Good music? Let's see... Lately I've listened to a few good ones, including the Snatch soundtrack (really good, broad mix of techno, ska and even some old Madonna), Andrea Parker (odd mix of Portishead-like breathy, sombre vocals, drum 'n bass and string arrangements but mostly works well), Del Mar (uneven mix of ambience and some chill, with Goldfrapp, Dido and many others), and some beautiful, haunting music by Thomas Otten, a French classically trained singer who sings his own strange version of Latin-sounding words, giving a gorgeously rich, Dead-Can-Dance kind of sound. But mostly I've been savouring Kid A by Radiohead. I really think they're light years ahead of any other band.
