Released in 2006, this 13-track collection cherry picks the finest songs from Electronic's first three albums. While the Britpop duo of Johnny Marr (the Smiths) and Bernard Sumner (New Order) never reached the brilliance of their other bands' earlier work, the pair did craft a number of enjoyable dance-pop singles, including the vibrant "Getting Away with It" (with the Pet Shop Boys' Neil Tennant), the breezy title track, and the shuffling "Second Nature," all of which are available on this fittingly concise, well-selected compilation.
Electronic: Johnny Marr , Bernard Sumner.
Q (p.154) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "First single 'Getting Away With It' charmed a nation...and 'Feel Every Beat' saw Sumner deliver the campest rap ever..."
Mojo (Publisher) (p.131) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "Later and more rocked-up material includes 'For You' and 'Forbidden City', both gems in anyone's canon." Get The Message: The Best Of Electronic Music Get The Message: The Best Of Electronic Songs Get The Message: The Best Of Electronic Review

EVERCLEAR, AMC's finest hour and one the '90s' most powerful albums, is simultaneously lush and searing, heartache and despair borne out in elegant arrangements that combine fragile prettiness and soul-baring howls of pain. Multi-instrumentalist Bruce Kaphan rose to the occasion of his production debut. The canyons ...
| | Cure Join The Dots: B-Sides & Rarities 1978-2001 (The Fiction Years) CDs (2004) Remastered
Get The Message: The Best Of Electronic album
$38.29 
Recorded between 1978 & 2001. Includes liner notes by Robert Smith, Simon Gallup, and Johnny Black.
A remarkable four-disc set of B-sides and rarities, JOIN THE DOTS serves as a sort of alternate history for the Cure, one of the world's most beloved post-punk/alt-rock bands. Painstakingly compiled by Cure frontman (and the group's only constant member) Robert Smith, DOTS provides dozens of glimpses into the literal flip-side of their singles by collecting many long-lost tracks, including ...
| | Nada Surf Let Go CD (2002)
Get The Message: The Best Of Electronic CD music
$10.35
A funny thing happened to Nada Surf on the way to sure-fire late-'90s alt-rock stardom. Despite obtaining a decent amount of MTV exposure, their sardonic first single, "Popular," ultimately arrived just moments too late to capitalize on the era's short-lived mainstream fancy with geek rock. And with no quality second hit in sight, neither 1996's moderately successful High/Low nor its forgettable 1998 follow-up, The Proximity Effect, gained much traction outside the indie rock underground -- seemingly ...

| | Shout: The Very Best Of Tears For Fears CD (2001)
Get The Message: The Best Of Electronic songs
$11.99
Digitally remastered by Suha Gur (Universal Mastering Studios-East).
British duo Tears for Fears debuted in the age of New Romantic synth-pop, and while their early output did share some superficial elements with the likes of Simple Minds, OMD, et al, they were always master craftsmen first and foremost, in terms of both songwriting and production. SHOUT: THE VERY BEST OF TEARS FOR FEARS kicks off with such early hits as "Pale Shelter," "Change," and "Mad World," which array the requisite early-1980s layers of synthesizers in such an artful way that one would be forgiven for regarding TFF as the Beach Boys of electro-pop.
It didn't take long for Curt Smith and Roland Orzabal to transcend the genre, though, and elegant melodic pop gems "Head Over Heels" and "Everybody ...
| | Jewel This Way CD (2001) Enhanced CD
Get The Message: The Best Of Electronic album
$6.49 
The first three songs on Jewel Kilcher's first new album after a long layoff (her previous release was a 1999 Christmas album) embrace country, alternative rock, and a kind of John Cougar Mellencamp rock/country. She finds her own voice five songs in, with the tour de force "Do You Want to Play?" whose smart lyrics combined with a killer chorus are an immediate highlight of this self-assured collection.
"Jesus Loves You" is a thoughtful meditation on consumerism that also manages to include the sassy couplet "It's not what I can do for anybody/It's what their body can do for me," underlining the singer's confident way with her subject matter. "Till We Run Out of Road" is that rock & roll staple, the road song, but she returns to form with "Everyone Needs Someone Sometime," a self-explanatory examination in which the singer's smart storytelling skills are on full display. With the inclusion of a couple of solo acoustic live tracks showcasing Jewel's raw talent and its firm rock backbone underlaying her maturing vocals, THIS WAY is a confident return to form from a singer many had previously written off as a one-hit wonder.
Her first collection of all new, self-penned material since 1998 was recorded in Nashville and produced by guitarist Dan Huff (& Jewel). This 2001 Atlantic Records release features 14 tracks, including the 2 bonus tracks 'Grey Matter' and 'Sometimes It Be That Way'.

Michelle Anthony doesn't reinvent anything on this album, but offers more of the dark and somewhat dingy country ballads that bring to mind Kathleen Edwards, Allison Moorer, or Gillian Welch raised on a heap of alt.country albums. Her songwriting and mundane narrative on the opener, "Mourning Song," visit territory Lucinda Williams touched on during Essence. Produced by former Wilco member ...
