The Noncollective team is a secret society of young templars and music alchemists with a taste for the obscure, whether European records, Japanese commercials, Belgian waffles, Algerian pop stars, Twin Peaks, Italian porn stars or teutonic beats and even topless girls in denim shorts. They like spending their days lazing under the Mediterranean sun while listening to Brazilian guapas singing about love. When night falls they like to fill the dancefloor with the sounds of Italian disco divas on acid and watch the dance floor beauties go crazy. In real life the Noncollective is a group of friends scattered mostly around Europe who get together all sharing the same passion for music. It is a superb example of what a handful of people can achieve armed merely with their love for everything out of the ordinary.

Qompendium agrees with Gilles Peterson, Pharrell Williams and James Murphy of LCD Soundsystem: Quadron is soulful, experimental, contemporary and a must-have compact disc on your rack.

Quadron was formed when Robin met Coco, a 16-year-old ingénue influenced by such artists as Jill Scott, Erykah Badu, and especially Lauryn Hill. As the duo started working together, they took their time, slowly forming the lush, groovy sound that encompasses Quadron.

We all know this but just for the record:

Thriller is the sixth studio album by American recording artist Michael Jackson. It was released on November 30, 1982 by Epic Records as the follow-up to Jackson's critically and commercially successful 1979 album Off the Wall. Recording sessions took place between April and November 1982 at Westlake Recording Studios in Los Angeles, California, with a production budget of $750,000. Assisted by producer Quincy Jones, Jackson wrote four of Thriller's nine tracks. In just over a year, Thriller became—and currently remains—the best-selling album of all time, with sales estimated by various sources as somewhere between 75 and 110 million copies worldwide, and as the best-selling album in the United States. Seven of the album's nine songs were released as singles, and all reached the top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100. The album won a record-breaking eight Grammy Awards at the 1984 Grammys.

With his seventh studio album, Bad, Michael Jackson was able to exercise even more artistic freedom than he did with his two previous Epic releases (Off the Wall and Thriller). On Bad,  Jackson composed nine of the album's eleven tracks and received co-producer credit for the entire album. Bad sold over 30 million opies worldwide and has been cited as beiing one og the best selling albums of all times next to Thriller.
