New Model Army are superb and one of my faves. So VERY British!

Listening to, and very much enjoying, Live at the Olympia by REM... one of the best live albums ever, and easily eclipses REM live, which unfortunately carries too much material from the lacklustre Around the Sun album... but this album has an awesome mix of newer material, then unreleased stuff for Accelerate and the good, very good and GREAT older material... even a few tracks that didn't see the light of day on Accelerate...

I love this double live album.

Solid. I've really enjoyed all of the Nujabes work I've heard.

If there was one area of the forum if I had the ability to shut down, it would be 'Pop'. Such moronic discussions take place there, it takes so much will power to really ignore it.

I'm all for being open-minded and all but there is only so much everyone can take. I agree 100%... haha

I've been doing a lot of heavy listening lately, and getting back into some Nick Cave. This album is so very underrated.

Aphex Twin- Selected Ambient Works 85-92
When I first heard this album, I was wearing headphones and thought it was kind of boring. However, I put the album in the car on a whim today, and holy crap did that make a huge difference. Now, this may only be my perception of it, but I don't think this album can be fully appreciated by just listening with your ears. You have to feel it with your body. Feel the bass, and how it mixes with the mid and the treble, creating this kind of atmosphere. That's why I didn't find it very interesting while wearing headphones, atleast I think anyway.

Ahh yes! Great album. I had found Uyama Hiroto first and found Nujabes through him. Their sound is quite similar so if you haven't heard anything from Uyama, you need to! It's such a shame Nujabes passed away so young

Very sad. I'm not sure if you listen to very much Downtempo/Electro Acoustic but I find it to be similar to smooth Hip Hop except maybe more chilled.
