here's what i missed of choc electric: the funky feeling and the rhythm that start you move. more than just an average, good quality downtempo. and don't forget to mention: spityu zu has the track ego riot in the original version. (Manu Dibango: Ca va chouia) and here you get somebody else's meaning.

totally average cafe-music. some nice keyboard solo and good percussions but that's all. if you don't want to hear something unique, then this is it for you. i can't say i'm disappointed: it depends on what you're doing while you here these songs. (don't forget to mention: the remixes are just nice housy i like them)

ok. i agree i have to change my opinion. it has to mean something if you listen to an album or just to a part of an album since three days. these tracks are coming more near and near to my heart, i began to depend on them, so this album gets another little star. these tracks are just lovely.

first advice: set the following playlist to eliminate yoko her terrible tracks: 1,3,5,7,8,10,12.

one of the first albums i ever ever heard and i remember. we had it on tape, and as we were listening to that old BASF it was like a feast. that's what you call music with the mother milk, i was just three or like this. the second time i re-descovered this album was in 1995. and still, over and over time and time again i have to listen to this record. becouse of the pure harmony of love between john and yoko.

now i am watching the weels go round and round and round.

esmerine - if only a sweet surrender to the nights to come be true ***

4.Where there is no love there is no justice
5.Tungsten
6.Sweet surrender be true
7.Luna park
8.The marvellous engines

this one will be good, i feel. this one's going to erase all my silly thoughts, all my stress i had. it reminds me tin-tin-quartett, recalling the days i started my studies the days i was expecting i was hoping i was waiting.

Esmerine is Bruce Cawdron playing various percussive instruments and Becky Foon on cello. They are also joined by several guest musicians playing violin, harmonium and bass. On this disc they have created very emotive neo-classical melodies focussing on cello and percussion without the emphasis on guitars.

viva la nujazz! spityu's always telling me that the so called nu jazz is dead. i disagree, cos this one's just huge! i mean i wanted to hear something like this. and this is it, it fulfills all my expectations. it's jazzy, it's sexy, it's soft quiet, it strokes my soul. and the voice of this girl. oh my god it feels ...ehmmm... great great great.
