La Floa Maldita – Salut Jacques
Track Listing: Stay, Secrets & Dreams, Rain of Gold, Silence, For You, Blue Moments, Querox, Salut jacques, Liason Fatale, Chanson D’amour, Seek for You.
Everything we’ve grown to love about this duo; swirly, soaring vocals and an ethereal dance beat. The double disk set includes the album and a special DVD. Finally released in the U.S. by WTII.
Vampire Nation – Dead City Diary
Track Listing: Let Them Eat Cake, Web, Crawl, Poison, Bite, The Whip, Final Curtain, Bury, Needle, The Snag, Entrapment, Dead City, Wounded The Snare, Entanglement, Vein.
Don’t let the band name turn you off. (I know the “v” word can evoke its share of cheesiness.) Dead City Diary is a lush combination of dark electronic and worldly fusion. The musical influences are varied spices in these soundscapes, imbued with a subtle, angsty power. For more information, check out www.vampirenation.us
Cocteau Twins – The Pink Opaque
Track Listing: The Spangle Maker, Millimillenary, Wax And Wane, Hitherto, Pearly-Dewdrops’ Drops, From The Flagstones, Aikea-Guinea, Lorelei, Pepper-Tree, Musette And Drums.
This is an old favourite that I had to mention since I have been listening to it quite a bit recently. Apparently, it is a really difficult album to get on CD, and still remains my favourite Cocteau Twins album of all time. It always reminds me of standing in the snow, face to the sky, letting the flakes gently kiss me.
