This is the first Beirut album I've ever gotten - I don't know exactly why but the reviews caught my attention in a way that the earlier stuff didn't - I guess now I'll have to catch up. Yancey I strongly disagree that the synth-pop is better - but I have a soft-spot for brass bands since watching "Underground" some years back. (And no it does not make sense that with a soft-spot for brass bands I wouldn't have given him a chance before now - but ...) I think that some people here would really like Bright Blue Dreams by {{{Sunset}}} (listed on emu as Sunset (2). It reminds me of good Pink Floyd, without sounding like Pink Floyd at all, if that makes any sense. http://www.emusic.com/artist/Sunset-2-MP3-Download/11953809.html After my first listen I love love love the Beirut album.

Considering I've been rocking Luminous Groove in the car the past week you'd think eMu would psychically know to put that on my front page! In all seriousness, I'm totally overwhelmed by all of the new awesomeness dropped on eMu this week. Wow, I had no idea about the new Hitchcock.

I've already downloaded some Olof Arnalds, but more like her would be good. Talking of music in other languages , I'm particularly interested in women singing in Japanese. Any tips?
