Viktor Vaughn - Vaudeville Villain - 07-Jun-07 12:10 AM
Blimey, can't believe no-one's commented on this amazing record. Mr. Dumile's dark, witty, smutty and funny alter ego spits out the lyrics while an array of excellent producers drop some of the finest and most innovative beats, providing the perfect backdrop to the twisted world of Vik. So many stand out tunes and one of the best hidden tracks I've ever heard which switches through 5 or 6 classy head-nodding breaks, one after the other. Yo, change that beat, Max!
Foo Fighters - Foo Fighters - 27-May-06 04:33 PM
Ah, I love this album. It's partly for the music and partly for the fond memories of being 14, not really liking electronic music (that would change quite radically in years to come!) and living in a very rock-oriented part of the world. After this Foo Fighters weren't as raw as on this album, they started going quite poppy which is fair enough I suppose - Dave Grohl's no Kurt Cobain. Great stuff!
Lo-Fidelity Allstars - How To Operate With A Blown Mind - 11-May-06 02:55 PM
Yeah, I think the only reason the Lo-Fi's were put in with the big beat thing was because they were on Skint, which I suppose is understandable seeing as they were the definitive big beat label. Thing is, they never had much in common with the likes of Fatboy Slim or Cut La Roc apart from the obvious hip hop influences. This album confirms that with a hugh range of moods and styles from the bombastic opener 'Warming Up The Brainfarm', the electro funk of 'Battle Flag' and the claustrophobic title track to name a few. An unheralded gem!
Various - Anticon Label Sampler: 1999 - 2004 - 17-Mar-06 08:33 AM
I love this complilation so much, it introduced me to the delights of Anticon and I've now bought a lot of other stuff on the label on the strength of the tracks on here.
Themselves - well, I could listen to Dose One's voice all day and couple that with Jel's stunning production and you've got a winning comibnation.
Alias - a man who combines the two disciplines of rhyming and producing dope beats with total conviction.
Sole - I love this man's velvet tones!
Odd Nosdam - Dumb This Down, absolute classic production.
Pedestrian - I'd like to meet him some day.
Why? - The 3rd link in the cLOUDDEAD chain making some weird but highly enjoyable acoustic ditties.
Passage - The Unstrung Harp: a bit like Boards of Canada doing hip hop. Nice.
Sage Francis - every time I hear Crack Pipes I get a lump in my throat.
That was a bit long but I feel all these guys deserve a mention. BUY THIS!

I just saw Mugison last night, supporting Arab Strap at Triptych in Glasgow. Very funny man, great wee stories and jokes. He plays some nice tunes too. So much so that I bought his latest album straight from the man himself after the gig. If you get the chance, go and see him for some great acoustic/electronic ditties and deadpan Icelandic humour!
