Dave Matthews Band

Under the Table and Dreaming (1994)

Rock, Funk, Jazz

This was DMB's first studio album, and it remains as one of their best. With their huge range of musical styles and incredible talent they are one of a kind, and a breath of fresh air from the processed, formulaic pop that plagues 95% of the radio waves today. This album does them great justice, although you'd be forgiven for not getting it on the first few listens. The album opens with "The Best of What's Around", which weaves melodically and vocally to what seems like no purpose. In fact, this becomes your opinion of the album, until the day when it all clicks. Suddenly "Satellite" becomes one of your most played songs, you love the comedic lift of "Ants Marching" and you chill out to the velvet sax solo in "#34". If you don't own a DMB album I'd recommend buying "Before These Crowded Streets" or "Everyday", but don't miss out on this masterpiece.

The Great Synchronisation

A few minutes ago I was sitting on a sofa with nothing to do, thinking, "maybe it's time for my annual blog entry". You may be wondering whether you should bother reading something that's been created simply because I had nothing better to do, but I submit to you that all good things are created that way. Think about it.
