Watoo Watoo - "La Fuite"
Watoo Watoo consist primarily of Pascale & Michaël, who now live in Bordeaux after spending 30 years in Paris and it's suburbs. Michaël usually records new songs on his computer, e-mails friends to help with the guitars & the piano, and then asks Pascale to add her lovely voice. But Pascale is always busy doing something else, so Michaël often needs to ask her some time in advance. Over 10 years, Watoo Watoo have released 2 albums & 2 E.P.s on various labels throughout the world & have made appearances on an impressive number of compilations.
The music was strictly indiepop in Watoo Watoo's early years, but now other influences have surfaced. "Felt is still an obsession but Serge Gainsbourg also is one. I also discovered a lot of new music in the last few years thanks to the internet, so bossa beats or jazz chords sometimes subconsciously appear when I write a new song", says Michaël.
Watoo Watoo have recently completed recordings on a new CD album, that has been released by Letterbox Records in June 2007. Among the new songs are a melancholic waltz, a pop song with 60s orchestral arrangements, an electronic tune, a bossa and even a funk number resembling a 70s movie soundtrack. Pascale's soft voice and the apparent smoothness of the melodies pull everything together, stamping the Watoo Watoo brand on the entire production.
Airspace Vol 1 y Vol 2: Nostalgia
He podido conseguir (¡por fin!) los dos volúmenes de “Airspace”, dos recopilatorios editados sólo en vinilo y que recoge multitud de temas inéditos de la escena indie UK a finales de los 80-principios de los 90. Desde maravillas de St Christopher (el tema que sacó Stamp en flexi) o Field Mice hasta un ¡slightydelic mix! del “Shame on You” de The Darling Buds. Nostalgia: (del griego clásico νόστος "regreso" y ἄλγος "dolor") describe un anhelo del pasado, a menudo idealizado y poco realista... Los estudios muestran que muchas personas creen que en años o décadas pasadas las personas estaban mejor de lo que están ahora, incluso cuando esto no es siempre el caso. Esta creencia es muy típica de la nostalgia. Los artículos en la Cultura Pop a menudo pueden provocar un sentimiento fuerte de la nostalgia.

Colin Blunstone - One Year
Discmedi reedita esto en España; Una joya.
One Year es el álbum con el que Colin Blunstone regresó a la arena discográfica tras el breve periodo de retiro que siguió a la disolución de The Zombies, una de las bandas más importantes en toda la historia del pop británico y el grupo con el que conoció el éxito a través de obras tan trascendentales como Odessey and Oracle. Para su rentrée, Blunstone contó con la colaboración de sus antiguos compañeros en las filas de los no-muertos, Rod Argen y Chris White. Con su ayuda, el que fuera vocalista de los Zombies ideó una magna obra en la que abordaba el pop desde la creatividad y la voluntad de superar el fantasma de su anterior banda. Ampulosas orquestaciones, melodías de adherencia inquebrantable y la característica voz de Blunstone constituyen las principales señas de identidad de un disco que también sirvió para mostrar el talento del inglés como compositor, después de que apenas tuviera ocasión de mostrar esta porción de su talento durante los años que pasó enrolado en Zombies.

Taken by Tress: el nuevo proyecto de Victoria (ex The Concretes)
you may recognise victoria's utterly unique voice as that which formerly graced the concretes. victoria was singer and songwriter for the concretes for 11 years up until deciding to leave the band in july 2006. then again you may recognise victoria's voice from one of the biggest and most popular singles of last year - namely, peter bjorn and john's infectious 'young folks' single. now, after much deliberation and thought, victoria has decided to follow her instincts and record a debut album of her own. aided and abetted by fellow peter, bjorn and john co-horts bjorn yttling on various instruments and string arrangements and john eriksson on all 'very personal' percussion instruments, marimba and vibraphone. the album also features guitar by andreas soderstrom, plus verity susman from electrelane, who provided piano arrangements as well as backing vocals. victoria and bjorn produced the album together. cd only on rough trade
