I ask because although you get some good music under the Ambient and Electronica sections, you also get some shocking DJ-ing.

"Oops! Sorry guys! I .. err, I. I'll be right back!"

Or,

"Hey, is this microphone workin… …"

Anyone else noticed this?

For me, there's always something anthemic about Hybrid and their music.

Something cinematic that is much more than just orchestral, more than just techno or electronica.

As one observer on iTunes Store put it: I Choose Noise picks up where Morning Sci-Fi left off.

And he was right.

While some have leveled criticism at the almost through-away lyrics in some of their songs .. who cares?

The music is so big and bold and engaging.

You know what I say? Encore!

I seem drawn to fast-paced, lyricially-rich songs.

Songs such as We Didn't Start The Fire by Billy Joel, Did You Get My Message? by Jason Mraz and Pretend Best Friend by Terrorvision.

I'll be honest, I like to have a little sing along, so there's always something of a challenge in getting both my head and my tongue around the words to songs like these.

Anyone know of any other similar songs? Please share…

My knowledge of Hip-Hop is comparable to that of my insight into interstellar cartography .. eh! wazzat?

So to those that know me, there was a few raised eyebrows when I confessed to not only buying but also liking the music of a one DJ Format, specifically the album If You Can't Join 'Em… Beat 'Em and then very particularly, the songs I'm Good, The Turning Point and Ugly Brothers.

For me, the lyrics are something else. In fact, something to behold.

Any lesser mortal attempting such oratory gymnastics would surely either bite their tongue or swallow the bugger!…

I've got this thing for summer Trance and Electronica.

Right now, I'm listening to Anjunbeats volumes 2 & 3 by Above & Beyond.

I'm also working on my Tiesto collection of In Search of Sunrise.

Armin van Buuren also weighs in heavily with some excellent textural tunes.

Which all serves to remind me just how much I miss my Big Greek Holiday last year.

Out on the streets on the warm night. All of the shimmering lights and the gorgeous woman streaming from one bar to another.

Good sounds, sun, sand, sex and Sambuca…

For me, there can be few artists as eclectic and as constantly odd yet consistently accomplished as Beck.

The guy somehow fixes things in my 'ead that are the kind of music itch-need that others guys & gals just catch scratch.

But there are others that I'm sure must have formed the basis of some of his weirdness, such as David Bowie, as one more notable example, trying to avoid mention of Captain Beefheart all together!.

Alas, his music is an acquired taste, much like mustard and Marmite.

But as my dear late mother would always say: "It…
