Faith and Disease - "beneath these trees" (2000 Projekt)

faith and disease delivers yet again (as does the wonderful projekt records btw) on this 2000 release of female fronted acoustic-leaning darkwave.
this stuff works on so many levels, music for so many occasions ...can't really put my finger on it..something nice n magical about this chilled out dark forest ride.
i could(and should) have spent more time on a better  bit of yakkity on this band and this release, but i opted for getting it up fast and watching a hannah montana marathon instead.   clearly, my priorities are in proper order.

native son and the foundation - "life in the grave" (1992 ocean)

little known side project from mark salomon of the crucified fame, not to mention neon horse, stavesacre, outer circle, and tons of work with industrial artists the likes of argyle park, chatterbox, and mortal.
this is early 90's hip hop/rap with a healthy dose of funk injected.  it sounds kinda dated and i've always liked it a bit, but i can't help but wonder where this could have gone if mark had gone further with it and let it progress.
"native son" has always been my favorite track, for what are probably obvious reasons, but they all have a strange charm to them and are growing on me more now than when i first heard them 17 (gasp!) years ago.
enjoy this sorta weird turn:)

1&2 - a day in the life / native son  (i combined them when i ripped this as they always sounded great together as intended)
