[amble]

i'm sure i'll forget something but here we go. can't put them in any order:

super_collider "raw digits"
no further words necessary. would win the award for best mastered record too if there was any.

cristian vogel "dungeon master"
pure energy. always reminds me of bees kept in a beehive made of tinfoil.

tobias schmidt "the haunted house ep"
probably my favourite of all his records until now. so oldschool so new. Nest ROCKS!

boards of canada "geogaddi / twoism"
finally some new boc tracks and good to have the older ones on vinyl.

boom bip "seed to sun"
as big as the other stuff on Lex. mindblowing artwork too. wonder what that costs?

anti pop consortium "arrhythmia"
who said hip hop is dead? it has never been better!

autechre "ganz graf"
they havn't been rocking like this for quite a time have they?

el-p "fantastic damage"
same as apc. brilliant album. Def Jux is cool.

low res "blue ramen"
mr. zelonky finally returns. mindbending!

scion "arrange and process basic channel"
the first mix-cd i ever bought. superbly done and good to have everthing on cd again.

the remote viewer "here i go again on my own"
one of the few "calm" albums i can stand for now. those guys rule!

jake mandell / jeffers egan "slither" DVD
check this out! 2d/3d/organic/artificial visions far beyond.

semiconductor films "hi-fi rise" DVD
booklet says it has been released 2001 but i just got it a few weeks ago and had to put it here. fantastic! also features the best navigation menu i have ever seen.

[Basic]

In no particular order....

1. Silicon Scally - Mr Machine LP (SCSI)
2. Dirty Hospital - Rottenrow (Control Tower)
3. Kronos Device - Damage Control EP (Battle Trax)

10. King Britt - Supernatural (Derrick Carter remix) (Slip'n'Slide)

I would also like to mention the Rythym and Sound 10"s released as well - quality!!

There are many more, but these all took precidence in my eyes!!

[zombie ritual]
