Vacation tunes

Hi y'all, hows it goin? Greetings from Paris. I presume your summers have been fruitful and funfilled thusfar, as mine has proven to be quite interesting at least. In any case I'm sure you don't care and are here for the music (since if you were really interested in my summer you would know to check here and here).

So we begin with MountainTrance 005, a compilation I downloaded on a whim since I usually don't like trance. But this one was listed as progressive and tech trance ('oooh big difference' I'm sure some of you are saying), and that was enough. Surprisingly my leap of faith was rewarded with this most pleasing mix. Big up to Yonsame for yet again providing great stuff.

1.- Michael Cassette - Winter
2.- And if - Finest Dream (Manuel Tur Instrumental Remix)
3.- Deeper Sublime - August (Original Mix)
4.- Incognet - Wonder Alley (Original Mix)
5.- Kubilay Yksk - Emotion (Original Mix)
6.- Aleksey Beloozerov - Rain Man
7.- DJ Sarmek - Baby's Toys (Cagan Nazlioglu Remix)
8.- Oliver Koletzki - Since You Are Gone
9.- Stan Kolev - Get There (The Quasar's Remix)
10.- Paul Keeley - Trans Am (Original Mix)
11.- A - Xus-Suite Disappointment (Motorcitysoul Remix)

I figured a few tunes I chose on my own would be in order, but these are kinda old (I was planing on posting them before I left, over two weeks ago) but you know how traveling and wine can be so here ya go:

Thunder - Vanesty

Killer (Original Mix) - Jean Elan

Lamur - Guy J

Speak (Original Mix) - Ee-Sma

As usual these are all highly recommended must-download tunes; If you don't I will find you and force them upon you.

just kidding, enjoy

Flunk - This Is What You Get (2009)

Finally! Flunk came out with their sixth studio album, This Is What You Get. What? You are not excited? You should be. I may be biased, as I have been a Flunk fan for a long time, but this release has exceeded all my expectations. The clever Norwegians normally fall into sleepy-breezy-lo-fi electronica range, with their dreamy rhythms and almost shoegazing feel, and melodies almost dissolving in the air. Now, however, having almost completely reinvented themselves, Flunk play steady. Strong beats, clear melodies, and Anja Oyen Vister's Björk-like vocals may not be finger-snapping, feet-tapping material, but they will definitely set the rhythm. Well... in a relaxing way. Some songs I would even classify as trip-hop. So obviously I'm not promising Alex Gopher or anything, but if it's late and you need to relax after all that dancing, or if it's a rainy day and you feel semi-energetic, this is the stuff. Oh, and did I mention that there is an awesome cover of Radiohead's "Karma Police"? That's right.

A couple of songs to help you make up your mind:

Cigarette Burns

and

Karma Police

Full album here.
