(Shamen preview here) 2011 Grammys were on last night. I totally called who was gonna be Song of the Year.
Anyways.
I have said this before, it's hard to tell sometimes what makes some of these albums make the cut. I think that it has more to do with timing than anything really. The first album to do something - and it doesn't necessarily have to be super-awesome at it - is usually considered the groundbreaking album. So what we have here is an early 90s club banger. The songs are very house style (house techno), and from what I know the first album from the UK to really bring this kind of sound to the mainstream. I like it.
Favorite Songs:
666 Edit
Progen 91
Possible Worlds
Move Any Mountain (This song wasn't on the Book's list of songs, but when I downloaded it, it was added on as probably an after effect)
Album: The Virgin Suicides
Artist: Air
Release Year: 2000
"Seldom has sound and vision collided so gracefully as it did on Air's soundtrack for Sofia Coppola's directorial debut. The synergy between the images, which tell the tragic tale of five sisters with nothing to live for, and the French electronica duo's mesmerizing, drama-rish score is so great that it is impossible to imagine either existing without the other." - Jim Harrington
