Psyence Fiction: 15 Years To Unkle Debut Album

Unkle debut album Psyence Fiction was a promising one from the lineup that it featured. Jason Newsted from Metallica, Thom Yorke from Radiohead, DJ Shadow as the producer, Ian Brown from the Stone Roses and Richard Ashcroft from The Verve. James Lavelle and DJ Shadow made a dark Electronica/Trip Hip album that was inspired from so many artists so I won't count it here... They mixed a lot of songs from different eras adding voices and lyrics of the artist above and together they made one of the most inspiring albums of this  genre. It was released 15 years ago, on 29th of September, 1998. So it's good time to remember some of its highlights

Chaos (Feat. Atlantique Khan)

Lonely Soul (Feat. Richard Ashcroft)

20 Years To Radiohead's Debut Album - "Pablo Honey"

On the 22 of February 1993, Radiohead, a young Rock group from Abingdon, Oxfordshire released its debut album called Pablo Honey. The five members of the band: Thom Yorke, Johnny Greenwood, Colin Greenwood, Phil Selway and Ed O'brien couldn't imagine that they'll become one of the most popular bands in the world. The first single from that album, Creep, was ignored by Radio stations and didn't make it into the mainstream playlists. But then something changed. An Israeli DJ named Yoav Kutner discovered that single in kept playing it as much as he could. The band became famous in Israel and their popularity moved on by EMI representatives all over the world. 20 Years later, Pablo Honey still sounds relevant and vital, so here're five songs from that great release.

10 years for Beck Hansen's "Sea Change"

On the 24th of September it would be 10 years since Beck Hansen released his highly appreciated album called Sea Change (2002). The album was written after he broke up with his fiancee, Leigh Limon which cheated on him with a member of Whiskey Biscuit band. Nigel Godrich, which is known for his works with Radiohead had produced that album. The acustic sound was very different of what Beck has done and it was compared to Nick Drake's work and to Bob Dylan's albums from the 70's. So here are the 5 tracks which I like most from this album

1) Lonesome Tears

In 5 words: Breathe taking piece of art.
Favourite line: "Lonesome tears, I can't cry them anymore, I can't think of what they're for, Oh they're ruin me everytime"

2) Lost Cause

In 5 words: Brave and honest break-up song
Favourite line: "I'm tired of fighting, tired of fighting for a lost cause"

3) Round The Bend

In 5 words: I thought Nick Drake's alive
Favourite line: "We don't have to worry, life goes where it does; Faster than a bullet, from an empty gun"

4) Sunday Sun

In 5 words: Surprisingly electric and noisy one
Favourite line: "There's no other ending, Sunday sun"

5) The Golden Age

In 5 words: Great trip to an American night
Favourite line: "Put your hand on the wheel, let the golden age begin; Let the window down, feel the moonlight on your skin"
