Moby

When I hear the name Moby, the first thing that comes through my head is innovation. Moby (Richard Melville Hall) played Hardcore Punk in the 80's, moved to Techno and Breakbeat and tried his luck in EDM, Electronica, Ambient  and a lot of more music styles. His Eleventh studio album Innocents, which was released a few days ago, is based on collaborations with various artists such as Mark Lanegan, Damien Jurado, Skylar Grey, Wayne Coyne (Of The Flaming Lips) and others. For my opinion, it's his best album since Play (1999), so take a little break to hear three new songs from this album and two earlier releases of this talented artist.

Almost Home with Damien Jurado (Innocents, 2013)

Feeling So Real (Everything Is Wrong, 1995)

The Last Day With Skylar Grey (Innocents, 2013)

Goldfrapp

Alison Goldfrapp and Will Gregory, are active since 1999. They began their career together when they were over 30 and released a magnificent debut album named Felt Mountain, which was Trip Hop and Soft Electronic. Their second, Black Cherry, was more Electronic than Trip Hop and than they tried other directions such as EDM (Supernature, 2005) and Ambient/Downtempo (Seventh Tree, 2008). So when I started listening to what they are preparing, I could just guess that it would be different from the other releases so far. Seems I was right. Their new release is an Acoustic, Soft Electronic and Trip Hop album. I can categorise it between their debut album and Seventh Tree. And it's good as it sounds. I know it might disappoint some of the EDM fans but, there are a lot of beautiful songs, mainly named after persons. I think that Tales Of Us is going to be one of my favourites this winter. Here are five songs by this wonderful duo from London.
