"Kind of Blue" is generally recognized as one of greatest jazz albums of all time. Quadruple Platinum ? Not sure I can count that high. Listen to this sublime set as Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Cannonball Adderley, Wynton Kelly, Paul Chambers, Jimmy Cobb and Bill Evans experiment with modal Jazz.

Russian Emo Angst Electronica Ballads. Kinda like Grimes meets Bjork then Pussy Riot crashes the party. "Underground Fairy Tale" was released by IC3Peak on September 29, 2018. It is a must listen. Unless you are Czar Putin. Then you'll hate 'em. "Once you felt the pain – you will feel it again. I don’t cry over you. Only cold can burn out tears on my face. I wish I could never see . . . What’s hidden ahead . . . My heart is so heavy – I’m falling into abyss . . . While it’s turning in stone from the inside . . .   I come from a Russian horror fairy tale. It doesn’t matter where you’re from. I am not afraid of daylight. There is enough darkness here. This world gives you everything you ask for. But it takes it all away when you least expect." Exactly what Fyodor Dostoevsky would have written had he played club dates in Russia in 2018 . . .

Indila brings wondrous Franco Alt Pop . . . and a great album from 2014 . . . entitled "Mini World." Youssoupha compliments her sound with French Hip Hop and an EP named "We Know Each Other." I guarantee the coolest coffee shops from Montreal to Paris are playing these tracks. How come you ain't listening ?

Songs of Sorrow, Hope and Redemption by MS MR, Broken Bells, Eagle Eye Cherry, Florence and the Machine, Gene Loves Jezebel, Gwen Stefani, Nico, Zoo Brazil, Momoland, AOA, ChoA & Iron.

Selections from four Ariel Pink Albums. Chillwave at its best.

"Anatomic" by Afro Celt Sound System. Celt melodies with African beats. Also Visa Versa. Yeah !

Dance till you drop. Repeat as necessary.

JP and Zoe Marat present the latest release from Cat Power entitled "Wanderer" released in early October 2018.
