Wooglie's Thoughts

Every year I create a compilation CD of the year’s best music that I have come across and give it to friends and family around new year. (See below for some sample covers). As I’m always buying old CDs this isn’t just stuff released this year, so you do get an eclectic mix of songs. As I’m in South Africa for two weeks around Christmas/new year, I’ll be a bit late so I thought I’d share a few albums/songs that will definately feature on the CD.

The Feeling – Twelve Stops and Home.

This has got to be my album of the year. Some very catchy tunes and a very uplifting album. When I first heard “Sewn” on the radio, I really wanted to know who had written the song and then when I heard “Fill My Little World” I knew I had to get the album. Top album songs include Helicopter (a definite for T2006) and Blue Piccadilly.

The Brand New Heavies – Get Used To It

I’ve liked the Brand New Heavies since I heard “Apparently Nothing” and fell in love with the bass and vocal driven, funky music this group creates. They’ve changed numerous band members over the years, but I still like their new stuff. I think their style is called “Acid Jazz” for those of you in the know, but I love it. Not sure which is my favourite track off the new album, but you’ll find out when T2006 is released.
