The Minogue Sisters

Anyone with any interest in electronic music has certainly heard of Kylie Minogue. But have you heard of her younger sister Dannii? Following in her big sister's footsteps, and sounding quite similar, which is not necessarly a bad thing, Dannii puts out a tune that is quite soothing for a Friday evening. Though the video visuals are on the cheesy side (is it me or do all female electronic vocalist videos look the same), the song is great.



And her older sister Kylie, with one of her best tunes. Poor girl has battled breast cancer but is still going strong and looking great for 42. I absolutely love her 2002 hit song "Love At First Sight" which she has said talks about falling in love with electronic music a DJ played and forever being hooked. Not so much different from my story falling in love with electronic music as a kid.

Tron Legacy: Reconfigured


The Oscars are only confirming to me that it is just elitist back-patting with Daft Punk being ignored for even a nomination in the best movie scores of 2010. Tron Legacy was an excellent movie, but the soundtrack was simply superb, with nothing but critical acclaim. These two extremely talented robots mix drum machines & electrons with strings & trumpets to create the acoustic Tron universe that stirs as much emotion as it does disc battling conflict.

"Tron Legacy: Reconfigured ", a remix album, has been created for Daft Punk's Tron Legacy soundtrack by some electronic music heavy hitters such as The Crystal Method, Photek, Moby, Paul Oakenfold and Pretty Lights. Lets keep hoping the rumors are true and another Tron movie is green-lit with Daft Punk back at the musical helm, so yet another remix album will come about.
