The Atomic Mr Basie
Count Basie & His Orchestra
Pleasant background music, like the soundtrack to every '50s crime B film. Listenable but nothing to write home about.

Depeche Mode
Its alright, like most 80s synth pop its a bit limp wristed, lacking depth and excitement.

Heaven Or Las Vegas
Cocteau Twins
Fairly standard synth pop with a good voice on top. Need to work on their lyrics though. Songs don't really go anywhere or not anywhere I want to go. Singer elevates them to 3 stars.

Songs In The Key Of Life
Stevie Wonder
Good album if you like this sort of thing...however I found the sameness of the singing a bit tedious and some of the songs inordinately long. At 21 tracks its just too much boredom for one sitting.

Not my thang! The clinical production robs the songs of character leaving it a bit dull.
