2008-04-04 20:04:00 by trill42 in Kofi's hat
...pleasingly eclectic or a jumbled, odd mishmash. Let's compromise and call it a pleasingly odd mishmash. The idea was initially a playlist including songs with "yes", "no", and/or "maybe" in the title. It developed into an indecision playlist centered around romantic indecision. Alas, that shift left out some great yes/no/maybe songs that...

...pleasingly funky moods, tones, and texturesslow, fast, ever changing within one composition, you get it all wrapped into one tight package that will impress you and make you wonder why you have not heard of this guy Andy Rothstein before.

...Pleasingly eccentric R&B vocals (about turning into a dribbling fool in front of a crushadmit it, you can relate) over classic 80's synth trills. Eventually, I hunted down the original. And although the vocals are still charmingly oddball and the synths still classic, it was somehow wrong. The slower tempo and the longer running time (6:05...

2007-12-19 09:56:00 by XMP in It's Coming Out Of Your Speaker
...pleasingly big booming sound. Sibbles' lyrics are to the fore and each song has a dub plate companion. The songs alternate between mushy romanticism ("Crying over you") and politically conscious ones ("Mr President").

...Pleasingly its the new tracks which are even more impressive. Submarino is fluid, rhythmicand Latin-inflected rather like Mice Parade, Blue Like You, assisted by theheart-wrenching vocals of Emma Ejwertz, is dreamily atmospheric and the finale Tanque has enough key changes and swing to keep the most challenging of modern jazz fans...
