This album from the Animal Collective seems to be on a lot of top 10 lists of 2009. (See Pitchfork ). Personally, I'm not yet sold on the entire album. Maybe I have to listen to it some more? That said, track number four, "Sumertime Clothes", is a great song:

Hard to describe this album but it's exellent. It's definitely an electronic genera with mellow beats that will have you nodding your head in agreement. It'll then switch to a simple guitar riff leading into vocals with sort of Crosby, Stills, and Nash undercurrents. Then it's back to almost experimental electronic but in a good - not beepy or loopy - way.

I've been listening to this Gui Boratto album and liking it a lot. It's minimalist techno but don't let that scare you. The tittle track (#5) is my favorite. Put the headphones on, crank it up, and picture a bunch of Germans dancing slowly in tight black clothing. (Actually Borrato is from Brazil)
