What has everyone been buying recently? Or downloading? For me it's: Cut Chemist - The Audience is Listening Really nice. I don't really know why I bought this. I've heard the name Cut Chemist plenty of times, but I kinda disliked the so called turntablist side of hiphop after listening to Kid Koala's albums. But this one is more musical. Still has the weird samples, scratching work and such, rapping, but also has songs which sound like something DJ Shadow might do. So overall I think it's nice. You get a bit of everything instead of too much unlistenable crap like Kid Koala's are to me. :P MSTRKRFT - The Look This album is kind of like Daft Punk, meaning it's basically like a retro/dance type of thing, if that makes any sense. But it's kind of annoying. I really like the main single, Work On You, which also has a great video for it, but the rest of it seems too similar. It gets old pretty quick in my opinion. Most people might not know of these guys, they're a Canadian group, but worth a download anyway if you like Daft Punk. Blackalicious - Blazing Arrow I like this album a lot. I'm not a huge rap fan, and I find most rap makes me feel stupid when I listen to it, but at least this album has lyrics which seem to actually have a message. The songs have nice beats and the rapping I actually find enjoyable, so thumbs up! :) |

lately? i have downloaded a bunch of Pink Floyd that i didn't have on my iPod: meddle, ummagumma, wish you were here, piper at the gates of dawn. I guess it was triggered by Barret's recent demise. i downloaded "Mr Nogatco" which i have found to be predictably disappointing. It has like 2 'moments' on the whole frikkin album. just got the new TV on the Radio "return to cookie mountain" after hearing rave reviews. listened to it. didn't do anything for me. got Depeche Mode's "best of" as i never really got into them and decided to get a smattering of what is considered their creame. it was well creamy. got the new Phoenix after reading a review on Pitchfork that mentioned their likeness to Hall and Oats. also i really liked that song of theirs on the Lost in Translation soundtrack. Haven't listened to this one yet. finally, i downloaded the Gnarls Barkley album, after getting the two radio hits painfully embedded in my brain mush. thought i'd give the rest of it a listen. so far, EXTREMELY but predictably LAME. not a big fan of dangermouse anyway. that's about it. |

Ill talk about UZIQ - TANGO N VECTIF.. because I just listened to it again... Great album, I really enjoy the old sounds.... I find that when I listen to all the classic oldies from artists like uziq and afx, squapusher.. etc etc that it really reminds me of those days, and it takes me back a bit, also it makes me really enjoy this sound as opposed to a lot of the newer style. I guess ive always like the old styles of many of the more popular artists in these genres. I dont know what it is. In this release (which is his first pretty much) the sound is awesome on vinyl and it really livens things up a bunch. The melodies and soundscapes found here are unique, especially back in 1993.... and still to this day, this is a great album. |

what are we buying in the last week or so? isan - plans drawn in pencil...do you like isan? if yes, you'll like it. if not, maybe not. animal collective - here comes the indian...serenity now, insanity later...or maybe the other way around. animal collective - sung tongs...it grips you, then releases, then grips again...animal collective only wants what's good for you. rocky votolato - can't recall the title, but if you check the tune "passing white daisies" i'm sure you'll be glad you did. "there's a secret magic password, that you only notice when you're looking back at it, all i want to do is turn around..." the dylans - planet love cd single... neopsychedelic pop music from the early nineties, it cures cancer. swervedriver - ejector seat reservation...still percolating in my mind, noisy pop rock from the mid nineties, rereleased in europe by the benevolent sony corporation... now let's talk about you... |

After far too long I got Basic Channel - Basic Channel and I found on eBay Fawn's Klip EP. These are my latest purchases. I want to buy all the current and forthcoming R&S and A.R.T re-issues but realise I will have to get more work to finance these initiatives. |

Next ill discuss Biosphere - Polar Sequences CD with HIA This album is quite awesome, it was recorded live on top of a mountain, the two artists (HIA and Biosphere) were commisioned to make this album using sounds sampled/sourced from the surrounding area, so they used melting water, ice, wind, people talking, the sound of the cable car.... all mixed into and featuring other organic sounds, very nice - a few songs have somewhat of a beat. these tracks shift on their own and have a defenite cold feel to them, which is what biosphere is really known for I think. I love it. |

I upgraded my computer recently, so I have not been able to buy any records due to lack of moneys. Downloaded lots of stuff though. Lately I have been listening mostly to This Heat, Helen Love, Comets On Fire, White Light Circus, Peeping Tom and Os Mutantes. |

bought: • Bola - Soup • Outkast - Speakerboxxx/The Love Below • Outkast - Aquemini • The White Stripes - Elephant i haven't listened to the Bola one in its entirety so far, but it sounds just as good if not even better as Fyuti. still as spacey/trippy. : ) i like the Outkast records very much as well, am very probably getting all their albums now... just missing the first one. ordered, not received yet: • A Guy Called Gerald - Essence • Terje Isungset - Igloo • The Future Sound Of London - Igloo is an album entirely made of sounds of instruments carved out of ice. (and there are samples at aquariusrecords.org too). in my basket: • Air - Virgin Suicides OST • The Stooges - Fun House • Oöphoi & Louisa John-Krol - I Hear The Water Dreaming + maybe some Quannum album i haven't got yet... |

Orbital - Brown Album 2xlp This takes me back, these guys know how to do it. Classic stuff... Cant say much about this that hasnt been said before, I love revisiting the classics and this is a prime example. I didnt really like Orbitals newer stuff.... Brown album, Green, In Sides and Middle of Nowhere are the ones I like... I can listen to them over and over. Great stuff. |

Loveless has a few splendid tracks ('Only Shallow' and 'Soon'), but overall i don't find it an absolute masterpiece like everyone else does... now you should probably get it anyway; like i said, almost everyone thinks it's a masterpiece and loves it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

I think Loveless is an excellent album. Get it! |

MBV's "Loveless" is overated and is quickly boring imo, even if I still think it's OK. But don't get OK computer, it is no very good and pavement is not that good neither imo. Brr i don't think the albums listed in this thread are very good ; lots are OK and enjoyable but I can't find a very good one here, sadly. I purchased recently : Handsome boy modelling school - so how's your girl ? [a prince paul and dan the automator eclectic compilation, awesome!] J-Live - the best part [great hip-hop !] VA - geology vol. 2, a story of planet e [it is a mix of some old planet e tracks, for example carl craig, recloose, common factor -> very nice !] |

my favorite is oval's 'dok' but 'szenariodisk' and 'systemisch' are really good. i was a little disappointed with 'wohnton' at first, but it's a grower, and i think a nice progression for oval. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
actually, scratch that. i'm listening to whonton again after a long time and really, that guy's voice is getting on my nerves. i think Oval ought to have stayed away from singing. at least from this guy singing. |

I got the pcp ep by the mover ('we have arrived') have been alternating it with kid606 and 'devil's chimney' by exile as a set-finisher. It's fookin brilliant I tells ya. Bought 'Pink' by Boris the other day only listened to it twice but it's a crazy crazy record. Boris are a Japanese hardcore band and they seem to be utterly utterly brilliant. |
