OK, let's put two games together: One band for each letter of the alphabet. Then pick only one song from each ...

Bonus points if you make a mixtape and upload as an mp3 somewhere :-)

minna, what is that camp lo track like? i like coolie high and luchini.

well, like those two songs it's pretty laid back. it uses an early 80s rnb song for the hook "feels so real that my mind won't let go" - a bit like tom tom club's 'genius of love' in feel (but not as good, hehe.) actually, i thought this song was a bit drab when i first downloaded it but it's grown on me cos of the vocal hook and the uplifting swooping noises that end in a burst of glitter. it's not as street-wise as the other camp lo tracks.
