LEILA Choice CD Bjork collaborator for fans of (?) Aphex Twin Boards Of Canada

Description: Here's an under the radar album I love, which I bought a second copy of last week just because I felt like sharing it. People seem to get twisted trying to describe the music, and the difficulty in pigeonholing it is part of why it's so special. One review called it something like haunting but playful, which seems right to me. She played with Bjork and seemed to come from a scene that included Boards of Canada and The Aphex Twin but there's something unique in her sound: elements of electronica, classical, free jazz, psychedelia, r & b....vocalists make appearances (they aren't on this album, but she collaborated with Terry Hall and Martina Topley-Bird).....it's one of those albums where you press play and just give in to being taken on a trip you can't predict. Well, I hope you like it the way I do. Enjoy! review Leila's second album COURTESY OF CHOICE is a more focused effort than LIKE WEATHER, while losing none of her unique vision. "Brave," for instance, starts off with a music box theme before chugging into a string-covered R&B hybrid. Her music, as a whole, bounces between these two sides: the spare and filtered "Work" leads into the quasi-classical "From Before... What?" while the abstract and funky "Sodastream" (awash in feedback) goes into the equally abstract but more stately "Gush Goog." The blippy and emotive "To Win Her Love" fades into the free-jazz of "Thanks, Mr. Jones." For a complete change of mood, the folksy strumming of "To Tell a Lie" clears the air, and the playful, child-like "Be Clowns" is a funhouse ride that you never want to end. An alluring album, sometimes challenging, but always interesting.
