Staff Benda Bilili - Très Très Fort

First to recommend

Description

Benda Bilili means "look beyond appearances" - literally: "put forward what is hidden"

Staff Benda Bilili are like nothing you have ever seen or heard before. A group of paraplegic street musicians who live in and around the grounds of the zoo in Kinshasa, Congo, they make music of astonishing power and beauty. The band's mesmerising rumba-rooted grooves, overlaid with vibrant vocals, remind you at times of Cuban nonchalance, at other times of the Godfather of Soul himself. You can hear echoes of old-school rhythm and blues, then reggae, then no-holds barred funk.

Four senior singer/guitarists sitting on spectacularly customized tricycles, occasionally dancing on the floor of the stage, arms raised in joyful supplication, are the core of the band, backed by a younger, all-acoustic, rhythm section pounding out tight beats. Over the top of this are weird, infectious guitar-like solos performed by a 17 year-old prodigy on a one-string electric lute he designed and built himself out of a tin can.

My all time favorite Playing Cards this year. It's so much nicer to play with this deck, the illustrations of whimsical cats will make you smile, lower you blood pressure, and maybe help you to live longer.

La Roux: La Roux

First to recommend

2 people recommended this item

Description

I thought I'd be ammune to pop music by now, but no. La Roux came up from behind and took me by surprise.

It was "Bulletproof" that hit me. La Roux's self titled album contains the essence of 80's New Wave, featuring synth sequences that would fit in songbooks of Blancmange, The Human League, Dead or Alive and Eurythmics.

I think La Roux would have been huge back in the dance era of the Thompson Twins and Thomas Dolby, but I'm happy they are part of a new dance explosion bent on geminating fans of Tecktonik (TCK), Electro Dance, Milky Way, Vertigo, and anything post-Emo.

The Beatles Remastered, Rediscovered: Boxset

First to recommend

Description

Normally I would only recommend one album at a time, but in this case I know every album is a masterpiece.

The albums have been remastered at EMI's Abbey Road Studios in London, resulting in the highest fidelity the catalogue has seen since its original release. Each of the CDs are packaged with replicated UK album art, expanded booklets with original and newly written liner notes, and rare photos. For a limited period, each CD will also be embedded with a brief documentary film about the album.
