Blackball - "super heavy dreamscape" (1996 metro one)

Blackball was a side project of precious death vocalist and lyricist chris scott.
this was the first of their two albums.
mostly a good bit different from precious death, definitely more 'poppy', but still excellent.
a bit lighter, but chris's awesome vocals are still here and some great songwriting throughout.
it might not have aged that well...but fuck it. it was great in 1996 and i, for one amongst many, can still appreciate it for what it was. i'm sure i'm dating myself for loving this album, but once again, fuck it :)
"wither", "super heavy dreamscape" and "not the way i want to be" are some of my faves.
enjoy:)

MEW - "half the world is watching me" (2000 evil office)



from user starfire from rateyourmusic.com:
Second release from Danish alternative pop wonders Mew, and quite a fulfilling piece of work. The album kicks off with the intense "Am I Wry? No" which is followed by three pure pop songs, "Mica" being the most successful of these. Whereas the first half of the album, except for the opening track, is pretty straightforward pop music, the second half is more moody, starting out with the piano/guitar-driven "Her Voice is Beyond her Years", a duet between lead singer Jonas Bjerre and elf-like Swedish singer Stina Nordenstam. It's followed by the strange, but catchy "156", before entering la grande finale with the ballad "Symmetry", a sweet duet between Jonas Bjerre and American teenager Becky Jarret, and the last track, the majestic nine-minute epic "Comforting Sounds".

1 Am I Wry? No (4:42)
2 Mica (2:58)
3 Saliva (4:08)
4 King Christian (4:26)
5 Her Voice Is Beyond Her Years (4:22)
6 156 (4:47)
7 Symmetry (5:18)
8 Comforting Sounds (8:44)
