The one thing I miss about posts in this music forum, is when you provide a description of an album when you're recommending it.

If you just say "I just picked up Oblivion With Bells by Underworld" and that's all you say, I have no idea what style of music, or what vibe I'm going to get with an album. If I get a little explanation of the sound of the album, I am way more likely to go and find the album if it sounds like something good to me.

Leon's first post, and TheRev's last post in this thread are prime examples of what I love.

I remember way back in the old days, about 6 years ago, Matt recommended the "Carboot Soul" album by Nightmares On Wax. Just from the album title it didn't sound like anything good to me, but the way Matt described the music, or what theme it fit (summer chill instrumental hip hop), I ended up going out and getting it. To this day it's one of my favorite albums ever.
Thanks for the compliments

And wow, I almost forgot about Carboot Soul!!! Used to be one of my favorites! Gonna dig it out again.
