 |
The former lead singer of Moloko returns with her second album, which is a pop-dance-disco extravaganza. This is her "Confessions On The Dancefloor". Brilliant and atmostpheric pop music. |
2. Kent: Tillbaka Till Samtiden
 |
The
guitars have been pushed a bit into the back and the electronic elements have a more
dominant role on this album. However, it's still very much known territory and high
quality melancholy. About Kent |
3. Blue Foundation: Life Of A Ghost
 |
Dark Danish indie pop, mixing traditional pop music with flavours from both Asia and Scandinavia. A light female voice surrounded by layers of electronica and guitars and proof that there can be a lot of positive hope in melancholy. |
4. Interpol: Our Love To Admire
 |
Dark, melodic and insisting rock from New York. This is a real grower and an album for everyone who loves music with large dozes of melancholy and atmosphere. This band should have a much bigger following... |
5. Above & Beyond: Tri-State
 |
An ultimate collection of trance pop, covering all aspects of the genre: pop anthems, instrumentals, atmospheric ballads. An album to both dance and listen to and proof to me that there is still a place for trance in 2007. If you like Chicane, you must get this! |
6. Athlete: Beyound The
Neighbourhood
 |
Third album from Athlete - and the best one. The album sits somewhere inbetween the lo-fi trickery of their debut and the anthemic approach of their second album. Mixing glorious pop songs with unusual tweaks here and there really works well on this. |
7. Zazie: Totem
 |
Zazie
continues to lead the French pop scene with another album of high quality and immense
atmosphere. This is very French and yet also very universal. She manages to bring powerful
substance to fairly simple pop. About Zazie |
8. Hard-Fi: Once Upon A Time In
The West
 |
Second album from UK indie popsters. This is sophisticated songcraft with a keen ear for the good melodic pop song. An indie band with a priority for great sound and detail. |
9. Arctic Monkeys: Favourite Worst Nightmare
 |
Arctic Monkeys improve on their formula with a bit more focus on the detail and generally better crafted songs. A very consistent album of high quality power indie pop. |
10. Band Of Horses: Cease To Begin
 |
American indie rock with one of the year's highlights "Is There A Ghost" leading the album. A bit of pop, folk, singer-songwriter and rock, and out comes and album, which gently gathers all these elements into an atmospheric, powerful and highly listenable affair. |
