What CD am I talking about?

December 22, 2006 12:15 PM

I saw an CD yesterday in a music store, but now I can't remember the artist's or the album's name. It's electronica (I didn't listen to it long enough to be able to name the sub-genre). The album cover was bright yellow, with a photo of a guy (the artist... I assume) in the middle. He had thick black make-up under his eyes. Oh - and I think it came out in 2005. Please help!

Is this it? If so...that would be strange cause I just noticed this album cover from a post down below from someone asking about a song in a episode of CSI. Here is that post.

Response by poster: Nah - it's not DJ Shadow. I think the person'r DJ title is just his name (no DJ)

Tiga - Sexor ? Not exactly yellow, though.

Maybe this? I initially thought James Figurine's mistake mistake (his album cover is yellow but no person; a pic here fits your description but only if they updated the cover)

Response by poster: No - neither of those :( I think that his last name might start with a 'V' (maybe). I saw the CD at HMV, if that helps.

Ok, last try. Maybe Sven Vath?

it's Sven's ibiza compilation from last year. He's also just released a new one of what he was playing this year. The genre is techno.
