Happy Easter Listening: Bunnies and Beers

What could be better than discovering some new tunes over Easter, pounding a few brews and sleeping in? Now that's what I call a religious holiday. Check these out....

Parliament. MOTHERSHIP CONNECTION

If you have time to just chill out and check out something akin to a concept album that is seriously weird but also has good tunes then check this album out. If you have ever heard Dr Dre The Chronic you will see immediately that The Chronic is a modern re-interpretation of this classic funk album. Classic funk album, need I say more?

Roni Size Reprazent. NEW FORMS

If robots in space wanted to have a party then this would be the album they would play. It sounds like it was created in the year 2097. Beats over sounds that resemble instruments you have heard before but these guys wanted to create a REAL NEW sound and they almost did it. I challenge you to not be up out of your seat and hopping around to this album. Lyrics are great, smart and beautifully interwoven with the drum 'n bass beats. The first few tracks on the first disc are the best and worth getting this album for.

The Beatles. REVOLVER

The very mention of the Beatles makes most people cringe. I understand. BUT check this album out it is their best in my opinion. A lot of the Beatles does suck but if you still don't think the Beatles are pretty amazing by the end of this album then you have missed the point, the Beatles did this stuff way before anybody even thought to loop 2 guitar tracks together and play one backwards (for example) and it still rocked and this album STILL sounds like it was recorded last year. Timeless is the sign of genius in art - you can quote me on that. Check out the final track on the disc and see if you recognise the sample that The Chemical Brothers took from this tune to make one of their biggest hits - if its good enough for them....
