Youngblood Brass Band / Center:Level:Roar (2003)

I'm back. Sorry, but there are some weeks when you really ask yourself why days have only 24 hours.

Well, let's talk about music and dance about architecture.

We all think that brass instruments are great. I have to admit that they have an energy that strings instruments haven't. Therefore, brass bands are also great. But isn't always like this. Maybe we associate brass band to national celebrations, old songs played every time in the same way, and things like this(well, I don't know if it's really like this that the most of the people sees brass bands, but I have to write something so please forgive me).

Wouldn't be very GREAT a brass band playing new, modern, groovy songs?

The god of brass had listen to your wishes.

The answer is Youngblood Brass Band. And is a very loud answer.

You have what you wished: new, ultra-groovy songs, with brass instruments! Really, is impossible not to MOVE, MOVE, MOVE and get ultra-excited while listening to their freaky drummer(that we can also hear on the precedently posted Cougar's record). Believe me. Oh, and maybe you would like some rapping, some INTELLIGENT rapping, over this music. Well, is all inside this album.

Just. Listen.

And support these guys, that are also active in schools for spreading love for music.

Various Artists / Jet Set Radio OST (2000)

Another thing I'm really getting into are soundtracks.

I started listening more watching films, because you can find some really great music inside them. But movies are not the only source for soundtracks.

You know, japanese people, together with other billions things, are very good in making videogames. Well, they are equally good in making videogames soundtracks.

I think this is one of the best examples.

The game is just FANTASTIC: settled in the future, you are part of a crew of writers that use magnetic rollerblades that can grind on EVERYTHING for move themselves. In this cel-shading world, you have to do mainly two things: GRAFFITI and escape from police.

Now, what's the best music for getting away from these policemen? Surely are GREAT HYPER ELECTRONIC JAP-FUNKY BOUNCY BEATS. No alternatives. Really, there's nothing better, try if you can.

Well, inside you can find also some rock tracks, probably from the NTSC version. But the real concept is the one explained above.

WARNING: you may really enjoy yourself A LOT listening to this music. Pay attention if you want to remain sad.

A little preview for you

Beef Wellington / Feel Fantabulous (2002)

Prepare for a mystical travel in time today. We go back to 2002 for discovering this album.

Beef Wellington is a producer, and I can't find more infos on him. But all you need to know is in his work.

This album is a perfetc mixture of jazz, soul and bouncy funk sound and rhythm, united toghether in very modern and original ways, seasoned with great rapped parts by various artists. You can't find a single wrong beat in here, and I'm sure you will appreciate this album even if you don't like rap, because this CD is much more than classic hip hop.

Really, you WANT listen to this album.
