“I'm glad I caught this the second time around. It's pretty amazing when something can sound engaging and fresh 35 years later.”

Track: Use Me (Album Version)
(
$1.29
)
Artist: Bill Withers
“One of the best openings of any live album ever recorded. Withers and co. are so funky that the audience is clapping the entire time. The icing on the cake: after they've played the song once, Bill introduces the band and plays the song in its entirety for a second time!”

“a nice build beginning with Kingsmen-esque 60s pop and ending in expansive psychedelic noise rock.”

“This guy can really play. A well-executed piano album, mostly covers of classic stride piano, but some more diverse sources as well. See track 8 for some fond memories, for instance (at least for me).”

Track: Unwindings Are Sound
(
$0.57
)
Artist: Aspects of Physics
“A long buildup over electronic sounds in the style of Aphex Twin's bucephalus bouncing ball. A nice combination of experimental electronic sounds and more musical creative rock a la Tortoise.”

“Like an indie jug band. Another great song.”

“Banjo, a variety of percussion, electronic blips and bleeps, nice harmonies, and a hell of a catchy tune. Great find.”

“light, nonsensical indie-pop. stuck in my head pretty much all the time”

“Ever wanted to hear a story about two children getting whisked away to a mystical musical land, set to enigmatic indie rock? Here's your chance.”

“This guy covers a lot of ground. Here, it's a paired-down Postal Service meeting with Animal Collective, featuring a simple guitar tune, layered vocals, and a low fi drum track. And not to forget the obligatory weird sample. Nice song.”

Track: They Built a City in My Country Mind
(

Album: The Wordless Conversation
Artist: Pet Ghost Project
“Lots of layering buildups, and the occasional tempo change make parts of the album reminiscent of Tortoise, but there's a good bit of rock guitar work here too. Well crafted music.”

“A really nice setting of singer/songwriter vocal and acoustic work against a darker reverb-y backdrop.”

“This album proves that old school, straight-up rock and roll can still sound fresh and fun. And it rocks pretty hard too.”

“I agree with Joffi. What more could you ask of bebop? Or any genre, for that matter?”

“I wouldn't presume to rate Miles himself, but this is a pretty nice collection of classic early work.”

“It's like taking a time machine to the heart of the 1980's. It's pretty cheesy, but maybe just enough to come out on the other side and be "hip." Synthesizers are in, right? Besides, it's pretty fun. No, really, I'm not being defensive.”

“Straightforward guitar rock with pop hooks and gruff vocals reminiscent of Spoon.”
