What do people think of Tori's new one , Strange Little Girls? have to say i was a bit disappointed. Boys for Pele is my fav, but hey are all quite good. Some of the more downbeat PJ Harvey songs have a similar sound too.

I agree with Beagle. His old stuff is a bit on the dodgy trance side, but his newer more commercial stuff is a bit better. I dont think he's either a genius or talent-free. I did have to laugh when Russell Crowe accosted him and accused him of being an evil egotist. Pots and kettles?

Not really into D&B. More trip-hop like other guys have said. But try LTJ Bukem and DJ Shadow. The Unkle album is great. I love Lamb, but they are more 'melodic' d&b. female lyrics over d&b music. great combination. better than it sounds!

Dont know much about blues. Miles Davis is a pretty sound start for jazz... Kind of Blue or Birth of the Cool. Any Blue Note by the likes of Nina Simone too

So Solid Crew? That's got at least 20 members.... sorry poor joke

West Side Story is good. But I think the best is Les Mis. Fantastic Music.

Chemical Brothers - Surrender. appalling production

Gomez - perfect blend of musicians with great lyrics Lamb. yummy. fantastic vocals blended with lots of mint sauce and chilled music

Portishead - Live in NYC. fantastic chill out album

I thought the Kings of Convenience were more like Belle and Sebestian than dance? Is the remix album more dancey? I got hold of the Royksopp album a couple of weeks ago. It had a few nice moments, but failed to make immediate impact. Maybe it'll be a grower... Till then I'll stick to Lamb
