Computer definitely my primary place of listening, whilst working and bumming about the internet (40+ hours a week combined, at least. If I wasn't stuck on a shite unix machine at school it would probably be way more). I download a ton. Basically everything I listen to is mediated by the...

Having watched those Eastwood western's quite a few times, I gotta go with "For a Few Dollars More," definitely a forgotten gem in comparison to "the good, the bad and the ugly." potentially even better a morricone soundtrack than "the good..." too! also, what about "The Magnificent Seven"...

Love love love stuart price. Hung Up is a great tune. also search out his remix of gwen stefani's "what you waiting for" probably my all time favourite remix by him. But really, pretty much any of his remixes listed here or here are worth checking out. The man's classic to dud ratio is...

Sorry, no implied slight on the guy who did it, it sounds really good! I was just impressed at how naturally it transitioned from being a new wave track to being a ravey techno track.

Yeah no kidding, the difference between a song and a track. I think the original works much better as a song, but if I were wanting to throw this track down in the middle of a techno set, that edit would be the perfect fit...interesting though how easy it was to take the song from one genre to...

oh boy Nice one woebot. There's actually a ton of research going on in this area right now in academia, google "tabletop display" (which is what that is) in google scholar if you want a taste. that is a very nice demo though. Anyway, I happen to be taking a couple courses about this kinda stuff...

trance! yeah I'll own up to liking some trance, and not just the more smooth/spacey '95 era stuff, but some serious big-room epic trance. armin van buuren's "communication" is a great track! i love a good extended epic synth buildup. of course i think this is greatly aided by the fact that i...

hahaha, i take it as a point of pride that i got that wrong. might just make it even worse anyways....

Oh man, Jack Johnson. I despise Jack Johnson. Holy fuck, give me a million half-assed post-punk wannabes flooding the airwaves to never here him again. Jesus, "a special collection of new songs and lullabyes by Jack Johnson" in the adds for the curious george movie. I can't believe how succesful...

Loving this mix, thanks! Agree with Driod, it's definitely popier than I had expectected, really quite catchy throughout. And holy crap that last song! Sounds like ravey second-wave detroit techno, except it's about 10 years too early and a few bpms too slow. wicked. Actually, the synths kick...

I know! Sherburne linked to it off his blog a week or two ago and holy crap have I been listening to a lot of sweet house/techno ever since then. Kind of intimidating all the good music he posts...I want to listen to everything but must contain myself...

Nice?? The new Villalobos is the best thing he's ever done and one of the most intensely interesting things I've heard in a good long time. It doesn't really make sense in in terms of its obvious referents and I still haven't figured it out properly (in other words, it's brilliant).

conveneintly enough, just grabbed this from here, and yes, it is top notch. love those lazery synths in the background. carl craig is definitely on the good again, really liked his fabric mix as well.

Though obviously I'm just following the leaders on this one (blissblog, woebot, k-punk->the holy music-blogging trinity ;-) ), but my understanding is that it's not just about sounding haunting, which is really too easy a classification. I mean you could almost throw enya in there at that rate...

Definitely agree on adding Rhythm & Sound to the list...not so much for the full on vocal stuff, but definitely their mostly non-vocal self-titled album. It's like a second order dub record. Extra decayed.

Chiming in a bit late in the debate but oh well... I think this whole "mutually ensured destruction" story maybe gets a little more credit than it deserves. For starters, on the american side, if you buy Chomsky's story that the invasion of Iraq was at least partially done as a proof-of-concept...

I have this weird thing where, despite being a very big fan of microhouse and whatnot, whenever there's a real critical consensus on some microhouse album, I find myself in disagreement. Last time this happened was Alcachofa (which is like, heresy or something now that it's become it's own damn...

in not really any order, except for the first two, which are clear favs. vitalic - ok cowboy alan braxe & friends - the upper cuts target - aim high vol 2 ruff sqwad - guns & roses (unfairly put down! sure the hip hop is lame, but the ruff sqwad originals are mindbendingly brilliant! Have you...

Well, in light of all these complaints about mixes not getting the attention they deserve, I thought i should say: THIS MIX DESERVES ATTENTION. cuz it's damn good. best jungle mix ever? today, sure why not.

for grungy techno, you definitely have to check out motiivi:tuntematon - 1939, which sherburne's been going on about for awhile. pure sludge techno. also on a slightly older, slightly different tip, wolgang voigt did a lot of great dirty, grungy techno under his freiland moniker/label back in...
