It’s just another manic monday… I agree, BUT every day is a good day for MUSIC. Today I’ve bought two cd’s. One new album: 360° by Mintzkov, and one I should have had for a long time already: Silent Alarm by Bloc Party. But hey, no nagging here, it’s in my possession now. After listening to the Mintzkov album for about +/- 5 times, I must say this is one hell of an album. Way to go, Mintzkov. When you compare this album to their first one (back in the days when Luna was attached to the bandname), I definitely think they have grown and have gained ’street’ (well actually, in this case, ‘indie’) credibility.
The Bloc Party cd then was also a real bargain
. You can find hits such as Banquet and So here we are on this musical pearl, but the stunning opening song Like eating glass might sound familiar to you too. In my opinion, the cd sounds really ‘tight’ (I’m sorry, I can’t think of another word to express my impression) and after listening to only two of their songs you can really pick a Bloc Party-song out of a million others, they just have this typical sound – COOL
