Mayer Hawthorne - How Do You Do

New Motown. The walk is my favorite. Check out the one featuring Snoop Dog.

Labi Siffre - Remember My Song

One of the first indie artists, I feel. From the 1970's, this guy still has a whole bunch of modern sounding tracks. Kind of ahead of his time, really.

The Hunter - Mastodon

Mastodon is one of my favorite rock artists. Dealing in heavy metal, their music is reminiscent of Uriah Heap. A kind of poetic/prose accompanied by manliness. A bit more stripped down and riff-oriented than their previous albums.

Erik Satie: Piano Works - Erik Satie

Erik Satie is a personal favorite of mine. His songs, I feel, are a bit like impressionistic paintings, but in music form. The emotion is definitely the main focus of each song. The unusual timing of each peace is also interesting. It is also difficult what is going to happen next, yet it all sounds very natural.

Deep Forest - Deep Forest

Electronic world music. Lot's of nice influence coming together as one. It's a very natural techno. Fun to listen to at night.

Yellow Ostrich - The Mistress

I've been following this band for a while now. I bought the vinyl record for him. It has a real nice, guy in a bedroom making music because he loves it, and he's pretty good at it, even if he is unorthodox feel to it. My favorite song by far is "Whale", but everything else makes me smile as well.

Suenos - The Missing Parts

What genre is this? Acoustic hardcore folk/classical bluegrass? I don't know. It sounds classic and gothic at the same time. I'm not sure how to interpret it, but it sure as hell does sound good. I can't imagine the production that must have gone into making this album.
