A Livingroom Hush is the debut by Norwegian jazz/electronics outfit Jaga Jazzist, released in the United Sates on Ninjatune a year later. A Livingroom Hush is simply one of the most enigmatic outings to ever come out of either genre (and how many times can you say that?). Realized after the group had been together for nine years & led by the stunningly original compositions of Lars Horntveth (who began composing for the group when he was 14 in 1994), A Livingroom Hush is so deeply ingrained in ...

JAMES: THE BEST OF is an excellent sampling of the late output of the band that was almost too happy for Manchester. Culled mostly from James's albums from the 1990s, the 18 songs here include the smash hit " Laid, & several other UK hits that were US sleepers, including Come Home, Sit Down, She's a Star, & others. Sadly, JAMES: THE BEST OF provides only one example of the band's earlier work on Factory Records. Nevertheless, the compilation attests to the wonderful pop sensibility tha ...

This James retrospective features all but three of the singles the band recorded for the Mercury label. At 20 tracks, it's a respectable slab of music that's punctuated by some powerful material like " Sit Down, Sometimes, & Laid, making it a great entry point for listeners just getting into the Manchester, Engl&-based alternative rock collective. Fresh as a Daisy: The Singles also comes in a two-disc package called The Complete Singles Collection 1983-2007, which features singles from t ...
