Don’t you just love discovering old music? It’s great finding an album that’s been around a while, and seeing how it can resonate with you in life right now.
That happens a lot on Murfie, since there are so many used albums in the $1 – $5 range that are easy to gobble up! Check out some of our favorites…
Brandon found Erasure by Erasure…
“I’d heard of Erasure many times but never actually listened to any of their music (outside of ‘Always’, the theme music from the video game Robot Unicorn Attack). This album had me hooked after track two! There are dance-y tracks and down-tempo grooves, featuring rich vocals and fascinating electronic elements and harmonies.”
Andrew found The Melody at Night, with You by Keith Jarrett…
“I hadn’t heard of Keith Jarrett until I ripped some of his albums for a vinyl kit. I didn’t think much of it until I recognized some of the melodies as samples on a mixtape I’ve really been digging lately. After checking out some of his other albums, I realized that he’s an extraordinary pianist and an even more remarkable composer.”
Jeff found Mescalito by Ryan Bingham…
“I heard this guy like, yesterday and was really floored. I don’t listen to a ton of Western-ish stuff and it may have my bleary state of mind. Apparently he sang the theme song from the film Crazy Heart, starring ‘The Dude’ Jeff Bridges.”
Kayla found The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill by Lauryn Hill…
“I’m late to get on the Lauryn Hill bus. After coming across this album on many ‘Best Of’ lists, I decided to give it a try, and I ended up really liking it. I’m impressed by Lauryn’s rhymes and the topics she focuses on, some of which are aimed at women from a woman’s perspective, which is great to hear in R&B. This album contains the catchy song ‘Doo Wop (That Thing)’.”
