Ambient Pop, Dream Pop

Blokes have removed to the way of paradise. Snow-white clouds, blue skies, it's not hard to find what you've been listening to stay alive on that heights. Ladies and Gentlemen, this is Cocteau Twins, this time your tickets are free traveling to land of dreams. There are many moments of sheer Cocteaus beauty and power, a classic record from early 90s, so what do you choose, Heaven or Las Vegas? Vollkommen!
Cocteau Twins - Heaven or Las Vegas

I've heard the whole new The White Stripes which regularly draws simple guitars, drums, and again guitars. I must admit that "Seven Nation Army" is their best single and work yet, I can't see such another amazing song on this album despite many hard-hitting guitars work on Jack White's impatient songwriting. The White Stripes love noises, unfortunately quite simple songs aren't memorable enough being a flawless garage rock or pop/rock record. Catch Hell Blues got my attention on first spin, and what I like most about the new record is a song named Conquest which is cover of a Corky Robbins song. Worth a spin.

Sometimes we look in a beautifully manner to the world, i think i'm living one of that moments right now. Or, it's just because of new The Beach Boys compilation, Disney Girls, why are you so beautiful? Nothing is better than discovering some one of a kind tune!

Harry Nilsson - I'll Never Leave You
This song from Nilsson Schmilsson which is a near-perfect summary of everything Nilsson could do. A dear friend of mine from The States suggested this record before. Love the song!

Nick Drake - Been Smokin' Too Long (From Family Three 2007)
The album contains home and cassette recordings that Drake made prior to the release of Five Leaves Left, most at his family home in Tamworth, while eight tracks from the fabled "Aix Tape" round out the collection. Two songs are included by Drake's mother Molly, that highlight how strong an influence his family had on him.

Von Sudenfed are a trio formed by Andi Thoma and Jan St Werner from Mouse On Mars and The Fall’s brilliant, anarchic frontman Mark E Smith. The first single ‘Fledermaus Can’t Get It’ is perfect presentation to Von Sudenfed -- opening "Tromatic Reflexxions" in a great way. Guardian calls this record delirious Teutonic techno coda. The track on it cite themselves as dancing of neon lights, taking Mouse on Mars unbelievably amazing sound combining with Mark E Smith's obsessive vocal. There are other great songs as well, this is so various, and I love interesting music!
MM picks: The Rhinohead, Serious Brainskin, That Sound Wiped

After two strong recordings The Pleasure Principle and Tubeway Army, Telekon was Gary Numan's best to admire his interesting music career starting of the lately 70s. Synths are speaking at the start of it with two massive Numan song The "Aircrash Bureau", "This Wreckage". And also two popular hit "I Die: You Die" and "We Are Glass" from Telekon, these are all great gifts for someone who wants to discover forceful vision of New Wave era in the early 80s, a synth pop classic.

The new single from the reunited Crowded House is "Don't Stop Now". Produced by Steve Lillywhite (U2, Morrissey) "Don't Stop Now" features the new Crowded House line-up - Neil Finn on guitars and vocals, Nick Seymour on bass guitar, Mark Hart on piano and harmony, and new recruit Matt Sherrod on drums - plus a guest appearance on guitar by the legendary Johnny Marr. As befits the "Don't Stop Now" is a melodic tour de force, a hook-filled gem that gets better with every listen.

It's a good to choice "Don't Stop Now" as first single, and i liked the new album "Time on Earth". On 2nd July, Crowded House will release 'Time On Earth', their first release in over 10 years. It's been an iridescent record! While i dig it more, you should check it out brand new single.
