note to self: never doubt mr. alan cheng's taste in music.

so i'm looking for some music that can kinda serve as a break from indie. listening to one type of music all the time kinda gets old, even if it's good.

i needed something with bass. something that i could relax to. study music, in other words.

hmmm...

then i remembered alan telling me about zero 7 and theivery corporation... so i decided to check them out. bittorrent is my freind.

my first impression: jazz, electronica, and a bit of indie rock mashed together. interesting mix, but it works. the genere is called trip-hop. you can find it on amazon under "Top Sellers > Music > Styles > Dance > DJ > Trip-Hop". it makes for great chill music.

heres some good albums. some aren't exactly trip-hop, just good electronia.

verve remixed vol. 3
theivery corporation - cosmic game
air - talkie walkie
zero 7 - simple things
jem - finally woken
massive attack - 100th window
amon tobin - chaos theory
m83 - before the dawn heals us
moby - hotel
brazilian girls

i'm still trying to find albums from ivy, tahiti 80, and lcd soundsystem. if you guys know where to find them, let me know.

ack... must... study...

the stills rock.

canadian bands rock. (the stills, stars, the dears, of montreal, the arcade fire)

maybe its something in the food.

large doses of the stills, stars, bloc party, kaiser chiefs, and theivery corp on the playlist.
