Beach House / Hed Kandi : 4 of 5
7.08.2004 5:58 PM \| Link	Several years ago when I was listening to Echo internet radio, I heard some songs from the Disco Kandi series and bought a few CDs. I was immediately hooked, but it's been tough to collect them since they are produced by an British label called Hed Kandi, which is tough to find imported at a decent price. A couple of weeks ago Tower Records had a 25%-off all imports sale, so I went crazy and ordered the rest of the series, plus this Beach House compilation, since it seemed like a nice set to listen to in the summer sun. I'm glad I ordered it - these are some nice, groovy, mellow but not too mellow tunes, and they're wonderful to listen to while driving, reading, or falling asleep in the sun. Several of the tracks have a latin feel (but all of them maintain a slightly dance or house feel) - I could listen to some of them (such as Cruisin' by Can 7) all day. As with the other Hed Kandi releases, this is a two CD set in a very cool case held together with a magnet, with awesome graphic design and cool fine print such as "Always play in direct sunlight". I can't wait to listen to the other sets I bought - they should keep me going quite a while! Labels: cds
