A bit of a bumper post from me. First up is a tune to banish those winter blues. Solo vs Vega's Love Ritual is a great party tune for anyone yearning for those carnival days of the summer. This has a really lovely Brazilian feel to it with all the right ingredients for a big smile. It's quite minimal in its approach, as it should be, with the rhythm controlling the harmony. It's available as a free download too from SoundCloud.
The next track is a remix of a new release by Lykke Li called I Follow Rivers. This is one of my must get albums of the year and long-awaited after her first album a few years back. I understand that she had a few personal problems but glad she seems to have put that all behind her now. I've listened to a few of the new tracks now and she is definitely less twee, more polished and sounding more confident. Proof indeed that the Swedes are producing so much great music at present. I'm really looking forward to my trip to Gothenburg next month.
Albums I've been listening to today: Marianne Faithfull - Before the Poison, Lamb - Best Kept Secrets 1996 - 2004, Arial Pink's Haunted Graffiti - Before Today, Ingrid Schoeder - Bee Charmer, Jatoma - Jatoma.
