BASS CLEF - A Smile Is A Curve That Straightens Most Things

If your are into the dubstep sound. It's much more than just dubstep though.
For a debut this album is really impressive.

Tool - 10000 Days

Not the best album ever, but a good headphone album with soft lyrics and tech lil guitar bits.

AIR - POCKET SYMPHONY (out soon)

the first of them which really does it for me. listened to it when coming home after a long party, and it guided me to sleep in a very very nice way.

robbmasters & other CSS fans-

I've been cutting together a big DJ set, and I recently chopped up CSS's "Music Is My Hot Hot Sex". I love that song, but I don't like that intro tweezed-out guitar part AT ALL. Luckily, with Live, I just loop the kick and snare and cut right over to Lovefoxx's first verse from there. That song is bound to be a club classic, it just needs a little help.

And, of course, if you have a chance to see CSS play live, attendance is manditory! Your socks will melt off.

strange. css were one of my great dissappointments in 2006. everyone hyped it above and i really hoped it would blow me, but listening to it this was just fake, lame standard dancepop.

I can understand this. My first taste of CSS was seeing them play live, and they totally totally rocked. They did that super rare rare thing where you see an act play live-- and you feel more alive just from watching them. I got the album next and it was totally different from the live show. But I really dug it because I understand the passion behind the band.

I'm not saying they have reinvented music with their album. I'm not saying they have pushed the envelope of sound to the next level. I just think they're great, they're full of life. With a little tweaking some of their songs can really spice up a DJ set.

Okay... okay... they're hot Brazilian chicks, and I cannot deny their power. That's not the only reason I like them. They really do rock live. Their lyrics are great. But yeah, it doesn't hurt that the lead singer Lovefoxx is the hottest thing on the planet.
