Vieux Farka Touré - Vieux Farka Touré
^ Son of the late, great Ali Farka Touré, his debut here captures the wonderful, unique sound of Malian desert blues superbly. He's either got a new album out recently or it's still in the pipeline. Either way, I'm intrigued.
Junkie XL - Music From SSX Blur
^ The soundtrack to a snowboarding game of the same name, it's a bit more watered-down than the more hard-hitting breakbeat sound he usually goes for, but there are still some sublime tracks here on a very good album.
Leonard Cohen - Various Positions
^ 2 or 3 great songs, but otherwise it's as mediocre as the thinking behind its title.
Amorphous Androgynous - Alice Ultraland
^ And I still can't get enough of this. Great neo-psyche freak-out kinda stuff.
