This is my choice in no particular order: 1. squarepusher: feed me weird things : rephlex This one is the best thing TJ has ever put out. Fantastic drum and bass. 2. autechre: tri repetae++ : warp/tvt First Ae I ever bought, it made me want to buy everything they had ever recorded. Maybe it's not their best release, but I heard it first... 3. boards of canada: music has the right to children : skam/warp Living in Canada and remembering the *boards of canada* vignettes, I think this album is the best piece of vinyl I ever bought. Can't describe what it does to me but like some other people said, the music puts you back in your deepest and farest memories. 4. req: one : skint Don't know why this one is released on Skint, it's not really their style. Extreme lo-fi hip hop and scratches. 4-track recording, dirty-tape samples, etc. Essential for those 4 AM parties. 5. various: skampler : skam This one is worth the import price simply for the Bola tracks. And the best part is that the rest is worth it too. Started a whole new bunch of releases that sound too much alike IMHO. The ones that almost made it: aphex twin: selected ambient works ii : warp/sire global goon: cradle of history : rephlex photek: modus operandi : astralwerks uziq: tango and vectif : rephlex? jega: card hore (or ska009 or whatever this one's called) : skam x-103: atlantis : tresor various: blech ii : warp lfo: advance : warp plaid: not for threes : warp flare: grip : ? christophe de babalon: if you're into it, then i'm out of it : dhr Sebastien np: jump up throw down (party music at work :))
