Damn - do I ever feel better. There is nothing worse than having some shitty albums making the rest of them look bad.
Daft Punk, CHemical Brothers, Prodigy, Moby, Orb (Cydonia), Orbital (the Altogether), Photek (Solaris), Air (10,000hz Legend)......Goodbye!
Some of that music was utter crap. It was good at first....until I started listening to good music. I have been forcing myself to enjoy them for such a long time...now the burden is gone, and my remaining CDs are much happier with the extra space. Now I can use the extra $$$ for some Mouse on Mars.

I had some friends over, and one of them commented on how 1 of the songs sounded like a boy band. That's all it took for me. Goodbye poppy crap.

I think Discovery destroyed my faith in them, and Homework couldn't be left behind. I will miss Homework, but after Discovery, it just seemed tainted somehow.

lol....enjoy. I'll miss Orbital's the "Altogether" the most. I just couldn't see myself listening to it much in light of all of their much better work.

People ask me if my computer is okay when I play Autechre. .......er...um....I think your CD is skipping,,,,..er....scratched. Don't care. Autechre blows my mind. Their minds just aren't up to par yet.

I know what you mean - on the strength of the excellent "Weekender" single I bought the album "Life WIth Brian" by Flowered Up.. What absolute toss.
It was only 300 yen, but it is still a blight on my collection and it will be destroyed in due course.

I just couldn't get past the lyrics man. I don't care if its Robert "Mr. Chicago House" Owens himself - lyrics ALMOST ALWAYS destroy a fine piece of electronica - especially photek's. Underworld is one of the few bands that can pull that off.......definately not photek in this case.
The first two tracks were alright....downhill from there.

don't ever sell your cd's/vinyls; no matter what - even if it's shitty music. I have lot's of crap, but I don't sell it; I just store it where it cannot be found :)

so you never just 'try' something... only buy when you're sure it's great? There goes the fun!

If I'm unsure as to whether something sounds good or not, I ask if I can listen to the cd/vinyl, if I dislike I don't buy it, if I do, I do :P

It had more to do with my friends verablizing what I had been thinking all along. I just tried to live with it....convince myself that they were alright. Everytime I would play them, I would cringe. No point in keeping them if I would never listen to them again. Make $$$, buy good music this time.

hey there people, i am surprised that anyone would sell their life story!
i have a real mix of stuff that i don;t listen to anymore, but i know that once upon a time i was into them, and other cd's i have been given or bought, but i keep them, because,
more often than not i have bought a cd, hated it, and come across it again and really liked it...
don't sell your cd's unless you are in desperate need for cash to help out your or another's starving family..
there is a real story behind someone's cd collection. don;t be pompous about your collection...love it...
most people if not everyone has shite cd...shit, i bought christina agurilaria's latest cd 'your beuatiful' coz i loved the tune!!! (yes, i am putting my soul on the line here)...

OMG...Christina. Some albums I would rather give away - when I have people come over they're like "Hey! It's Moby's PLAY!!! Let's put it on!!!" I would rather be without it if I'm going to have to entertain guests with such overplayed crap. "Look!! Armand Van Helden!!!"
I suppose I could have just hid them. Now my friends are forced to listen to more mind expanding material. Except now it's "Who is this? It sounds all skittery and they can't keep any rhythm. Put on some Paul Oakenfold damnit."

Tibbar.....I know what you mean about Daft Punk. As much as I enjoyed Homework, and a few songs on Discovery were killer, it just wasn't happenin anymore. In North America they used "digital love" for a GAP commercial!!! A GAP COMMERCIAL!!!! Talk about sell-out. The two of em' even got up and danced with their robot helmets with some chick. Peeeww..
Much respect for them though. Talented bastards they are. Cool helmets too.
