Lo Fine Not For Us Two Pigeon Records April 8, 2001 Before I heard this album, I had never heard of Lo Fine, or listened to anything by them. Maybe there's a reason. I can't technically fault this album musically I guess... but from the opening track 'Damage Twins' to the closing track 'My Favourite Illusion (Not For Us Two)' , I almost completely tuned out. There were moments, [...]

Peter Morén The Last Tycoon Quarterstick April 8, 2008 The only fault I can find with this album is the fault on my part, deciding to give it a listen three minutes before bedtime. Feeling ultimately captivated by second five of "Reel to Real" I could by no means fall asleep. As I lay in the dark I found myself smiling, every note consuming my heart [...]

It's monday night and the city sounds start vanishing into the air while I realize that venezuelan independent scene isn't a thing you'll find in some fancy lounge with a monosyllabic name and lots of european beer, the few people interested in alternative sounds will find a hard path to follow. With an almost hermetic independent music scene and the internet as the only tool, Last.FM has quickly become the main pillar to those who search wisdom (ok, indie stuff). It seems that every attempt to trace the origins of the alternative music thought [...]

Camille Music Hole Virgin April 8, 2008 They told me she was around again... –she's like black and orange now! –yes, I heard that too! –she sounds very nice, maybe you two should meet again! –she has the same choruses over herself, they sound so good! ...it's been so long, two years now, things have come and things have passed by, passed me by. I'm someone [...]
![AZ / Undeniable [2008]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/1027546_lg.jpg)
AZ Undeniable Koch Records April 1, 2008 AZ has always been one of my favorite rappers. Songs like "Life's A Bitch" (included in the legendary Nas' debut album "Illmatic" ) and albums like Doe Or Die are in the hall of fame of rap music. The best thing about him is that he rarely releases bad albums. Unfortunately, this new one is an exception. There are some really bad tracks, those [...]

![Tapes 'n Tapes / Walk It Off [2008]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/1027548_lg.jpg)
Tapes 'n Tapes Walk It Off XL Recordings April 8, 2008 I need to be honest and that's exactly why I need to say I felt nothing with this. Maybe it's just me and this is, in fact, the greatest album ever made but since I don't get paid by XL Recordings or the band itself, I'm supposed to be objective and write a decent review based on my feelings about this [...]
