THE DECADE IN SONGS 40 - 31

40 - HOUSE OF JEALOUS LOVERS - The Rapture - when all of a sudden in 2002 all music geeks were talking about was "DISCO-PUNK" again, just like in the early 80's...

39 - GET IT RIGHT - Y.A.S. - Mirwais Ahmadzaï and Yasmine Hamdan teaming up yet again 4 last year's biggest hit that never was... I have already been applauding it HERE

38 - SUNSHINE - Nicolette - it was the first single taken from her 3rd album LIFE LOVES US, the single version is just ace, Nicolette is a very rare and exceptional talent HERE is a link 2 Nicolette's facebook page which promises 2 premiere some of her brand new material very soon



37 - MOSES - Elizabeth Fraser - mesmerising long awaited come back of Cocteau Twins' Elizabeth Fraser, the most angelic vocals of England...



36 - IN FOR THE KILL - La Roux



35 - GOODBYE/FAREWELL - M83 - there's something very French about this piece... Very atmospheric, almost visual soundscapes, sends a shiver down my spine every single time...



34 - LIFE AFTER SUNDOWN - Glass Candy - another treasure of a song from their fabulous B/E/A/T/B/O/X

33 - CALL OF THE WILD - Gus Gus Feat. Jimi Tenor - nearly 8 minutes long electro-symphony that builds and builds and builds and leaves you dazed at its breathtaking beauty... Inspirational, inimitable and one-of-a-kind, another example of Gus Gus' genius here additionally accompanied by Finnish electronic wizard Jimi Tenor. Here's an edited video version:



32 - LOVE IN INDIGO - Escort - Studio 54 re-interpreted by this rather super-talented New York collective

31 - HUNG UP - Madonna - the most clever usage of sampling of the decade! No-one would dare 2 deny the pure brilliance of using ABBA's track in La Ciccone's best selling single of her entire career
