It's no The Sun Rises in the East, but it's still pretty solid. Jeru's pretty underrated as far as MC's go, but then again he's been sort of hit-or-miss for most of his career.

I've heard good things about this dude, but honestly, I got this entirely because of the title. We shall see how it holds up.

Crocodiles-Summer Of Hate. Not bad at all. Lo Fi Psychedelic new wave indie- sort- Ha! Ex members of The Plot To Blow Up The Eiffel Tower if that helps.

Black Metal but with a splash of Industrial and some melody. I think it's bloody great and a little different to many bands out there.

Owen- New Leaves

It's pretty amazing, but IMO At Home... is still his best.

Handsome Boy Modeling School- So...How's Your Girl?

I like their last album a bit more, but this one has some pretty epic turntabling and more straight-forward on the whole hip-hop aspect than White People.
Waterworld's flat-out AMAZING.

I ordered a few CDs today, all of which I have on MP3 and are obviously good enough that I wanted physical copies. And seeing jackhammer's post right above, I can't just post and run! So I'll leave some comments.

Silver Jews - American Water
I've heard 3 of their albums and this is by far the one I enjoy most. Perhaps because Stephen Malkmus does a lot of the vocals.

Architeq - Gold + Green
Really been enjoying this one lately. Don't know quite how to describe it...electronic, kind of IDM, a bit of wonk, good bass, but chill. Funky with good melodies. Vocals on a couple of tracks (male and female on separate tracks), which I normally don't go for with a lot of electronic but they work really well here. His style reminds me a lot of Kelpe who I've been a big fan of the past year.

Not Breathing - The Black Old Pueblo
This dude makes a lot of his own hardware. He's been around a while, basically making experimental techno, sometimes ambient. He kind of straddles the fence between industrial and IDM...but his style varies a good bit from album to album. This is my personal favorite of the 3-4 I've heard, and includes collaborations with Jack Dangers (Meat Beat Manifesto) and Mark Spibey (Dead Voices on Air, Download, Beehatch, etc) among others.

Robert Logan - Cognessence
I don't remember how I heard of this guy, but he makes really nice IDM. Very intricate stuff, often dark, sometimes atmospheric yet he's not afraid of melodies. I hear some Autechre influence for sure, maybe Richard Devine too, and there is also a strong classical influence present.

Just ordered one more CD. A really nice electronic album from Spain. Sounds like a mixture of Plaid and Autechre.

EEDL - Everse

Bought

Anathema - A Natural Disaster

My favourite Anathema album. I actually picked up my 2nd favourite last week at the record store so finding this one there today was pretty cool.

The Fiery Furnaces - Blueberry Boat

I mostly bought this for the booklet with the lyrics, but it does feel nice to have an indie rock album in my mostly metal CD library.

Type O Negative - Bloody Kisses

So I originally bought this album in like 2001 from the same place I was today, but sold it back to them in 2006 to help pay for gas. My library really is not complete without it.

Judas Priest - Jugulator

Pretty much the same deal with Type O Negative, had it, sold it, bought it back.

Suffice it to say the clerk was a little perplexed with the stack, metal, metal, metal, wtf?

I only listened to this album yesterday for the first time in a few months. I really like it and want to hear it full bitrate.
