Atomica - Metropolitan

Artist: Atomica
Album: Metropolitan
Year: 2005
Genre: Trip-Hop, Electronica, Downtempo
Description: Fans of Bjork, Portishead, or any kind of music that's been described as "downtempo" will be in audio-heaven with this release. "Metropolitan" manages to sound somber without being depressing, intelligent without being pretentious, and relaxing without being boring and forgettable. While the programming and musicianship is top-notch throughout the entire album, Lauren Cheatham is truly the main attraction. Her soft, beautiful voice fits the tone and mood of the songs perfectly.

Great cover of the Doors "People Are Strange". The whole album is great, ambient intense melodies, very emotional stuff. Amazing band, complex, hi-quality music, not to be missed (They will be big)!
