If current trends in underground music are any indicator, this album by Berlin (one strike) producer Kaos, with its genre hopping (second strike) and myriad guests (third strike), should be an absolutely abysmal and plodding mess. Which is why it's nice to report that this is not only the best dance album you're likely to hear this year, it's also one of the finest full-length electronic albums ever put to wax, with each song recalling a track you already hold as a dear fave. So what if it's not the most original -- Kaos gels his influences together better than most every other producer out there. Kudos, indeed. "Lessons in Love" states its purpose clearly enough with a deep synth melody and tick-tocking hi-hats that scream Mr. Fingers. It's followed by "Feel Like I Feel (Sing Along)" which features an electric piano line that is the spot-on twin of "Is It All Over My Face" and features Matt B. Safer (the Rapture), while the Khan-led "Now and Forever" features a vocal part that just might have been cribbed from the master tapes of disco-era Rolling Stones. And it just doesn't stop. The disco, electro, and acid house themes continue for the remainder of this album that just flies from beginning to end. Critics will complain that Kaos doesn't really have his own sound. But seeing how most electronic artists' sounds get bogged down in the album format, the fact that he can keep you locked in from beginning to end -- without the slightest bit of filler -- is worthy of endless praise. ~ Joshua Glazer

Hello Stranger CD music
$11.19
Released without the usual flurry of hype, Before I Self Destruct fulfills 50 Cent's contractual obligation to the Interscope label. It also doubles as a throwback album, returning the rapper to the hunger and hatred of his early mixtapes while skillfully recasting him as a wannabe upstart. That is, for the most part. The four radio-friendly bedroom numbers that conclude the album are out of place but fairly good to dime-piece beautiful, with the best being the Ne-Yo showcase "Baby by Me" ("Have a baby by me, baby/Be a millionaire"). As pleasing as these final numbers are, if you leave the room after the macho bruiser "I Got Swag" ("I'm infinitely special/Girl the Lord is gonna bless ...

| | Primal Scream CD (1989) (Import) Germany
Hello Stranger songs
$14.45
Primal Scream, in 1989, confounded their fans and foes alike by growing their hair past their shoulders, buying Marshall amps and turning them up to 11, and by showing an alarming tendency to appear in public shirtless. Previously the Scream had been the most precious of indie poppers, Byrds fans down to their fringed jackets and freshly-combed bowl haircuts. However, their major-label debut, a pristine pop record, was a big flop, and after they booted out co-founder Jim Beattie, they were ...
| | Lulu To Sir With Love: The Best Of 1967-68 CD (2003)
Hello Stranger album
$14.79
Recorded between 1967 & 1968. Includes liner notes by Colin Escott.
This compilation collects 19 sides from Lulu during her burgeoning ascent as a British pop diva. The tracks include the contents of the long-players To Sir With Love (1967) and Love Loves to Love Lulu (1967) -- which share pretty much the same 11-song tune stack. The remainder were issued on a variety of singles in the U.K. as well as stateside. Although the vast majority failed to make much of an impact, she did top the pop singles chart with the title song of this package as well as from the film To Sir With Love (1967), where she likewise debuted as an actress. She played the smarmy lower-middle-class student "Miss" Barbara Pegg alongside Sidney Poitier's brilliant portrayal of high-school educator "Sir" Mark Thackeray. Her only other platter to hit the Top 40 in the U.S. was "Best of Both Worlds" -- which features an opulent score from Peter Knight. Keen-eared listeners may well hear several striking similarities between the introductory orchestration, which is a variation on a theme that Knight was concurrently incorporating into his work with the Moody Blues on ...
