80s (?) version of 20s folkloric ... spooky, nice organs,  hope you enjoy x



Skepticism is overruled on this jumpin' 'n' pumpin' remix.  If the house piano and the James Brown sample weren't enough, you'll be doing yourself a great favor by making it to the 3:00 mark when the song crossed over the event horizon and is pulled apart on the atomic level... and then re-assembled on the other side.

Psychedelic / Trance / Soul from UK. a little slow but i love it! don't you?

Ninamartine with Zingone. Norwegian/French electro.

found it on a facebook group. think it was on some french/belgian blogs last year. the original appears to have been released between 73-77. sounds like a pilooski edit. apart from that i know nothing. sorry that's not very descriptive..

1970's nigerian rock; great organ, nicely repetitive vocals, dancey rhythm...7-8 minutes long....



Something a bit more cerebal. A cover of o John Cale song based on a Henrik Ibsen play about an 'heroic feminist Hamlet' not an imediately appealing start to a write up but bare with it. Apparently the singer, Tony Wakefield, (whose voice I really like, a bit Robert Wyatt I think)Has a VERY checkered past. see:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tony_Wakeford#Pre-Sol_Invictus_W ork
Again, I know this aint looking good on paper, but trust me its a great track..

No.4. in a sporadic series of favourite basslines. Dumb as f**k. But 100% effective.
There was a reasn why I didn't post this weeks ago but I'll be buggered if I can remember why today, so stuff it, up it goes. It's not as if anyone else's playing..

a great song by arthur russell...a little "dancier" than a little lost, etc...

Lots of reverb. An asymmetrical dubstep sort of rhythm. Loud and dark.

A fix of pure POP that I suspect has pushed me into a period of dependency that will inevitably end in an OD and a rehab backlash. Still, right now my eyes are rolling in my skull.. mmmnnnnugh....

I've been listening to lots of disco (nu, cosmic, italo, blah blah) stuff of late and this aeroplane remix is absolutely delicious. Aeroplane's eponymous track from last year was one of my faves, i just love their production and what they've done with this already great soulwax product pop record is absolutely spine tingling. 10x10x10x10x10x...

1982 ish. doo-wop electro. recorded on the same night as planet rock using the same backing track - Read this user review on discogs



This, my first upload in far too long, was inspired by the wonderfull CBS top 100 which like last years top 100 looks like being my sole playlist for the next few months. This track, just one of many great entries in this years list, is gorgeous, warm, vocoded electro - can't get enough of those melancholy robots!

Well, seeing as I mentioned it: Swedish guitarpop from 2006 and i mean Swedish guitarpop in the best possible sense of the words. ;)

As we soon leave the sinking ship of 2007, here's to hoping Gabba is not, and that it still has a lot of great music to bring us in 2008. Also, I am sure that it will always be a whole lot 'cooler than thou' :)

This is from the wonderful Fun While It Lasted part 2 compilation, where you will find many other twee indie pop gems.
