Pretty, but bad
To aid in my never-ending quest to track down all the Boom Boom Satellites music in the world, Sleepy snagged an Ogg rip of the 2-CD soundtrack to Appleseed, which features BBS, Basement Jaxx, Carl Craig, Paul Oakenfold, and the entire score by Ryuichi Sakamoto. Normally Oakenfold bores me, but his appearance here is rather hot. The Satellites do not disappoint with several new tracks of their signature weirdass techno/rock fusion. And the find for me on this album was Akufen, a producer who makes music that an editorial review on Amazon describes as "a pop-house mind fuck". OK, sign me up!
Appleseed is apparently pretty, but bad. [Insert joke about your ex here; cue rim shot.]
Paul Oakenfold - Burns Attack
Boom Boom Satellites - Underdog
Akufen - The Dragonfly Who Thought He Was A Mockingbird

Sure - tempt me with some kick-ass music that's on LP only, except for these hot little samples! And being a musical neophyte I have no idea if the other albums by FOrce of Nature even come close to the snippets of lush sound you've given me. If there is a legal way (i.e. I'll gladly pay) for me to get a digital copy of this album, give me the Swiss account numbers in which to deposit the necessary sums.
Peace,
Rob (previously of Portland)
