Last album you bought or downloaded

yeah, i did get it a while ago...but i only had it ripped to my computer, and since then i had to wipe my hard drive. so i just recently got an actual copy. i like it a lot. grittiness is good. its sooo much different from their first album though. its got a much darker sound.

Mind bending organic dub from one of the new generation of dub masters. Blackbeard's dub is the freshest sound I've heard in a while.

I already own most of Son House's music on vinyl and cRAB but I couldn't resist this remastered edition of his 1965 sessions. Son House was a good friend and mentor to Robert Johnson and arguably a more intense performer than Robert himself. His vocals are amazing.

Future Sound of Russia is the rare collection of electronic indie music that lives up to the pre-release hype of the record label. Part of the Rykodisk public relations blurb on this album is as follows:

This album is a big bundle of prime selections and one of the best dance albums I've purchased in years.
 
I'd say their big reunion album, Two Against Nature is pretty decent (not exactly a knockout first listen, but a grower nonetheless), if not quite up there with the earlier works though. For me it's all about Aja, Can't Buy a Thrill and Pretzel Logic. If you haven't already got the latter two I couldn't recommend them enough.
 
Woah...I used to be into those. I have the Y3K: Deep Progressive Breaks and Y3K: Soundtrack To The Future by Hyper, Y4K: Next Level Breaks by Koma & Bones, and Y4K: Further Still by Tayo...all on CD. Geez looking at the Y4K releases on Amazon...I didn't realize so many had been released since! I remeraber checking out the ones from Freq Nasty and Ils at a record shop but I think at that point I was losing interest and getting back into rock, after a long stretch of clubbing. :p: I have some other great nu-breaks mixes, will have to look through my CRAB. I think after a while the mixes were getting a little too progressive for me...too close to trance I guess. I like the more abrasive nu-breaks. There was a web radio program out of San Francisco around 2001-2002 that really got me into it, they played some really mind-blowing breaks that even these early comps couldn't compete with...real underground stuff, more like the stuff on the Botchit & Scarper label.

Quite shocked that I didn't have this album already. I had a hard copy but lent it to a friend who never gave it back and as far as I know lives in Australia... I hope he has herpes.
