As part of my friend's venture into owning a record label (Elsie & Jack --
plug intended), we've been sifting through material sent to us in the past
few months.  The depth of quality and the range of locales has really
surprised me; in fact, some of the best recordings I've heard so far has
been from a guy who lives in Alabama.  It's not exactly dance music --
closer to noise or experimental electronics -- but it's incredibly good.  I
wish I could remember his name off-hand; he may even be on this list for
all I know.
