SHREM'S LATE MONDAY NIGHT SESSIONS ON TUESDAY INSTEAD...
SEA SPRAY by Loné
Got it all mixed up because of the bank holiday w/end:-) Here's a little jolly number I found on one of Gilles Peterson's never-failing-to-impress compilations literally a few moments ago... Sweet lofty laziness of sounds dipped in a full summer sun

SHREM'S INSTITUTE OF LOST CLASSICS PRESENTS...
LIPSTICK ON THE GLASS by Maanam
1980's Polish Punk prime act and their breakthrough single, cult thing in Poland big time. This and LUCIOLA were quite possibly most accomplished songs released in my heavy communism driven homeland back in the decade... I'd love 2 hear ur opinions especially from the Non-Poles;-)

MYSPACE
I remember the moment very vividly. The very first time I heard the song on the radio while at home in Poland. Still feel equally electrified every single time I go for this 6 minutes long sonic journey of exquisite sounds. Credited as La Madone on Mirwais Ahmadzaï's debut album "PRODUCTION" this was and still is Madonna's strongest song moment of her entire catalogue in my humble opinion. The lyrics, the production, the melody, the vocoder, the goosebump causing strings, the whole package - it is the one classified as MASTERPIECE in my music library. Sadly because of Madonna's huge commercial success many music nerds could have easily missed out on this one on purpose. Well it is my most beloved musical moment of the past 10 years. Period. Very subjective I know, but hey this is how this blog works:-) So ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls I give you PARADISE (NOT FOR ME) - Shrem's favourite song of the decade:

20 (N) - BABY (CLOCK OPERA) - Phenomenal Handclap Band
19 (N) - PEOPLES POTENTIAL - Floating Points
18 (N) - BE MY SAILOR - Zeebee - whoever fell in love with Waldeck's BALLROOM STORIES should definitely check Zeebee's new solo album also produced by Klaus Waldeck himself... Miss Zeebee in top vocal form (= g.o.o.s.e.b.u.m.p.s.)
17 (N) - MADE FOR LOVE - José James Feat. Flying Lotus - while counting the minutes down until Flying Lotus' brand new LP comes out, HERE's a neo-soul feast 2 make the waiting more bearable
16 (N) - 不自然なガール (FUSHIZEN NA GIRL) - Perfume
15 (15) - MOMMA'S PLACE - Róisín Murphy - 4 months in a row in my end of the month charts says it all doesn't it?
14 (N) - WONDERFUL LIFE (ARTHUR BAKER REMIX) - Hurts ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
13 (2) - JOSEPHINE - Cubic Zirconia - this year's most uncompromised dance record, ladies and gentlemen once again Slappy Josephine
12 (N) - MAKE MY HEART - Toni Braxton - this clubbing season is all about shoulder shaking :-)
11 (N) - BROKEN SPELL - Timewriter Feat. Theresa Baltimore - deep house heaven
10 (N) - FOREVER NO MORE - Hard Ton - well it is by far THE BEST artwork I have seen in years!!!
09 (N) - LOOKING AT THE STARS - Sally Shapiro - just the cutest sounds of Europe at the minute, MY GUILTY PLEASURE still delivers shivers, now also released in a special remix package. Hi-Fi sounds not only for the young Norwegians...
08 (N) - BELONG - Washed Out - impossible 2 classify intriguing sonic adventures in lo-fi, drop me a line if u come up with any ideas genre-wise, LISTEN
07 (N) - WHY DOES THE WIND - Tracey Thorn - THE voice is back! Produced by Underworld's Ewan Pearson beautifully crafted piece of exquisite POP also available as a free download courtesy of TraCeY tHorN herself

04 (N) - HIGH TOGETHER - Siriusmo - additionally 2 recently released excellent remixes for Bodi Bill, Breakbot and Ben Mono, here's why Siriusmo is the project 2 keep an eye (and both ears!) on, if Daft Punk were anyway creative these days they could quite easily sound as brilliant as THIS
03 (N) - 4TH OF JULY - Kelis - this is going 2 b a hugely divalicious album, even better than ACAPELLA...
02 (1) - ROYAL T - The Crookers Feat. Róisín Murphy - La Murphy strictly gets involved in astonishing projects, here's her sexy mélange with the boys from sunny Italia
01 (N) - I FEEL BETTER - Hot Chip - it's exactly one month since I downloaded it first and my i-choons library tells me it has been played 41 times already on different but always delectable occasions, it is a masterpiece of a pop song in my humble opinion, hear it again HERE

SHREM'S FUTURE ANTHEMS: CELESTICA - Crystal Castles
Every so often there comes a song that grabs your full attention from the very first listen. Here's a perfect example. Canadian duo returning with their album number two. What an ethereal song moment. It just drifts somewhere there above us. MAGIC
