my new great albumn obsessions

[patrick]

so i figure not much new stuff has been mentioned here in music forums for a while so i thought i'd try to get the ball rolling with a few of the new albumns i have got (bought or downloaded) recently that have made the biggest impact with me, and a line or two of kinda what they are about...

start it off with:

infadels - we are not the infadels....
okay,this albumn is just fantastic. have only had it for a week or so but am already into every song on the albumn save a few and some of them are among my favorite rock songs in a long long time. to me, bit of bloc party, the faint and dandy warhols... (does have a lot of cool guitar riffs and electronics too)

the knife - silent shout
pretty electro and alll that genre. people that know their earlier albumn should be pleased or people generally into electronic/idm/ or whatever. i have little idea of the actual genre of it, but it's good, and pretty creepy.

big bud - fear of flying
big bud is probably my favorite dnb artist, maybe just a bit more fav. than bukem. reminds me a lot of late night blues, disk one in this is lots of spacey drum and bass and then disk two is a lot more chilled, trippy and jazzy. disk two is my favorite and songs like catch 22 and how i mkae my g's, and just can't hold me down are great... summer tunes!

aceyalone & rjd2 - magnificent city
got this promo and it's really quite pleasing. got a bad review on pitchfork which is one of the ways to find a good albumn on pitchfork. rjd2 lays down a great background the whole time, which is no suprise for me, and aceyalone is a pretty reasonable mc. songs like fire, high lights, and disconnected are my favs...

a couple others that have been good are:

guitar - tokyo: really chill, seems to me inspired heavily by traditional jap music.

ugly duckling - bang for the buck: my bro got me into this and it's really good too, best u.d. for me! good hip hop, fairly jazzy... recommended for hip hop lovers.

oh. also the coldcut, apparat w/ ellen allien and the spank rock albumns are grood and worth checking out, expecially the spank rock if you haven't yet...
