Sneaker Pimps - Splinter

Splinter is the second full studio album from Sneaker Pimps. Released in 1999, Splinter is the first release from the band without Kelli Dayton singing lead vocals; she was replaced by founding band member Chris Corner.

The sound of the album was a great change from their first album. Most notably it was a darker sound which favored acoustic guitars and dark lyrics.

Many fans consider the album to widely underrated with poor sales and very little media or critical attention.

The cover of the album features the back of Chris' head. He had previously not felt up to the responsibility of being a 'front man' but has since gone on to embrace this through IAMX.

Waldeck - Ballroom Stories

Sometimes described as trip-hop Waldeck's songs have a very calm and laidback theme. They often consist of mellow vocals sung either by Joy Malcolm or Brian Amos (although sometimes they consist of only Waldeck's instrumentals). While some people have mixed feelings towards the male-female vocal fluctuations, others feel that they offer versatility in the sound while still maintaining the unique style of his music.

Chris Cornell Unplugged in Sweden

Incredible sounding solo acoustic show with a very interesting set list. I dug Soundgarden for many years, but have long since let them to rest, and never did get into Audioslave. However, I’ve always enjoyed Cornell’s music and he proves why he is one of the great hard rock singers right here.

The set has definitely been edited as their are breaks between songs that have definitely been cut out, but as far as I can tell it is the complete show.

Thom York - Feeling Pulled Apart by Horses

"Feeling Pulled Apart by Horses" and "The Hollow Earth" are songs by Thom Yorke, released as a double A-side 12-inche single on 21 September 2009, and scheduled for a download release on 6 October 2009. The vinyl was limited to 8000 copies worldwide.

Yorke revealed the release through Radiohead's online blog, "Dead Air Space", and commented that the songs are released "loosely" under his name. The first song, "Feeling Pulled Apart by Horses", was written and performed by Yorke with Radiohead guitarist Jonny Greenwood out of a song Yorke reported to have started working on at his home in 2001, and which has been played live twice—once in 2001, as a full-band "snarling metal" song and once acoustically in 2005. "The Hollow Earth" is newer by comparison, described as a "bass menace" coming out of the sessions for The Eraser.

The Dreamers

The Dreamers are an Anglo/Swedish duo featuring Sarah Nyberg Pergament and Kevin Wright. Sarah has previously recorded as Action Biker and Kevin as Always and Mr. Wright.  Meeting at a Swedish music festival in 2004 the pair began by writing a song “Petit Nuage” in late 2005. Encouraged by this an album began taking shape being recorded mostly in London with Sarah’s vocals being sent from Stockholm and Helsinki. The record is now finished and titled “Day for Night”. Top Swedish label Friendly Noise released it on October 2007. The band made their live debut at the Luminaire in London and more shows followed in Scandanavia. 

The Dreamers influences combine many disparate elements including jazz pop and soundtrack music. Although the music is often melancholic the Dreamers hope to make (to paraphrase Michel Legrand speaking of Tom Jobim) “the sad music that makes the world a better place.”

(My song recommended for this album is Petit Nuage and So Near So Far)

The success of the single in the UK was due largely to its use in a promotional trailer for Radio 1 across all of the BBC TV channels prior to the single’s release. ‘Crazy’ stayed at #1 for almost 9 weeks.

The buzz for “Crazy” helped generate a lot of press coverage of their debut album, St. Elsewhere, which was released on May 9, 2006.

Their new album The Odd Couple was released March 18, 2008.
