currently in my 5-disc cd rotation, right here, right now, in america, the land of the free and the fee and the bovine

LTJ Bukem featuring MC Conrad - "Progression Sessions: Japan, Live 2002" - yeah, this is what you really need. no. read rant below.

Pieter K - new one whose name escapes my noggin - pretty good, intricate and ambitious breakbeat, drum 'n' bass and house. solid

Cinematic Orchestra - "Every Day" - this record continues to get better and better with each listen. definitely in my current top 5 of the year right now.

Thievery Corporation - "The Richest Man In Babylon" - this is ok...actually it's been growing on me. we'll see.

Arkestra One - "Arkestra One" - also on Thievery Corp's label, ESL...in that same sorta loungey kitschy jazzy smokey get-yer-ya-ya's-out vibe. yet odd by a bit. which helps. good use of sampled vocals.
munchy.

and there you have your current top five in the cd player.
my eyes are heavier than mr. heavyfoot's.
thank you poindexter.
