Where’s the Beat? Live in the WFMU Studios [coll] – [Wfmu]

humana   7/13/2008   A Library, CD

Compilation: This special premium for WFMU???s 2008 fundraiser has something for everyone–it begins with Lau Nau???s unique brand of Finnish folk (CD1, 1) and ends with Marissa Nadler???s high-pitched folk crooning (CD2, 13), with a variety of genres sandwiched between. There???s an abundance of rock, with standouts from Sloan (CD2, 9) Kelley Stoltz (CD1, 6), and Armitage Shanks (CD2, 11). There are fine electronics from Antiguo Automata Mexicano (CD1, 9); some cool jazz from Slow Six (CD2, 4); and some stellar international conga and island flavor from the Budos Band (CD2, 5) and Extra Golden (CD2, 12). Give it a try–you won???t be disappointed. PGM: CD2, 4 gets very quiet at 0:20, and CD2, 10 basically ends at 0:17 with irrelevant talking.
