New At Tunes: A Nation Mourns... |
Greetings,
Chart topping boy band Busted have decided to split. The
divvy three-piece will be best remembered for pulling open-
mouthed expressions of playful rebellion while jumping into
the air, tucking their legs up under their arses. "We're
sorry the fans had to find out through the papers; we wanted
to tell them ourselves," lamented bassist James Bourne.
Unfortunately, it appears that the decision to throw in the
nappy was made after 8.30 on a school night - well past cocoa
time for the vast majority of their audience.
"I've had the most amazing three years," said frontman
and designated biter of the feeding hand Charlie Simpson, 4,
who is looking forward to flashing in the pan for anywhere
between 8 and 10 minutes with his new band, On The Sausage,
before pursuing a career in reality TV.
##ALBUM OF THE WEEK##
>>Not The Nextmen: Live From The Newsroom - The Nextmen<<
Brad Baloo and Dom Search capitalise on the huge sucess of
their 'Personal Golf Instructions' mix with another set of
new tunes, tasty remixes, classic cuts and one-off mash-ups,
all spliced in their irresistible, full-tilt dancefloor style.

##ALBUMS##
>>Rewind! 4 - Various<<

>>Nobody's Perfect mixed by Andrea Parker - Various<<

>>The Sound Of One Hand Clapping (Version 2.5) - Dobie<<
A lost classic, originally released on Howie B's Pussyfoot
label back in 1998 but missed out by many due to poor
distribution. Way ahead of it's time hip hop with some
shining vocal collaborations.
http://www.tunes.co.uk/tunes/featured/9566.html

>>Salsoul presents: Philly Soul Flavas - Various<<

where it all started, with veteran Philly musicians working
out of the Sigma Sound Studios in the mid 1970s, backing a
breathtaking array of talent
http://www.tunes.co.uk/tunes/featured/9578.html
>>Electropunk - Various<<
A decent round-up of gear that slots into the genre, although
leaning more towards the electro side than some of the more
aggressive tunes out there.
http://www.tunes.co.uk/tunes/featured/9579.html
>>Shout Bamalama - Mickey Murray<<
One of the most underrated Southern soul talents on the SSS
label during the company's early '70s glory years, so this
collection of his recordings is long overdue.

>>Strings Of Life - Soul Central feat. Kathy Brown<<
Soul Central's arrangement of the Derrick May classic bounces
back with a new angle - the addition of Kathy Brown's diva
vocal on top. Bound to be massive.

>>Listen To The Hiss (The Final Mixes by Peter Kruder) - Hell
feat. Alan Vega<<
A fusion of DJ Hell's dynamically demanding electro approach
