for christmas this year i got a lot of gift certificates and i want you (xltronic members) to help me decide what to buy. first, i for borders/amazon.com and already placed an order for these:
Freescha - Slower than Church Music Richard Devine - Asect:Dsect
Those have already been ordered so i probably can't change them or anything. I also got enough gift certificates for Barnes and Noble that i figure I can get about 8 cds. these are 8 that i have selected:
yee-king - super user : i have heard this is a good album. opinions?
funkstörung - appetite for disctruction : i have not heard anything by this artist/group, what are your thoughts (this is the only full-length available at bn.com)
jega - spectrum : i have geometry and it is excellent. from the samples this seems to be in a very different style however. how does this compare to geometry?
jetone - ultramarin : i have only heard "ginotopia" by this artist from the tigerbeat6 inc compilation, and i think it is an very good track. i haven't seen this artist mentioned here. has anyone heard it?
push button objects - dirty dozen : my favorite tracks from "ghetto blaster" are hustlin, 3 doctors, fly, and 360 degrees, and breakers delight. do you think this is a good choice?
dat politics - plugs plus : i don't know much about this group but the samples and the track on tigerbeat6 inc compilation seem strangely intriguing to me.. tell me about this group.
venetian snares - chocolate wheelchair : well im going to have to get this eventually.
prefuse 73 - vocal studies + uprock naratives : not sure if i want this one or the new album. i like the track nunu on warp:routine compilation and i would prefer to go in chronological order. what do you think is better?
what do you think about these choices? please tell me if you think anything should be added/subtracted/changed on the list so i can make a well-informed selection. THANK YOU! :D

if you picked 8 cds and you can only get 8, then it's already decided, innit?

Freescha - Slower than Church Music - Get the new one... I am not sure if it is out yet, and I forgot the name, but it is excellent
Richard Devine - Asect:Dsect - Excellent choice
funkstörung - appetite for disctruction : -well done, but uninspired and uninteresting
jega - spectrum : - Geometry was amazing... spectrum just kind of sounded like second rate mu-ziq stuff.
push button objects - dirty dozen : excelent... much better than ghetto blaster, but a bit more idm and less hip hop. Think earlier autechre
venetian snares - chocolate wheelchair : best venetian snares album ever
prefuse 73 - vocal studies + uprock naratives : get both this and the new one... but get this one first.

well these are just some that i was thinking about getting. the only ones i have already ordered are the first 2 from borders/amazon. i would like to know if the others are good selections, and what is bad and maybe something that could replace it. sorry if there was any confusion..

i already have all autechre albums and i'm just missing a few hard to find eps. autechre is probably my favorite artist/group right now (except for bola maybe)

Get the new Freescha, What's Come Inside You. Album of the year. Can't really go wrong either way, though.

Freescha - Slower than Church Music Richard Devine - Asect:Dsect both excellent!
yee-king - super user i remember liking it a lot, but haven't listen to it in a long lomg time...
funkstörung - appetite for disctruction jega - spectrum not my thing...
jetone - ultramarin this is tim hecker who's one of my favourite artists!!! it's different to stuff he's releasing under his real name, more beats, nice stuff
push button objects - dirty dozen dat politics - plugs plus don't know these two...
venetian snares - chocolate wheelchair one of best releases this year...
prefuse 73 - vocal studies + uprock naratives don't like it at all, probably one of worst albums i ever bought...

personally i'd avoid prefuse 73
choc wheelchair is a very good cd
dirty dozen is good but not awesome
i bought jega's spectrum first and it is great for its time - make sure you get the matador version as that has "unity gain" on it which the uk version doesnt have and its absolutly blinding
funkstorung is overated personally i'd get one of funckarmas side projects quench - i have "punctuated" as its great as a autechre variant but stands up on its own merit
yee king is a good acid style album
and freesha's "slower than church music " is a really good ambient album with more than a hint of menace
the others havent interested me as of yet
