Latest Rhapsody Discoveries

Just wanted to point out some more great music I've discovered through listen.com Rhapsody. There's so much great stuff there. This time around I'm recommending Fischerspooner and Yerba Beuna.

Fischerspooner is a group I just shouldn't like, but do. They play 80s style new wave/techno pop complete with all the blips and bleeps that were so common in that music. I don't know what it is about them that makes it work, but it does. i guess there's just enough fusion of elements from other styles of music that it keeps the music from sounding like a bad 80s rehash. I shouldn't like them, but for some reason I love it.

Now explaining Yerba Beuna is tough, they're kind of a fusion between Santana, Beuna Vista Social Club, Nelly, Tito Peunte and maybe some Portishead. So I guess that makes them Latin Hip Hop Jazz Rock Trip Hop or something. I don't really know, but their sound has a really great vibe. The only thing that can be stated clearly is that they are latin music so if you don't like latin music you won't like this, also if you can't stand Hip Hop/Rap you probably won't like some of the songs either. Me? I think it's great.
