This is my end-of-year mix of the best stuff I've heard this year. Sorry about the all-caps, that's an artifact of copying it from the CD sleeve. 1. FIRST EMBRACE - BIKE FOR THREE 2. MIGHTY STORM - THE DUHKS 3. PASSENGER 24 - MELISSA McCLELLAND 4. DANCING ON OUR GRAVES - THE CAVE SINGERS 5. AIN’T NO GRAVE - CROOKED STILL 6. M79 - VAMPIRE WEEKEND 7. FAITES TES JEUX - MODERNAIRE 8. I BELIEVE - THE REAL TUESDAY WELD 9. AUTOCLAVE - THE MOUNTAIN GOATS 10. NO IDEA HOW - BIKE FOR THREE 11. FOLSOM PRISON BLUES - EVERLAST 12. SCARECROW - NATHAN 13. NATURAL - OKAY 14. BIG LOG - ALISON & VIKTOR KRAUSS 15. THE DEPARTURE - BIKE FOR THREE Most of this can be downloaded legally from emusic. Bike for Three is amazing, but their album hasn't been released yet... you can find them on MySpace and Facebook. The Alison Krauss song is available on iTunes. Here's a blog post I did called "100 Albums That Changed My World" which should give you an idea of whether our tastes are compatible: commandax.blogspot.com/2008/11/100-albums-that-changed-my-world.html |

Watched the movie but the soundtrack did not pull me in. (I'll check it out again & really listen)
I find allot of fantasy/horror soundtracks are actually the most beautiful & romantic.
Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992) is another really beautiful movie score.
Thanks

Hey Amin -
Based on your current list, I think you would really dig BECK - especially the album "Odelay"!

Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992) is another really beautiful movie score. Thanks Yeah, it has very modern, but beautiful soundtrack. "Godspeed You Black Emperor" put it together. It is not too typical for horror movies though. Maybe I am just biased as I really like the movie. Yeah, Beck is great too, though I think "Sea Change" is one of the best albums out there. I haven't much listened to his new one, anybody know if it is good? |

"Sea Change" is excellent (thats Tara's favorite). I personally don't have a favorite - I love all Beck's work, depending on my mood. They are all so stylistically different. BUT, if I had to pick one it would be "Odelay" His new one ("The Information") is incredible IMO - like all Beck, its different from all before it so it grows on you over time (its very layered). Those are the ones that I end up liking the most over time - the ones that arent obvious  jIm |

The not so obvious ones I also end up liking best:)
"The Information" I like too, but I think he just came out with a more recent one - "Modern Guilt" - which I hear is more along the lines of Sea Change.
