One of our favorite chill artists, Zero 7, has released their third album, The Garden ($13). Like their previous efforts, The Garden is full of soft, ambient electronic beats and backdrops — but this album expands on their already-established sound, pushing it into a more uptempo arena, and does a good job of it. Vocalist Sia Furler returns for a... [More]
As cool as this thing looks, and although JBL would like you to believe otherwise, we're pretty sure the JBL On Time ($225) doesn't do time travel. What we are pretty sure of is that it kicks ass. It features halo acoustics that provide 360ยบ of great sound, a large, backlit LCD, an iPod Universal Dock, an alarm clock, AM/FM... [More]
