I just cannot believe that person who likes Luke Vibert's output, and
have everything that he released can like/buy something similar to
Chemical Brothers. OK, I like C.B., the same way as I like Spice
Girls, or that new Barbie Girl thing. But that doesn't mean that I have
to buy all these CDs and listen to them at home. I love music, and
I am limited with money like all of you so I cannot buy everything...
So I buy only that I like the most, and I don't even have enough money
to buy that because I have really wide musical taste....
So now, I don't even care what I will buy, cos I didn't buy and missed
so many stuff that I'd love to hear....and now I am really confused.
Can you maybe give me some advices what should I buy first
of those listed bellow :
Morgan Geist  CD  on Clear
Reflection "Morerronormous World" CD
Daniel Ibbotson  CD on Reel
As One "Planetary Folklore" CD 
As One "Reflections on Reflections" CD
Mark Broom "Angie is a Shoplifter" CD
Claude Young CD on Elypsia
Spunk Jazz CD on ILL
Conemelt "24 Carat Conemelt" CD
There are too many fools folowing too many roles  2CD
Rob Gordon Projects CD on Source

I don't have money at the moment for all of them, and I am preparing
to order just 5 of these CDs. Which 5 I should take first ? Probably
it doesn't matter, because all of these must be brilliant....
You see my point now, how can I even think of Chemical Brothers ?

Let me tell you what they are : They aren't music lovers !
