Dave Matthews Band
`Big Whiskey & the GrooGrux King'
(Warner Korea)

With their first album since 2005, Dave Matthews Band is once again at the top of its game. The album is dedicated to the band's late saxophonist LeRoi Moore, whose nickname inspired the whimsical title.

Dave Matthews Band always seems to have a crazy, wild energy and funky sounds, and this album is no different. They take it to the next level with tunes like ``Shake Me Like a Monkey" and ``Funny the Way It Is." ``If this is the last album that I make, it's the only album I hope people will listen to," said frontman Dave Matthews. And he's right, ``GrooGrux" is a gem.

Ennio Morricone
`Special Best'
(Sony BMG)

There are plenty of Ennio Morricone best albums, but this 3-CD special compilation presents a thoroughly comprehensive and thematic selection of the prolific composer's works, paralleling the program of his second concert tour in Korea in May

The first CD, ``The Love of Ennio Morricone,'' brings together mellow, romantic tunes such as ``Romanzo'' from ``The Legend of 1900.''

The rhythm picks up a notch in ``The Passion of Ennio Morricone'' with upbeat tracks from the Italian master's spaghetti and macaroni Westerns.

``The Paradiso of Ennio Morricone'' showcases his signature classics such as ``Gabriel's Oboe'' from ``Mission.'' Fans, particularly those who attended the maestro's concert, will be able to relive the cinematic evening.

Super Kidd
Music Show
Sound Holic Entertainment

Rock group Super Kidd has returned with a new special album ``Music Show.'' The bubbly and happy group offers their trademark sounds, Rock and Roll with a twist, but with sophistication. The opening track ``Dance Dance'' may have listeners jump up and dance with its funky tunes and fun lyrics, while the title track ``Music Show'' is a more sophisticated number arranged by one of Korea's most famous artists Hwang Sung-jae.
``Life'' is more modern with dreamy lyrics and sounds, while ``Rockstar,'' which is also in the first album, has been rearranged from a rock number to an electronic remix. If the group's previous albums were bright and funny, this one will satisfy those who wanted a little bit more from the group, both in sounds and appearances.
