This just came out last month and was recommended to me by a friend who saw Baths perform. There is an intoxicating and soothing quality to it. You electronic geeks out there will love it I think.

I hate the realization of the work week coming back. The weekends lately just serve to recharge my batteries enough to make it until the next weekend. Perhaps a little downtempo will help set the pace in my mind? I bet my boss will be none too happy when I refuse to take my headphones off though!
By the way, this song, and all the other songs on the "'64-'95" album by Lemon Jelly, have a sample from the year in the title. This song uses a sample from Monica's 1995 R&B song "Before You Walk Out of My Life", and from it creates what I think is a better song.

Track 9: Come To Me:

In my mind, this album (and perhaps her following album "Post") are the cream of the crop in Björk's many decades of making music, including her time as part of "The Sugarcubes". Debut is clearly my favorite. In college, my roommate and turned on music to sleep to and there were only a handful of albums we both agreed to, and this was one of them.
In this album Björk really struck a balance between a popular dance sound, her own experimentation, and her sometimes folk-ish sound. She was unlike anything else, and yet familiar enough to be accessible. I thought it was brilliant. I still listen to this one more than any of her others before or since. I also thought mixing the faster paced dance tunes with some songs that are so beautiful and thoughtful really showed her range. She cannot be pigeon-holed into one genre easily. She may be quirky at times, or even come across as elite, eccentric, or haughty with her experimental sound, but that makes her all the more human and real to me.
Here are my 5 favorites from the album, with "Come To Me" being my favorite. "Come To Me" is not the obvious choice, but it is so good. Comforting & familiar. Smooth & warm. Really a great yet mostly unknown love song.
