It's not too bad, a decent effort with a couple of really good tunes, but definitely not up the the standard set by Adam Freeland, Krafty Kuts, the Scratch Perverts and the like. But seeing as I have been listening to it quite a bit I thought it only fair to put it in. :)Quote:

Been doing a lot of cycling this week so I've mostly been listening to pedal-pumping electro sets rather than albums as such;
Etienne de Crécy - Live at Les Ardentes Festival 2007 (I'm not sure if he had these visuals for that set, but you simply must check out the most impressive visuals I've ever seen - would dearly love to see that at mainstage EP!)
Adam Freeland - Essential Mix for Radio 1, 1st March 2008
Alex Metric - Alex Metric Mix 2008
Finally, I got the best album I've heard in absolutely ages last week (because it's so un-fahkin-real more than anything else :)). It's hard enough to describe because of it's originality, but generally it's a magical, quirky electro-pop record, with a breaks leaning in places. As an album it flows beautifully, seamlessly moving from track to track, with loads of crackers to get the head bopping and fingers clicking. Oh yeah better give the name: The Young Punx! - Your Music Is Killing Me. Foot.ie Rating: 11/10 - Get it!
That would be Kraftwerk's Tour de France on repeat so.Quote:

:D What a great opening track to gaily set me off on a magical mystery tour! I suppose Queen's Bicycle Race would have to be next. Cue "The Ultimate Cycling Playlist" thread?Quote:

Tindersticks - Tindersticks
Simon & Garfunkel - Sounds of Silence
Bonnie 'Prince' Billy - I see a darkness.
Man, I need to cheer up.
Eeels - Meet the Eels, Essential Eels Volume 1
I haven't heard of half the stuff listed above. Then again I wouldn't expect too many to know
Wolves In The Throne Room - two hunters
Mr. Bungle - self titled
Donald Fagan - morph the cat
Misfits - collection II
Mourning Beloveth - the sullen sulcus
Marduk - panzer division marduk
So where does all this tat that appears on the radio and tv stations come from? Who actually listens to that stuff? I can only think of my sister who actually listens to genuine mainstream popular music. :confused:
Got Roisin Murphys latest - quite good.
Editors - not so good.
Ham Sandwich - not bad.
The momentous week that's in it:
Digitalism - Idealism
Digitalism - Idealism
Digitalism - Idealism
Digitalism - Idealism
Digitalism - Idealism
Digitalism - Idealism
Digitalism - Idealism
Digitalism - Idealism

Yeah, I think I might be a little excited about seeing them on Thursday alright. :)
Jimi Hendrix - Axis: Bold As Love and Are You Experinced?
Saw some strange graffiti in a jacks the other day...
Jimi Hendrix is the nice on the guitar.
Lovely. Im listening to Portishead's first two albums in anticipation of Third. Still sounds excellent after all this time. Along with Prodigy's first album 'Experience' which I never really got into first time around.
wow, 2 albums mentioned that i havent listened to in 10 years and would be too scared to listen to repetitively again. Id be afraid id get addicted to them again...
Mr.Bungle (Mike Patton's (lead singer of FNM) twisted side project)
Pantera - A Vulgar Display of Power (glam rock band turned thrash metal)
cant stop playing all three KoL albums, Stone Roses, Muse (Black Holes), Radiohead (In Rainbows).
This month I'm listening to I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning, a two year old album by Bright Eyes.
the highlights being
Lua
At the Bottom of Everything
and
We Are Nowhere
Worth a look, especially if you're a fan of my man of the moment, Sufjan
The Crane Wife by the Decemberists is taking up much of my listening time this week, and very enjoyable it is too...
Also revisiting Takk by Sigur Ros which is definitely a grower...
Still listening rather obsessively to Hot Chip - Made In The Dark 'cos it's so good.
Had a handful of new albums ready to go, but can't get past the Utah Saints - Something Good '08 CD Single (which comes with 5 remixes so I'm counting it as a mini-LP), which I'm absolutely caning at the moment as it's just so good. Every one of the different versions a gem, but the High Contrast drum 'n' bass remix is an absolute joy!
And so, if I can get past that, the now pre-emptive list for this week continues:
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Dig, Lazarus, Dig!!!
Tom Middleton Presents Crazy Covers 2
The Trip 2 Navigated by Tom Middleton
and
Gary Numan / Tubeway Army - Premier Hits :o
(Actually, am amazed I've never had even a greatest hits of what were one of my favourite childhood bands. Not sure I'd be bothered to delve any deeper now, mind!)
Thanks be to god someone else likes that song. I heard the original for the first time, about 2 days before the new version was released. Love them both, but the new video makes me laff so much.Quote:

Ah yeah, loved that tune, and that album, since it came out in 1992 or thereabouts, just brilliant. New video is good too. :DQuote:

Yaay another stalwart returns!
Got a few new ones this week, so giving good long listens to:
Bloc Party - Intimacy (newest listen, but liking this a lot so far)
CSS - Donkey (Brilliant stuff, best album of the last few months certainly)
Kaiser Chiefs - Off With Their Heads (surprisingly not too bad for a 3rd-album-when-the-idea-is-well-beat situation)
M.I.A. - Kala
Róisin Murphy - Ruby Blue
Nas - ******
Deadmau5- Mixmag Cd
Damien Dempsey- Live at the Olympia (still love it):)
Mauro Picotto- Now and Then
Steve Lawler-Viva Toronto(Trippy Techno Mindf**kerry):D
Riton- The Warehouse Project Mixmag Cd
Jaytech- Everything is Ok
Timo Garcia- DJ Mag live at Purrfect Electro Leeds.
im really disliking the Kaiser Chiefs new one. A few decent songs but at least Mark Ronson producing it, didnt produce any horns or trumpets. Bloody Lily Allen appearing on it though has killed it for me.Quote:
