Richard Coleman Devine (new one on Schematic)
I like this record.  It grows on me a little more everytime I listen to it.
 It has an funky electro groove I can dance to (in my slow-beat style!) but
it's still packed out with the distorted, grungy tech-noise Richard is
known for by his earlier techno releases for Communique & Six Sixty Six.
The flute-like melodies are a nice touch, they balance out the hard beats.
& he samples speak & spell...how can you go wrong?! 
        The thing of it is...Richard told me these tracks are over a year & a half
old.  I wonder what he's cooking up in his studio kitchen now ;)

        After bugging the record store buyers for weeks, I finally got my hands on
the new Boards of Canada. (we're a little behind down here in Atlanta).
It's as beautiful as you all hailed it to be...exactly my style... & is my
fav for the month!        
        My other record of choice is the Jurassic Five EP.  My favorite is the
song right before Lesson 6 (but only because I've played lesson 6 time &
time again since the release of Deep Concentration last year)

        I picked up the new Ninja Tune comp.  Kungfunkfusion (?)   I found it to
be a little lackluster compared to previous Ninja comps & albums,  except
for the Gilberto ensemble which I'm convinced must be Squarepusher.  The
design detailing is exquisit & might I add that the visual reels during the
tour blew me away.
