The Prodigy "Always Outnumbered Never
Outgunned"
What can
you say….kicking beats and thumping bass lines that have us all
bouncing round the studio. Great stuff for getting you up and running
and the sales staff motivated. The public seem to love the atmosphere
when we get like this and it creates a good crowd. If you need to speed
sling….then you need something to sling too…..nothing works better than
the Prodigy for that. |

Kings of Leon "Aha Shake Heartbreak"
Quite
suggestive, sometimes rude lyrics and great guitars makes this a great
album to listen to whilst doing henna. Lose yourself in the album and
get on with the henna…..dare anything to distract you with this album
bar taking a 5 minute break to have a dance and then get back to doing
the henna. |

War Ina Babylon "Max Romeo & The
Upsetters"
Sunday
opener – Last thing the party heads of Brighton need on the Sunday is
anything to heavy….we save that for the stroke of Midday!!....Settling
in with something nice and mild as we know they have all been kicked
out of their hotel rooms and have hangovers to deal with. This CLASSIC
album soothes you soul and gets you in the right frame of mind for the
rest of the day. Produced by Lee Scratch Perry the music is magical
being everything that a reggae fan would love and still loves. Its
creative genius…..now does that help inspire your henna work? You bet. |

Red Hot Chilli Peppers "Greatest Hits"
Almost
feel like just leaving this one with C’mon it’s the Chilli Peppers does
it need any further review! But I’ll continue…. Need there be anything
more appealing? Everyone loves the Chilli Peppers!! I had a memorable
time this year at the shop with the waiting customers (8 of them) all
singing Californication and this was after I asked them to sit down
from jumping around the shop to Give it Away (If any of you are reading
this thanks….its a very good highlight of 2004 summer season!). Key
thing to a public studio or any studio is the atmosphere that you
create. Good music is a crowd puller every time. |

Morcheeba "Who Can You Trust?"
I play
this every season. Several times a year without fail. It reminds me of
how ive progressed in the art of henna and all the support ive
continued to have over the years. It also reminds me of when I met
Aimee my partner and this is our album. Nice and smooth Morcheeba is
best listened to as the sun goes down and again when it rises. This is
beautiful album. I met Aimee doing henna – for that alone ill always be
eternally grateful to this lovely art form |
