'Accessible' albums

Since everyone's been talking about how Draft 7.30 is more
accessible, I thought I'd bring up some other artists that
had recent 'accessible' albums released.

Venetian Snares - Winter in the belly of a snake: The is the
most "pop" oriented Snares release I've heard yet. Tons of
catchy (and some suprisingly simple) melodies, lots of
singing, and less harsher beats/sounds, makes this way more
appealing to a mass market audience.

Aphex Twin - 26 Mixes For Cash: Perhaps a backlash to the
critism from drukqs or maybe Richard just needs money to buy
his own army and take over the world with afx clones }:).
I'd say its his most excessible album yet. A variety of
stuff from his pre-drukqs era will appeal to all those who
didn't enjoy drukqs as much as some of us did.

Gridlock - Trace: It seems that Gridlock has abandoned some
of it's Goth roots by taking Trace in a great direction from
previous releases. This album clearly shows Gridlocks
potential, all while drawing in various audiences instead of
pushing some back. The beautiful ambience is done in seach a
great combination with gritty hart pounding beats that it
makes me want to dance and cry at the same time.

So yeah, tell me what you think and feel free to add some
other groups that have done similar things. I was going to
talk about Do you know squarepusher, but I haven't listened
to it enough to say anything about it. Oh and this is
clearly all in my opinion of course :)

i wouldnt say that 26 mixes for cash is a backlash to any
criticisms of drukqs.
i doubt he even gives a fuck about anyone dissing his
work....
its simply to finish his recording contract with warp.

''i doubt he even gives a fuck about anyone dissing his

Nah, I think it's quite the opposite!

And I still don't hear why everyone thinks Draft is sooooo
accessible. A little more than Confield, yeah, but what
isn't... such a tiny difference to my ears.

It is a really insignificant amount, just a pinch more than
confield, ya.
