I was surprised that only one man has reviewed this, 'cause it should get much more attention. And then by seeing 4 stars as a rating, I was even more surprised. My ratings for the songs:1: (5/5) Sounds like there's a very happy man, whistling while walking through the fields, with the sun on his head. This is the song that really stays in your mind the first time you get to hear the album.
2: (5/5) Great chorus in this song, sounds a bit '50, but that's a good thing. The song stays in your head for a long time, at least in my head. Sounds like there are two people lying in the grass just enjoying the moment. Once you hear it, you understand what I mean.
3: (5/5) Nice song, vocals remind me of Moby. Very well build up, at the end everything fits together. This song gets me in the happy mood all the time.
4: (5/5) Can't describe it. I've tried, but I can't. But believe me, it's worth 5/5.
5: (4/5) A bit boring, but at the end the song gets better. Makes me think about a snake coming out of it's basket by hearing a flute.
6: (4/5) Good song, but it's nog a standout.
7: (4/5) When I close my eyes, I see a guy on a banjo walking through the streets, and while playing he gets the attention of the other people and bladibladibla everyone was happy. The song can get boring after a while.
8: (5/5) Heavy piano, gets you banging your head. Well done
9: (5/5) Tell me how you feel!!!! Hypnotising!
10: (5/5) Great combination of slow hitted chords on a harp with nice drum programming on the background and a trumpet-like (???) thing making the melody.
11: (5/5) Sounds like some man from the Middle East is pinging on his gitar with very nice beats on the background.

Conclusion: I think it's a CD you will listen to 'till it's broke. If you like Röyksopp or the latest CD's by Moby, you will certainly like this one. And not that this band is a copy of one of the named above, it really has it's own style. I can't get enough of it and I think it can get the same effect on many other people. Try it, buy it and, most importantly, like it! I think you will! The title doesn't sound very promising (referring to B-Sides), but when you have listened to it, you will hear what I mean! It's the besto Bonobo album available at the moment.
