I've got the one by Nona Reeves, a band you don't mention in TCS too often. Very enjoyable indeed!

Oh, you have that one! I only heard of it when writing this one up. I'll try to pay more attention to Nona Reeves, though it often passes below my radar... :)

Nona Reeves makes some soul-oriented dance pop which I find very enjoyable, an they have good am,bil too. I knew them from a remix album titled Cherish! Nona Reeves The Remixes from 2001, basically 'cause there were remixes by Cubismo Grafico, Sunaga 't Experience and of course, Konishi-san. I loved it. I'd reccomend starting with the album 3x3
