It’s A Jungle Out There…
Gaznevada - Living In The Jungle (Jungle Mix) (MP3)
Released in 1985 on the Italian EMI label, ‘Living In The Jungle’ was somewhat of a big hit for these guys. The track is pretty much everything you would expect; tribal chants, jungle sounds, and of course, shit loads of synthesisers. Not quite up there with ‘I.C […]

Gabriella Cilmi - Sweet About Me (MP3) (Track removed by request - or more like track removed by threatening letter to hosting company from IFPI who obviously don’t like their artists being spoken about on the internet)
Something of a brief interlude to my protracted and unfashionably late review of 2007 by way of the song […]
So That Was 2007 Part IV
Trans Am - First Words (MP3)
I hadn’t picked up on Trans Am before I picked up on ‘First Words’ from the ‘Sex Change’ album the three gents in question released last year. Whilst the album as a whole is not bad, it’s more than a little schizophrenic and doesn’t quite fulfil for me the promise […]
Getting A Little Nervous?
Frank Maya & The Decals - Too Nervous (MP3)
Something I downloaded from Midnight Mike’s currently “on-hiatus” blog 12am Maternal a while back, and have had on constant repeat ever since, this is a piece of post-punk which is perfect for those of you looking for something as equally as good (but a little more […]
So That Was 2007 Part III
Jens Lekman - Your Arms Around Me (MP3)
Swedish big girl’s blouse Jens Lekman’s ‘Night Falls Over Kortedala’ wouldn’t have been in my end of year chart had we gotten around to putting together the fabled Best Foot Forward 2007 Round-Up last November or whenever it was going to be. Why? Because I only got a […]
Step Around This Movin’ Sound…
Paul Hardcastle - Movin’ Sound (MP3)
British born Paul Hardcastle is best known for one thing; his Vietnam inspired recording ‘19‘. Personally, I don’t really know much about his other work, apart from that he was in the “fake LFO” (as opposed to the real deal - the Warp affiliated LFO)…
Anyway, I found this record a […]
So That Was 2007 Part II
Barbara & Ernie - Play With Fire (MP3)
The best re-issue of 2007? Well that might just possibly be Barbara & Ernie’s Prelude To…
Ignored upon its initial release in 1971, it’s rarity and downright ace-ness pretty much ensured it became one of those ridiculously rare, and of course stupidly priced, records much sought-after by the Psych […]
So That Was 2007 Part I
Talking Drums - Courage (MP3)
And we had it all planned out: clever categories, highlights from a year’s worth of only-amusing-to-us musical anecdotes, celebrity contributions and oh so much more. It was going to be amazing, it was going to be the Best Foot Forward End Of Year Round-Up. But all the down-time, and the down-time-induced […]
Who got The Funk…? Tumblack Got The Funk!
Tumblack - Chunga Funk (MP3)
With a line up that reads, Yves Hayat (The Droids), Sauveur Malia (Arpadys, Voyage, Tele Music), Pierre Alain Dahan (Arpadys, Voyage, Tele Music), Marc Chantereau (Arpadys, Voyage, Tele Music), and a one track guest appearance from Wally Badarou (on Chunga Funk), this LP has got winner written all over it…
Released on […]
So, You Wanna Be In The Movies
MAI - Like In A Film (MP3)
Not to be confused with M.I.A., MAI is Swedish born Johanna Wedin working with The Teenagers’ Dorian Dumont and Bang Gang’s Bardi Johannson. Based in Paris where they met, The Teenagers’ Dorian Dumont and Bang Gang’s Bardi Johannson. Based in Paris where they met, Les Inrockuptibles picked them out […]
