Star Trak/Virgin – Aug. 6, 2001
*N*E*R*D* – “Lapdance” (2001 Version) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7XNn09g2neA // https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_Search_of…_(N.E.R.D._album) // https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lapdance_(song) // ‘In Search of…’ is the debut studio album by American funk rock band N.E.R.D. On March 12, 2002, ‘In Search of…’ was re-released worldwide, with the largely electronic production backing of the album replaced by live backing provided by 1960s-style power pop band Spymob, giving the new version of the album a more rock-oriented sound. The skits and the intro from the original album were also dropped, significantly shortening the play length.*

Harmonic 33 – “Paranoia” (Inst. // Audio)
‘Music For Film, Television & Radio Volume One’
Warp Records – Feb. 7, 2005
*Harmonic 33 – “Paranoia” (Inst.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LyBSMFuVh-Y // https://www.discogs.com/release/375590-Harmonic-33-Music-For-Film-Television-Radio-Volume-One // https://www.allmusic.com/album/music-for-film-television-and-radio-vol-1-mw0000139339 // Mark Pritchard and David Brinkworth’s second Harmonic 33 album is much different than the first, 2002’s ‘Extraordinary People’. Hip-hop is flushed out in favor of a wide spectrum of library music and ’60s film scores. Despite all the noodling around, the two producers have created a concise 40-minute album with as many moods as ideas. Each track is liable to either remind you of a scene from a movie you’ve watched or help build imaginary sequences that run through your mind as you listen. It’s all done with such understanding and detailed craft that it transcends pure kitsch.*
