You can hit me, but i like this record. I agree not so much as I do like Timo Maas his album, but there are some great tunes on this one too. Ok, and not all the tracks, especially not the raver-like ones. Well, comparing Timo and Paul is what everybody does, Timo's more underground, Paul is more for the public, i really don't know. Names like Shifty, Ice Cube, Tricky, and Nelly Furtando are the warranty of a best seller mainstream album. And it works. As I told, you can hit me. I am mad about how Shifty from Crazy Town sings .... dance all night to this deejaaay. :) hehe... cheap trick. (remember? Yama buttafly suga baba)

Why not a D&K record? Why G.A. again ? Well just becous i think i have to tell you my version of the G.A. story. It was the may of 1999, after I re-experienced the electronic music, i made a trip to the netherlands. it was a rainy (what else) morning, an old dutch female friend of my was married on that day. i tuned on the radio and i heard if everybody looked the same. i was shocked by the rhythm, i started to move my feet (i always do, okey, okey) and i knew i have to get this record. it wasn't released that time. so i came back to hungary, with two and half minutes of that song on a BASF C90 tape, and i was visiting all possible record shops in the town. nobody knew groove armada that time. i did.

the avalanches again
How could they mix Donald Duck with Azzido Da Bass? How do they know, that Osmonds Let me in and America's Ventura Highway are twintracks? How could they make you smile and happy just playing a Jackson 5 sample? They know their music,and most of all, they know and love their records. Every single second.

Actually that's my favorite album of all time. (Right after REM's Out of time) Not becouse of that Madonna 'Holiday' sampler. Not just. It's totally crazy, however coherent, full of love, humor, and friendly sadness. And I bet, I was one of the first who owned this CD in Hungary. Why do I write this now? Cos I've been listening to a 25 minutes live set of Avalanches... and I thought there's no reason for me after this to act like a guy who can handle music. They can.
