How to describe this type of music is probably the most difficult part about loving it. Operatic jazzy rock with some Tom Waits on a gypsy caravan. Great music for chilling out, or as background at a dark, moody, chit-chat party with red lighting, comfy large pillows, and hey, chips and dip is always good too!
I'm not really into this electronic euro music (I can't believe it hasn't died out after all these year in popularity there) but it sounds pretty pop and could be a dance hit in the clubs.
I very much enjoyed the album as a whole. I feel that this album is a complete entity rather than a collection of individual songs that have little connection to one another, as so many albums are like these days. The flow of one song to the next is well done.
I just went to the public library the other day, scooped up about 15 albums that I was interested in, all by major artists, and none tickled my fancy -- all lacklustre and boring, yet here I listen to Ben's Imaginary Band's album and, hey, it's really good and worth listening to many times over; a breath of fresh.
I couldn't choose a favourite song as I'm enjoying the whole album so much that to extract a song here and there as being more favourable than the others would merely detract from the entire effort.
Starts off as an album you'd think will go on and on with the same song one after the other, but turns out to be more varied. I did wonder when listening how much was original music and how much was not. I still wonder.
I think the cover art is great. Looks much better than most of the in-store albums from he big labels.
I have very diverse musical tastes and love the chance to check out original music on jamendo. I have music on vinyl, CD, tape, mp3... I really like the nostalgia and mechanical fun of vinyl and the sound is good too.
I love to go hiking, but enjoy and am adept at nearly all sports and outdoor activities; any excuse to get me outside. I trained intensively as a bicycle racer for a good fifteen years; it's my passion. I'm no stranger to pushing my physical/mental limits. I'm told that I'm very outgoing and an extrovert. I am a single father of two wonderful girls who; they live with me half of the time. I have strong beliefs and idealisms and strive towards them. I pride myself on being very diverse.
I believe life is short; time goes by far too quickly; I just want to relax, have fun, and get the most out of life. I'd like to find someone who feels the same way; and avoid those that are addicted to being stressed-out or making a soap opera about nothing in general. I want to be happy, have good times, and laughs. I'm not interested in being an 'adult' (i.e. everything is serious business, and cartoons are for kids, and work/money is the most important thing in life). Sure, I do my accounting, pay the bills, and so forth, but that doesn't mean I can't be silly and goofy and play.
I'm very much into music, films, reading, eco-stuff (homes, cars, products, etc.), drawing, art, anything outdoors, writing, cooking (and eating quality food), natural medicine, fitness, exercise, squash, badminton, Shorinji Kenpo, ... and anything enjoyable.
I'm vegan and became so for reasons of athletic performance, then over time for additional reasons. Hey, single vegan females~! don't be shy, say hi.
