asphodel's asphodelic sampler: not sure how long this release has been out, i just saw it at a local store for $6 and was very pleasantly surprised. the scratching on the mixmaster mike tracks are great, and i even like the dj spooky tracks on there...i dont know why everyone who knocked on his mannerisms also knocked his music, it was nice and smooth and definitely hit the emotional level with me. perhaps i haven't heard enough to fully understand... anyway, a nice cheap cd with some great songs, an overall great value for some fairly 'i' content. and on a related note...i've been listening to a lot of a tribe called quest, and have been seeing a lot of interesting parallels between good hip hop and idm. not that that's news to anybody ;) -sean
