Lets hope this trend is shared by others. It's live, hot and it will be stuck in your head forever! Highlights for me are 'I've lived on a dirt Road all my life' and 'Every Time she turns around it's her birthday.' This new direction in sound is a great place to take electronic music. Not just another album that involves pressing buttons on a laptop and a drum sequencer. You could pick any song off this album and play it after a track by Microstoria or the Stone Roses and the flow will be equally as good. This album is a collection of feel good songs, a perfect blend of space pop, jazz, electronica and strange quiet blippy music box noises found in-between songs. Dan is leaving behind his laptop approach to music and making way for live performers to add to his electronic grooves. 'Up in Flames' has catchy space vocals, beats, fantastic horn pieces, fuzz, glockenspiel bits and real guitar and bass. And yes, it is electronic music even though it may not sound like it at first. Although more structured, these songs are not nearly as predictable as his older stuff. But don't worry, there are all sorts of quiet strange blips, creaks and other weird samples keeping it all together. These new songs differ from the others released by Manitoba in the sense that these tracks are more structured, less ambient and just more lively and energetic.

On the Start menu (for Windows 8, right-click the screen's bottom-left corner), click Control Panel, and then, under Programs, do one of the following: Windows Vista/7/8: Click Uninstall a Program. Even though it is only April I can say that this will make my 'top ten' list for this year. Or, you can uninstall LANDesk Software from your computer by using the Add/Remove Program feature in the Window's Control Panel. To say the least this album is a MUST for any music collection. Who would have thought that he would blow our minds twice as hard with his second release 'Up in Flames'.

He blew everyone's mind away in 2000 with his debut release 'Start Breaking my heart' making people's 'best of' lists and charting pretty much everywhere.
