Geez looking at the Y4K releases on Amazon...I didn't realize so many had been released since! I remember checking out the ones from Freq Nasty and Ils at a record shop but I think at that point I was losing interest and getting back into rock, after a long stretch of clubbing.

I have some other great nu-breaks mixes, will have to look through my CDs. I think after a while the mixes were getting a little too progressive for me...too close to trance I guess. I like the more abrasive nu-breaks. There was a web radio program out of San Francisco around 2001-2002 that really got me into it, they played some really mind-blowing breaks that even these early comps couldn't compete with...real underground stuff, more like the stuff on the Botchit & Scarper label.

Fever Ray is a side project of Karin Dreiger of the Knife, a Swedish electronica band. This album feels like a continuation of the Knife's brilliant Silent Shout cd. The Knife is brother/sister duo of Karin and her brother Olaf.

Fans of Portishead, Massive Attack, Imogene Heap and Goldfrapp are likely to enjoy the dark frosty atmospherics. Fever Ray is one of my favorite 2009 releases and I'm hoping both Fever Ray and the Knife's music reaches a wider audience.

The Dreigers have used amusing tactics to make social statements in the Swedish media. In 2003, the Knife was nominated for two Swedish Grammis awards. However, the Dreijers boycotted the ceremony, sending two people in gorilla costumes to protest the dominance of male acts in the music industry

I've seen her live, she's brilliant. One of the synth players at the show was dancing in a very naff sort of way while... sort of swaying from side to side. I do that when I listen to the album now.

I got this myself a month or two back. Beautiful is such a heartfelt track. Good album.

Musically I thought it was pretty good, however the whiny vocals turned me off keeping it, a half decent listen, but not decent enough to warrent HDD space.

^ Frank Zappa's Overnite Sensation, for the benefit of having some more Zappaness of course.

Really really great. Not a funny as Candy Cigrettes, but pretty awesome.
