Silent Killer

No, I'm not talking about carbon monoxide...

Even if you do not think you'd be a fan of Silent Killer's dark and aggressive drum 'n' bass, check it out anyway.

Don't wanna be rich, don't wanna be famous

HURTS

I don't believe I have gone more than two hours, throughout the past twelve hours, without listening to this song:

Classic.

All right, so this is admittedly

kind of cool:

Pulsewidth.

Yes, Aphex Twin's Selected Ambient Works 85-92 is a veritable reference guide of sounds and techniques for all those who dare to make "electronica."


And yes, giving mere lip service to the term "ingenious" is foolish, but it fits so well.




THAT right there. Just that.

George Evelyn!

Admittedly, Smokers Delight had remained my penultimate favourite when it came to Nightmares on Wax albums. Until now, that is. Carboot Soul -- mostly because of "Les Nuits" UGH! -- always ranked at the top, while A Word of Science fell somewhere third. So, I guess you could say Smokers Delight kind of landed in the middle (and not counting the others). Lately, however, I'm finding myself unable to stop listening to that album. God, it's so spectacular!

I only started listening to NoW about six or seven years ago -- just as I was first discovering the splendour of "underground hip-hop" -- you know, Atmosphere, Sole, Sage Francis, RJD2, DJ Shadow, etc., etc. There was just something about Nightmares that elevated "them" to another echelon. Something really special.








I'm telling you...all of the best musicians are from Leeds.
