I'm dreadfully lacking in stuff from ninja tune.. People used to say that their output was consistantly brilliant, but it seems to have taken a dive in recent times (as far as i can tell).. So I don't want to waste my time getting the not-so-great-stuff. Any suggestions then? |

bonobo, wagon christ, jaga jazzist, kid koala, blockhead, coldcut, mr scruff, the herbaliser, amon tobin, roots manuva and skalpel. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
kid koala, hexstatic = great wagon christ, coldcut, dj food, mr scruff = ok, they have their moments cinematic orchestra = avoid |
||||||||
|

I'm looking for great albums in particular.. Jaga jazzist i'm a very big fan of, and wagon christ is definitely vibert's best material.. gotta get some mr scruff...... only have 2 songs and they're.. astounding. |

xen cuts is one of the best ninja tune compilations. its how i started listening to ninja tune. the newer ones are quite good too. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yup, heard that in tower records, have tried to get torrents of it but haven't been able. probably on slsk.. although i don't seem to be able to download from slsk at home. might be winxp fire(shit)wall acting up. gotta get it though |

might be router/proxy settings getting in the way of slsk, as long as slsk remains in the 'exceptions' my windows firewall allows slsk to communicate properly. my proxy is another matter :( |

kid koala is great, but that 'live from the audio theatre tour' thingie was crap. only 5 songs, 3 were previously availible on older albums, and all of them sound crap when 'played live'. and while the cartoons on the dvd were good, the djing really destroyed the mystery for me. |

kid koala, mr cruff, hextatic and jaga jazzist. saul williams. lots of goodies from ninjatune. |

Homelife, the most fun I've had with Ninja Tune since I first got into Amon Tobin. Can't express in text how much I love Guru Man Hubcap Lady. |
||||||||

|
|
great name as well :D thanks for all these reccomendations guys :) |

Cinematic Orchestra is truly beautiful. Amon Tobin is alright, although his earlier stuff is best. He recently started making crap, starting with out from out there (or whatever its called) and proceeded to continue making crap. Bonobo is spectacular. Blockhead is spectacular. Wagon Christ is spectacular. And if you are looking for that ninja tune sound, Harmonic 33 is amazing, although they are on warp, not ninja tune. |

why nobody else mentions Clifford Gilberto? i suppose several possible answers: 1) i am dramatically wrong cause he is not Ninja Tune product 2) it is so old that nobody cares 3) nobody liked it |
||||||||
|
|

|

Clifford Gilberto Rhythm Combination - I was young and needed the money are great! 1) Yes, released on 2)Perhaps 3) i like it Other good Ninja Stuff: Coldcut Mr Scruff Wagon Christ Kid Koala Amon Tobin Dj Food Up, Bustle and Out Funky Porcini +++ |

If you go to , you'll find both the latest shows have a Ninja Tune track on. The first show has a brand new Herbaliser one, which is actually a really good track. The second show has an amazing track by a fairly unheard-of new Ninja Tune act called Ammon Contact. That one's thoroughly recommended. And, of course, this is all free to download. |

it's pretty much all crap except for the last irresistable force album which was O.K. Mixmaster Morris told me that Matt Black swapped the running order around in a really innapropiate way for that album, I would have told him where to go (I heard the pre-release version and it was much better), MB did once compliment me on one of my sets though so he can't be that bad. |

fuck lads, soundguy just contradicted everything you've said have you been trying to push some anti-spastic music on me, you fascist bastards? it's an idm conspiracy, this... |

hmmm well I've promised myself I'm never returning to THAT thread ever again nor bringing up THAT subject ever again. but just in case your interested I also reckon that come to daddy could be about a kiddie fiddler and girl/boy a shemale, some minds are just naturally warped ;) |
||||||||

|
|
Wow... I didn't realise ninja tune were respnsible for all those artists. I'd have to say I'm a fan of pretty much all of them! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I wasn't too impressed with Run Come Save Me though to be honest. I wouldn't say avoid any of it though. It's all worth a listen! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yup, i have two roots manuva albums (run come save me & brand new second hand) and can't say i was impressed with either of them.. wagon christ though.. me-ow <3 can't wait to get some mr scruff albums too. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i like a couple of dj food tracks - the crow & the sky at night (samples jean-luc picard) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah I saw Mr. Scruff live at D-Percussion in Manchester, this live outdoor festival thing with quite a few unsigned artists. It was quality! Wouldn't mind seeing him again properly |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
damn you! :/ he played here only a couple of months ago but i found out too late and wasn't able to go. it was in the middle of a big clump of really great concerts so i wasn't too pissed at the time. he's just so funkeh |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
with roots manuva it's all about the way he uses language, and describes different point of views. plus he's just got an amazing voice. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Gutted! I've had the album for ages, but only quite recently listened to it on headphones. Ooh the bass on Ug is good! |

You're right, he has got an amazing voice, I just found the album a bit boring musically |

i only know amon tobin and mister scruff, i must get more on Ninja. its just one of those things you know you are missing out on, but havent gor round to looking at yet. |
||||||||
|

| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, agreed, Homelife rules. Can't get enough of ''Harder'', even 7 months later. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Glad to see you agreeing with your 7 month younger self. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Well, if it had been four years ago, when they were still releasing some good stuff I would agree with you there. But they haven't been consistently exciting since 2000. |

A good 3CD selection is Xen Cuts. That has some excellent tracks. I would suggest also getting the more recent compilation cat no ZEN85 a retrospective which is pretty good and has a wide range. individual albums I can recall and like: ZEN55 solid steel DK and DJ food, (very good mix excellent.) DJfood - kalaidoscope (lovely album ) Coldcut - Let Us Replay (i like it) Chris Bowden - Slightly Askew (jazzy like improvised jazz) early N-tone stuff is fantastic too... (this is more like braindance imo) journeyman - 50cc Transcend - 2001 Real Life (3) - Journey Of The Carcharadon get the two compilations i mentioned and that has pretty much every ninja artist and you can get a good idea of what you like. don't know if the n tone stuff is rare, but its great. almost all of the recent ninja stuff has been refried poo and is not original. amon tobin probably is but I haven't heard much, he is nearly always good though. Infact I would suggest: Solid Steel Presents Amon Tobin Recorded Live CD I have the promo which differs slightly but its a fantastic mix. |

I have one place in my head where I store Ninja Tune, Matador, and Thrill Jockey, so I always get confused. Anyway, I think Cinematic Orchestra is great. Man With a Movie Camera is pretty good. Haven't heard every day though. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
How well does their stuff sell? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I actually haven't heard man with a movie camera, but I have heard that its their weakest album. My favorite is still there first one, with there remix album following a close second and everyday following a very close third. |
