    The Dissensus Album Canon

    On the back of Barty's mostly singles canon can we have an albums one. Some comments on the album would be good too. People post albums. Users do the “ta” button on the ones they like and the ones with lots of ta’s become canon.

    UK Soul : Soundsystem Classics

    During the late 80's and early 90's, there quite a few UK soul records that were aimed at sound systems or at least played heavily by some sounds. I think this sort of stuff developed in parallel with jungle, often using the same breaks. Perhaps the most notable examples are from Soul II Soul...

    This Mortal Coil/4AD recs

    Can you suggest some CD's on 4AD (or any other labels but I thought 4AD a good starter) along the lines of This Mortal Coil. I've been listening to the This Will End In Tears album a lot recently and it's the only thing I have of this style atm. Perfect autumnal listening for me.

    Gamelon

    I couldn't find a gamelon thread. I've been listened to bits on Youtube and really like the combination of percussion and drone. This is probably the best example of the sort of thing i'm looking for. Could anyone suggest any CD listening/links for more of this. Also I can imagine this sort...

    Bleeps and Bass

    Getting all Northern on this thread. Why did the particular sound come out of Yorkshire ? Massive bass on many of these tracks was this due to sound system culture.

    Studio Ghibli

    I saw Spirited Away on the tele the other day and really enjoyed it. The only other one Ive seen is The Cat Returns but that was a lightweight in comparisism and didnt really hold my attention. Are there any other films from Studio Ghilbi that would be worth seeking out ?
