http://www.notlame.com/CDNINE3.htmlThe Nines - Properties Of SoundOne of Not Lame`s favorite and best selling indie-released records from years back, The Wonderful World Of Colorful (get it now!) IS one of the best indie power pop releases from the 90`s. The follow up here, 4 years in the making, is very much NOT a disappointment and lives up the bands` reputation of delivering a hugely successful release here! 16 trax here and from track #1 with it`s monster combination of Velvet Crush meets sweetly styled Teenage Fanclub and "Help"-era Beatles you know it`s going to floor. Fans of those band and Greenberry Woods, Ben Folds Five, Jason Falkner, melody rich XTC (singer sounds like Andy P.) and The Grays will find a special release they will return to again and again. Always inventive with a simple pop hook or melody phrase, they make it look and sound easy but rest assured it`s not. Words must stop and we`ll simply attach the obvious to this Sure-To-Be-In-The-Top-10-Of-2001 release, Extremely Highly Recommended. <p> <a href="http://audio.notlame.com/sounds06/nines-better.mp3"><img src="http://www.notlame.com/images/ear.jpg" width="20" border=0 alt="power pop, independent music"></a> <a href="http://audio.notlame.com/sounds06/nines-better.mp3">Better - mp3 (Full Song)</a> - mp3 <p> <a href="http://audio.notlame.com/sounds06/cdnine302.mp3"><img src="http://www.notlame.com/images/ear.jpg" width="20" border=0 alt="power pop, independent music"></a> <a href="http://audio.notlame.com/sounds06/cdnine302.mp3">Doesn`t Matter What I Do</a> - mp3<p> <a href="http://audio.notlame.com/sounds06/cdnine303.mp3"><img src="http://www.notlame.com/images/ear.jpg" width="20" border=0 alt="power pop, independent music"></a> <a href="http://audio.notlame.com/sounds06/cdnine303.mp3">Melanie</a> - mp3<p> <a href="http://audio.notlame.com/sounds06/cdnine310.mp3"><img src="http://www.notlame.com/images/ear.jpg" width="20" border=0 alt="power pop, independent music"></a> <a href="http://audio.notlame.com/sounds06/cdnine310.mp3">Better</a> - mp3<p> <a href="http://audio.notlame.com/sounds06/cdnine311.mp3"><img src="http://www.notlame.com/images/ear.jpg" width="20" border=0 alt="power pop, independent music"></a> <a href="http://audio.notlame.com/sounds06/cdnine311.mp3">How Does It Feel?</a> - mp3<p> <a href="http://audio.notlame.com/sounds06/cdnine308.mp3"><img src="http://www.notlame.com/images/ear.jpg" width="20" border=0 alt="power pop, independent music"></a> <a href="http://audio.notlame.com/sounds06/cdnine308.mp3">It Hurts You</a> - mp3http://www.notlame.com/The_Nines/Page_1/CDNINE3.html
