Strangely I found the EP with this track on in a record clear out on thursday. Picked it up for the bargin price of 20yen, about a 1/5th the price of a bar of chocolate. There's another version of the track titled "The Erotic Garden - After Hours Version" which I've stuck up here.

Just thought I'd point people in the direction of this week's Worldwide show as Bugz in the Attic are in the studio. Haven't heard the show yet myself - will edit this with opinions when I have though. Tracklisting looks nice... hear it over at the BBC 's page.

I liked Whiskeytown and I like solo Ryan Adams. There's something pretty special about people who just churn out music and I'd put Ryan Adams in that bracket along with Madlib, Matthew Herbert, the Neptunes and Beck. Not all of his stuff is to my taste, but I have respect for people with that...

this is kind of the thing i try not to read, so as not to squeeze every last drop of fun out of listening to music. once you've read it, its hard not to notice and you can't go back. on the other hand i do have the stereo system in this picture. i hope that doesn't make me a horribly...

Up until about 12 months ago I used to live my life to syncopated rhythms, particularly Broken Beat. Actually I was probably one of those snobbish students turning my nose up at proper four to the floor dance. In the end I was roped into techno via two events. The first was hearing Nathan Fake's...

Been waiting for this new Bugz album for time. Is it ever gonna drop? Gilles P played a new track the other evening, which was actually a little disappointing. Much as I love the new live percussion and polished sound, there's nothing like a crunchy Seiji beat, and I kind of miss that. Not...

Had it on order from Amazon, which went from a 22nd May release date, to a "ships within 4 to 6 weeks". Cancelled the order and headed over to Juno who have it in stock, try there. http://www.juno.co.uk/labels/Get+Physical+Germany/

Got round to seeing Da Vinche Code today. Not sure it really belongs in this thread, as there is no way I would unreservedly recommend it. It wasn't a bad film, just very boring. The boredomfactor was exagerrated watching it in a non-Christian country. No-one I went with had the faintest idea...

I actually think this singles vs LPs thing becomes more prominent are you move into the realms of mp3, rather than physical discs. While it might be a pain to constanly be putting on 12"s, its not hard to throw together a load of singles on a playlist. I guess in this digital age you could...

Sounds like a very interesting night. Unfortunately I won't be around to see it, but would be interested in hearing how it goes. Let us know if there's gonna be another one as well.

Listening to Massive Attack's Mezzanine at the age of 12 was pretty eye-opening. I bought it on the back of Teardrop, but it ended up introducing me to all things dark and electronic, while most of my mates were into guitar stuff. I guess its had a pretty big influence on my musical tastes ever...

Cheers for all the links and suggestions, taking a look through them now. Depending what album you're listening to Rachel's can be a little on the boring side, but at their best they're very good. Personally I prefer The Sea and The Bells over some of their better known stuff. Threnody...

Is this a genre? I'm thinking of a pretty limited collection of bands like Threnody Ensemble, Rachels and Fifths of Seven, involving small groups of musicians playing some structrually quite complex music. Its a defintion which would fit in with traditional forms chamber music if it weren't for...

Cheers for the file. I boosted the levels and posted it over at my blog... http://toomanyscenes.blogspot.com/ There's also a version floating around on barefiles.com which might be worth a look although I haven't heard the quality yet. As for the quality of the music, I'm quite impressed...

Excited about seeing this one, as Ghostworld is one of my favourite films. Didn't realise it was out already, but I'm stuck in a land of very very late films so I guess I'll have to wait to see it. The reviews around the net seem a little on the negative side, but perhaps that's due to...

2046 by Kar Wai Wong. Realise I'm late to the party on this one, but isn't it beautiful? I'm not sure I can think of many films that match it for the sexiness of every shot. Loved it. Had to watch it dubbed in Japanese, with Japanese subtitles, and given that my Japanese isn't that great I...

Well, I'm under 28, so.... Postal Service - Give Up and Arab Strap - The Red Thread I would especially point you in the direction of the Postal Service if you're looking for key albums, rather than just recommendations. I think they've inspired a bit of the stripped down lo-fi electronicy...

Do people think that perhaps websites like The Hype Machine have a negative impact on blogging? While Hype Machine is very useful for finding music I already know I want to download (no soulseek from university!), it doesn't exactly promote good or interesting writing. Recently it seems like...

Has anyone caught Manderlay, the second part of the Dogville trilogy, yet? I saw it the other day, and was very impressed. As much as I found Dogville interesting, it was a bit of a slog to get through. Manderlay, on the other hand is much more succinct and fares better for that I think. The...

I'm not sure about the States, but i honestly believe that Broken Beat is more likely to blow-up worldwide than Grime. Despite having a very small London base Broken seems to be made throughout the world. Add to that the fact that it doesn't require knowledge of local colloquialisms or accents...
