there are a lot of very catchy tunes on this soundtrack. Definitely check out the soundtrack but don't expect many songs with vocals. As for the anime, if it's any good - let me know!

Mingus Ah Um by Charles Mingus
Listen to Goodbye Pork Pie Hat
Sorry I'm a bit late posting today (or should I say yesterday). Haven't been feeling too great lately so don't be surprised if my posts are a bit late this week. The amount of jazz I listen to is a bit lacking, but so far everything I've heard has been astounding. I don't think there's anything more relaxing than kicking back to some Charles Mingus. Listening to Mingus Ah Um relaxes the soul, all I need to do now is find the perfect drink to go with it. Please post your suggestions in the comments section!

Discovery by Electric Light Orchestra
Listen to Don't Bring Me Down
Also listen to Last Train to London
Disco Very indeed! I'm afraid I'm going to have to link two songs for you guys to listen to - too hard to choose one when both of these songs make me want to boogie. Alas the end of ELO week, my God they are amazing. Thankfully there are many more ELO albums for me to explore so expect another ELO week in the future! The songs I've linked to this past week are phenomenal, please check them all out. I'm starting to think I was born in the wrong generation. I need to get my disco on and the 70s are where I belong! Here's to good music people!
