Zup guys ?

2006 was the turning point in my music taste. I turned from hip-hpü and rap to electronic/instrumental hip-hop/drum and bass/ninja tune. It was weird but i just love the music. I now kinda hate rap and so on. It's pretty baaaaaaaad. ;D
To give you any clues about it I decided to think of the three albums that were the most memorable this year.
1. Amon Tobin - Foley Room
Let's just say that this is one of the most amazing things that happened to music... ever. Weirdly there isn't any album covers in google but that doesn't matter. The album is pure genius. Starting with tunes that are mysterious, dark and really frightening but awesome songs like Esthers (which was also used in the trailer), ending with cheerful and catchy tunes like Always. This is a quality album that everyone in remote interest of Amon Tobins music or any kind of electronic music in general should buy. My favourite album in the year 2006.
2. Madlib - Shades of Blue
He was the man that introduced me the world of instrumental hip-hop. The world of catchy beats. I like Shades of Blue just because I like it. I mostly listen to it when I really need to just CHILL ^^. Songs like Montara, Steppin' Into Tomorrow really create the mood for just chilling and relaxing. Try It. Other than that it's a wonderfully composed album that really shows what Madlib is capable of.
3. Röyksopp - Meldoy A.M.
I first heard Röyksopp from the radio ? Remember Me was the song I think. It really didn't caught my ear. About 2 weeks ago I was just surfin' on last.fm and i got on their artist page and listened to the 0.30 second preview of the song Eple and man was I surprised. It was an amazing piece of electronical art. It had the catchy sample behind it and overall i really loved the song. This lead me to buying the album and listening to it 3 times in a row. Other than that there are some tracks worth mentioning - Easy, Poor Leno and Röyksopp Night Out would be my choises.
That's it. ^^ Later.
