Artists {Sony Music}««
With summer at its peak, what better way
to beat the heat than chilling out with some of the
coolest tracks! The most chilled-up track Rigga Digga
Dong Song by Passion Fruit is sure to become this
summers anthem. Many might mistake a summer album
to be a reggae album, but this ones an exception.
This album believes in giving you a taste of everything,
from rap to techno to funk to even Indipop. The
guaranteed chill-out tracks include Hot Hot Hot by
Blakc Lace, Lambada by Kaoma, Best Friend
by Toy Box, Iko Iko by Cyndi Lauper, Guantanamera
by Wyclef Jean, Sun is Shining by Bob Marely
vs Funkstar De Luxe, Parade De Tettas by
Vengaboys, Hotel California (Spanish Mix)
by Gypsy Kings, Here Comes The Hotstepper by Ini
Kamoze and Kya Soorat Hai by Bombay Vikings.
Ooh! Now thats what we call on
helluva cool album.

some fireworks with his band Nightmare On Elm Street on

that eventually steal the show remain Sneak Preview

ALBUM OF THE MONTH
Travis
- The Man Who {Sony Music}«««
Formed in 1997 this
Glaswegian quartret managed to be the first band signed
by Andy Macdonalds new label. Their anachronistic
brand of partial-bluster, partial-hippy rock won them
instant recognition in the music world. Frank Healy
(singer, songwriter), Andy Dunlop (guitar), Dougie Danyne
(bass) and Neil Primrose (drums) together
presented a melodic and an awesome atmospheric depth that
helped set Travis apart from their contemporaries. The
boys are back with another thrilling experience titled The
Man Who- derived from Oliver Stacks book on
schizophrenia. The album offers rich emotional textures
with a vast collection of grooves and diverse musical
spirits. From Simon and Garfunkel to Plastic Ono Band,
John Barry to Jacques Brel, Ennio Morricone to Hunky
Dory-era Bowie, the music has a slight impression of all.
One moment you are awestruck with the effects of The
Fear and in a jiffy you find yourself relaxing on the
soothing mellow-down dynamics of As You Are.
Produced by Nigel Godrick (Radiohead, Beck, R.E.M.,
Pavement), The Man Who is a wee bit more grown-up
album than Good Feeling. You can trust the quartet
to go to any extent to get the sound they want. The
desired radio-in-traffic effect on Slide Show was
actually created using Neils car cruising the mean
streets of St. Johns Wood. The French passages on Last
Laugh Of The Laughter were translated by five Gallic
hairdressers that Fran met in Israel. As You Are
reminds one of John Lennon on The Beatles Across
The Universe. Why Does It Always Rain On Me is an
homage track to Jeff Buckley. This is Travis....with a
huge step forward
