I only burn cds for my personal use in djing and performance. The odds that I will even bother responding to your request to burn something for you are extremely small, SO DON'T BOTHER ASKING unless you have something insanely rare to offer in return.
My Wantlist is largely a reminder to myself to search for those items in my list. There are VERY few cases where I will directly buy something from you that's on my Wantlist, unless it is available for bid on eBAY.

mjsmith1979 First vinyl is the remastered original album, the 2nd two are not part of the original release, and so are separated. |

My copy has a small sticker printed affixed to the jewel case front covering up "unicorn", printed with "keena maareme".

I have to say the gem of this little EP for me is track 9... L.A. musician/artist Teebs takes the Clock Catcher harp arrangement in track 1, chops it, throws it into a cuisinart and shakes a lazy bump-n-click into it... turning it into magic sauce. ...

A nice retro track, but VERY derivative (and almost a straight rip-off) of Vangelis' "Pulstar".
Not as obvious as the actual Hipnosis <a href="/Hipnosis-Pulstar-End-Title-Blade-Runner/master/55161">cover</a> released around the same time, but still... |

And there was this wacky band called Kraftwerk that originally did "Hall of Mirrors".
The surprises keep coming! It's almost like they didn't even write their own songs... poseurs... |

Wow. Where in the hell did this come from? Three tracks in on first listen and I had already given it a "5" rating. A little bit of Proem, a little bit of Arovane, a little bit of CHEjU, and a whole lot of his own unique thing. An unknown gem...

This is not the warm, fuzzy, uplifting Interchill you think you know. THIS release is all about the DOWNlift.
This is music to accompany the rush of adrenaline as you wait around a dark corner, about to beat someone's ass. Music to have in the... See full review |

After almost 2 years of existence, and with 5 brilliant releases (not including two forthcoming at the time of this post), I think it's safe to say that Sending Orbs is the new Merck, the new Clear, the new GPR... the newest standard label for lovers...

Oh.... it's supposed to be played at 45rpm? Well, add another embarrassed fool that was playing it at 33. It's still an amazing track, but it seems to lose a bit of its grandeur once you speed it up. Also, the middle driving section... See full review |

Although some have noted that track 8 samples Negativland's "Michael Jackson" from their classic "Escape From Noise", the sample source is actually the same for both songs: an obscure record featuring the infamous cult Church Universal & Triumphant -...

Fantastic deep, dark ambient... alternately evocative of Steve Roach, Lustmord and Kim Cascone.

A classic piece of retro wax guaranteed to simultaneously get the goths swooshing and the breakdancers poppin and lockin on the dance floor - especially the b-side.
Perhaps the closest thing to a pure and equal fusion of Old-School Electro and... See full review |

This cd is actually on the Ultimae precursor label Infinium.
Vincent Villuis, who co-compiled and mixed this cd, is part of Asura - one of the Ultimae groups featured on this cd. I'm personally not much for pre-mixed ambient/chill cds, but I have to... See full review |

The music from the Aeon Flux cartoon. MTV were such soulless bastards about this cd (as if that's a surprise). Even though Drew had permission from Aeon Flux creator Peter Chung to subtitle the album "The Music of Aeon Flux", MTV wouldn't let Tone...

LP cover unfolds to create a large (3 feet across, 4 feet from top to bottom) cross.
"Fuckhead" is still an amazing feat of sound to me... bagpipes and a strident protest rant over minimalistic loops and a butt-shaking hardcore beat (accented by... See full review |

These tracks aren't *actually* from between 1981-1984 (as stated in the notes), even though it says that on the cd. Since Håkan is in his late twenties, he would have had to create these tracks as a toddler. These are all new tracks (and pretty...

This was a solo project of Murray Clarke (one half of Bullitnuts) specifically for the Sty Wars compilation. His contribution on that album ("Bizarre Love Pentangle" - extra points for the great title) was arguably the strongest jam on there. When...

This label was established by Waldorf Electronics, the makers of the classic Wave, PPG Wave, Microwave I & II and Waldorf Q synthesizers. Their compilations feature tracks that conspicuously use Waldorf synths and plugins.

These guys were Nina Hagen's backing band during her 80's heyday - they released 3 or 4 albums on CBS Germany, but I personally know them for one of the most annoyingly catchy tunes from that decade: "Carbonara". Pseudo-kraut-reggae (Eddy Grant meets...

Strong evidence that Andy Cato should just ditch Groove Armada, and stick with this project. Much more genuine, no forced funkiness... and plenty of great beats as well as outstanding vocals from Rachel Foster. The perfect example of pop-house music...

Wow... I've listened to this cd 4 times in the past 24 hours (including right now) and I'm still wanting more.
This sucker is all over the place... A bit of rap from Pigeon John, free verse from Saul Williams over beautiful female vocals (via a... See full review |

Pretty unique stuff... Very nice down-tempo beats, with just a bit of glitch (a la Four Tet) thrown in here and there... plus double bass, clarinet, some flute and beautifully ethereal female vocals. Track 2 "phi_log" (along with the clarinet solo...

Excellent cd from an unknown band - Deepfried Toguma are the trio of Danish producers Frithjof Toksvig and Martin Lind, along with Morrocan vocalist El Dub.
Their very rare debut cd "Subtic" was good, but a bit too heavy on the vocals, in my opinion.... See full review |
