    Album Club: Week 50: 17.07.12: Aya - Strange Flower (2004) (CD)



    Spotify:



    It's also on Grooveshark, but fewer tracks. You can see it here


    Aya's Wiki page is here



    This is one of my favorite albums. Every now and then, whenever I am looking through my library I end up playing this album. It's not new, and if you like it there are the other artist that record on the same label (Naked Music) - the likes of Blue Six, Lisa Shaw, Gaelle, etc. I do recomend a listen to the others as well. Just look for Naked Music.
    This is a soft, yet energetic (groovy, catchy) album. The kind of electronic chill that leaves you tapping your feet and moving your head. Put this on your Hi-Fi, sit back and have a listen.

    Good choice Osvaldo - I have this but not played it in a while - I'll look forward to a fresh listen.

    I guess my voting option number 1 out of 10 should say: Osvaldo, you suck!




    Quick Alex, save me. Tell me you found the disc

    Not the type of music I listen to, but I can see its appeal for some, its just not for me....

    I'm a bit pop and electronica shy I'm afraid

    Hi Osvaldo, I'll get around to listening to this tomorrow, kids are in bed now and my current headphone rig won't do it justice. I did have a quick flick through the tracks on my laptop (it's got a tiny subwoofer so it sounds areet for a lappy) and it is right up my street. Looking forward to hearing it on the big rig

    Hi Osvaldo,

    I really like it, although its a little bit laid back, even for me!

    Sounds very good indeed through the Neats and I especially like the bass rhythm and her sultry voice.

    We've got some friends coming around for a BBQ at the w/e and I might just put this on. On the hifi, not the BBQ

    Nice one, 8/10 for me,
    Martin
