This record left our Brian feeling ecstatic.

Album of the week then? Well if we were to have one then we'd make it a comp and it would be this delightful beast.....Denmark's Sopa label have compiled a superb 44 track opus of bewitching sounds from around the world, encompassing many genres & styles. It's called 'Sopa Deliciosa' (Spanish for delicious soup - very apt) and over the course of 2 and a half hours you get Terry Riley-esque toytown experiments, avant hip hop, smoky alt rock, discordant femme-psych trash-dirge, Woozy electronica, spellbinding Gothic folk (The Sad Lovers' track is divine, for instance), lo-fi experiments,.... oh I could go on but lets just say this fine collection is derived from sources in Denmark, Germany, Italy, Holland, USA, Canada, France, Belgium, Sicily and Bosnia. If you are an open minded soul & want to experience some eclectic new music that may just lead you down other paths of curiosity (Lets face it, there's gonna be some real surprises for most ears on here - your new favourite band could just be waiting for you here!) Really, this is the way to check out what's on the horizon in my opinion without having to scour pitchfork or god forbid the NME! Give this a shot i implore you!

Not really a review from me. But Brian's review made me ecstatic! ;-) I put out the cd on SOPA. Anyone curious can listen to some of the tracks and read about all the artists at www.sopa.dk/sopadeliciosa . Yup, just a little service information. Best greets, Lars
