Back To Mine with Compact Disk Dummies

Neil Young – On The Beach

This song has a special kind of melancholy, so simple yet so hauntingly atmospheric and emotional.

Connan Mockasin – Forever Dolphin Love (Erol Alkan rework)

This is what the word ‘remix’ was invented for. The already great original with Connan’s epic ambiguous voice is lifted up a thousand times more by mr Alkan.

Outkast – Liberation

Outkast will always be the ultimate hiphop formation to me. This song from their killer album Aquemini features Cee Lo Green, Erykah Badu and a strong message.

Duran Duran – The Chauffeur

The final song on their superb 1985 album Rio. The production is off the roof, with the out-of-tune piano and Le Bon’s awesome vocals. Once the drums kick in, this song is an absolute banger. I recall Deftones made a cover of this.

Grimes – Genesis

There’s something so mesmerizing about Grimes and it’s impossible to pin down what it is exactly. Let’s give it a try: K-pop meets dark 80’s synths and an incredible alien-like voice.

Talk Talk – It’s My Life

Just one of the best songs ever written. Period.

Talk Talk - It´s My Life

David Bowie – Right

A soulful outing from the master himself off of his ‘Young Americans’ album. Just Brilliant. Always gives me chills.

Metronomy – On Dancefloors

Before making the layered and detailed poprecord ‘The English Riviera’, Joseph Mount made stripped, lofi, cold yet amazingly charming electropop. From the album ‘Nights Out’, which is destined to become a Future classic.

Stevie Wonder – Another Star

Eight minutes of pure salsadisco-genius. He played almost all parts of this record himself. Need I say more?

Late Of The Pier – Heartbeat

What about sitting at home and wanting to trash the place instead of chilling you say? Well, for those times, i might listen to postpunk like At The Drive In or Blood Brothers, metal like Mastodon or just a combination of it all with a crazy energy.

Compact Disk Dummies

Half of this Belgian duo was still wearing diapers when The Crash Test Dummies had their moment of fame; the other half wasn’t even born yet. There’s a fair chance they don’t even know the Canadian band that music lovers might think about when they hear their name. Musically they couldn’t have been more different, as these two guys from Kortrijk make music that’s energetic, experimental and full of pumping bass lines. After winning the prestigious Rock Rally competition (former finalists: Deus, Goose, …) they were quickly added to the Belgian electro family of Goose, The Subs and Front 242.

“Holy Love” is the first single from the forthcoming album “Silver Souls”.

Benelux release on 6/05/2016 on N.E.W.S. records (Netsky,…)
Album was produced by Gareth Jones (Depeche Mode, Erasure, These New Purtians) and Shameboy (Stromae, Girls in Hawai).
