Dead Can Dance meets Enya and the Peace Orchestra. The group's doing their thing since 1985. This record is electronical, down-tempo jazz like Tosca, AtJazz, Peace Orchestra or Dz+K but there's the voice of Teresa Salgueiro. It's perfect to chill out, take a deep breath, or just listen to it in the background. Madredeus made the soundtrack for the 1994 Wenders movie "The Lisboa Story"

Today's classic record. Sometimes I'll mention one of my fave recordings ever. So this is the first of them. Five star - of course.

Maybe I should comment this log. But I can't. There's so much to say about every song on this record. Suntoucher - how it starts, how it gives you everyday energy. Superstylin - the song that makes every party goin high ''joooiiinddaaai'' :) by bb) Little by little - listen to that old blues singer. My Friend - voice by Brandy, and the memories I have to this song, Tuning In - how I love the vocals. And the wonderful Edge Hill - the most emotion that a downtempo hit can give you... The Masterpiece of Groove Armada.

plump dj's ''donna kebab''****
2003 remix of donna summer's evergreen ''i feel love''. the first club song ever has got a brand new stylish coat ny bow, but she was better, when she wore nothing. let live the nudism! buy the original 12''

Summer bootleg house (Deep)

• michael jackson ''remember the time'' (2003) ***
  white label
  Classis one taken from the 1991 Dangerous album, freshed up with some house beats. No + no -. (I remember how I loved the vocals in the track back in 1992)


• michael jackson ''billy jean'' vs whitney houston ''it's not right'' *
  white label
  A dreadful bore record. This isn't right and isnt o.k. The idea mixing Jacko and Whitney is so average, it sounds like the first try of a 14 y old bedroom DJ.


• prince ''let's work'' (dark dancer rmx) / prince ''soul jammings'' ***
  white label
  breaky 80's, you should play this record if you wanna turn the 80's oldies party on.


• diskaos ''preachers man'' (phat &phunky remix) ****
  dikaos@hotmail.com
  loveley track. really fat and funky.I should recommend this record for people they wanna make a trendy party for friends from the faculty of arts.


• twist vs diana ross upside down / nicensmoove running freak (2003) ***
  white label
  average summer souse record. maybe i've been expecting more of that diana ross remix. next one please.


• bootyshaker: bootyshaker 2003 vol 2 ****
  (unknown label)
  Bitter Sweet Seduction
  Heavy D acappella
  Heavy Luvin
  JB Shake (BS 002)
  Oh I loved this one as well. There's the first track made from Felix the Housecat last years succes vs Grandmaster Flash oldies. And there's that sweet house hit. And the Heavy D acapella. Great record.


• twisted funk vs farlez cant turn around / pulse 8 ****
  white label
  "This white label works very well using a sample of Oliver Cheathams Get down saturday night, with the classic house vocal over the top." I agree.


• j-walk: another lover *****
  warner
  A1 influx remix
  AA1 rjd2 remix
  AA2 rjd2 instrumental
  one of the greatest leftfield releases of the year. smooth soulful vocals by Pete Simspon. slow, clever downtempo, rjd2 knows how to do it. (on side ''A'' there's some dNb version for the teens.) it should have been probably the choice of the day, but there were that white labeled one...


• colonel abrahams vs evil 9: trapped (2003) *****
  white label
  iZborn's choice. Awesome track. Energic, massive beats forced up with one of the blackest voices of the 80's Colonel Abrahams. It's like celebrating a breakbeat-gospel mass, with the hands in the air, reverend abrahams makes the gospel-party goin mad. I'm so proud of this vinyl. And yeah, I'VEGOT IT!!!

plump DJs ''squeaks and bleeps'' *****
fingerlickin, 2003

1. In Stereo 
2. Mantra 
3. Squeaks & Bleeps 
4. Nylon Radar 
stereo sound stereo sound. sampler from the Plumps' forthcoming album, 'Eargasm' . three of the four songs gives you the average breakbeat quality, but the first song ''in stereo'' makes you feel the rhythm, it's electro, retro, funk, disco, breakz, everything... a great ''pumping up the volume'' song to make the party goin' high
