Enigma: A Posterori
- I was expecting at least something on par with his last CD Voyager but, wow, he phoned this one in. Boring, uninspired not in the least bit interesting. There might be one track that I would
consider good but an overall forgetful effort.

Macy Gray: Big
- Ok. So Her first CD, On How It Is, was great. Second CD, The Id, way ahead of its time, groundbreaking, indulgent, lush and crazyily creative. Then something happened. Either the pot got to her or someone told her she was going to burn herself out or she just became an engine for jingles but the 3rd CD, The Trouble With Being Myself, was safe and boring and adult contemporary. With Big her supposed return to her roots of her first CD I'm just disappointed. The production values are sparce and sophmoric. There are maybe 2 or 3 tracks that stand out but otherwise another forgettable CD.

Tracey Thorn: Out Of The Woods
-Touted as her first CD in 25 years (of course forgetting the amazing work she's done with Massive Attack and Everything But The Girl), Out of the Woods sound slike literally a work that should have been produced 25 years ago. Dated, unoriginal and in no way representative of her vocal talents the CD is another disappointment. 1 or 2 standout tracks but other wise forgetable as well.


That said I'm listening to the new Hybrid: I Choose Noise (another stellar effort from them), BT: This Binary Universe (very ambiant and moody), Danny Elfman: Serenada Schizophrana (an orchestral piece commision by the American Composers Orchesta to write a concert piece that was a modern composition), Lily Allen: Alright, Still (thanks to Becky for giving this to me a while ago and me forgetting it) Outside of that everything else sucks.
