U.N.K.L.E.

Unkle=incredible. From Psyence Fiction, to Never, Never, Land and most recently War Stories, Unkle has given the world the DJ answer to bands like Explosions in the Sky. Anyone song can be listened to apart from the rest and be magical, or together with the whole album and be remarkable.

I present to you a song off each major release that I know of. For Psyence Fiction I could do the obvious and post Rabbit In Your Headlights, instead I will go for one of my personal favorites, Celestial Annihilation. Coolest. Song. Name. Ever. I remember buying this CD and a sticker on the front said, 'DJ Shadow with vocals!'. I was all, who the hell is DJ Shadow? Oh ye of little knowledge.

Next we have Never, Never, Land which saw the departure of DJ Shadow for I believe James Lavelle (or maybe Lavelle was already in Unkle...wiki it if you want to know more than I). A more ambient/soundtrack style was found here, but the since of urgency in all the songs was not lost. And because I can't decide between Reign and Eye For An Eye, you get both! (casual applause goes here)

Lastly we have War Stories. Yes, that is an epic album title. The music on the album does not disappoint. Food for though, when you go out looking to buy this album (which you will) be on the look out for the special 2 disc edition which is in a slick slipcase. Best part about however is the 2nd disc is the album with all the vocals stripped away. hothtoththohtoothohthotothot. Last song on the album is called When Things Explode, so freaking awesome. And for your listening pleasure, the (I think 'single') Burn My Shadow.
