Common Breezy 'n' bumpin' rap with a soulful beat and a bevy of guest
stars including Lauryn Hill (of The Fugees), De La Soul, Erykah
Badu and Tariq (of The Roots). Ivy Head-bopping strummy pop that updates the '60s Brill Building
sound by way of The Primitives. Get out your hairbrush and get
ready to sing along. Liquid Liquid A collection of seminal recordings from the rhythm-driven New
York no-wave group that inspired the sound of Grandmaster Flash's
hit "White Lines." If there's such a thing as "art funk" this
is it. Moviola Raucous and dreamy indie rock that layers pining harmonies atop
screechy and sloppy guitar parts. It'll bring you back to the
golden era of early-'90s lo-fi. X-ecutioners This group of hip-hop DJs sets a new standard for scratching -
to say they've got madd skillz on the steel wheels is an understatement. Asia Yes, that infamous 1990 recording of Asia live in England is finally
available again. There is, um, a God. Audio Adrenaline Audio Adrenaline? Chuh, more like Sonic Sewage. Enya "The Best of Enya" - oxymoron of the month. Celine Dion Let's talk about schlocky, overproduced torch songs. Duran Duran All right, Duran Duran's recent album of cover songs, Thank You, already proved they'd run out of original ideas. Meddazzaland's third-rate disco just belabors the point.
