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 ...

The second full-length by Norwegian jazz enfant terribles Jaga Jazzist proves to even the most ardently pigheaded that their debut, A Livingroom Hush, was no fluke. (Jazz "purists" -- as if jazz were a "pure" music -- will even have to take note on compositional, swing, & improvisational levels but will no doubt, like any music fascist, dismiss this as somehow inauthentic because of the presence of electronics.) The Stix ups the ante a notch & foregoes much of the restraint displayed on the ...

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 ...

Ninth album from the cult Mancunian indie rockers follows their 2007 reformation & is their first new studio release since 2001's ' Pleased To Meet You'. The album was produced by Lee " Muddy" Baker (Chungking, Mo Solid Gold, James's Tim Booth) & recorded at Warsy Chateau in northern France, where Baker allowed the band to jam & improvise at will. The result is a set of coruscating pop-rock featuring Booth's trademark erudite lyrics that is already being hailed as the best thing they have do ...
