| | Kieran Hebden DJ-Kicks CD - Import Kieran Hebden Discography of CDs
No stranger to in-the-mix compilations (see his 2004 LATE NIGHT TALES disc), Kieran Hebden (a.k.a. Four Tet) offers up a highly eclectic set on this installment of the DJ-KICKS series. Among the songs selected by the lauded British electronica artist are Curtis Mayfield's gentle funk tune "If I Were Only a Child Again," Stereolab's pulsing techno-pop track "Les Yper-Sound," and Cabaret Voltaire's minimalist industrial number "Kneel to the Boss." The main draw for Four Tet fans, of course, is Hebden's own previously unreleased "Pockets," a synth-heavy piece that features clattering percussion. While Four Tet's gleeful genre-hopping may be too much for some--the track listing also features underground hip-hop and indie-folk--open-minded listeners will be rewarded with a fascinatingly varied collection.

Purchase DJ-Kicks CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Arcade Fire Funeral CD (2004)
DJ-Kicks
 $11.89    
Favorably compared to the Flaming Lips, Mercury Rev, and Broken Social Scene, the Arcade Fire's sound seems to come from a lifetime of listening to the Cure, Talking Heads, Elvis Costello, and many others--even a dose of soul gets worked into these grand anthems. Chassagne delivers some spellbinding vocals on "Haiti," while the tinkling piano and strings on "Crown of Love" conjure up a heartbroken surfside prom. In 2004, this made many critics' year-end lists, and it's no wonder--the songs on FUNERAL are so packed with unique instrumentation, mesmerizing build-ups, and galvanizing tempo changes that they seem culled from some enigmatic, decade-spanning rock anthology.
This Montreal ensemble's fiery debut is marked by surging guitars, soulful strings, driving drums, brilliant bass lines, and the quavering ...
| | CocoRosie Noah's Ark CD (2005)
DJ-Kicks
$12.89 
The sisters Casady set the weirdness bar awfully high on their homemade debut, LA MAISON DE MON REVE, but this inspired follow-up finds the bar ascended as the angels take it on the road, recording everywhere from barnyards to actual music studios. As usual, classically trained vocalist Sierra delivers the delirious operatic vocalizing and plays piano, dulcimer, and autoharp while Bianca coos like a 12-year old vampire Billie Holiday and makes percussive noise from computers and shakers with equal abandon.
The difference here is in the confidence, the polish, and the guest stars: Antony (of Antony & the Johnsons) singing and playing piano on the movingly transgressive "Beautiful Boyz," Devendra Banhart sampled ...

DJ-Kicks
$9.89
Digitally remastered by Phil de Lancie (1999, Fantasy Studios, Berkeley, California).
Tenor sax legend Rollins (who played with jazz giants Max Roach and Thelonious Monk in the 1950s) takes it easy here with a set of easy-listening style tunes. Many of the tunes have an appealing "island vacation" feel to them--note the warm, bouncy calypso feel of "Coconut Bread" and the strutting light funk of "Joyous Lake." "Jo Jo" reflects Rollins' 1960s freewheeling hard-bop jazz sound, and Dolly Parton's "Here You Come Again" gets a playful workout. "Illusions" features some steely yet soulful ballad playing.
Rollins' playing is melodically direct, full-bodied and ...
