The remastering is great, noticeably bringing up the bass a little more in some songs. The 3 unreleased songs and 8 b-sides range from good to great.Stella Donnelly Beware of the Dogs4.0 excellentCaracara Summer Megalith"Summer Megalith" is the debut album for Caracara. It was co-produced by a former co-frontman of the band Modern Baseball. The music on this album is, as the band describes it, "distorted emotional music." I recommend checking out the music video for the song "Glacier" from the album, and that should give you pretty good feel for the band. I hope to write more about this album after a few more listens.Charlotte Gainsbourg RestFirst of all, I was pleasantly surprised by this album. I know I listened to one of Charlotte Gainsbourg's previous albums and liked it, yet it didn't really stick with me. I honestly can't remember much of it now. So, having listened to a lot of straightforward singer-songwriter albums this year, I expected something different when I saw this album's cover. This might be a lazy comparison, yet this album reminds me of Chromatics, as well as a more serious take on what M83 was doing on his latest album ("Junk"). Maybe also Air, whom I haven't listened to since their album Talkie Walkie. Charlotte's new album has a retro, dreamy, and late-night funky vibe. I like that some of the songs are longer than a standard 3-to-4 minute song. For example, "Deadly Valentine" is 6 minutes long. The song doesn't change much during that time, yet it's driving disco/synth beat is still catchy and satisfying throughout. I'm looking forward to giving this album some more listens.Kings of Convenience Peace or LoveThe two songs with Feist are excellent. I get that the guys are dedicated to the duo format, yet I really wish Feist would become a more official part of the group. She always shines when she features on their songs. The album overall is exactly what you'd expect from Kings of Convenience: gentle, breezy, and incredibly pretty & pleasant sounding. On first listen, I especially liked "Rocky Trail," "Love Is a Lonely Thing," "Fever," "Ask for Help," "Catholic Country," and "Washing Machine."Let's Eat Grandma I'm All Ears
