...offbeat path, but considering they stopped working together for eight years afterwards i'd say they considered their chemistry had been used up and they went looking for inspiration elsewhere For now this concludes my 4 part special on Cluster and friends, 12 albums some sure made musical history and changed the way electronic music was...

Free and legal downloads from Cloud Cult, Shelley Short, and Morning State

2008-03-24 21:42:00 by Jeremy in Fingertips
 
...Offbeat, earnest, eventually anthemic chamber pop from one of indie rock's quirkiest outfits, the Minneapolis-based Cloud Cult. Assembled in the middle of the '90s to support singer/songwriter Craig Minowa's ambitious songs, Cloud Cult solidified into a band through the end of the decade and began, with the new century, to record...

2008-05-12 00:42:00 by Unusual Music in Fauni Gena
...offbeat, rhythmic track with various bits of broadcast news reports in an assortment of languages fading in and out. That pretty much sets the pace for the album which is decidedly avant-garde. From WikiPedia: Instrumentation on the album includes electronics, voice, guitar, and flute, all of which are credited to both Moebius & Plank. Can...

2008-06-16 08:38:12 by Editor in Progarchives.com (Progressive rock and related latest reviews)
...offbeat funky offbeat pattern. Boz sings variously with evil charm and bluesy grunt - easily his best vocal performance. The Beatlesque harmonies of the chorus are well-documented Then we have Song of the Gulls. It's pure classical, and not an especially good example of the genre - unoriginal and uninspired The long title track that closes...

...offbeat instrumentation of their career. Go Go opens with Blessed Brambles, perhaps one of Múms most driving and [dare I say?] catchy numbers. This first track sets the mood for a somewhat more accessible, somewhat bouncier Múm engagement. Summer Make Good emphasized the fragile, often terrifying vocal presence of singer Kristín Anna...

...offbeat indie music. And since I haven't posted anything pop-related for a while, I think it's apt that I weigh in my thoughts on some of the most important pop releases in recent weeks Firstly, the Roisin Murphy album 'Overpowered'. Undoubtedly, the first two singles are killer, however, in an album context, it seems she isn't fully...
