You probably haven't heard of them, but Supreme Beings of Leisure should be on the cover of the next CD you purchase.
About two years ago they came out with their first album. I found it at a listening station in a Border's. It was next to some techno and trip-hoppy stuff, so I gave it a listen. It didn't outright grab me at first, but it had elements of a lot of stuff I liked, so I bought it.
That CD is still in my car. It's this great mix of groovy, sexy and danceable stuff. Hard to categorize them, other than music that makes you feel good. So finally, Divine Operating System (DOS) came out last week. Best Buy didn't have the CD (fuckers), but sure enough, Border's did have it again. Heck, they had it on a front rack in quantity. Either they're paying for position or somebody really believes in this album.
The same thing applies here, it doesn't grab you the first time through. Then, after you've listened to it a few times, you hear all of the subtlties and layers and you're drawn into it.
The sounds vary by track. "Give Up" has a disco touch while "Catch Me" is this beautifully orchestrated piece. "Get Away" makes you wanna shake your ass. "Rock and a Hard Place" and "Calamity Jane" have this sexy chill sound. The only track I really dislike is "Divine," which is just too 70's for me. It doesn't fit in the context of the rest of the album.
So if you're looking for something that relaxes you and makes you feel good, give the Supreme Beings of Leisure a try. You won't be disappointed.
