This really is one of their best albums,just a fantastic set of songs and melodies which everybody with a pair of ears should enjoy.

Sixtoo - Duration

Very awesome instrumental hip-hop, hadn't played this one in a while. If you like Blockhead and that sort of stuff, you'll dig this. And sadly I just discovered that he'll no longer be releasing music as Sixtoo (no word on whether he will under other aliases) due to the theft of hard drives containing his material:

"In the summer of 2009, a break-in @ the working compound of Weaponshouse saw a hard-drive and backup hard-drive stolen. Unreleased Sixtoo recordings, session stems, sample kits and loops as well as entire body of archive material spanning 15 years was stolen from a locked residence. This break-in officially closed the project in 2009, the last full length release was Sixtoo LP was 2007's "Jackals and Vipers in Envy of Man" still available on the Ninja Tune label."

This makes me very very sad!

and angry at the thieves!!

It's interesting you say that. I always had that feeling myself - however, a couple nights ago I decided to listen to Black Bastards while walking the dogs and I thought "holy shit! This is so much better than I remembered!" Anyway, if you want every track to be pure gold you can listen to the comp that Fondle 'Em records released..

i think maybe i just have a particularly ****ty quality mp3 'copy' of the album, a bad vinyl rip or something, i always assumed they scraped it up from demo tapes as it was a posthumous release. should give it another session and report back. Mind you, it takes a long while listening to either of their records and cross-referencing some of the abstract lyrical turns on the net to fully appreciate how cool they were. It seems to me that the most Nation-orientated groups in this period were the most florid with their rhymes, some of the best outlandish slang that maybe only pops up once or twice, anywhere

this is 'the single' and all, but is what i like to call hardconscious

Devin Townsend Project - Addicted!

I managed to score a leaked copy of the 2nd album of a 4 album project. It has Devin Townsend's name on it so I'm pretty much predisposed to liking it because of my fanboydom for Devin. This has a far more upbeat and danceable feel to it than all of Devin's other solo works. This album also seems much simpler, no real deep meaning to any of the songs, but rather a "have a good time" feeling to them. This album will definitely assuage some of the feelings fans had after hearing Ki because it's a lot harder in style. I just listened to a 30 minute interview with him explaining the four albums in this series and it makes Ki make a lot more sense, as well as the demise of Strapping Young Lad. After hearing about the other two albums in the series I have to say I'm incredibly excited for the next one, Deconstruction because it's apparently suppose to be just as chaotic as Strapping Young Lad but retaining the melodic nature that makes Devin's solo work so amazing.

An upload of this would be unreal.

nice, didn't know about these guys.

at this point, i think i just need to go find everything that was ever released on Ninja Tune, because chances are, it's awesome

EDIT - oh my god and jesus as well! i just found rapidshare links for basically everything ever released on Ninja Tunes. it's pretty cool.

A long-lost Irish pop classic.Some of it's a bit dated,but it still deserves much wider exposure.
